Switching duties, typical applications

Switching duties Auto-reclosing

Used in overhead line systemsto eliminate transient faults orshort-circuits, such as thosecaused by thunderstorms,lightning or animals.The vacuum circuit-breakermodules (for switching duty K)have such short dead timesbetween opening and closing,even at full short-circuit cur-rent, that the interruption in thesupply has no appreciableeffect on the load.If auto-reclosing is unsuccess-ful, the affected circuit iscompletely disconnected.According to the relevantstandards, circuit-breakermodules designed for auto-reclosing must be able toperform the test sequence O-t-CO-t’-CO; in the case ofunsuccessful auto-reclosing,only the sequence O-t-CO isrequired.t = 0.3 s, t ’ = 3 min.

Multiple auto-reclosing

The vacuum circuit-breakermodules are also suitable formultiple auto-reclosing, forexample the followingsequence O-t-CO-t’-CO-t ’-CO-t ’-CO.t = 0.3 s, t ’ = 15 s

Interruption of short-circuitcurrents(With very high initial rates-of-rise of the transient recoveryvoltage)When interrupting short-circuitcurrents arising from faultsimmediately behind a trans-former, generator or currentlimiting reactor, firstly it ispossible for the full short-circuitcurrent to develop and, se-condly, the initial rate-of-rise ofthe transient recovery voltagemay be considerably higherthan the values specified in IEC 60056 and VDE 0670.Initial rates-of-rise up to 10 kV/μs may occur, or evenhigher values in the inter-ruption of short-circuits on theload side of reactors. Thecircuit-breaker modules arealso designed for these typesof stresses.

Switching of overhead linesand cables

When unloaded overhead linesand cables are being discon-nected, the relatively lowcapacitive currents are inter-rupted without restrike and,therefore, without overvoltage.

Switching of transformers

Due to the special type ofcontact material used, thechopping current of circuit-breaker modules is only 4 to 5 A, which means that nodangerous overvoltages arisewhen unloaded transformersare disconnected.

Switching of capacitors

Vacuum circuit-breaker mo-dules are primarily designed forswitching operations in capa-citive circuits. They are able todisconnect capacitor banks ofthe highest ratings withoutrestrike and, therefore, withoutovervoltages.The interruption of capacitivecurrents has been tested up to600 A and up to rated voltagesof 12 kV. This value dependson the test facility used.Operating experience hasshown that as a guiding valuein general capacitive currentsup to 70 % of the rated breakernormal current can becontrolled.When capacitors are con-nected in parallel, currentswhich have the same level asshort-circuit currents can occurwhich, due to their high rate-of-rise, may cause damage to thesystem components.Making currents up to a peakvalue of 10 kA are permissible;higher values on request.

Switching of filter circuits

When interrupting filter circuitsor disconnecting reactor-connected capacitor banks,loading of the circuit-breakermodules by recovery voltage isgreater than with purecapacitors.The reason for this is that thereactor and the capacitor areconnected in series.This has to be taken intoaccount when selecting thecircuit-breaker module withrespect to its rated voltage.

Switching of motors

If small high-voltage motors aredisconnected during start-up,switching overvoltages mayoccur. This affects high-voltagemotors with a starting currentof up to 600 A.The level of these overvoltagescan be reduced to safe valuesby means of special surgelimiters (see Catalog HG 21“Overvoltage Protection”).Overvoltage protection is notrequired for motors withindividual p.f. correction.

The switching duty of thecircuit-breaker module de-pends, for example, on its typeof operating mechanism:

• Stored-energy operatingmechanism

– For synchronization and rapidload transfer (U)

– For auto-reclosing (K)

• Snap-action operatingmechanism (snap-actionCLOSED, stored-energyOPEN)

– For normal closing andopening.

Synchronization

The closing times (for switch-ing duties U and K) are so shortthat, at the instant the contactstouch, the systems beingparalleled are still sufficiently insynchronism.

Rapid load transfer

(= transfer of loads from onesource of supply to anotherwithout interruption of service)The vacuum circuit-breakermodules (switching duties U and K) have the very shortclosing and opening timeswhich are required for thispurpose.Tests conforming to therelevant standards have beencarried out on the vacuumcircuit-breaker modules forswitching duty “U”. Theyincluded tests using thesequence O-t-CO-t’-CO withfull rated short-circuit breakingcurrent.O = OpeningC = ClosingCO = Closing with subsequent

opening in the circuit-breaker module’s short-est close-open time.

t, t' = Dead time of 3 min.

