One of the critical decisions when designing or upgrading switchgear is choosing between fixed and withdrawable circuit breakers. Each type has its advantages and is suited for different applications. The choice depends on various factors, including reliability, maintenance requirements, operational flexibility, and cost.
As mentioned earlier, fixed switchgear has the disadvantage of being difficult to overhaul when the circuit breaker fails, leading to prolonged power outages. Therefore, withdrawable circuit breakers better meet customer requirements. Is the center-mounted, horizontal draw-out structure the only type available?
At the same time, the circuit breakers inside the fixed low-voltage switchgear are equipped with isolation switches, while the withdrawable low-voltage switchgear is not equipped with isolation switches; The main reason is that the circuit breakers inside the fixed low-voltage switchgear are fixed and installed.
But what exactly are fixed and withdrawable devices? A fixed device, whether modular, moulded case (compact), or air circuit breaker (open), is a piece of equipment that must have its connections disconnected in order to be replaced.
