Product Overview

The LW9-72.5 is an outdoor high-voltage SF6 circuit breaker rated at 4000A with a 40kA short-circuit breaking current for 72.5kV power systems. Its high breaking capacity and spring operating mechanism enable fast fault interruption, protecting substation equipment from short-circuit damage. The SF6 arc-extinguishing medium provides reliable switching performance in outdoor environments.

Key Features

  • 4000A rated current: Continuous current rating of 4000A supports heavy-load feeder and transformer protection circuits in 72.5kV substations without derating.
  • 40kA short-circuit breaking capacity: Interrupts fault currents up to 40kA at high speed, clearing short-circuit faults on busbars, transformers, and transmission lines before equipment damage occurs.
  • SF6 gas arc extinguishing: Sulfur hexafluoride provides fast dielectric recovery after arc interruption, suited for repeated switching duty in outdoor installations.
  • Spring operating mechanism: Stores and releases mechanical energy for high-speed contact separation, ensuring consistent breaking performance across operating cycles.
  • 160kV power frequency withstand: Rated 1-minute power frequency withstand voltage of 160kV to earth and 160+42kV across the fracture, providing insulation margin for 72.5kV system voltage.
  • OEM/ODM customization: Rated current, voltage, IP level, and dimensional parameters can be tailored to project requirements. Manufacturing follows ISO9001-2000 standards in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, China.
  • Comprehensive technical support: 24-hour English-language response via email, WhatsApp, and Skype. On-site engineer dispatch is available for commissioning and troubleshooting support.
