The replacement of outdated oil circuit breakers has been completed at eight substations in the Batken region. This was reported by the Ministry of Energy of the Kyrgyz Republic.
In particular, at the 35/6 kV "Chauvay" substation, old circuit breakers on the 6 kV lines "RESH-22", "School", "Factory", and "Section" were dismantled. Similar work was carried out at the 35/6 kV "Pump - Kulundu" substation, where circuit breakers on the 6 kV lines "T-1", "AG-1", and "AG-22" were replaced. All of them have been replaced with modern vacuum circuit breakers rated for 10 kV.
At the 35/10 kV "Kara-Bulak" substation, circuit breakers on the 10 kV lines "Beles" and "Boz-Tumshuk" were also updated, while at the 35/10/6 kV "Dostuk" substation, replacements were made on the 10 kV lines "Neftoprom" and "Dostuk".
Additionally, at the 35/10 kV "Kara-Bulak" (Batken) and 35/10 kV "Markaz" substations, new vacuum circuit breakers rated for 35 kV were installed instead of the ODKZ-35 kV T-1 equipment.
Furthermore, at the 110/35/10 kV "Samot" and 35/10 kV "Sulyukta" substations, battery replacements were made for more modern models. Upcoming plans include the installation of vacuum circuit breakers at the 35/10 kV "Kara-Tokoy-1" substation rated for 10 kV.
As emphasized in the message, the new vacuum circuit breakers meet modern requirements, are highly reliable, have low operating costs, and do not pose a fire hazard.
