2. Main uses
HXGN-12
Applicable to ring network power supply system and terminal power distribution
Mainly used for load switching, with low short-circuit protection capability (usually 20kA)
Commonly used in distribution rooms, box transformers, and switchgear
KYN28A-12
Applicable to substations, distribution centers, and large industrial and mining enterprises
With complete protection functions (relay protection, automatic reclosing, etc.)
Strong short-circuit breaking capability (usually 31.5kA~50kA)
3. Main switch components
HXGN-12
Usually uses SF6 load switch or load switch + fuse combination appliance
Suitable for frequent operation, but short-circuit protection relies on fuse
KYN28A-12
Uses vacuum circuit breaker (handcart type), can be operated frequently
With relay protection function (overcurrent, quick break, grounding protection, etc.)
4. Insulation method
HXGN-12
SF6 gas insulation, small size, not affected by the environment
Suitable for places with limited space
KYN28A-12
Air insulation + metal partition, need to maintain a dry environment
Large size, but easy to maintain
5. Scalability and flexibility
HXGN-12
Modular expansion, can add PT cabinets, metering cabinets, etc.
Applicable to small power distribution systems
KYN28A-12
Strong scalability, can configure a variety of protection schemes
Applicable to large power distribution systems
6. Cost and maintenance
HXGN-12
Low cost, suitable for projects with limited budget
Easy to maintain, but SF6 gas needs to be tested regularly
KYN28A-12
Higher cost, but perfect protection function
Easy to maintain (circuit breaker can be withdrawn for maintenance)
Summary