U = Synchronization and rapid load transfer (closing time ≤ 90 ms).

K = Auto-reclosing

With radial magnetic fieldcontacts, the arc burnsdiffusely while the current is up to approx. 10 kA (instan-taneous value). At highercurrent values the arc iscontracted, so that localoverheating of the contactpieces must be avoided.

Construction and mode of operation

Arc-quenching system

As the contacts open, thecurrent that is to be interruptedinitiates a metal-vapor arcdischarge. Current continuesflowing through the metal-vapor plasma until the nextcurrent zero. The arc extin-guishes at approximatelycurrent zero. The metal vaporloses its conductivity within afew microseconds, which veryquickly re-establishes the di-electric strength of the contactgap.A certain minimum current isneeded in order to maintain themetal-vapor arc discharge. Thearc will be chopped before thenatural current zero if thecurrent falls below this value.In order to prevent imper-missible overvoltages whenperforming switching oper-ations in inductive circuits, thechopping current must belimited to the lowest possiblevalue. Due to the use of aspecial contact material, thechopping current is only 4 to 5 A.Due to the rapid recovery ofthe dielectric strength of thecontact gap, the arc is safelyquenched even in cases wherecontact separation occursimmediately before a currentzero. Consequently, the arcingtime of the last poles to clear isno more than 15 ms.

An additional radial magneticfield produces a force whichcauses the arc to run aroundthe arcing rings of the contactpieces. This allows the contacterosion that occurs at the rootof the arc to be distributed overthe whole circumference of therings.

Description

Vacuuminterrupter(example)

With AC circuit-breakers theactual task of the arc-quench-ing system is to de-ionize thecontact gap immediately aftercurrent zero.In the case of all the con-ventional methods of arc-quenching, this means that thearc is being cooled even beforethe minimum gap and thesubsequent current zero arereached. As a result, the arcpower is unintentionallyincreased to a considerabledegree.With the circuit-breakermodule, on the other hand, thearc is not cooled. The metal-vapor plasma has a high con-ductivity which results in anextremely low arc voltage withvalues from only 20 to 200 V.For this reason, and due to theshort arcing times, the amountof energy conversion in thecontact gap is very low. Thisrelatively low stress levelmeans that the quenchingsystem is maintenance-free.Due to the very low pressuresof less than 10–9 bar in theinterrupter under steady-stateconditions, contact gaps ofonly 6 mm are required in orderto achieve a high dielectricstrength.

The operating mechanism isgenerally of the stored-energytype. The mechanism operatesthe pole assemblies throughrods. The closing spring can becharged either electrically ormanually. It latches in whencharging is complete. Theclosing spring acts as thestored-energy mechanism.For closing, the closing springcan be unlatched eithermechanically by means of thelocal “CLOSE” pushbutton orelectrically by remote control.The closing spring charges thecontact-pressure/openingsprings as the breaker closes.The now discharged closingspring will be charged againautomatically by the mecha-nism motor – if this exists.The breaker is now capable ofperforming the OPEN – CLOSE– OPEN switching sequencethat is required for an unsuc-cessful auto-reclosingoperation.All stored-energy mechanismsperform the switching duties ofsynchronizing and rapid loadtransfer (U) as well as auto-reclosing (K).

Stored-energymechanism

Features• Stored-energy me-

chanism via closingand opening spring

• Charging of springsmanually or electri-cally

• Storage of switchingsequence

In the event of an openingcommand being given after aclosing operation has beeninitiated, the moving contactsreturn to the open position andremain there even if the clos-ing command is sustained. Thismeans that the contacts of thecircuit-breaker module reachthe closed position under thesecircumstances, as is permittedby IEC 60 056 and VDE 0670.

NXACT VacuumCircuit-BreakerModule

Two different types of shuntrelease are available:• The 1st shunt release

3AY15 10 is normally includ-ed in the basic equipment ofthe circuit-breaker module.With this design, the electrictripping pulse is fed to the“OPEN” latching mechanismby means of a direct-actingsolenoid armature in order toopen the circuit-breakermodule.

• The 3AX11 01 release isfitted if more than one shuntrelease is required (2nd shuntrelease possible).With this design, the electri-cal operning command isboosted by means of a sole-noid armature unlatching astored-energy mechanismbefore being fed to the“OPEN” latching mechanismin order to open the circuit-breaker module. Shorteropening times are possiblewith this release than withthe 3AY15 10 type.

