Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What voltage classes are available in your indoor vacuum circuit breaker series?
A: Our indoor VCB series covers comprehensive voltage ratings from 10kV, 24kV, and 35kV up to 110kV systems, accommodating various medium and high-voltage grid applications. Please check our product specification table or contact our sales team for precise model selection.

Q2: What is the difference between fixed-type and handcart (withdrawable) indoor VCBs?
A: Handcart-type VCBs are designed for modular switchgear (like KYN28) where the breaker can be easily racked in and out for maintenance and inspection without shutting down the entire busbar. Fixed-type VCBs are bolted directly into the cabinet structure, ideal for specific custom enclosure designs or stationary installations.

Q3: How do indoor vacuum circuit breakers handle short-circuit faults?
A: When a short-circuit fault occurs, the internal protection relays trigger the operating mechanism to pull the contacts apart in a high-vacuum chamber. The vacuum rapidly extinguishes the fault current arc within milliseconds, isolating the faulted section and protecting downstream equipment.

Q4: What routine maintenance is required for Chennuo indoor VCBs?
A: Thanks to the sealed vacuum interrupter design, internal contact maintenance is virtually eliminated. Routine servicing primarily involves periodic external cleaning, checking fastener tightness, lubricating mechanical moving parts, and testing insulation resistance and contact resistance per our technical manual guidelines.
