Product Overview

GPVN-40.5kV indoor vacuum circuit breaker is designed and produced in collaboration with Xi'an High-voltage Electric Apparatus Institute. The VCB is rated at 40.5kV, three-phase AC 50/60Hz, for protection and control in mining firms, power houses, and substations. It is also applicable in occasions with frequent operation.

Insulating Sleeve Type (GPVN-40.5)

Standard configuration with insulating sleeve pole. Compatible with GreenPower GPN1-40.5kV and major international brand metal-clad switchgear including VD4/HD4 type cabinets.

Embedded Pole Type (GPVN-40.5E)

Solid-insulated embedded pole configuration. Compact design with higher insulation reliability for space-constrained 40.5kV installations.

Key Features

Upper Chamber Lower Mechanism

Arc-extinguishing chamber on top, operating mechanism below, enabling easy debugging and maintenance.

High-Performance Arc-Extinguishing

Compatible with Cutler-Hammer (USA) and ZMD vacuum chambers; vertical magnetic field ensures reliable switching.

Low-Maintenance Spring Mechanism
