GYW3 DC air circuit breakers are used in high-current DC distribution systems where reliable isolation, fault interruption and equipment protection are required. The series covers GYW3-2500 and GYW3-4000 frame sizes, with multi-pole DC voltage configurations and fixed or draw-out installation options.
Key Features
- Designed for DC circuit protection and switching in high-current distribution applications.
- Arc-extinguishing chamber and contact-system design support high breaking capacity.
- Optimized contact structure and operating mechanism for improved electrical life and mechanical reliability.
- High-strength insulating material is used for impact strength and insulation performance.
- Compact phase spacing and built-in shunt help reduce complete cabinet size.
- Safety devices include draw-out door interlock, three-position locking device, OFF-position key lock, terminal shield and closing-ready device.
