HIGH VOLTAGE CIRCUIT-BREAKER TYPE ED

The high voltage circuit-breaker type ED is a detached SF6 circuit-breaker for outdoor
erection in open substations.
The circuit-breaker is built up of three separate poles, which consist of three main
parts. At the bottom, the mechanism housing is made of aluminium. The hollow post
insulators, through which operating insulators run and on top, the breaking units.
Each breaking unit consists of a hollow insulator which together with an upper and a
lower flange constitute the casing and a lower and an upper current path with a
contact system. The moving contacts are assembled on the lower current path
whereas the fixed contacts are assembled on the upper one.
The circuit-breaker poles to ED SK are permanently filled with SF6 - gas, normally to
the pressure 0.7 MPa absolute at 200C. For monitoring the pressure the circuitbreaker is equipped with a density monitor. The poles are mounted on a common
supporting frame, consisting of a front and a rear pole beam. The latter is mounted
on two supports which are anchored to the foundations. The beams and supports are
hot-dip galvanized.
The pressure rise and gas flow which are necessary for extinguishing the arc during
the course of breaking are produced partly by compression of the gas, partly by the
energy given from the arc.
At the opening operation, the moving contact is pulled downwards over the fixed
piston and the confined quantity of gas is compressed and at high speed forced out
through the springs in the upper end of the cylinder. At the same stage the arcing
contacts are separated and an arc occurs. A specially formed nozzle leads the
outflowing gas towards the arc. The gas is allowed to pass both downwards through
the moving arcing contact and upwards past the fixed arcing contact.
For the continuous current there are separate contacts which are not affected by the
arc at breaking.
At closing operation, the moving contact is pushed upwards at which time the contacts engage and the cylinder is filled with gas again.
The ED SK circuit-breaker is operated by a motor-operated spring closing device
type FSA.

Page 1

1. Safety precautions
Follow the local high-voltage safety regulations. Put the breaker in the OPEN
position.
Disconnect and earth the high voltage side.
Disconnect the operating and heating voltage.
Work on the insulators of the breaker or live parts as well as transport and
dismounting of complete breaking poles may not be done before the breaker is
emptied to a max. pressure of 0.15 MPa abs. Before the opening of the normally
pressurised vessel, it shall be emptied completely to atmospheric pressure. If the
gas is emptied into the free air, this shall be done through a dust and absorption filter.
See under clause Emptying of gas.

2. Cleanliness
Very high dielectric requirements are placed on the SF6 gas and on the insulating
parts and correspondingly also on their cleanliness and dryness.
On all work on the open circuit breaker, be aware that not only dirt but also air
moisture and hand perspiration are deleterious.
If for any reason gas spaces or parts thereof are exposed to air for longer than 24
hours, the gas spaces are to be closed temporarily and filled with SF 6 gas to Pabs =
120 kPa (1.2 bar). Single parts are to be sealed in plastic bags and kept in storage.
Unused SF6 gas is non-poisonous, odourless and colourless. However, it is heavier
than air and with substantial outflow, it gathers easily in low situated spaces like
cable trenches, tanks and such.
With large amount of SF 6 in these spaces, there is a risk of suffocation due to lack
of oxygen.
-

Perform overhaul work only with adequate room ventilation.

The decomposition products which are formed in the breaking elements are in
combination with humidity corrosive and can cause skin, eye and mucous
membrane irritation. During the opening and internal cleaning of the breaker, a
close fitted mask with a filter against fine dust and acid gases, protective
plastic or rubber gloves and a long sleeved overall shall be used.

The dust (decomposition products), that is formed in the breaker, shall be sucked
with a vacuum cleaner provided with a dust filter and wiped off with a cloth that is
sprinkled with ethanol or toluol.
All the dust as well as the used absorption agent is stored in a sealed container and
is disposed off as chemical waste according to the valid provisions. During waste
disposal and handling with decomposition products, it is necessary to wear
protective gloves.
Drying cloths, protective gloves and vacuum cleaner bags shall be rinsed carefully
with plenty of water.

