Product Overview
The ZN12-40.5 series is an indoor high-voltage vacuum circuit breaker designed for three-phase AC 50Hz systems with a rated voltage of 40.5kV. Incorporating technology introduced from Siemens AG, Germany, it delivers high power performance and exceptional reliability for frequent operation and important load switching.
The breaker serves as the main switching device compatible with switchgear series like XGN17-40.5, KYN1-35, and GBC-35. It features a spring-energy storage operating mechanism (charged via AC/DC or manual) and is available in both removable truck and fixed-mounted configurations.
