Description NXACT Vacuum Switching duties, typical applications Switching duties U = Synchronization and rapid load transfer (closing time 90 ms). K = Auto-reclosing The switching duty of the circuit-breaker module depends, for example, on its type of operating mechanism: Stored-energy operating mechanism For synchronization and rapid load transfer (U) For auto-reclosing (K) Snap-action operating mechanism (snap-action CLOSED, stored-energy OPEN) For normal closing and opening. Synchronization The closing times (for switching duties U and K) are so short that, at the instant the contacts touch, the systems being paralleled are still sufficiently in synchronism. Rapid load transfer (= transfer of loads from one source of supply to another without interruption of service) The vacuum circuit-breaker modules (switching duties U and K) have the very short closing and opening times which are required for this purpose. Tests conforming to the relevant standards have been carried out on the vacuum circuit-breaker modules for switching duty U. They included tests using the sequence O-t-CO-t -CO with full rated short-circuit breaking current. O = Opening C = Closing CO = Closing with subsequent opening in the circuitbreaker module s shortest close-open time. t, t' = Dead time of min. Auto-reclosing Used in overhead line systems to eliminate transient faults or short-circuits, such as those caused by thunderstorms, lightning or animals. The vacuum circuit-breaker modules (for switching duty K) have such short dead times between opening and closing, even at full short-circuit current, that the interruption in the supply has no appreciable effect on the load. If auto-reclosing is unsuccessful, the affected circuit is completely disconnected. According to the relevant standards, circuit-breaker modules designed for autoreclosing must be able to perform the test sequence O-t-CO-t -CO; in the case of unsuccessful auto-reclosing, only the sequence O-t-CO is required. t = 0. s, t = min. Multiple auto-reclosing The vacuum circuit-breaker modules are also suitable for multiple auto-reclosing, for example the following sequence O-t-CO-t -CO-t -CO-t -CO. t = 0. s, t = 5 s Interruption of short-circuit currents (With very high initial rates-ofrise of the transient recovery voltage) When interrupting short-circuit currents arising from faults immediately behind a transformer, generator or current limiting reactor, firstly it is possible for the full short-circuit current to develop and, secondly, the initial rate-of-rise of the transient recovery voltage may be considerably higher than the values specified in IEC 60056 and VDE 0670. Initial rates-of-rise up to 0 kv/µs may occur, or even higher values in the interruption of short-circuits on the load side of reactors. The circuit-breaker modules are also designed for these types of stresses. Switching of overhead lines and cables When unloaded overhead lines and cables are being disconnected, the relatively low capacitive currents are interrupted without restrike and, therefore, without overvoltage. Switching of transformers Due to the special type of contact material used, the chopping current of circuitbreaker modules is only 4 to 5 A, which means that no dangerous overvoltages arise when unloaded transformers are disconnected. Switching of capacitors Vacuum circuit-breaker modules are primarily designed for switching operations in capacitive circuits. They are able to disconnect capacitor banks of the highest ratings without restrike and, therefore, without overvoltages. The interruption of capacitive currents has been tested up to 600 A and up to rated voltages of kv. This value depends on the test facility used. Operating experience has shown that as a guiding value in general capacitive currents up to 70 % of the rated breaker normal current can be controlled. When capacitors are connected in parallel, currents which have the same level as short-circuit currents can occur which, due to their high rate-ofrise, may cause damage to the system components. Making currents up to a peak value of 0 ka are permissible; higher values on request. Switching of filter circuits When interrupting filter circuits or disconnecting reactorconnected capacitor banks, loading of the circuit-breaker modules by recovery voltage is greater than with pure capacitors. The reason for this is that the reactor and the capacitor are connected in series. This has to be taken into account when selecting the circuit-breaker module with respect to its rated voltage. Switching of motors If small high-voltage motors are disconnected during start-up, switching overvoltages may occur. This affects high-voltage motors with a starting current of up to 600 A. The level of these overvoltages can be reduced to safe values by means of special surge limiters (see Catalog HG Overvoltage Protection ). Overvoltage protection is not required for motors with individual p.f. correction. Siemens HG.5 998 /

NXACT Vacuum Construction and mode of operation Arc-quenching system As the contacts open, the current that is to be interrupted initiates a metal-vapor arc discharge. Current continues flowing through the metalvapor plasma until the next current zero. The arc extinguishes at approximately current zero. The metal vapor loses its conductivity within a few microseconds, which very quickly re-establishes the dielectric strength of the contact gap. A certain minimum current is needed in order to maintain the metal-vapor arc discharge. The arc will be chopped before the natural current zero if the current falls below this value. In order to prevent impermissible overvoltages when performing switching operations in inductive circuits, the chopping current must be limited to the lowest possible value. Due to the use of a special contact material, the chopping current is only 4 to 5 A. Due to the rapid recovery of the dielectric strength of the contact gap, the arc is safely quenched even in cases where contact separation occurs immediately before a current zero. Consequently, the arcing time of the last poles to clear is no more than 5 ms. With radial magnetic field contacts, the arc burns diffusely while the current is up to approx. 0 ka (instantaneous value). At higher current values the arc is contracted, so that local overheating of the contact pieces must be avoided. HG-6 eps An additional radial magnetic field produces a force which causes the arc to run around the arcing rings of the contact pieces. This allows the contact erosion that occurs at the root of the arc to be distributed over the whole circumference of the rings. Siemens HG.5 998 /5

