Key Products/TechnologiesKeyProducts/Technologies
Air Circuit Breaker (ACB, Model: KD05 Series): Fixed, draw-out, and detachable types. Enhanced operational reliability through digital overcurrent relays with high-precision A/D conversion circuits. Features LED displays for load status and current values, facilitating self-performance testing. Achieves 85% reduction in size and weight, with simplified external dimensions (from 4 to 3 types: 630~1600A, 2000~2500A, 3200~4000A) for improved efficiency. The detachable type incorporates a TMS CHIP (microcomputer) for automatic display of three-phase voltage, current, frequency, power factor, and active/reactive power.AirCircuitBreaker(ACB,Model:KD05Series):Fixed,draw-out,anddetachabletypes.Enhancedoperationalreliabilitythroughdigitalovercurrentrelayswithhigh-precisionA/Dconversioncircuits.FeaturesLEDdisplaysforloadstatusandcurrentvalues,facilitatingself-performancetesting.Achieves85%reductioninsizeandweight,withsimplifiedexternaldimensions(from4to3types:630~1600A,2000~2500A,3200~4000A)forimprovedefficiency.ThedetachabletypeincorporatesaTMSCHIP(microcomputer)forautomaticdisplayofthree-phasevoltage,current,frequency,powerfactor,andactive/reactivepower.
Auto Transfer Switches (ATS, Models: ATS 100~400A, ATS 600~3200A): The 100~400A models offer reliable transfer with excellent latching action, maximum conduction with minimum operating current, outstanding opening/closing performance, and compact, lightweight design. The 600~3200A models feature a completely independent molded structure for each phase, significantly reducing external dimensions. Designed with a trip device allowing a neutral (OFF) position, enabling transfer only after confirming load stability and safety.AutoTransferSwitches(ATS,Models:ATS100~400A,ATS600~3200A):The100~400Amodelsofferreliabletransferwithexcellentlatchingaction,maximumconductionwithminimumoperatingcurrent,outstandingopening/closingperformance,andcompact,lightweightdesign.The600~3200Amodelsfeatureacompletelyindependentmoldedstructureforeachphase,significantlyreducingexternaldimensions.Designedwithatripdeviceallowinganeutral(OFF)position,enablingtransferonlyafterconfirmingloadstabilityandsafety.
Air Insulated Auto Sectionalizing Switches (AISS, Model: AISS): The first indoor type developed in Korea, registered under the brand name AISS. The Combination AISS (integrated type) utilizes a patented CT support insulator, combining a current-limiting fuse and lightning arrester for effective package panel production. The general type is installed at customer receiving points (on 22.9kV-y distribution lines) to automatically isolate fault sections, minimizing outage damage. Specifications include a rated voltage of 25.8kV, rated breaking current of 900A, and rated current of 200A.AirInsulatedAutoSectionalizingSwitches(AISS,Model:AISS):ThefirstindoortypedevelopedinKorea,registeredunderthebrandnameAISS.TheCombinationAISS(integratedtype)utilizesapatentedCTsupportinsulator,combiningacurrent-limitingfuseandlightningarresterforeffectivepackagepanelproduction.Thegeneraltypeisinstalledatcustomerreceivingpoints(on22.9kV-ydistributionlines)toautomaticallyisolatefaultsections,minimizingoutagedamage.Specificationsincludearatedvoltageof25.8kV,ratedbreakingcurrentof900A,andratedcurrentof200A.
