Evolution of circuit breaker
• Optimisation of the breaking chamber
>> more efficient use of the arc energy
• Increased breaking performances
• Reduced spring operating mechanism energy
>> increased reliability of the circuit-breaker
• Application of the IEC standard for circuit-breakers
>> New IEC62271-100
• Reduced installation and commissioning time
• Reduced maintenance equipment
