RHB-252kV outdoor self-energy SF₆ live tank circuit breaker is developed for 252kV, 50Hz AC three-phase power grid, used for grid connection, circuit switching as well as overload & short-circuit protection of transmission lines and transformer stations.
Adopting SF₆ as insulating & arc-quenching medium, it is equipped with self-blast double-action interrupter and optimized spring operating mechanism.
Featuring outstanding breaking performance, low operating energy consumption, low running noise and high operational stability, all technical parameters comply with IEC & GB standards.
The whole set applies three-phase post porcelain insulator layout with one shared spring mechanism for triple-pole mechanical linkage.
This integrated linkage design simplifies mechanical structure, improves synchronous operation accuracy of three poles and avoids independent single-pole malfunction effectively.

ABB’s high-voltage live-tank vacuum breakers are reliable but costly with long lead times. Hitachi Energy is mature yet lacks local high-voltage track records and smart features. Schneider Electric excels in 40.5kV distribution but is limited in voltage range and extreme performance. In contrast, Rockwill offers up to 363kV SF₆-free vacuum solutions with fast local service and spare parts delivery. Featuring robust mechanisms, full smart functions, and superior resistance to extreme cold, heavy salt fog, and short-circuit currents, our breakers ensure long maintenance-free service and lower LCC.
Q:Can Rockwill custom-engineer or modify Live tank Vacuum circuit breaker specifications to meet project-specific requirements?
A:
Rockwill provides comprehensive customized design and parameter modification for live tank vacuum circuit breakers to meet diverse project requirements. Backed by our professional R&D team, we flexibly adjust product structures, technical parameters and environmental adaptability, delivering exclusive tailored solutions in line with various on-site conditions and project standards.
In a live tank breaker, the arc chamber is mounted at the top or side of the column, exposed to ambient air. In a dead tank breaker, the arc chamber is placed inside the metal tank, fully sealed.
