Attention: It is essential that no changes are made to the circuit-breaker! Important instructions are marked. Numbers and capital letters indicated in brackets refer to the illustrations on pages 16 to 22. 1 General The HVX series circuit-breakers are vacuum circuit-breakers for application in 12 to 24 kv indoor switchgear units. 1.1 Operating conditions The circuit-breakers operate perfectly under the following climate conditions corresponding to IEC 60694: 1.1.1 Admissible ambient temperature The maximum temperature of the ambient air is 40 C, the average measured over a 24 h period not exceeding max. 35 C. The minimum temperature of the ambient air is -5 C. 1.1.2 Installation altitude The circuit-breakers can be installed at altitudes up to 1000 m above sea level. At higher installation altitudes reduced withstand voltage must be taken into account. It may be necessary to use circuit-breakers of the next-higher voltage series. 1.1.3 Admissible air pollution The ambient air is not essentially polluted by dust, smoke, corrosive or inflammable gases and vapours, or by salt. 1.1.4 Admissible atmospheric humidity The average relative humidity, measured during a 24 h period, does not exceed 95 %. The average vapour-pressure, measured over a 24 h period, does not exceed 22 mbar. The average relative humidity, measured over a one-month period, does not exceed 90 %. The average vapour pressure, measured over a one-month period, does not exceed 18 mbar. Under these conditions condensation may occur: - Condensation must be expected if sudden temperature fluctuations occur in periods with high atmospheric humidity. - Condensation can be prevented by appropriate design and ventilation of the building and heating the switchgear, or by means of dehydrators. These measures are recommended if an atmospheric humidity in excess of 75 % is to be expected. Remarks If circuit-breakers are to be used under conditions differing from those described above, the manufacturer must be consulted! 4

2 Design, supplementary Accessories and Method of Operation 2.1 Design 2.1.1 Circuit-breaker complete The circuit-breaker consists of the drive housing (127), the three poles with current path (104-108, 123-124), the three switching mechanisms (112-119), the cassette with motor drive (128) and the spring mechanism (102). 2.1.2 Drive casing The drive casing (127) accommodates the main shaft with the spring mechanism (102), control and operating devices and the connection elements to the three pole frames (101). 2.1.3 Pole with current path The primary current path (104-108, 123-124) consists of the upper conductor (104), the vacuum interrupter (105), the shield or the contact terminal (106), the flexible connector (107), the lower conductor (108), the isolating contact (123) and the insulating conduit (124). 2.1.4 Switching mechanism The switching mechanism (112-119) consists of the spacer with screw (112), the contact pressure spring (113), the spacer (114), the pressure rod (115), the bearing (116), the lever (117), the connection to the drive unit (118) and the coupling (119). 2.1.5 Cassette with motor-drive The cassette with motor drive (128) accommodates the rack-in and rack-out mechanism, the connector carrier (201) with connector and the interlock between the rack-in and rack-out mechanism and the spring mechanism (102). 2.1.6 Spring mechanism The HVX circuit-breakers are driven via a motorized spring mechanism FK 2-01. 2.1.6.1 Mechanical equipment Every FK drive is equipped with the following mechanical elements: Hexagon socket for manual charging of the spiral spring ON pushbutton (10) OFF pushbutton (12) Circuit-breaker position indicator Closing spring position indicator 2.1.6.2 Electrical control of the circuitbreaker drive The electrical equipment for the spring mechanism (102) FK 2-01 is described in the circuit diagram supplied with the unit. 2.1.6.3 Control, protection The drive FK 2-01 can be used for auto-reclosing (OFF-reclosing). In conjunction with the appropriate electrical equipment, a control system can be designed together with the secondary relays. 2.1.7 Rack-in and rack-out mechanism 2.1.7.1 Spindle Refer to illustration on page 21. The spindle (208) is located in the cassette with motor drive (128) and the spindle bearing (205), where it is also held axially by means of a locking ring. The two interlock rockers (205) are slipped on the cassette with motor drive (128) for longitudinal protection, and suspended on the 2 journals (206). 2.1.7.2 Motorization Refer to illustration on page 19. The multi-stage spur reduction gearing (210) is fixed in the cassette with motordrive (128) via the spindle (208) which is mounted to the gearing. The motor is fixed in the gearing (210). An auxiliary crank for HVX (306) can be slipped onto one shaft of the bearing (210) (refer to illustration on page 22). The 2 nd gearing stage is designed as an overload coupling. This allows the final stops of the spindle (208) to be approached without damaging the spindle or the gearing (210). 2.1.7.3 Electrical control of the rack-in and rack-out motor The contactors K1 K2 control the motor. They are mounted onto the head plate of the circuit-breaker drive. The limit switches S4 and S5 are mounted to the gearing (210). (Refer to corresponding diagrams). 5

