Manufacturer: Meidensha Corporation
Model: VCB

Features

Dead Tank Type VCB optimized for green procurement. It uses dry air for insulation in place of the SF6 which is specified as a greenhouse gas. Our basic design concept is to realize the environmental factors in design (The 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle) + LS (Longuse & Separable)) and life-cycle cost (LCC) reduction as basic concepts.
[Reduce] No use of SF6 gas (a greenhouse gas), reduction of eddy current loss by adopting an aluminum tank, reduction of mass by using aluminum materials, and compact design.
[Reuse / Recycle] Reuse of non-rusting and non-corrosive components (reuse of the aluminum and copper materials)
[Long Use] Longer operational life by adopting the VCB
Long operational life without requiring the repair paint work as it uses the aluminum materials
[Separable] Ease of decomposition and collection (no need to collect SF6 gas by collection equipment , no need for SF6 gas reprocessing)

Applications

36/72/84 kV VCB (for Japan Market ) – compliant with the JEC-2300 Standard (for AC circuit breakers).
36/72.5 kV (for overseas markets ) – compliant with IEC 62271-100-2008 and ANSI C37.06-2009.
