    Frequently Asked Questions

    Q
    What is the rated voltage of the HWX-12 Outdoor Ring Main Unit?
    A
    The HWX-12 Outdoor Ring Main Unit supports a rated voltage of 12/24 kV across all unit types — including the C-Load Switch Unit, F-Combined Apparatus Unit, and V-Circuit Breaker Unit — making it suitable for medium-voltage distribution networks.
    Q
    What is the IP protection level of the HWX-12 Outdoor Ring Main Unit?
    A
    The unit offers multiple protection levels: the cabinet and fuse compartment achieves IP67, the cabinet enclosure is rated IP41, and the overall outdoor ring main unit is rated IP44W, ensuring reliable protection against dust, water, and harsh outdoor environments.
    Q
    What type of insulating gas is used in the F-Combined Apparatus Unit, and what is its leakage rate?
    A
    The F-Combined Apparatus Unit uses SF6 gas as the insulating medium, with an absolute pressure of 0.035 MPa at 20℃. The yearly leakage rate is strictly controlled to ≤0.025% per year, ensuring long-term insulation reliability and environmental safety.
    Q
    What is the mechanical life of the load/isolation switch in the HWX-12 unit?
    A
    The mechanical life of the load/isolation switch varies by unit type: the C-Load Switch Unit and V-Circuit Breaker Unit are rated for 3,000 operations, while the F-Combined Apparatus Unit is rated for 5,000 operations, reflecting its higher operational durability.
    Q
    What are the short-circuit withstand capabilities of the HWX-12 Outdoor Ring Main Unit?
    A
    All three unit types feature a rated short-time withstand current of 20 kA (for both main circuit and grounding switch), a rated peak withstand current of 50 kA, and a rated short-time duration of 4 seconds, ensuring robust performance under fault conditions.
    Q
    Does the HWX-12 Outdoor Ring Main Unit support internal arc testing?
    A
    Yes. The HWX-12 has passed internal arc testing (Internal Arcing Test). The C-Load Switch Unit and V-Circuit Breaker Unit are tested at 630 A, while the F-Combined Apparatus Unit is tested at 20 kA for 0.5 seconds, confirming its safety under internal arc fault scenarios.
