LIVE TANK CIRCUIT BREAKERS

EconiQ™ Live Tank Circuit Breaker – LTA

Live Tank Circuit Breaker EDF SK 1-1 up to 72.5 kV

The eco-efficient Live Tank Circuit Breaker LTA, utilizes a game-changing technology as an alternative to SF6.

Well proven circuit breaker based on established design, assembled and tested for rapid installation

The EconiQ LTA breaker uses the same technology as the well-proven Hitachi Energy’s SF6 Live Tank Circuit Breaker product range. It’s providing our customers with the highest reliability and the same product footprint while lowering the environmental impact.

EconiQ LTA is operating with an eco-efficient CO2-based gas mixture, which significantly reduce the CO2 equivalent emissions of the insulation medium compared to SF6 gas. The eco-efficient LTA is also available as a Disconnecting Circuit Breaker.

EconiQ is Hitachi Energy’s eco-efficient portfolio for sustainability where products, services and solutions are proven to deliver exceptional environmental performance.

The EDF SK is a live tank SF6 Auto-Puffer™ circuit breaker. It has a proven design and long performance in a vast range of environments and ambient conditions with an installed base in over 80 countries. The EDF breaker is type-tested to stringent conditions as per the IEC standard for high voltage circuit breakers, IEC 62271-100.

Live Tank Circuit Breaker LTB E up to 800 kV

Well proven circuit breaker based on modular design, factory assembled and tested for rapid installations

World’s most versatile transmission breaker

The EDF SK is a live tank SF6 AutopufferTM circuit breaker. It has a proven design and long performance in a vast range of environments and ambient conditions with an installed base in over 80 countries. The EDF breaker is type-tested to stringent conditions as per the latest IEC standard for high voltage circuit breakers, IEC 62271-100. 

LTB E is suitable for breaking currents up to 63 kA for maximum power system stability at rated voltage up to 800 kV. It is configurable for all applications and environments.

The installation and commissioning are fast and simple. It is proven in extreme locations, including deserts, the tropics and cold climates, withstanding natural disasters from hurricanes to major earthquakes. 

LTB E is designed and type-tested in accordance with international standards (IEC, ANSI and others). Also tested to national standards (GOST, DL and DIN).

Live Tank Circuit Breaker LTB D 72.5 – 170 kV

Live Tank Circuit Breaker HPL B up to 1100 kV

Protecting more networks than any other high-voltage breaker

Maximum capability and highest performance

The LTB D is suitable for breaking current up to 40 kA, with fast interruption for maximum power system stability. It is configurable for all applications and environments. 
 
The LTB D is designed and type tested in accordance with international standards IEC and IEEE. 

LTB D is also available as a Disconnecting Circuit Breaker where the disconnecting function is integrated in the breaker.

This robust breaker delivers reliably in the most extreme conditions. With the highest ratings in the industry, the breaker is most suitable for applications requiring high short-circuit currents and for HVDC. HPL B can handle 63 kA without the need for grading capacitors and 80 kA with only two breaking elements. 
 
The mechanically robust design gives the HPL B the ability to withstand high seismic forces, which makes it ideal for earthquake-prone areas. It is also a suitable solution for harsh conditions, such as extreme temperatures and high altitudes. 
 
The product has a proven lifetime exceeding 30 years and meets M2 mechanical class for 10,000 operations. HPL B is designed and type tested in accordance with international standards IEC and ANSI is also tested to national standards such as GOST, DL, DIN.  
 
HPL B is available up to 1100 kV as a circuit breaker and up to 550 kV as a disconnecting circuit breaker, where the disconnecting circuit is integrated into the breaker.