2.1.8 Connector carrier Refer to illustrations on page 21. The connector carrier (201) is screwfastened tightly in the cassette with motor drive (128). The control connector (positive) on the circuitbreaker end (202) is secured in the connector carrier (201). The control connector (negative) on the panel end (203) is fixed in the connector support (204). The connector suppert (204) is slipped onto the connector carrier (201). 2.1.9 Interlocks Mechanical interlocks are located between the circuit-breaker drive, the rack-in and rack-out mechanism and the connector. 2.1.10 Position indicator Control cams for 7 different contact diagrams can be inserted on 8 tracks on the position indicator plate (125) fixed in the cassette with motor drive (128). In case of the HVX, tracks number 7 and 8 are required for the control. (Refer to corresponding diagram). Deck 6 is required if the earthing switch drive is motorised. The remaining 5 decks can be used as necessary. The position indicator pack on the panel end, which features the integral limit switches, is suspended in rotary and laterally sliding position. A spring presses the position indicator pack with integrated limit switches against the position indicator plate (125). A groove in the position indicator plate (125) provides for lateral centring of the position indicator pack. Thus, the limit switches of the position indicator pack are aligned to the control cams of the position indicator plate (125). 2.2 Supplementary accessories available on request Circuit-breaker coding 2.2.1 Circuit-breaker coding To enable circuit-breaker coding, the position indicator plate (125) is required on the circuit breaker, and the position indicator pack without limit switch on the panel end. This provides 5 different coding variants. 2.3 Method of operation 2.3.1 Circuit-breaker The closing and opening movement is transmitted by the spring mechanism (102) via the switching mechanisms (112-119) to the vacuum interrupters (105). On closing, the movable contacts (110) touch the fixed contacts (109), tensioning the contact pressure springs (113) embedded in the switching mechanism (112-119), so that the fixed contacts (109) and the movable contacts (110) are pressed together with the necessary closing force. 2.3.2 Spring mechanism The spring mechanism (102) features a single shaft for closing and opening. The spiral spring (7) supplies the power for closing and opening. The cam disc (1) transmits the energy to the switching mechanisms (112-119). The shaft and the cam disc (1) rotate by 360 for a closing and opening operation. (To permit the operating cycle OFF- ON-OFF, the spiral spring (7) is retensioned after the vacuum circuitbreaker is switched ON). 2.3.2.1 Closing (ON) The circuit-breaker is switched ON when the mechanical rocker is actuated to ON (10), or by means of a control pulse emitted to the closing release (11). 2.3.2.2 Opening (OFF) The circuit-breaker is switched OFF when the mechanical rocker is actuated to OFF (12) or by means of a control pulse emitted to the opening release (13) or the no-volt release or the indirect over-current release. 2.3.3 Rack-in and rack-out mechanism The spindle nut (209) latches on the panel end. When the motor rotates the spindle (208) via the gearing (210), the circuit-breaker moves. A cam, mounted to the spindle nut (209), moves the lock rocker (205) if the circuit-breaker is not in service position I or isolating position 0. The interlock rocker (205) actuates the limit switch S4 (refer to corresponding diagram), which stops the motor. The final stops of the spindle nut (209) are mounted onto the spindle (208). 6

