MV Circuit Breaker Operating Mechanism
This operating mechanism is designed for medium voltage circuit breakers in ring main units (RMU). It utilizes a CTB spring-type mechanism to ensure reliable and efficient operation.




Technical Specifications
Overview
High-Performance Spring Operating Mechanism
The CTB spring operating mechanism is engineered for reliable use in medium voltage vacuum circuit breakers, including the ZW32-12 outdoor models and equivalent systems. Designed to meet the rigorous requirements of IEC62271-100 standards, this mechanism ensures consistent and safe switching operations. It is available in both manual (CTB-S) and motor-driven (CTB-D) configurations to suit diverse operational needs in electrical distribution environments.
