ASKW1 Air Circuit Breaker(ACB)

Product Overview

The ASKW1 series intelligent Air Circuit Breaker (ACB) is a cutting-edge solution engineered for low-voltage power distribution networks. Operating at AC 50Hz/60Hz with a rated voltage up to 690V and a rated current range of 630A to 6300A, it serves as a critical component for safe and efficient power distribution.

Designed to protect circuits and power equipment from overload, undervoltage, short-circuit, and single-phase grounding faults, the ASKW1 ACB integrates advanced intelligent protection and isolation functions. Its precise selective protection minimizes unnecessary power outages, significantly enhancing overall power supply reliability—a key advantage for industrial and commercial applications.

Equipped with an H-type controller featuring an open communication interface, the ASKW1 enables remote measurement, signaling, control, and adjustment. This compatibility with automated systems makes it ideal for modern smart grids and centralized control setups. The product complies with the IEC60947-2 standard, ensuring global safety and performance benchmarks.

Features

Innovative Closing Failure Protection Mechanism

A proprietary technology with a software registration certificate and national invention patent, this feature boosts operational reliability. Powered by a high-precision MCU microprocessor with millisecond-level response speed and strong anti-interference capability, it acts as a bypass unit without disrupting the main switch’s operation—reducing downtime and enhancing system stability.

Foreign Object Prevention Isolation Mesh

The ASKW1 ACB incorporates a metal perforated isolation mesh in its busbar cooling grilles. This design effectively blocks foreign objects from entering the breaker while maintaining optimal heat dissipation. It not only elevates operational safety but also meets stringent high-level protection standards, making it suitable for harsh environments.

Drawer Base Position Feedback Terminal

Equipped with dedicated position status feedback terminals, the ASKW1 relays the drawer base’s disconnected, test, and connected positions to intelligent backend systems. Installed on the product’s side without occupying auxiliary contact terminal blocks, this feature aligns with IoT requirements for low-voltage distribution equipment, supporting smart monitoring and remote management.

High-Performance Arc Extinguishing Chamber

Crafted from specialized insulating materials and optimized using computer-simulated arc-splitting grid angles, the arc extinguishing chamber ensures rapid arc extinction and dissipation upon entry—creating a zero arc-flash zone. Housed within an insulating base, it enhances mechanical strength, preventing rupture during high-current short circuits and maximizing safety.

High-grade components

The arc extinguishing chamber made of special insulating material, according to the computer simulation data to set the angle of the flame extinguishing grid, so that the arc upward into the arc extinguishing  chamber quickly extinguished  and free, realizing the zero flying arc area,the arc extinguishing chamber is placed in the insulating base of  the circuit breaker, which strengthens the mechanical strength of the arc extinguishing chamber and prevents  it from blowing up during the breaking of the high-current short-circuit, and improves the safety of the product.

Uses:

Fast arc extinguishing

Features:

Computer simulation design, more closely match the actual state.

FAQ

· Can you provide controllers with communication capabilities?

Of course, you can choose the H-type controller, which has RS485 communication and features remote control, remote communication, remote adjustment, and remote measurement functions.

· What certifications does this ACB product have?

This product has the following certifications: CE, TUV, RoHS, CB, and 3C mandatory certification.

· What could be the reason why a circuit breaker cannot be manually disconnected?

There are two possible reasons: First, the operating mechanism may be malfunctioning; check if anything is stuck in the operating mechanism. Second, the adjusting screw on the release half-shaft may not be properly adjusted; the position of the adjusting screw needs to be adjusted.
