The SL-1 Spring Operating Mechanism is a high-reliability operating solution designed for indoor medium-voltage vacuum circuit breakers. It is compatible with VK, VS1 and equivalent VCB types, suitable for both fixed-mounted and withdrawable switchgear panels.
With a compact structure, low closing energy requirement and high transmission efficiency, the SL-1 mechanism significantly reduces operating load while ensuring stable performance, long service life and low operating noise. The product complies with GB1984 (AC High Voltage Circuit Breakers) and relevant IEC standards, making it suitable for global medium-voltage distribution applications.
1. Compact size & low closing energy: Closing energy is approximately 7 kg·m at 31.5 kA breaking capacity
2. High compatibility: Suitable for VK, VS1 and similar indoor VCBs, including fixed and withdrawable switchgear
3. High reliability: Simple mechanical structure, flexible operation, mechanical endurance ≥ 20,000 operations
4. Low maintenance: Maintenance-free or minimal maintenance design with low operating noise
5. Strong adaptability: Supports different phase spacing and solid insulated pole configurations
