CQB71R-100 Series Electricity Meter External Circuit Breaker
The CQB71R-100 series meter socket circuit breaker is designed by CHAC Electric to provide overload and short-circuit protection for metering applications. By detecting the power meter control signal, it automatically controls the connection or disconnection of the load, achieving automatic load break for unpaid usage and automatic load make for paid usage. Our CQB71R-100 series ensures reliable and efficient operation, providing a robust solution for utility meter control and protection.
Product Overview
The CQB71R-100 electric energy meter external circuit breaker has short-circuit overload protection. It automatically controls the connection or disconnection of the load by detecting the meter control signal, realizing automatic control of opening the circuit breaker for arrears and closing the circuit breaker for payment. It meets national standards including State Grid Q/GDW11421 “Technical Specification for Meter Socket Circuit Breakers”, China Southern Power Grid “Technical Specification for External Circuit Breakers of Fee-Controlled Meters”, and GB/T10963.1 “Circuit Breakers for Over-Current Protection in Households and Similar Applications”.
