/ AsG/August 22, 2022 Guangzhou -- Today, in order to meet the needs of new power systems whose main task is to maximize the consumption of new energy sources, the new generation of power equipment is tending to develop new forms to better cope with the trend of smart, low-carbon transformation of the grid. Schneider Electric recently released a new generation of medium voltage intelligent vacuum circuit breaker EvoPacT HVX, is a typical example. As an epoch-making new product, it has both excellent and reliable quality, excellent and sophisticated performance, as well as digital native, modular, green and low-carbon innovative design concepts, can be called an all-around ace product.
As safety and reliability is always the most priority demand in the power industry, "performance is king" is always the gold standard to test a power equipment. So, in the face of the performance assessment of equipment, Schneider Electric EvoPacT HVX medium voltage intelligent vacuum circuit breaker, how does it perform? Let's take a look at them.Excellent material ingenuity quality, provide strong performance guarantee
First of all, determine whether the performance of a circuit breaker is strong, the most essential core lies in the breaking technology and mechanism performance is reliable and strong. In this regard, EvoPacT HVX adopts modular operating mechanism, high-performance vacuum arc quenching chamber and epoxy solid sealing pole, which comprehensively improves the mechanical and electrical life and capacitive breaking ability of the product. From the parameters, clearly reveals the impregnable safety reliability and superior electrical performance of the product:
Full capacity breaking times up to 100
rated current electrical life up to 50,000
Rated current electrical life up to 50,000
Back to back capacitor bank breaking current up to 800A
DC component up to 52%
Mechanical life up to 50,000 < P > China's innovation, fearless of harsh environmental challenges
strong performance, also reflected in EvoPacT HVX strong environmental adaptability, whether it is over a kilometer altitude plateau, or cold snow and ice world and dew environment, it is not difficult to resist this versatile product with strong adaptability:
EvoPacT HVX can adapt to 2300m high altitude, -25℃ low temperature scene and other harsh working conditions requirements
Through the certification of the national Classification Society, but also meet the requirements of the national grid for anti-condensation performance
can have such strong performance, And this circuit breaker in the research and development of "Chinese wisdom" is inseparable. As a new product jointly designed by a global team, the innovative research and development capability invested by the Chinese team played a leading role in the birth of EvoPacT HVX. It is because of the vast and diverse geographical environment and application scenarios in China, so the requirements of this circuit breaker on adaptability, adopt higher than most countries' excellent standards.
It also means that the new product is ready to meet the needs of new power systems with "new energy as the main". It can be predicted that in the face of this macro demand, there will be a large number of distributed new energy applications all over the country in the future. These areas with abundant scenic resources are often located in regions with harsh climatic conditions, such as the high-altitude areas in the west, Inner Mongolia and Northeast China. Even if the product is used indoors, it is difficult to completely eliminate the impact of the environment, and EvoPacT HVX is not afraid of such challenges.
strong performance bearing all-round ability, to meet the needs of the whole industry
very strong performance, the fundamental is to meet the needs of practical applications. Different industries, the circuit breaker requirements of the emphasis is not the same. Therefore, whether it can adapt to the requirements of various industry scenarios as much as possible is also the litmus test of circuit breaker performance.
In this regard, the challenges of petrochemical, steel and other heavy industry scenarios to circuit breakers are a typical example. Compared with the "flat" power distribution demand of ordinary scenes, the scenario of heavy industry means more severe tests in terms of higher operation times and frequencies of circuit breakers and higher capacity, as well as in harsh conditions such as harmful gas and dust environment. EvoPacT HVX can be easily competent with strong high parameter performance, intelligent solution, mechanical anti-jump, remote control and other powerful functions.
Of course, this is just one example of how adaptable EvoPacT HVX is. Relying on different aspects of excellent performance, EvoPacT HVX in different scenarios, are able to meet the needs, flexibility:
Higher full capacity breaking times and higher mechanical life, suitable for the main switch station, power plant, steel plant, port and other load capacity or the occasion of high requirements for operation times
higher DC component, closing capacity, rapid operation and maintenance, Suitable for power plant, hydropower station, main switching station and other occasions
Higher capacitive load breaking capacity, suitable for petroleum and petrochemical, metallurgy, mining and other heavy industry and other need capacitive load switching capacity occasions
advanced intelligent function and support for rapid operation and maintenance characteristics, Can well meet the main switch station, medical, electronics, data centers, airports and other important load occasions with high requirements for power supply continuity
mechanical anti-jump, intelligent remote control and other functions, is especially suitable for the main switch station, new energy, heavy industry and other occasions
< P >< P >< P >< P >< P >< P >< P >< P >< P > In the "performance is king" assessment field, Schneider Electric EvoPacT HVX medium voltage intelligent vacuum circuit breaker not only shows strong performance, but also can take into account the diverse needs of different environments and different industries, really can be called a very reliable all-purpose product. In the future, we expect this new product to play an excellent role in various fields and provide reliable support for the construction of new power systems.
