What are the structural characteristics of outdoor vacuum recloser?
Vacuum Arc Quenching Chamber: The core component that uses a vacuum environment to extinguish arcs. It offers advantages such as strong breaking capacity, fast dielectric recovery, and long contact life, effectively ensuring the reliability of the equipment when interrupting fault currents.
Insulating Pillars: Typically made from high-strength, weather-resistant insulating materials such as epoxy resin, these pillars provide reliable insulation support for the vacuum arc quenching chamber and other components, ensuring the insulation performance of the equipment in harsh outdoor environments.
Operating Mechanism: Common types include spring-operated mechanisms and permanent magnet-operated mechanisms. Spring-operated mechanisms are simple in structure, highly reliable, and easy to maintain. Permanent magnet-operated mechanisms, on the other hand, offer advantages such as fast action, low energy consumption, and long mechanical life, enabling quick and precise opening and closing operations of the recloser.
Current Transformers and Voltage Transformers: Some reclosers are equipped with current transformers and voltage transformers to measure current and voltage signals in the line. These transformers provide data support for protective devices and control devices, enabling the monitoring and protection functions of the power system.
