D165T Pole-Mounted Circuit Breaker Enhances Safety for Outdoor Low-Voltage Distribution Networks

2025-11-07

In a significant boost for the safety and reliability of outdoor low-voltage power distribution, the D165T Low-Voltage Pole-Mounted Circuit Breaker has been launched. This innovative 4-pole Molded Case Circuit Breaker (MCCB) is specifically engineered to protect pole-mounted transformers and overhead lines from common electrical faults. With a robust design built for harsh outdoor environments, the D165T offers utilities and power distributors a critical line of defense, ensuring continuous power supply and protecting valuable infrastructure.

 Advanced Protection for Critical Assets

Digital Trip Unit

At the heart of the D165T's protective capabilities is its state-of-the-art Digital Trip Unit. Unlike traditional thermal-magnetic units, this advanced system uses embedded current transformers and sophisticated electronics to provide precise protection. It is fully configurable to safeguard 50 kVA, 100 kVA, or 160 kVA transformers, allowing users to match the protection settings directly to their specific transformer's capacity. This unit ensures compliance with strict industry response times for both instantaneous short-circuits and accumulated overloads, preventing transformer damage from excessive heat and fault currents.

 Robust Construction and User-Friendly Features

Component

The D165T is built to last. Its housing is constructed from weather-resistant, glass-fiber reinforced plastic, achieving an IP31 protection rating to withstand dust and moisture. A key user-friendly feature is its unique wiring clamp design, which allows for the direct connection of the transformer's low-voltage side or other four-phase power sources without the need for pre-crimping lugs, saving significant installation time and effort. Furthermore, the arc chute grid is designed for easy replacement, extending the product's service life and simplifying maintenance in the field.

 Clear Operation and Reliable Tripping Mechanism

Operational safety and clarity are paramount. The breaker features a highly visible green position indicator that clearly shows whether the unit is open or closed. Its spring-charged closing mechanism is trip-free, meaning it cannot be held closed against a fault. The breaker can be conveniently operated using a floor-mounted handle. An integrated load indicator includes an enable/disable handle, and its trip function is visually signaled by the drop of an orange component, providing a clear, mechanical indication of an overload trip event.

 Ideal for Outdoor and Utility Applications

With an operational temperature range of -25°C to 50°C and a pole-mounting design, the D165T is the ideal solution for utility companies and municipalities managing overhead low-voltage networks. Its rated specifications—440V, 165A, and a breaking capacity of up to 6800A—make it a robust and reliable choice for protecting distribution transformers from the damaging effects of overloads, short-circuits, and phase imbalances, ultimately leading to a more resilient electrical grid.
