Product Overview
The LW-252 is a split-type outdoor SF6 circuit breaker for 252 kV, 50 Hz high-voltage systems. The current product data lists a 4000 A rated current, 50 kA rated short-circuit breaking current, three poles, and outdoor installation. These ratings make the model relevant to projects that require high-voltage switching and fault interruption, subject to coordination with the complete substation design and local requirements.

Configuration and Project Fit
- Split-type outdoor construction: The product is identified as a split-type breaker intended for outdoor installation.
- SF6 interruption medium: SF6 is listed as the arc-extinguishing medium for the LW-252.
- Protection functions: The source product data lists circuit-breaker failure protection and overcurrent protection. Final protection functions depend on the selected relay, control scheme, and system coordination.
- Customization: OEM/ODM service and custom specifications are listed as available. Confirm the required electrical, mechanical, control, and environmental details before ordering.
What to Confirm Before Ordering
Verify the system voltage, continuous current, short-circuit duty, frequency, insulation levels, pole arrangement, operating mechanism, control voltage, protection interface, installation environment, and applicable local standards. The 50 kA withstand value shown in the source data does not state a duration, so that duration should be confirmed for the project.
