Product Detail

Description:

VD4-CS is the unique solution based on new vacuum interrupter technology and an innovative actuation systems up to 38kV, 1250A, 31.5kA and with superior noise-free performances, to support your business needs in reactive power compensation.Noise-free power quality by safe and reliable switching and protection of capacitor banks.

Key benefits:

  • Inrush elimination thanks to high accuracy in controlled switching technology.
  • Up to 5-times higher performance than the market standard with 10,000 maintenance-, inrush- and restrike-free operations.
  • Enables elimination of inrush limiting reactors and resistances, leading to significant cost and space savings.
  • Cost saving by as much as 20%, using same ratings, same interfaces of existing MV substation thanks to optimized footprint equivalent to standard distribution breakers.
  • Reduced total cost of capacitor bank operation due to elimination of downtime for breaker overhaul and a lifespan 5 times the market standard, with predictive health indication.
  • Fast and reliable support thanks to ABB’s global footprint.
  • Assets optimization having both circuit-breaker and capacitive switching devices in one single solution.
  • Enables increased lifespan of capacitors by more than 10% in e.g. 3 years.

Key features:

  • Embedded advanced diagnostics.
  • Up to 38 kV, 1250A, 31.5 kA.
  • 10,000 maintenance-free and noise-free operations.

The CB comprises of:

  • Three poles in epoxy resin containing the vacuum interrupter.
  • Three brushless servomotors, one per phase with double encoder.
  • Three electronic controllers, one per phase, communicating hierarchically with each otherand with the first unit controls the entire system.
  • An electronic supply unit.
  • A capacitor for storing the energy required to operate the CB in the absence of auxiliary supply.
  • Three sensors and three mechanical position indicators.

FAQ
Q: What inspections should be performed after a short-circuit fault in a vacuum circuit breaker?
A: Check contact erosion: Minor erosion is acceptable (cumulative wear ≤3mm), but replace the vacuum interrupter if damage is severe. Test switching time and synchronization: Ensure values meet specifications to prevent operational issues caused by mechanism changes. Clean arc byproducts: Remove debris from the interrupter surface and inspect insulation components for impact damage or cracks.
Q: What are the differences between indoor vacuum circuit breakers and SF₆ circuit breakers?
A: Arc-quenching medium: Vacuum circuit breakers use vacuum for arc quenching (environmentally friendly, no greenhouse gases), while SF₆ circuit breakers use SF₆ gas (requiring attention to gas leakage and environmental treatment). Volume and maintenance: Vacuum circuit breakers are smaller in size and have a longer maintenance cycle (the maintenance-free cycle can reach 10 years); SF₆ circuit breakers require regular detection of gas pressure.

I. Core Cause of Damage: Electrodynamic Impact (Complying with GB/T 1094.5 / IEC 60076-5)The direct cause of high-voltage winding end collapse is the instantaneous electrodynamic impact induced by short-circuit current. When a single-phase grounding fault occurs in the system (such as lightning overvoltage, insulation breakdown, etc.), the grounding transformer, as the fault current path, withstands high-amplitude and steep-rise-rate short-circuit currents.