1HYB800001-30 Rev. A
Page 2

3. Cleaning
A. Insulator with paint-treated plastic outside surface, silicon rubber sheds or porcelain insulator.
Rinse the outside surfaces thoroughly with water and let it dry well before the
breaker is opened.
The end and inside surfaces are cleaned with a non fluffy drying cloth soaked with
ethanol.
Cleaned insulators must be touched only with clean protective gloves (plastic or
rubber).
Cover the end surfaces of the insulators with a strong plastic foil to protect from
recontamination.
B. Single parts
Vacuum immediately after disassembly with a vacuum cleaner with a fine dust
filter. Wipe off persistent dust with a non fluffy cloth.
Remove stubbornly adhering dust with a cloth soaked with ethanol.
Cover cleaned details with plastic foil or put in plastic bag.
Details from spaces not filled with SF6 shall be cleaned with ethanol and then left
to dry in air. Then they are packed in plastic bags.

4. Waste disposal
All the dust as well as the used absorption agent is stored in a sealed container and
is disposed off as chemical waste according to the valid provisions. During waste
disposal and handling with decomposition products, it is necessary to wear protective
gloves.

5. Emptying of gas
The breaker is evacuated by means of the gas treatment equipment, that purifies and
compresses the gas, so that it can be reapplied.
Mixed gas - SF 6 + N2 - can only be reapplied if the mixing conditions are under
control.
After the evacuation, the breaker is filled with nitrogen up to atmospheric pressure
and after this, evacuated again. In this way, the eventual free drifting dust in the
breaker is removed.
Finally the breaker is filled again with dry nitrogen up to atmospheric pressure after
which it is ready for dismounting and transport to the workshop.
NOTE
If work on the circuit-breaker only affects the outside of the breaker, for example
cleaning of the insulators, it is sufficient to empty the breaker down to a pressure of
0.15 MPa abs, normal working pressure.

The circuit-breaker should be transported in their transport units, and particularly
never be transported unpacked. While choosing conveying equipment, the
following should be observed :

Packing case markings

The distance and road conditions

The units should be transported in such a way that they are

-

Prevented from standing in water

Not exposed to rough handling and damages
Covered by at least tarpaulin, protected against water

Every transport unit must be fixed during the transport. The tying must be so
arranged that the transport units can not move in any direction. Velocity should be
adapted to the road conditions. Violent acceleration or retardation can cause damage
to the contents without damaging the packing.

1HYB800001-31 Rev. A
Page 2

Lifting
Before lifting, the symbols on the transport unit (such as centre of gravity, weight
etc.) should be observed. The transport units should be lifted with a lifting machine
provided with forks of slings (see fig. 2). If a crane is utilised slings should be used.
The units may not be rolled or dropped from the conveying or lifting equipment.

Figure 2 Lifting a transport unit

Lifting the operating mechanism out of the transport unit
The operating mechanisms FSA should be lifted by the lifting devices on top of the
cubicle. Lifting slings should never be used around the operating mechanism (see fig.
3)

Figure 3 Lifting the operating mechanism

Lifting the breakers out of the transport units
Lifting the breakers out of the transport units is only necessary just before erection
(see product information, which can be found in the cubicle of the operating
mechanism). If they are going to be stored, see Storage prior to erection.

1HYB800001-31 Rev. A

Stacking
Transport units with different widths may not be stacked (the pressure may break the
cover of the lower transport units. It should be noted that stacking causes sideways
instability, and therefore the load has to be fixed, i.e. prevented from dropping, rolling
or falling. It is not allowed to stack more than three transport units.