NXACT Vacuum Description Construction and mode of operation Stored-energy mechanism Features Stored-energy mechanism via closing and opening spring Charging of springs manually or electrically Storage of switching sequence Trip-free mechanism Features To VDE 0670 To IEC 60056 The operating mechanism is generally of the stored-energy type. The mechanism operates the pole assemblies through rods. The closing spring can be charged either electrically or manually. It latches in when charging is complete. The closing spring acts as the stored-energy mechanism. For closing, the closing spring can be unlatched either mechanically by means of the local CLOSE pushbutton or electrically by remote control. The closing spring charges the contact-pressure/opening springs as the breaker closes. The now discharged closing spring will be charged again automatically by the mechanism motor if this exists. The breaker is now capable of performing the OPEN CLOSE OPEN switching sequence that is required for an unsuccessful auto-reclosing operation. All stored-energy mechanisms perform the switching duties of synchronizing and rapid load transfer (U) as well as autoreclosing (K). In the event of an opening command being given after a closing operation has been initiated, the moving contacts return to the open position and remain there even if the closing command is sustained. This means that the contacts of the circuit-breaker module reach the closed position under these circumstances, as is permitted by IEC 60 056 and VDE 0670. 4 5 6 Operating mechanism unit with stored-energy mechanism and secondary equipment Operating mechanism for disconnector function Motor and gearbox Closing spring 4 Closing solenoid 5 Auxiliary switch for disconnector function 6 Operating mechanism for feeder earthing switch R-HG-6eps 7 Low-voltage plug connector 8 Auxiliary switches for switching function 9 Opening block 0 st shunt release 7 8 9 0 Operating mechanism motors Features DC or AC motors Short-time duty Varistor circuitry The motors operate in shorttime duty.

NXACT Vacuum Description Secondary equipment The extent of the secondary equipment of the circuitbreaker module depends on the particular application and offers a great variety of possibilities to satisfy nearly every requirement. All secondary modules are described below and combination possibilities are stated in Part of this catalog. Releases A release is a device which transfers commands from an external source, such as a control room, to the latching mechanism of the circuitbreaker module so that it can be opened or closed. The various types of releases available are described in detail below. The VDE designations for the devices are also given (in parentheses) when they differ from the terms used in this catalog. AY5 0 closing solenoid (shunt-closing release) The closing solenoid unlatches the charged closing spring and thus closes the circuit-breaker module electrically. It is available for either DC or AC operation. Shunt release (shunt-opening release) Shunt releases are used for automatic tripping of the circuit-breaker module by suitable protective relays and for deliberate tripping by electrical means. They are intended for connection to an external power supply (DC or AC) but, in special cases, may also be connected to a voltage transformer for manual operation. Two different types of shunt release are available: The st shunt release AY5 0 is normally included in the basic equipment of the circuit-breaker module. With this design, the electric tripping pulse is fed to the OPEN latching mechanism by means of a direct-acting solenoid armature in order to open the circuit-breaker module. The AX 0 release is fitted if more than one shunt release is required (nd shunt release possible). With this design, the electrical operning command is boosted by means of a solenoid armature unlatching a stored-energy mechanism before being fed to the OPEN latching mechanism in order to open the circuitbreaker module. Shorter opening times are possible with this release than with the AY5 0 type. For the maximum possible number of releases that may be fitted, see selection and ordering data in Part of this catalog. AX 0 undervoltage release An undervoltage release comprises a stored-energy mechanism, an unlatching mechanism and an electromagnetic system which is permanently energized while the circuit-breaker module is closed. If the voltage falls below a predetermined value, unlatching of the release is enabled and the circuit-breaker module is opened via the stored-energy mechanism. Manual tripping of the undervoltage release is generally performed with an NC contact in the tripping circuit, but may also be performed with an NO contact by short-circuiting the solenoid coil. With this type of release, the short-circuit current is limited by the built-in resistors. Undervoltage releases can also be connected to voltage transformers. The circuitbreaker module is then tripped automatically if the operating voltage drops to impermissibly low levels. Unsuccessful attempts at closing when the solenoid coil of the undervoltage release is not energized can be prevented in the following ways: By normally fitting electrical local closing in conjunction with the undervoltage release By connecting the undervoltage release, operated through an NO contact and closing solenoid, to the same operating voltage. Undervoltage release with delay For delayed tripping, the undervoltage release can be combined with type AN 90 stored-energy mechanisms (for AC) and type AN 90 (for DC), both types manufactured by Bender *. Adjustable delay times: s,.8 s and.5 s. For combination with the stored-energy mechanisms, matched undervoltage releases must be fitted. The storedenergy mechanisms are not included in the scope of supply but must be ordered separately from Bender *. Current transformer-operated release Consisting of: Stored-energy mechanism Unlatching mechanism Electromagnetic system. Current transformer-operated releases are used where no external auxiliary voltage (battery) is available. Tripping is effected by means of a protective relay (e.g. overcurrent-time protection) acting on the current transformeroperated release. * Ordering address Dipl.