Name：ZW32 Circuit Breaker on External Capacitor Post

Product overview

ZW32 series primary and secondary fused on-column circuit breakers are key equipment in intelligent distribution network, which integrate traditional circuit breakers and intelligent monitoring and protection functions, and are suitable for fault isolation, load control and condition monitoring of 12kV distribution lines. ZW32 primary and secondary fusion circuit breaker has significantly improved the level of distribution automation through modular design, and is the mainstream choice for current distribution network transformation. In practical application, it is necessary to customize the protection setting according to the line parameters (such as short-circuit capacity and load characteristics).

Core characteristics

Primary and secondary deep fusion

The primary switch (circuit breaker) is highly integrated with the secondary intelligent terminal (FTU), and the integrated design of current/voltage sampling, protection control and communication is realized through standardized interfaces (such as aviation plugs), which reduces external wiring and improves reliability.

Typical configuration: Built-in high-precision Rogowski coil/electronic transformer replaces the traditional electromagnetic transformer.

Intelligent function

Fault detection: Support quick identification (≤100ms) of short circuit, overcurrent and grounding fault (low current line selection), with automatic reclosing (up to 3 times).

Remote control: communicate with the main station through 4G/ optical fiber/wireless private network to realize remote control on-off and off, and switch the setting area.

Condition monitoring: collect data such as current, voltage, power and cable head temperature in real time, and support partial discharge detection (optional).

High reliability design

Arc extinguishing mode: vacuum arc extinguishing chamber (interrupting capacity 20kA-25kA) is adopted, which is oil-free and environment-friendly, with a service life of ≥10,000 mechanical operations.

Protection grade: IP67 (outdoor dustproof and waterproof), operating at a wide temperature of -40℃~+70℃.

Structural composition

Primary part

Circuit breaker body: vacuum interrupter, insulating cylinder (epoxy resin casting) and spring operating mechanism.

High-voltage components: silicone rubber sleeve, cable connection terminal (expandable lightning arrester).

Power module: PT power or lithium battery backup (no external scene).

Secondary part

Intelligent controller: embedded CPU, supporting IEC 61850, DL/T 634.5104 and other protocols.

Sensor

Current: 0.2-level accuracy, ranging from 0 to 0～2000A a.

Voltage: capacitor voltage division or resistor voltage division, 0.5-level accuracy.

Communication module: supports LoRa, HPLC or optical fiber communication.

Functional advantage

Fast fault isolation

Cooperate with the distribution automation master station to realize the automatic location and isolation of fault sections (FA function), and the recovery time of non-fault sections is less than 1 minute.

Energy saving and loss reduction

Monitor line load in real time, optimize network reconfiguration and reduce line loss.

Maintenance-free design

Fully sealed structure, oil-free design, reducing operation and maintenance frequency.

Compatibility

Can access the third-party SCADA system and support linkage with DTU and fault indicator.

Typical application scenarios

Urban distribution network: sectional protection of cable/overhead hybrid lines.

Rural power grid: Long-line faults can be isolated quickly, reducing the power outage range.

New energy access: photovoltaic/wind power grid protection to prevent islanding effect.

Industrial Park: Multi-level protection cooperation in load-intensive areas.

Matters needing attention in type selection

Grounding mode adaptation: Zero-sequence current protection is required for neutral ungrounded/grounded system via arc suppression coil.

Communication scheme: It is recommended to choose a wireless private network (such as 230MHz) in remote areas.

Extended function: If power quality monitoring (harmonics, voltage sag) is required, advanced analysis module is required.

Key points of operation and maintenance

Regular inspection: check the lubrication and bolt fastening status of the mechanism.

Data verification: calibrate the sensor accuracy once a year.

Software upgrade: regularly update the protection logic algorithm (remote or local).