Figure 4 Stacking

1HYB800001-32 Rev. A

Storage prior to erection

General
Circuit breakers intended for outdoor operation are generally delivered in units which
are determined for transport reasons. Intermediate storage of these units should be
avoided. If it is not possible to avoid intermediate storage, they should be stored
indoors or under a roof. They must also be stored above ground level to prevent
water damage. On arrival, it is important that plastic sheets are removed in order to
prevent corrosion by condensate water (except for the spare parts).
Storage in a humid climate without proper ventilation may lead to discoloration of the
galvanised surface. This discoloration is commonly known as white rust, consisting
mainly of zinc oxide and zinc hydroxide and is a result of a chemical process
between the pure zinc on the surface and moisture.
The long term corrosion protection is not influenced, since the iron-zinc layer below
the surface remains unaffected. The presence of white rust is no reason for rejection
of goods.
On arrival, each unit should be checked in the following way :
-

delivery is in accordance with order and delivery documents

any damage in delivery, and material loss

In cases where damages are detected or suspected, the units should be opened and
damages should be photographed. Both damages and shortages should be reported.
All details should be rationally stored so that they are always available. In general, all
material should be stored in an approved storage (note 1), exceptions are given in
the text below. The ambient air should not be heavily contaminated by dust, smoke,
corrosive or combustible gases, vapours or salt, otherwise the equipment has to be
cleaned before erection.
For storage the original transport unit may be used, but the plastic sheeting should
be removed. The coupling joints of the assemblies, as well as all connections, are
fitted with transport covers or protective caps which shall not be removed until
immediately before erection.
Operating mechanism (for circuit breakers)
The operating mechanism should be unpacked on arrival. If it is not going to be
stored in an approved storage (note 1), the heating elements must be connected and
supplied permanently with power to protect the control equipment from corrosion or
freezing damages.
Circuit Breakers
The breakers should be stored in their original transport unit, where they are well
protected from damages. The units shall be prevented from standing in water. The
breakers may be stored outdoors, except for the EDI-breaker, which should be stored
in an approved store. If the breakers are stored outdoors they should be covered with
a tarpaulin. (Note 1)

1HYB800001-32 Rev. A
Page 2

The tarpaulin should not be placed directly on the galvanised surface. An air gap
should be left to prevent condensation. Condensation that may occur should be selfdraining.
For the outdoor breakers, the minimum ambient temperature allowed is -300C. For the
indoor breakers, the minimum ambient temperature allowed is -50C.
Spare parts
The spare parts shall be stored indoors in an approved storage (note 1), in their
original units. This is in particular valid for rubber parts (sealings etc.), which also
have to be protected against light and sun, in order to prevent them from ageing.
Gaskets can be stored only for limited periods, so avoid storage of these parts.
Structures may be stored outdoors.
Notes 1 :
We define an approved storage as a storage with
-

roof
solid ground
relative humidity less than 50%
temperature 20 0C (+/-100C)

Introduction
SF6 gas has become the predominant breaking and insulation media for circuitbreakers of puffer and Auto-PufferTM types.
At low ambient temperatures, below - 300 or -400C (depending on filling pressure),
there is a risk of condensation of SF6 gas resulting in drastic density changes. The
temporary condensation at low temperatures is not dangerous but can cause
problems in density monitoring and, temporarily, some reduction of breaking capacity.
One way of avoiding this is to fill sulphur hexafluoride SF6 to a lower density and fill
up to rated density with nitrogen N2 or tetrafluormethane CF4.
Information on characteristics and regulations for SF6 gas, N2 gas and CF4 gas is
stated in this product information.

2.

Thermal and Dielectric Breaking Capacity

When breaking short-circuit currents the circuit-breaker must withstand two separate
stresses at somewhat different times, See Figure A.
2. Dielectric region

Figure A.
Stress on a circuit-breaker at breaking moment

1HYB800001-33 Rev. A
Page 2

These stresses are :

1.

Thermal range

At current zero the hot arc channel shall be cooled down quickly to a temperature
which makes it electrically non-conductive, Figure B. Cooling capacity depends on
how quickly the current decreases towards zero, di/dt, and on the rate-of-rise of the
recovery voltage after current zero, du/dt, Figure A.
2.

