It is mainly used to distribute electric energy and protect circuits and power-supply
equipment from overload, under-voltage, short-circuit and single-phase earthing. with
intelligentized and selective protection functions, the breaker can improve the reliability
of power supply, and avoid unnecessary power failure. The breaker is applicable for
power stations, factories, mines(for 690V) and modern high-buildings, especially for the

Structure Characteristics of Intelligent Air Circuit Breaker(ACB)
1. Our intelligent air circuit breaker can be of a fixed type and draw-out type. The fixed type air circuit breaker is installed within a special drawer to become a
draw-out type breaker. Our circuit breaker consists of a contact system, and arc-extinguishing system,
operating mechanism, current transformer, intelligent controller and auxiliary switches,
secondary plug and socket, under voltage and shunt releases. The draw-out type air circuit breaker has a holder that is made up of right and left side plates,
base, beams, etc.
2. Contact system
It adopts integrated contact system, including the main contact and arc contact.
The contact is made of high quality material, which does not lead to high temperatures
even when it is breaking short circuit current. The contact system is of parallel connection,
which reduces the electrical-dynamic repulsion force and improves electric steadiness.
The distance between the moving and static contact is much greater than 18mm as
it is required. This is in full compliance with safety requirements.
Note: "Trip" lock device for breaker is optional, the isolating switch is a necessary.
3. Arc-extinguishing chamber
Each pole has an arc-extinguishing chamber, which works to separate and isolate each electrode.
The arc extinguishing chamber is enclosed within the insulating base of the intelligent
air circuit breaker, which enforces the mechanical strength of arc extinguishing chamber
wall and avoids breakage when it is breaking a large short circuit current.
4. Operating mechanism: manual and automatic mechanism
The operating mechanism is located at the front of the intelligent air circuit breaker.
It adopts a five-link, trip free structure.
It is available with energy storage. The breaker can be closed instantly.
The stored energy can be released by a hand-operated button or closing electromagnet. The motor driven mechanism is integrated:
consists of an energy storage shaft and main shaft which are connected with concave
and convex parts. It is easy to assemble or disassemble.
5. Intelligent controller
6. Drawer holder
The drawer holder of our intelligent air circuit breaker consists of right and left guide
rail side plates, base and cross arm. A boosting device and an indicator are fitted to the
base. A static contact auxiliary circuit is installed at the top of the drawer holder.
The bridge type main circuit contacts are safety separated by a plate at the front.
7. Three positions of the breaker in the drawer
--\"ON" position:
Both the main circuit and the auxiliary circuit are connected. The separation plate is open.
--\"Test" position: the main circuit is disconnected. The separation plate is closed.
Only the auxiliary circuit is connected. Tests can be made in this mode.
--\"OFF" position: both the main and the auxiliary circuits are disconnected.
The safe separation plate is closed.
Installation and usage
Installation Unload the breaker from the soleplate of package-box. if it is drawer type, firstly pull out the handle from under the drawer-base of breaker, and plug it into the hole on central section of plastic cover under the
drawer-base crossbeam,
anticlockwise turns the handle, breaker body will slowly slide along the outside of drawer-base. When the guide-rod points to separated position and handle can't be rotated any longer,pull out the handle
and firmly grasp the aluminum handle on drawer-base, pull out the breaker body and remove ift form drawer-base Check the insulation resistance with a 500V megger,
resistance should not be less than 20MQ when ambient temperature is 205 and relative humidity is 50%- 70%.otherwise have it drying. Put the breaker(fixed-type) or drawer-base(drawertype) onto the installation- bracket, and make it fixed, directly connect the bus wire of main circuit to the bus wire of
fixed-type circuit breaker, alternatively put breaker body onto the guild rail of drawer-base.
Plug the place, then connect the bus wire of main circuit to bus wire of drawer-base. wiring the secondary circuit according to electric principle diagram. Note: something
like bolts, nuts.gaskets shouldn't be left inside the drawer-base to avoid being blocked. Usage and operation Check the rated voltage of the following
components whetherconforms to the power voltage or not. such as under voltage release,
shunt releaseclosing electromagnet, motor-driven mechanism and intelligent controller Maintenance Check the technical index on time
or and some lubricating oil., etc. This breaker structure is arranged vertically and
modularized composition with each function=cell separated, which make the maintenance
easy.it has compact structure, reliable operation and strong free maintenance capability.
