Integrated NU-GFV-12-630-20 Circuit Breaker for Modern GIS Cabinets
Product Description
The NU-GFV-12-630-20 Circuit Breaker is a high-performance vacuum arc-extinguishing solution designed specifically for 12kV/630A environmentally friendly gas-insulated switchgear. This switch features an innovative integrated structure that combines an isolating switch and a circuit breaker, significantly simplifying installation and maintenance. By utilizing a vacuum chamber for arc suppression, it ensures high safety, stable performance, and the ability to interrupt short-circuit currents up to 20kA, meeting the rigorous standards of GB/T1984-2014.
Applications
- Core component for 12kV eco-friendly gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) cabinets.
- Designed to interrupt load currents and protect against short-circuit faults in industrial and grid networks.
- Flexible configurations (Isolator top/VCB bottom or vice versa) to meet diverse power supply needs.