Dielectric range

After current zero the circuit-breaker must, for a short moment, withstand the full top
value of the transient recovery voltage without dielectric breakdown.
Breaking of terminal fault often gives low rate-of-rise of the recovery voltage and is
often a problem in the dielectric range.
Breaking of distance fault is a problem usually concentrated to the thermal area.
SF6 is an electronegative gas of high density with good characteristics in both the
thermal and dielectric ranges.
Mixed gas filling of SF6 and N 2 gives a somewhat deteriorated thermal breaking
capacity as well as a slightly deteriorated dielectric breaking capacity compared with
only SF6 gas filling. Mixed gas filling with nitrogen often results in a reduction of
breaking capacity, e.g., a rated breaking current of 40 kA is reduced one step to 31.5
kA. The deteriorated dielectric characteristics can be compensated by nitrogen gas
filling to a slightly higher pressure than with only SF6 gas.
Mixed gas filling of SF6 and CF6 results in practically unchanged thermal and
dielectric breaking characteristics. A mixed gas filled circuit-breaker with SF 6/CF4
often retains its breaking capacity down to the lowest ambient temperature.

3.

Chemical Reactions in Circuit-Breakers

When an arc burns in the arc chamber, part of the SF 6 gas decomposes but is
quickly restored to SF6 gas when the temperature falls. Heat from the arc added to
gas, contact material, nozzle material, as well as small amounts of moisture residue,
give chemical reactions. The most important of these are :

Degraded gases which can appear in SF6 breakers after a number of years service
are SOF2, CF4, SiF 4 and SO2.
The powder which remains in the breaker poles consists of formation of fluorides.
In the gas analysis of mixed gas circuit-breakers with SF6/N2 and SF6/CF4 no other
degraded products than the above mentioned have been identified.

4.

Criteria for choice of mixed Gas

By mixed gas is always understood a mixture of SF6 and nitrogen gas or SF6 and CF4.
Nitrogen gas and CF4 are both easily available at gas suppliers. CF4 is comparatively
expensive but it is a natural choice since this gas is formed already when the arc
erodes teflon nozzles in SF6 circuit-breakers. See formulae (2) and (4).

This table is only for information. It is always the relevant product information for
respective circuit breakers which is valid.

5.

Filling mixed Gas

Mixed gas is always filled in such a sequence that SF6 is filled first and then CF4 or
nitrogen gas is filled up to rated pressure at +20 0C according to the rating plate.
By filling SF 6 first a satisfactory gas mixture, without layers of gas, is always
obtained. Otherwise, the mixing process takes a long time since it is based on
diffusion and convection. At gas loss, for example due to leakage, refill with correct
mixing proportions and always with SF 6 gas first.

6.

Measuring Mixing Proportions

Mixing proportions for mixed filling can be measured by DILO SF6 Percentage
Measuring Device 3-027.
The instrument measures the sound velocity of the gas mixture and it is calibrated for
SF6/N2 gas. The instrument shows directly on the display the volume of the SF6 part.
If the instrument is used to measure SF6/CF4 gas mixture, the result shown on the
display must be corrected according to figure C. (Example: If 51% is read on the
instrument, the SF 6 part is 0% and the CF4 part 100%)

SPILLAGE AND DEGASSING

Airing
Dust and filters shall be stored sealed and handled as chemical refuse according to
local regulations.
MEASURES AT FIRE
Gas containers near the fire must be removed immediately or cooled with
water.

9.

Environmental Effect
SF6 and CF4 gases can leak out into the surrounding environment due to leakage in
the circuit-breaker.
CF 4 and SF6 are very stable gases and make no detectable contribution to ozone
destruction and photochemical smog, and they have negligible influence on the green
house effect. The latter applies especially when used in circuit-breakers where, from
the global point of view, gas volumes are small.

Safety Regulations
When working on high-voltage circuit-breakers the below-mentioned risks must be
taken into consideration and corresponding safety measures taken.

RISK

1.

MEASURE

Work next to high-voltage

Warning plate placed inside the door to the

operating device
Disconnect and earth near the workplace. If work
must be carried out near energized parts of the
plant, it has to follow local safety regulations of the
organisation responsible for the circuit-breaker.

2.

Work on ladders and platforms

The work shall follow the directions of the Authority

for occupational safety and health. Avoid work in
severe weather conditions which entails a great
deal of climbing for short periods.

3.

