17
The VS1 vacuum circuit breaker (VCB)is one of the most widely used and trusted medium-voltage (MV) switchgear solutionsglobally, renowned for its reliability, compact design, and exceptional arc-quenching performance. Developed primarily by Chinese manufacturers like Zhuzhou CSR Times Electricand adopted by global switchgear producers, the VS1 VCB is a workhorse for industrial, utility, and infrastructure applications.
This article explores the technical specifications, advantages, applications, and why the VS1 VCB remains a top choice for power system protection. We also highlight how Degatech Electricprovides high-quality VS1 VCBs with global certifications.

I. What is the VS1 Vacuum Circuit Breaker?

The VS1 VCBis a spring-operated, indoor-type vacuum circuit breakerdesigned for medium-voltage applications (12kV–40.5kV). It features:
✔ Vacuum interrupter technologyfor fast and reliable arc extinction.
✔ Spring mechanismfor consistent and durable operation.
✔ Compact and modular designfor easy installation in switchgear panels.

Key Specifications:

  • Voltage Range:12kV, 24kV, 36kV, 40.5kV
  • Breaking Capacity:20kA, 25kA, 31.5kA, 40kA
  • Mechanical Life:10,000–20,000 operations
  • Electrical Life:30,000–50,000 operations (depending on load)
  • Operating Mechanism:Spring-stored energy

II. Why VS1 VCBs Are Preferred Worldwide

1. Superior Arc Quenching in Vacuum

  • No risk of fire or explosion(unlike oil or SF₆ breakers).
  • Instantaneous arc extinction(microseconds response time).

2. High Reliability & Long Service Life

  • Minimal maintenance(no contact erosion in vacuum).
  • Up to 30,000 mechanical operationsbefore major servicing.

3. Compact & Space-Saving Design

  • Ideal for urban substations & industrial switchgear panels.
  • Easier installation & maintenancecompared to bulkier breakers.

4. Cost-Effective & Efficient

  • Lower total cost of ownership (TCO)than SF₆ or oil breakers.
  • Energy-efficient operationwith minimal losses.

5. Global Certifications & Compliance

  • IEC 62271-100, GB 1984, ANSI C37.06, DL/T 403.
  • Certified for global markets (Europe, Middle East, Asia, Americas).

III. Applications of VS1 VCBs

1. Industrial Power Distribution

  • Factories, mining, and manufacturing plants.
  • Protecting motors, transformers, and switchgear.

2. Utility Substations (12kV–40.5kV)

  • Distribution networks in cities & industrial zones.
  • Replacing aging oil or air breakers.

3. Renewable Energy Systems

4. Commercial & Data Centers

  • Reliable power protection for critical IT infrastructure.

5. Marine & Offshore Platforms

  • Compact, explosion-proof designs.
