The invention discloses a novel intelligent AC 
metal closed switching device, which comprises a shell, a cable and a medium-
voltage AC vacuum 
circuit breaker, wherein the cable and the medium-
voltage AC vacuum 
circuit breaker are arranged in the shell and mutually connected, the medium-
voltage AC vacuum 
circuit breaker comprises a circuit breaker body and a front-mounted device which are connected through an 
optical fiber, a medium-voltage 
current sensor is embedded in the circuit breaker body, the front-mounted device is arranged on the shell, the front-mounted device comprises a controller, a comprehensive protection measurement and control device, an 
electric energy meter, a switch cabinet comprehensive indicator, a screen element, a 
wireless transmitting and receiving unit and a Beidou 
chip which are mutually connected, and the controller is connected with a temperature 
detector, a 
humidity detector, a heater, a cabinet isolation measurement and control device, a fan, a cabinet door monitor and a live detection device. According to the invention, the medium-voltage 
current sensor is embedded in the circuit breaker body, and 
electrical isolation of the circuit breaker body and the front-mounted device is realized, so that the design is modularized, the assemble difficulty is reduced, the number of failure points is small, and the 
failure rate is low.