Work with low-voltage.

Both D. C. and A. C. voltage may have been
connected on the operating device.

Do not connect control or heating voltage until all

connection work is completed.

4.

Squeezing risk in operating device and

link system.

Warning plate is placed on the supporting frame.

The spring operated device has energy

stored in the closing spring. The opening
spring, which is on the mechanism housing of
pole C1, or on every pole for one-pole
operation, has energy stored. The device can
be activated by heavy vibrations or
unintentional slight touch on mechanical latch
parts.

5.

Work on pressurized porcelain insulators.

Normally, the work pressure is up to 0.7 MPa.
Damage in the porcelain can cause the
porcelain to break,

No work must be carried out unless the closing and

opening springs are uncharged and the circuitbreaker in position OFF O disconnect voltage to
the motor.
-

The operating device must not be operated

unless it is connected to the circuit-breaker
and the electric cables are connected. The
circuit-breaker shall be filled with SF 6 gas to
a pressure of 0.7 MPa. The closing springs
should for safety reasons be uncharged
during transport and when the circuit-breaker
is off duty.

Work close to the insulators of the circuit-breaker,

which entails risk to damage the porcelain, must
not be carried out until the gas pressure has been
lowered to 0.125 MPa absolute pressure.

Disposal and recycling

1.1

General
ABB Limited attempts to minimize environmental impact during the entire products
service life. Environment aspects are held in focus during technical and product
development. We always try to consider the eco-cycle while the materials impact on
the environment and possibilities of recycling are observed. Manufacturing processes
are selected that are as gentle as possible on the environment.

1.2

Taking care of spent equipment

Spent products should be taken out of service in an environmentally correct manner
according to the following instructions.
When discarding used equipment a great deal of material and the energy content of
the material can, after sorting and cleaning, be recycled. The degree of material that
can be recycled varies depending on the technical resources and experience
available in respective countries.
Non-recyclable components shall be left at an approved recycling centre for
destruction or disposal.

1.3

The circuit-breakers component parts

A circuit-breaker contains approximately 30 weight % metal, primarily iron, steel and
aluminium. Rubber and different plastics make up approximately 0.5% each and
chemicals and gas less than 0.5%. The greatest weight share in a circuit-breaker,
virtually 70%, is made up of porcelain.

1.4

SF 6-gas
The SF6-gas must be emptied before discarding a circuit-breaker. Care shall be
exercised in accordance with applicable regulations with all handling of SF 6-gas, to
prevent gas leakage. The gas can be taken care of in different ways depending on
the circumstances :

Regenerated on site, and reused in other equipment

Sent to a gas supplier for regeneration

Sent for destruction at a special waste disposal centre

In those cases where the circuit-breaker is filled with mixed gas, the SF6-gas is
separated from the mixture for continued handling as set out above. Alternatively, the
gas mixture can be sent for destruction without being separated.
ABB Limited will willingly take care of the gas when the circuit-breaker is to be
discarded.

1HYB800001-36 Rev. A
Page 2

1.5

Porcelain
Porcelain can, after cleaning, be left for disposal or used for other purposes, for
example, as a filling material.

1.6

Electronics
Leave electronic equipment at an approved recycling company or sort out its
component parts and take care of them accordingly.

1.7

Metals
Sort metals according to type and surface finish and leave at an approved recycling
company. After the removal of any paint or other surface treatment, the metal can
generally be melted down and used in new products. Many iron, steel and aluminium
parts are large and easy to identify, for example, the frame and mechanism housing.
ABB Limited aims for a reduction in the use of noble metal, or with discharge
environmentally hazardous metals. Recycling of these is extremely important.
Noble metals such as copper and silver are expensive and only occur is small
quantities in the earths crust. Copper is primarily used in the current paths, puffer,
contactors and cables. Silver plating of contactors can occur. Some metals can cause
damage if discharged. This applies, among others, to copper, but also to zinc and
nickel which are used sparingly in the form of surface treatment.

