A low - voltage circuit breaker is one which is suited for circuits rated at 600 volts or lower. One of the most commonly used low-voltage air circuit breakers is the molded case circuit breaker. If an extremely high current is developed, the circuit breaker will be tripped very rapidly.Its core function is to quickly cut off the current in the event of overload, short circuit or undervoltage to ensure the safety of equipment and personnel. Compared with AC circuit breakers, its technical difficulty lies in the stable extinction of DC arc and high voltage tolerance.
Analysis of market driving factors
1. New energy revolution: Explosion of demand for photovoltaic, wind power and energy storage
Photovoltaic system upgrade: The global photovoltaic installed capacity has increased annually, driving the demand for 1500V high-voltage DC circuit breakers. For example, circuit breakers that meet the national standard GB/T 34581-2017 have become standard due to their high insulation strength (power frequency withstand voltage 10kV).
Energy storage system safety: Battery energy storage power stations require DC circuit breakers to achieve millisecond-level protection to avoid thermal runaway risks, directly driving the demand for high-end products.
2. Electrification wave: dual drive of vehicles and charging piles
Electric vehicle penetration: Each electric vehicle in the world requires 3-5 DC circuit breakers for BMS and high-voltage distribution units. Expansion of charging infrastructure: Supercharging piles (power ≥ 350kW) require dedicated circuit breakers to support 800V DC fast charging, such as Tesla V3 Supercharging, which uses customized solutions.
3. Industrial automation and smart grid upgrade
Demand for equipment miniaturization: Scenarios such as industrial robots and servo motors require circuit breakers to be 50% smaller in size and 30% more current dense, driving technological innovation in molded case circuit breakers.
Smart grid investment: Global smart grid investment continues to increase. As key node equipment, DC circuit breakers need to support remote control and data analysis functions.
4. Data center and 5G base station energy efficiency revolution
Transformation of power supply architecture: Data center UPS systems evolve toward DC architecture. For example, Facebook uses 380V DC power supply, and circuit breakers need to meet high reliability (MTBF ≥ 500,000 hours).
Increase in 5G base station density: The power consumption of a single base station is three times that of 4G. DC circuit breakers need to optimize heat dissipation design to adapt to a wide temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.
5. Dual drive of policy and environmental protection
Carbon neutrality target: The EU "Fit for 55" plan requires that renewable energy account for 45%, directly driving demand for DC circuit breakers in the photovoltaic and wind power fields.
Energy efficiency standard upgrade: IEC 60317-56 and other standards require circuit breaker losses to be reduced by 20%, forcing companies to adopt new semiconductor materials (such as SiC) to improve efficiency.
6. Technological innovation and product iteration
Breakthrough in solid-state circuit breakers: Jingsi Intelligent and other companies have launched solid-state circuit breakers based on IGBT, with a breaking time shortened to 1μs and a lifespan of 1 million times, which are used in new energy, 5G and other fields.
Modular design: Schneider Electric's Acti9 series supports hot plugging and online maintenance, reducing operation and maintenance costs by 30%, and is favored by data centers.
7. Emerging market growth pole
Infrastructure boom in Asia: China's "new infrastructure" plan drives demand for DC circuit breakers in data centers and charging piles. Off-grid market in Africa: Microgrid projects use low-voltage DC solutions, such as Kenya's photovoltaic off-grid system, to promote demand for low-cost circuit breakers (unit price < US$50).
III. Future trends and challenges
Accelerated technology integration: AIoT technology enables circuit breakers to have predictive maintenance functions, such as early identification of insulation aging through current harmonic analysis.
Standard unification needs: The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is promoting the unification of DC circuit breaker test standards to reduce cross-border certification costs.
Supply chain reconstruction: Chinese manufacturers have occupied 60% of the global market share in the new energy field with their cost-effective advantages, but high-end chips (such as IGBT) still rely on imports.
The low-voltage DC circuit breaker market is experiencing a golden development period driven by the new energy revolution, the wave of electrification, smart grid upgrades and technological innovation. Enterprises need to focus on high-voltage, intelligent and modular technology directions, while deepening global supply chain cooperation to cope with the explosion of market demand under the carbon neutrality goal.