2.3.4 Electrical control of the rack-in and rack-out motor If the rack-in command is issued as a pulse or as a maintained contact, contactor K1 picks up and changes into locking state. In response to K1, the motor turns in rack-in direction. Now, if the motor turns the spindle (208), the limit switch S4 is actuated. The locking state of K1 now also includes S4. Just before the position racked-in is reached, the position indicator on the panel end interrupts the maintained rack-in contact and the locking condition of K1 via its own contact. However, the limit switch S4 continues to maintain K1, and S4 only opens when the racked-in position is reached completely. Thus, K1 is dropped out and the motor switches off. On racking-out, the same applies, however in conjunction with contactor K2 instead of K1. 2.3.5 Interlocks 2.3.5.1 Circuit-breaker coding Circuit-breaker coding helps ensure that the circuit-breakers can only be racked into panel s for which they are designed. 2.3.5.2 Cassette interlock The circuit-breaker which is racked in the panel by the transport trolley (303) only latches in the moving rocker if the spindle nut (209) is in the position corresponding to the isolating position. 2.3.5.3 Earthing switch interlock Only applicable to PID panels or panel equipment made by ALSTOM AG. The detachable lever used to operate the earthing switch can only be inserted while the circuit-breaker is in isolating position 0, or while it is not in the panel. 2.3.5.4 Connector interlock The control connector (negative) on the panel end (203) can only be inserted or removed while the circuit-breaker is in isolating position 0. 2.3.5.5 Drive interlock The circuit-breaker drive can only be switched when the circuit-breaker is in isolating position 0 or in service position I and while the auxiliary crank (306) for the rack-in and rackout mechanism has been removed. 2.3.5.6 Interlock for HVX auxiliary crank (306) for the rack-in and rack-out mechanism The HVX auxiliary crank (306) which serves to actuate the rack-in and rack-out mechanism can only be inserted if the circuit-breaker has been switched off. 2.3.5.7 Rack-in interlock The circuit-breaker is mechanically locked in isolating position, if the earthing switch is in position ON. After approx. 4 turns of the HVX auxiliary crank (306), the circuit breaker reaches this blocking mechanism. 2.3.5.8 Electrical interlocks Auxiliary contacts and limit switches have been mounted to provide electrical interlocks between the circuit-breaker drive, the rack-in and rack-out motor drive and the earthing switch. (Refer to the corresponding diagrams). 7

3 Transport, Reception and Storage 3.1 Transport The circuit-breakers are dispatched with packing. The weight of the circuit-breaker must correspond to the final dimension drawing, which has binding character. When supplied, the circuit-breakers are completely assembled and adjusted. 3.2 Reception Unloading and unpacking the circuit-breakers requires maximum care! After reception, the circuitbreakers must be unpacked without delay! The insurance company must be informed immediately about damage which may have occurred in transit The circuit-breakers must be checked for completeness! The manufacturer should be contacted in case of deviations. The circuit-breaker must not be subjected to mechanical strain (placing abruptly on the floor, knocking against obstacles, etc.)! The circuit-breaker must be lifted as shown in the Figure. This work requires a rope (no bright steel rope) of 12...15mm dia., or a strap. 3.3 Storage The circuit-breakers must be stored in unpacked condition as specified under items 1.1.3 and 1.1.4! The transport packing is not packing for storage! The risk of storing the circuit-breakers in packed condition shall be the consignee s responsibility! Make sure that the rope is strong enough to bear the weight of the circuit-breaker! 8