For the maximum possiblenumber of releases that maybe fitted, see selection andordering data in Part 2 of thiscatalog.

3AX11 03 undervoltage releaseAn undervoltage releasecomprises a stored-energymechanism, an unlatchingmechanism and an electro-magnetic system which ispermanently energized whilethe circuit-breaker module isclosed. If the voltage fallsbelow a predetermined value,unlatching of the release isenabled and the circuit-breakermodule is opened via thestored-energy mechanism.Manual tripping of theundervoltage release isgenerally performed with anNC contact in the trippingcircuit, but may also beperformed with an NO contactby short-circuiting the solenoidcoil. With this type of release,the short-circuit current islimited by the built-in resistors.

Undervoltage releases can alsobe connected to voltagetransformers. The circuit-breaker module is then trippedautomatically if the operatingvoltage drops to impermissiblylow levels.Unsuccessful attempts atclosing when the solenoid coilof the undervoltage release isnot energized can be pre-vented in the following ways:• By normally fitting electrical

local closing in conjunctionwith the undervoltagerelease

• By connecting the under-voltage release, operatedthrough an NO contact andclosing solenoid, to the sameoperating voltage.

Undervoltage release withdelayFor delayed tripping, the under-voltage release can be com-bined with type AN 1901stored-energy mechanisms (for AC) and type AN 1902 (forDC), both types manufacturedby Bender *. Adjustable delaytimes: 1 s, 1.8 s and 2.5 s.For combination with thestored-energy mechanisms,matched undervoltage releasesmust be fitted. The stored-energy mechanisms are notincluded in the scope of supplybut must be ordered separatelyfrom Bender *.

Current transformer-operatedreleaseConsisting of:• Stored-energy mechanism• Unlatching mechanism• Electromagnetic system.Current transformer-operatedreleases are used where noexternal auxiliary voltage(battery) is available. Tripping iseffected by means of aprotective relay (e.g. over-current-time protection) actingon the current transformer-operated release.

Two different current trans-former-operated releases areused:• 3AX11 02 current trans-

former-operated release with a rated current of 0.5 Awhich requires auxiliarytransformers (e.g. type 4AM5– see catalog sheet LSA2.2.6 “Auxiliary currenttransformers for differentialrelays for overhead lines,cables and transformers”) inaddition to the main currenttransformers.The stored-energy mecha-nism is unlatched when thetripping current is exceeded(90 % of the rated current ofthe current transformer-operated release), thuscausing the circuit-breakermodule to be opened.

• 3AX11 04 current trans-former-operated release, low-energy version for a trippingpulse of min. 0.1 Ws.It is always used in conjunc-tion with the 7SJ41 protec-tive system (independentovercurrent-time protectionwith three-phase currenttransformer) or with similarprotective systems.The protective system takesits supply and release energyfor the circuit-breaker modulefrom its own current trans-former and is thus notdependent on externalauxiliary voltages.The transformer currentensures that the protectiverelay is supplied with energyand fills an energy store, thecharge of which is availableas a tripping pulse at the timeof tripping. This tripping pulsewith ≥0.1 Ws is switched bythe command contact and iscapable of activating thecurrent transformer-operatedrelease.

Anti-pumping(mechanical and electrical)If constant CLOSE and OPENcommands are present at thecircuit-breaker module at thesame time, the circuit-breakermodule will return to the openposition after closing. It re-mains in this position until anew CLOSE command isgiven. In this manner, continualclosing and opening (= “pump-ing”) is prevented.

The extent of the secondaryequipment of the circuit-breaker module depends onthe particular application andoffers a great variety ofpossibilities to satisfy nearlyevery requirement. Allsecondary modules aredescribed below andcombination possibilities arestated in Part 2 of this catalog.

Releases

A release is a device whichtransfers commands from anexternal source, such as acontrol room, to the latchingmechanism of the circuit-breaker module so that it canbe opened or closed. Thevarious types of releasesavailable are described in detailbelow. The VDE designationsfor the devices are also given(in parentheses) when theydiffer from the terms used inthis catalog.

3AY15 10 closing solenoid(shunt-closing release)The closing solenoid unlatchesthe charged closing spring andthus closes the circuit-breakermodule electrically. It is avail-able for either DC or ACoperation.

