Product Overview
The LW9-72.5 is an outdoor high-voltage sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) circuit breaker designed for 72.5kV power systems, featuring combined reclosing capability rated at 3150A. It uses SF6 gas as the arc-extinguishing medium and a spring operating mechanism for high-speed switching. The breaker is built for outdoor installation in substations and power distribution networks where reliable fault clearing and automatic reclosing are required.
Key Features
- Combined reclosing capability: Rated combined reactor current of 3150A supports auto-reclosing sequences for overhead line protection, reducing outage duration after transient faults.
- 40kA short-circuit breaking current: Interrupts fault currents up to 40kA with high-speed operation, protecting transformers, busbars, and downstream feeders from short-circuit damage.
- SF6 arc extinguishing: Sulfur hexafluoride gas provides efficient arc quenching with fast dielectric recovery, suited for outdoor high-voltage switching duty.
- 72.5kV rated voltage with 350kV lightning impulse withstand: Designed for 72.5kV systems with lightning impulse withstand of 350kV to earth and 350+60kV across the fracture, providing insulation coordination for overhead line and substation entry protection.
- 100kA peak withstand current: Withstands peak short-circuit currents of 100kA and 40kA for 3 seconds, ensuring mechanical and thermal stability during fault conditions.
- OEM/ODM customization: Parameters including rated current, voltage class, IP protection level, and operating mechanism can be adjusted to project specifications. Factory located in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, China.
- ISO9001-2000 certified manufacturing: Production follows ISO9001-2000 quality management standards. English manuals, test reports, certificates, and wiring diagrams are provided for customs clearance and commissioning.

Applications
Suitable for 72.5kV outdoor substations, power transmission line protection, and distribution networks requiring combined reclosing functionality. The breaker protects against short-circuit faults on overhead lines and cable circuits, and supports auto-reclosing sequences to restore supply after transient faults. Buyers should verify pole configuration, control voltage, and protection relay compatibility with their substation design.
