Product Overview
ZW32-12MG/630 is a 12 kV, three-phase 50 Hz permanent-magnet outdoor vacuum circuit breaker for opening and closing load, overload, and short-circuit currents. It is used in substations, industrial and mining distribution systems, and rural networks requiring frequent outdoor switching.
Its compact, lightweight construction is designed for resistance to condensation and reduced maintenance in demanding climates and polluted environments. The permanent-magnet operating mechanism provides holding force in both open and closed positions, reducing mechanical parts and shortening the transmission chain to support operating reliability and mechanical life.
Utilities, EPC contractors, electrical distributors, and project buyers should provide the short-circuit level, control and protection requirements, pole arrangement, service conditions, quantity, and destination. CANGO reviews the required measurement and protection control box, accessories, and installation drawing before quotation.
