Vacuum Circuit Breakers & Load Break Switches

Vacuum Breakers & Load Break Switches

Vacuum circuit breakers and load-break switches are matched to the host switchgear, operating duty, interlocking scheme and protection requirements. Exact mounting dimensions, mechanism, auxiliary contacts and ratings require drawing confirmation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I select between a VCB and load-break switch?

A VCB is normally selected where fault-current interruption and protection duties are required. A load-break switch is used for load switching and isolation; transformer feeders may use a coordinated switch-fuse combination.

What information is needed to match a replacement breaker?

Provide nameplate data, voltage, current, breaking current, control voltage, installation type, pole pitch, contact dimensions, mechanism and clear photos or drawings of the existing interface.

Can the operating mechanism be motorized?

Motorized operation and auxiliary contacts can be evaluated according to the control philosophy and approved interface.

Can Qiangchi support OEM, panel-builder and EPC requirements?

Yes. Project-specific interface coordination, drawings, technical submittals, branding and inspection requirements can be discussed for the confirmed scope.
