Our own vision of DC switchgear allowed PLUTON experts to create a conceptually new design characterized by compact size, maintainability, operational reliability and personnel safety.
Specific features:
application of AFB® arc-free ultra high-speed DC circuit breaker with innovative principle of power circuit opening in vacuum allows using half the size of work space in comparison with standard circuit breaker;
uni- or bilateral maintenance, as well as free access to units and components, located in the upper part of the device;
built-in microprocessor traction network monitoring and protection system SMTN-3/SOTA®;
well-thought-out ventilation system and IP 33 protection level provide well-balanced thermal operation mode.
Additional benefits:
high assurance of personnel safety due to electromechanical interlockings and protections;
intelligent control, protection and diagnostics system;
compliance with EN 50123-1/IEC 61992-1, EN 50123-6/IEC 60992-6 international standards.
AFB® arc-free ultra high-speed circuit breaker with improved operational characteristics is applied in DC switchgear:
no open arc;
lowest maintenance;
high wear resistance and long lifetime;
high-speed contacts opening system;
minimum tripping time;
equipped with control and internal monitoring system;
protection functions: Imax protection and di/dt protection.
