Arc Extinguishing Principle

The ZN63A(VS1)-12/24 series circuit breaker utilizes a vacuum interrupter with a high degree of vacuum. During normal opening or short-circuit interruption, the moving contact is driven by the operating mechanism, causing it to separate from the fixed contact and generate an arc between them. Due to the special design of the moving and fixed contacts, an axial magnetic field is generated between them. This field controls the arc, causing it to burn uniformly and move across the contact surface while maintaining a low arc voltage. When the arc current naturally passes through zero, the remaining ions, electrons, and metal vapor, under the influence of the electromagnetic field, quickly recombine or condense on the contact surfaces and the shield. The dielectric strength across the interrupter gap is rapidly restored, thereby extinguishing the arc and achieving the purpose of interruption.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the main application of the VS1 series vacuum circuit breaker? A: It is primarily used for protecting and controlling electrical equipment in industrial and mining enterprises, power plants, and substations, especially in places requiring frequent operation at rated current or multiple short-circuit breaking.
Q2: What are the rated voltage options for this series? A: This series is available in both 12kV and 24kV rated voltage configurations to meet different power system requirements.
Q3: What is the mechanical life expectancy of the VS1-12/24? A: The VS1 series is designed for high reliability with a mechanical life of up to 20,000 operations.
Q4: Can this circuit breaker be used at high altitudes? A: Yes, though the standard design is for altitudes ≤1000m. For higher altitude requirements, the rated insulation level must be adjusted accordingly.
Q5: How does the vacuum interrupter extinguish the arc? A: It uses an axial magnetic field design that keeps the arc burning uniformly and ensures rapid dielectric restoration once the current passes through zero.
Q6: What phase distances are available for the withdrawable type? A: Common phase distances include 150mm, 210mm, and 275mm, depending on the rated current and specific model configuration.
