Product descriptions from the supplier
Product Introduction
The DDX1 Short-Circuit Current Limiter (abbreviated as: Current Limiter) is a high-speed switch with short-circuit current breaking capability. It can completely interrupt the short-circuit current within 10ms after a short-circuit fault occurs, before the instantaneous value of the short-circuit current rises to the expected peak.It integrates fast cutting technology, high-voltage current limiting technology, electronic measurement and control technology, and high-voltage insulation technology. This integration enables rapid current limiting and breaking of short-circuit currents in power generation, distribution, and consumption systems, preventing key power equipment such as generators and transformers from being impacted by catastrophic short-circuit currents.At the same time, it can also optimize the operation mode of the distribution system, achieving the effects of energy conservation and consumption reduction, improving power quality, and enhancing power supply reliability.
Product Features and Benefits
Strong short-circuit breaking ability (large capacity): rated breaking short-circuit current 50kA~200kA.
Fast breaking speed (high speed): full breaking time less than 10ms.
The breaking process has obvious current limiting characteristics (current limiting).
The action criterion adopts the instantaneous value of current and the instantaneous value of current change rate.
The current sensor is integrated with the fast isolator, and the structure is simplified.
The electronic controller works independently in three phases through high temperature and strong interference tests to ensure the overall reliability of the product.

Product Usage
Bypass current limiting reactor (energy saving and consumption reduction, eliminating reactor reactive power, and improving power supply quality).
Parallel operation of segmented buses in large-capacity power distribution system (optimizing load distribution and reducing network impedance).
Short-circuit protection at generator outlet or low voltage side of transformer.
Short-circuit protection for power plant branch buses and plant high variations.
The three-phase electronic controllers have passed high temperature and strong electromagnetic interference tests, working independently to ensure reliable operation under extreme working conditions.
By operating in parallel with segmented busbars, the system impedance is reduced and load distribution is optimized; Quickly isolate during faults to reduce the scope of power outages.
This series supports multiple specifications ranging from 630A to 6300A, and can be selected according to project requirements to meet different load requirements from the feeder to the low-voltage side of the main transformer.

Why Do Substations Use Stones, Gravel, Pebbles, and Crushed Rock?Why Do Substations Use Stones, Gravel, Pebbles, and Crushed Rock?In substations, equipment such as power and distribution transformers, transmission lines, voltage transformers, current transformers, and disconnect switches all require grounding. Beyond grounding, we will now explore in depth why gravel and crushed stone are commonly used in substations. Though they appear ordinary, these stones play a critical safety and functional role.In substation grounding design—especially when multiple gr01/29/2026 -
Why Must a Transformer Core Be Grounded at Only One Point? Isn't Multi-Point Grounding More Reliable?Why Does the Transformer Core Need to Be Grounded?During operation, the transformer core, along with the metal structures, parts, and components that fix the core and windings, are all situated in a strong electric field. Under the influence of this electric field, they acquire a relatively high potential with respect to ground. If the core is not grounded, a potential difference will exist between the core and the grounded clamping structures and tank, which may lead to intermittent discharge.I01/29/2026 -
