When do you need to use the Timetric Electric Plateau VS1 vacuum circuit breaker?

Generally, when the altitude of the equipment installation site exceeds 1000 meters, it is necessary to consider using Timetric Electric plateau type VS1 vacuum circuit breakers. Specifically, the higher the altitude, the higher the insulation performance and design requirements for the circuit breaker. For example, in areas with an altitude of more than 2400 meters, the use of Timetric Electric ordinary VS1 circuit breakers may not meet the requirements of safety and reliability, and plateau type circuit breakers are required at this time.

Summary

Understanding the concepts of altitude and plateau helps us distinguish between ordinary VS1 circuit breakers and plateau type VS1 circuit breakers. In areas with higher altitudes, due to the thin air and large temperature changes, plateau type circuit breakers have higher insulation performance and design adaptability to ensure the safety and stability of the power system. Generally, altitudes above 2400 meters are considered high altitude areas, and it is necessary to use plateau type VS1 vacuum circuit breakers in these areas.
