HJ-VCB Series Indoor Vacuum Circuit Breaker

Up to 40.5kV / Embedded Pole Tech / Magnetic Actuator

The HJ-VCB Series Indoor Vacuum Circuit Breaker is the ultra-reliable “heart” of medium-voltage power distribution. Designed to seamlessly integrate into metal-clad switchgear, this comprehensive series offers cutting-edge technologies including Embedded Poles (solid-sealed), Permanent Magnetic Actuators, and highly compact lateral-mounted designs. It delivers unparalleled short-circuit breaking capabilities and a virtually maintenance-free lifespan for the world’s most demanding grids.

 

Ideal for Switchgear Integration & Heavy Loads:

  • ✓ Primary Substations & Power Generation Plants
  • ✓ Metal-Clad Switchgear OEMs (KYN28 / KYN61 compatible)
  • ✓ High-Frequency Operation Facilities (Furnaces, Railways)
  • ✓ Extreme Humidity or Highly Polluted Industrial Sites
Description
Core Advantages
Model Selection & Specs

1. Advanced Embedded Pole Technology (EP)

For extreme environmental resilience, our premium models utilize APG (Automatic Pressure Gelation) technology to cast the vacuum interrupter directly into an epoxy resin cylinder. This "Solid-Sealed" architecture completely protects the interrupter from dust, condensation, and external impacts, vastly reducing maintenance requirements and ensuring absolute dielectric strength.

2. Permanent Magnetic Actuator (High Frequency)

Standard VCBs utilize motor-charged spring mechanisms, which are highly reliable. However, for applications requiring extremely frequent switching, our Magnetic Actuator variant provides a revolutionary upgrade. By drastically reducing moving parts, it achieves an ultra-fast response and extends the mechanical endurance to an astonishing 100,000 operations without traditional wear and tear.

3. Versatile Mounting: Withdrawable, Fixed & Lateral

We provide unmatched flexibility for switchgear designers. Choose from standard withdrawable handcarts for quick maintenance, robust fixed-mounted types for stable installations, or specialized Lateral (Side-Mounted) VCBs. The lateral design significantly reduces panel depth, making it the perfect solution for compact substations and ring main units (RMU).

4. Full Spectrum 12kV to 40.5kV Coverage

From standard 12kV and 24kV distribution nodes to heavy-duty 40.5kV primary substations, the HJ-VCB series scales with your project. The 40.5kV high-clearance models are engineered with superior thermal capacity and robust insulation barriers, confidently handling massive fault currents up to 31.5kA in critical utility networks.

Global Factory Acceptance & Turnkey Support

Every HJ-VCB unit undergoes rigorous factory testing, including X-ray inspections for embedded poles, mechanical run-in tests, and precise contact resistance measurements. We supply fully interchangeable breaker trucks with standardized interlocking pin-outs, ensuring flawless plug-and-play integration for global switchgear manufacturers and EPCs.
