China indoor vacuum circuit breaker VCB manufactured by Rockwill Electric.Including 12kV, 24kV, 40.5kV. It applies to many types of switchgears SM6, Uniswitch, HXGN, etc.
The vacuum circuit-breakers of type VD4-12/24/40.5 are intended for indoor installation in air-insulated switchgear systems.
They have a switching capacity capable of handling the loads occurring at start-up and shutdown of equipment and plant units both in normal and in fault state.
Vacuum circuit-breakers have particular advantages for use in networks where there is a high switching frequency in the working current range and/or where a certain number of short-circuit breaking operations are expected.
TypeVD4-12/24/40.5 vacuum circuit-breakers are suitable for auto reclosing, and have exceptionally high operating reliability and long life.
The vacuum circuit-breakers of type VD4-12/24/40.5, designed in column form, can be supplied both as individual units for switchgear Type SM6, Uniswitch, HXGN, etc.

Installation and operating instructions
The VD4-R each pole houses a vacuum interrupter which is encased in the resin when the cylinder is moulded thanks to a special manufacturing process.
This construction method protects the vacuum interrupter from shock, pollution and condensation.
The operating mechanism is the EL trip-free stored energy type with independent opening and closing regardless of the opera-tor’s action. The EL operating mechanism is widely used in all VD4 series circuit-breakers with frontal control.
The circuit-breaker can be remote controlled when fitted with dedicated electrical accessories (gearmotor, opening and closing release).
The operating mechanism, the three poles and the current sensors (if provided) are installed on a metal frame without wheels. The construction is particularly compact, sturdy and of limited weight.
VD4 series circuit-breakers with lateral operating mechanisms are life-long sealed pressure devices
(Standards IEC 62271-100).