-Ing. W. Bender GmbH & Co. KG P.O. Box 6 D-50 Grünberg Germany Two different current transformer-operated releases are used: AX 0 current transformer-operated release with a rated current of 0.5 A which requires auxiliary transformers (e.g. type 4AM5 see catalog sheet LSA..6 Auxiliary current transformers for differential relays for overhead lines, cables and transformers ) in addition to the main current transformers. The stored-energy mechanism is unlatched when the tripping current is exceeded (90 % of the rated current of the current transformeroperated release), thus causing the circuit-breaker module to be opened. AX 04 current transformer-operated release, lowenergy version for a tripping pulse of min. 0. Ws. It is always used in conjunction with the 7SJ4 protective system (independent overcurrent-time protection with three-phase current transformer) or with similar protective systems. The protective system takes its supply and release energy for the circuit-breaker module from its own current transformer and is thus not dependent on external auxiliary voltages. The transformer current ensures that the protective relay is supplied with energy and fills an energy store, the charge of which is available as a tripping pulse at the time of tripping. This tripping pulse with 0. Ws is switched by the command contact and is capable of activating the current transformer-operated release. Anti-pumping (mechanical and electrical) If constant CLOSE and OPEN commands are present at the circuit-breaker module at the same time, the circuit-breaker module will return to the open position after closing. It remains in this position until a new CLOSE command is given. In this manner, continual closing and opening (= pumping ) is prevented. /0 Siemens HG.5 998

Therefore, the signal from the NO contact must be interrupted when the breaker is being opened intentionally. This is accomplished under local control with the S7 cutout switch that is connected in series with the NO contact (see circuit example on page /). Position switch for signalling closing spring charged The charging status of the closing spring of the circuitbreaker module can be interrogated electrically by means of the position switch. Varistor module When inductive loads are being disconnected in DC circuits, it is possible for switching overvoltages to be produced which may pose a risk to solid-state devices. This risk can be eliminated by connecting varistors across the inductances of the circuit-breaker module (motor, closing solenoid, releases). A suitable varistor module for operating voltages 60 V DC to 50 V DC is fitted when ordered. It limits the overvoltage to approx. 500 V. Electrical local closing In the standard version, the circuit-breaker modules can be remote-closed electrically. In addition, they can be mechanically closed locally by direct unlatching of the closing spring. In this version, the closing circuit of the circuit-breaker module is triggered electrically by means of a pushbutton. This arrangement allows interlocking conditions arising from the system to be accepted in the local mode so that the circuit-breaker cannot close accidentally. For example, the circuit-breaker module can be interlocked through the auxiliary contact of a disconnector (see section on interlocking and also schematic diagrams on page /). Circuit-breaker modules fitted with electrical local closing cannot be closed mechanically. Interlocking Mechanical interlocking The sensing devices on the system side check the status of the circuit-breaker module and prevent it from closing if the associated disconnector is not in a position to allow safe operation. The system also prevents the disconnector from being operated while the circuit-breaker module is closed. Similarly, the mechanical interlocking system can also be used for interlocking breaker trucks or withdrawable circuitbreakers. Electrical interlocking Circuit-breaker modules can be incorporated in electromagnetic interlocking schemes for feeders and substations. With electrical interlocking, a magnetic lockout is fitted to the disconnector or its operating mechanism. The lockout is operated through an auxiliary contact of the circuit-breaker module so that the disconnector can only be operated when the circuit-breaker module is open. The circuit-breaker module, on the other hand, is controlled by the disconnector or its operating mechanism so that it may only be closed when the disconnector is in its end positions. For this purpose, the operating mechanism must be fitted with the electrical local closing system (see section on electrical local closing). Operating cycle counter An operating cycle counter is integrated in the control board to indicate the number of operating cycles performed by the circuit-breaker module. The number of operating cycles can be used to derive the operating life or servicing cycles. Secondary connections (for control circuit) 64-pole plug connector (e.g. type Han 64 D of Harting make) with crimping connections (a Harting crimping tool is necessary to connect the wiring). For availability of secondary connectors see under Secondary equipment in Part of this catalog. The upper plug part and sleeve of the connector are supplied loose. No tools are required for plugging and unplugging the upper and lower plug parts. The schematic diagrams show the factory assignment of the secondary connections. All circuit-breaker modules have the same assignment of terminals if they have the same secondary connections, with the result that it is easy to replace any breaker modules. Other terminal assignments on request.
