AI Technical Summary
The leakage current protection module of existing AC circuit breakers affects the discharge of hot air inside the circuit breaker, resulting in a shortened service life.
A leakage protection module is installed at the output terminal of the DC circuit breaker. The partition plate and the housing form an exhaust channel to discharge the hot air, so as to avoid the hot air from affecting the zero-sequence transformer and the conductive unit and extend the service life.
It effectively removes hot airflow from inside the circuit breaker, protects components, and extends the service life of the circuit breaker and leakage protection module.
