OverviewZW64-145 vacuum circuit breaker provides three-pole trip, close and fast automatic reclosing operations. It is designed to make and break no-load, load and fault currents. The device uses a vacuum interrupter and supports operation in low-temperature environments down to -40°C. External insulation uses pure N2 enabling a fluorine-free design. Seismic rating AG5. Mechanical life 10,000 operations. Primary and secondary interfaces match existing SF6-filled AC circuit breakers for high interchangeability.
