Introduction
A circuit breaker (CB) is an electrical switch designed to protect electrical circuits from damage caused by overload or short circuit. Our TZN1 indoor vacuum circuit breaker (VCB) is the latest domestic achievement. It is available in many varieties, excellent in performance, and widely applicable to:
a. energy and infrastructure: power plants, 220KV/110KV substations, primary and secondary distribution systems.
b. industrial production: power supply systems for pulp and paper, construction materials (glass, cement, ceramics), steel and metal products, aluminum, petrochemical and other industrial productions.
c. building:power supply system of large-, medium-sized buildings and residential areas.
d. other: petrochemical, transportation, and mining areas

Complete Series
Rated voltage: 10kV (12kV), 20kV (24kV), 36kV (40.5kV)
Rated current: 630A, 1250A,1600A, 2000A, 2500A, 3150A,4000A,
Rated short circuit breaking current: 20kA, 25kA, 31.5kA, 40kA

Technology Leader
The use of the world latest embedded pole distinguishes the TZN1 indoor high voltage circuit breaker from others. The embedded pole is based on epoxy resin and cast by the most advanced APG technology. Vacuum interrupter, primary conductive circuit parts and isolated rod are enclosed together in the embedded pole to achieve a complete separation between the conductive circuit and the exterior. The structure is miniaturized and maintenance free, while having high dielectric strength, so as to allow the vacuum circuit breaker to run normally in harsh environment.

Flexible Configuration
The operating mechanism of the TZN1 vacuum circuit breaker is of positive arrangement, allowing fixed and withdrawable mounting methods as well as manual and electric drive methods. The mechanism is suitable for ABB-UniGear, SIEMENS-NXAIR, SCHNEIDER-NVNEX and TELLHOW-KYN28A series medium voltage switchgears.

Superior Quality
TZN1 vacuum circuit breakers all should pass rigorous routine tests. Parts and their suppliers are required in accordance with the latest domestic supplier quality management system (SQM) to pass periodic assessment to ensure quality consistency. Our designing, manufacturing, mounting, and servicing comply with rules of ISO 9001: 2000 quality management system.

Environmentally Friendly
The design of the TZN1 vacuum circuit breaker is based on European environmental standards, in full compliance with requirements of ISO14001 environmental management system. Our waste parts recycling rate reaches as high as 80%.

Note: when rated current reaches above 2500A, a cooler is required.

a. withdrawable latching solenoid (RL2)
The function is to prevent the withdrawable circuit breaker from being drawn into switchgear in the case of being connected with secondary circuit air outlet. For the secondary air outlet, matching proper pin matrix with different currents can prevent circuit breaker with wrong rated current from being drawn into switchgear.

b. secondary shunt opening release (MO2)
The opening release allows another set of independent secondary power supply, and allows remote opening control.

c. shunt opening release (MO1)
This allows remote opening control of the apparatus. The release can operate both in direct and alternating current.

d. opening solenoid (MO3)
The opening solenoid is a special demagnetization release, mounted on the right side of the mechanism, and the input control device is installed on the switchgear.

e. shunt closing release (TQ2)
The shunt closing release enables remote control over circuit breaker closing. AC and DC power supply are both workable for the operation. The continuous closing command applied to the closing release can achieve anti-skip function. This electrical characteristic is consistent with the performance of shunt opening release.

f. undervoltage and no-voltage device (MU)
When the secondary control power supply voltage falls below 65% or the power is off, the device will automatically opening the circuit breaker. The release cannot be used as spare opening release.

g. sliding contact (-S4)
Instantaneous sliding contact sends signals temporarily when the circuit breaker is opening. No signal is sent in the case of manual tripping, and mechanical interlock will act on the switches at two positions. In the case of electric opening, mechanical interlock usually acts on switches at frequent opening positions only.