Shunt release(shunt-opening release)Shunt releases are used forautomatic tripping of thecircuit-breaker module bysuitable protective relays andfor deliberate tripping byelectrical means. They areintended for connection to anexternal power supply (DC orAC) but, in special cases, mayalso be connected to a voltagetransformer for manualoperation.

Breaker tripping signal

The NO contact S6 makes briefcontact while the circuit-breaker module is opening andthis is often used to operate ahazard-warning system which,however, is only allowed torespond to automatic trippingof the circuit-breaker module.Therefore, the signal from theNO contact must be inter-rupted when the breaker isbeing opened intentionally.This is accomplished underlocal control with the S7 cut-out switch that is connected inseries with the NO contact(see circuit example on page1/12).

Position switch for signalling“closing spring charged”

The charging status of theclosing spring of the circuit-breaker module can be inter-rogated electrically by meansof the position switch.

Varistor module

When inductive loads are beingdisconnected in DC circuits, itis possible for switching over-voltages to be produced whichmay pose a risk to solid-statedevices. This risk can beeliminated by connectingvaristors across the induct-ances of the circuit-breakermodule (motor, closingsolenoid, releases).A suitable varistor module foroperating voltages ≥ 60 V DCto 250 V DC is fitted whenordered. It limits the over-voltage to approx. 500 V.

Electrical local closing

In the standard version, thecircuit-breaker modules can beremote-closed electrically. Inaddition, they can be mechani-cally closed locally by directunlatching of the closingspring. In this version, the closingcircuit of the circuit-breakermodule is triggered electricallyby means of a pushbutton.This arrangement allowsinterlocking conditions arisingfrom the system to beaccepted in the “local” modeso that the circuit-breakercannot close accidentally. Forexample, the circuit-breakermodule can be interlockedthrough the auxiliary contact ofa disconnector (see section oninterlocking and also schematicdiagrams on page 1/12).Circuit-breaker modules fittedwith electrical local closingcannot be closed mechanically.

Interlocking

Mechanical interlockingThe sensing devices on thesystem side check the statusof the circuit-breaker moduleand prevent it from closing ifthe associated disconnector isnot in a position to allow safeoperation. The system alsoprevents the disconnector frombeing operated while thecircuit-breaker module isclosed.Similarly, the mechanicalinterlocking system can also beused for interlocking breakertrucks or withdrawable circuit-breakers.

Electrical interlockingCircuit-breaker modules can beincorporated in electromag-netic interlocking schemes forfeeders and substations. Withelectrical interlocking, a mag-netic lockout is fitted to thedisconnector or its operatingmechanism. The lockout is operated through an auxiliarycontact of the circuit-breakermodule so that the discon-nector can only be operatedwhen the circuit-breakermodule is open.The circuit-breaker module, onthe other hand, is controlled bythe disconnector or its oper-ating mechanism so that it mayonly be closed when the dis-connector is in its end posi-tions. For this purpose, theoperating mechanism must befitted with the electrical localclosing system (see section onelectrical local closing).

Operating cycle counter

An operating cycle counter isintegrated in the control boardto indicate the number ofoperating cycles performed bythe circuit-breaker module. Thenumber of operating cycles canbe used to derive the operatinglife or servicing cycles.

Secondary connections(for control circuit)64-pole plug connector (e.g.type Han 64 D of Hartingmake) with crimping con-nections (a Harting crimpingtool is necessary to connectthe wiring).

No tools are required forplugging and unplugging theupper and lower plug parts.The schematic diagrams showthe factory assignment of thesecondary connections. Allcircuit-breaker modules havethe same assignment ofterminals if they have the samesecondary connections, withthe result that it is easy toreplace any breaker modules.Other terminal assignments onrequest.

with reference to:– IEC 60071– IEC 60721– IEC 60298

The NXACT vacuum circuit-breaker modules are suitablefor site altitudes up to 3000 m.They can be used in buildingswith poor heat insulation or lowheating capacity, heated orcooled, without temperaturemonitoring. The heating orcooling system can fail forseveral days. The specifiedvalues are referred to sea level.When installed at altitudesabove 1000 m, an allowancemust be made for the resultingdecrease in insulating capacity(see correction factor a in thediagram below).

Ambient conditions

The NXACT vacuum circuit-breaker module meets thefollowing ambient conditionsaccording to IEC 60721-3-3,1990:• Climatic:– Class 3K4 (minimum

temperature limit -25 °C)– Class 3K6 (without ice
