High Tension (HT) Breakers

High Tension (HT) Breakers: Advanced Protection for High-Voltage Systems

What are High Tension (HT) Breakers?

High Tension (HT) Breakers are essential components for protecting electrical systems operating at high voltages. These breakers are designed to interrupt the flow of electricity in case of faults, ensuring the safety of equipment and personnel. HT breakers are used in power plants, industrial setups, and power distribution systems, where high voltage circuits require reliable and swift protection against overloads, short circuits, and other electrical faults.

Key Features of High Tension (HT) Breakers

  1. Reliable Fault Protection: Instantly disconnects the circuit during faults to protect equipment and ensure safety.
  2. High Voltage Handling: Designed to operate effectively in high-voltage environments.
  3. Fast Response Time: Quick tripping mechanism to prevent any damage to the system during faults.
  4. Durability: Built to withstand extreme electrical stresses, ensuring a long service life.
  5. Safety Features: Equipped with features like arc suppression to reduce hazards during operation.

Types of High Tension (HT) Breakers

Breaker TypeDescriptionUse Case
ACB (Air Circuit Breakers)Used to interrupt the current in high-voltage circuits, typically found in electrical substations.Commonly used in power plants and industrial installations for system protection.
VCB (Vacuum Circuit Breakers)Uses a vacuum to extinguish the arc formed when interrupting current.Ideal for protecting electrical systems with high reliability and quick response times.
SF6 (Sulfur Hexafluoride Circuit Breakers)Uses SF6 gas to suppress the arc during current interruption.Widely used in substations, power plants, and other high-voltage environments.
Oil Circuit Breakers (OCBs)Utilizes oil for arc quenching during fault conditions.Typically used in medium to high voltage applications in power distribution networks.
Hybrid Circuit BreakersCombines multiple technologies, like vacuum and SF6, for enhanced performance and reliability.Often used in high-capacity industrial setups requiring the best protection.
