-
The circuit breaker enclosure is protected by a hot-dip galvanized coating.
-
The circuit breaker is equipped with a hermetically sealed porcelain pole.
-
The design provides for automatic and manual spring charging.
-
The design features of the VB4-P circuit breaker reduce switching overvoltages by means of controlled contact separation according to a predefined contact-opening diagram.
-
The operating mechanism design eliminates rebound of the main contacts.
-
The circuit breaker allows installation of additional shunt trip coils, a direct-acting overcurrent release, and an additional undervoltage release.
-
The energy stored in the spring is sufficient to perform one complete automatic reclosing (AR) cycle.
-
The absence of electronic components and electrolytic capacitors significantly extends the service life of the VB4-P circuit breaker.
-
The control circuit design enables integrity monitoring of closing and tripping circuits with direct supervision of the closing and tripping electromagnets.
-
The circuit breaker provides simple and convenient access to the operating mechanism components and auxiliary contacts.