4 Assembly and Commissioning The circuit-breakers must be used under the conditions specified under item 1.1! 4.1 Assembly of the circuit-breaker types HVX The circuit-breakers are delivered in ready-to-operate condition. They do not require additional assembly or adjustment work. 4.2 Test run 4.2.1 Mechanical function test Vacuum test (refer to 7.1.3) Set circuit-breakers externally to disconnected position 0. Before coupling the transport trolley (303) to the panel (refer to Assembly and Operating Instructions, transport trolley 531 341), the following items in the panel must be checked: The moving rocker is fixed by a spring; it can be pressed down. The position indicator pack can be pushed down and shifted laterally. Attention: Control voltage in the position indicator pack is ON. The codings of circuitbreaker and panel correspond. There are no foreign bodies in the circuitbreaker compartment. Check the dimensions of the rail as shown in the drawing on page 23. Insert the control connector on the panel end (negative) (203) until the snap hook (216) is engaged. Switch circuit-breaker ON and OFF several times by hand (Operating Instructions, refer to 5.2). At the same time, check the following: Check position of position indicator (Switch position OFF) Check interlock feature according to items 2.3.5.4. to 2.3.5.7. Check any mechanical interlocks provided between the circuitbreaker and other devices. Move circuit-breaker to service position I using the HVX auxiliary crank (306) and switch it ON and OFF by hand. Move circuit-breaker in disconnected position 0 using the HVX auxiliary crank (306). 4.2.2 Electrical function check Switch control voltage ON. The motor (9) of the spring mechanism (102) starts to charge the spiral spring (7) immediately. Switch circuit-breaker ON and OFF (remote-controlled, as far as the electrical equipment of the spring mechanism (102) so permits). To this effect, check control and signal circuits as well as any electrical interlocks between the circuit-breaker and the other devices. Rack in and out the circuitbreaker using the motor. To this effect, check control and signal circuits as well as any electrical interlocks which might exist between the circuit-breaker and the other devices. 4.3 Commissioning Before commissioning, complete the inspection record (cf. Section 10) based on the checks actually performed. After these checks have been completed, the circuit-breaker can be put into operation. 9

7.1.2 Inspection schedule for monitoring the current status The time for inspection and the maintenance work involved depends on the following factors: the service life the operating frequency the number of breaking operations Intervals Inspection Maintenance or repair work Annually Visual inspection of the circuitbreaker. Every 10 years Vacuum test according to 7.1.3. After approx. 10,000 operating cycles Visual inspection of the spring mechanism (102). Vacuum test according to 7.1.3. Clean insulating components if contaminated. In case of loss of vacuum, replace vacuum interrupters (105). Clean spring mechanism (102) if contaminated. Perform approx. 10 no-load switching operations. In case of loss of vacuum, replace vacuum interrupters (105). Revise spring mechanism (102) as directed by the manufacturer. After 20,000 operating cycles - Replace vacuum interrupters (105) Revise spring mechanism (102) as directed by the manufacturer. After reaching the admissible number of breaking operations according to graph 7.1.4 After 1,000 rack-in / rack-out movements of the circuitbreaker - Replace vacuum interrupters (105). - Revise gearing according to the manufacturer s instructions. 7.1.3 Vacuum test on the vacuum interrupter Prepare circuit-breaker according to 7.1.1 (Circuit-breaker in position OFF). Pull lever (117) on the press rod (115) down until all bearing clearances are eliminated (stroke approx. 0.5 mm). If the lever is returned to its initial position by the vacuum, the vacuum interrupter (105) is perfectly sealed. If it is possible to press the lever (117) on the press rod (115) upwards (approx. 0.5 mm) and if it moves down again when released, this indicates that the vacuum interrupter (105) is leaking. 13

Number of admissible short-circuit breaking operations 7.1.4 Number of admissible shortcircuit breaking operations The graph shown here indicates whether the interrupter might require replacement. It refers exclusively to short-circuit currents and purely inductive load currents with a cos Φ < 0.1 [e.g. shunt reactor)], not, however, to normal load currents. 7.2 Spare parts No spare parts are provided. Short-circuit breaking current in % of the rated short-circuit breaking current 14