1.8

Plastics
Separate different types of plastic and leave at an approval recycling centre or
recycling company. The energy content in thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics
can frequently be recovered through combustion in purpose built installations.
Generally, thermoplastics can be melted down and used again without degrading
quality too much. Composites can be fractionised and used as filling agent in other
materials or be left for disposal.
Composites found in small quantities in isolators, pipes and cable glands consist of
thermosetting plastic. Thermoplastics can be found in components such as guide
rings, belts bushings and support rings. Thermoplastic in ferrules, nozzles, pipes and
collars contains fluorine and is not suitable for recycling, however, it can be disposed
of without the risk of leaking hazardous substances.

1HYB800001-36 Rev. A
Page 3

1.9

Oils and greases

Empty oils, grease and the like before discarding and leave at an approved recycling
centre or at a recycling company. Oil waste can be separated into oil, water and
different contamination through the use of gravimetric forces. In many cases the oil
can be reused. Alternatively, the oils energy content can be recovered through
combustion in purpose built installations.
Oil can be found in dashpots and grease is used as a lubricant.

1.10 Rubber
Rubber can be left at an approved recycling centre either for disposal or reused for
different purpose.
Rubber can be found in seals.

1.11 Other materials

Sort and leave other materials at an approved recycling centre.

GENERAL
1.1 Validity
This document covers high-voltage circuit-breakers, type EDF SKS.
Type designation EDF SKS means that the circuit-breaker has been adapted to
synchronous coupling. The adaptation is carried out in the mechanical arm and link
system in the circuit-breaker mechanism housing, so that there is a time difference in
contact closing or contact opening.
When connecting capacitor stacks, for example, the following time differences can occur.
Earthed capacitor stack
Pole A1
+6.66 ms
(after pole C1)

Pole B1
+3.33 ms
(after pole C1)

Pole C1
0 for 50 Hz

Masses
Information about masses for a three-pole circuit-breaker can be found in the order
documentation and delivery documents. For internal transport, see fig. 1/2.

1.5

Storage
The circuit-breakers intended for outdoor operation are usually dismantled in suitable
units for delivery. Before erection, these units should as far as possible be stored
indoors or under roof. If the units are to be stored outdoors, they shall be blocked up so
that they do not stand in water. If the units are to be stored outdoors for a long time,
they should be covered with tarpaulins and have their heating elements switched on.

1HYB800001-54 Rev. A

DESIGN (fig. 2/1)

- Circuit-breaker type EDF SKS 1-1 is a three-pole SF6 circuit-breaker.
The circuit-breaker consists mainly of:
-

2.1

three breaker poles 10171 with rating plates A1, B1 and C1

support frame 10172
control cubicle with spring operating mechanism and connecting rod 10173
density monitor 10112
breaker support 10174

Breaker pole (fig. 3/la, b:1,2,3)

The breaker pole consists mainly of:
-

upper terminal flange 10099 *)

breaker chamber insulator 10106
fixed contact compl. 10030
moving contact compl. 10013
lower terminal flange 10108
post insulator
link gear
10185

*) On this flange there is a cover which can easily be exchanged by a safety disc
unit, if the customer so wishes.
The poles are filled with SF6 gas (transport pressure) and connected to a header
block via tubes (fig. 4/la,c).

2.2

SF 6 gas system (fig. 4/1a,c)

The gas system consists of:
- an SF6 gas density monitor 10112 with header block 10118
- check valve 00112 (fig. 7/5)
- SF6 connection line L10177/a, L10177/b and L10178

FUNCTION
3.1

Control and monitoring (Fig. 3/2)

The electrical principle drawing shows how the switching commands enter the control
circuit of the circuit-breaker, the monitoring units which are built in to sense any
interference which might occur, and the signals which are then triggered.
The control circuit itself can be seen in the order-related circuit diagram.
Monitoring unit:
-

Gas density
The density monitor 10112 (temperature compensated pressure monitor)
monitors the insulation gas pressure in the breaker poles and sends, via its
auxiliary contactor, the signal filling of SF6 gas if gas losses have occurred. If
the gas pressure decreases to a value below that shown in the blocking
pressure curve, fig. 5/1, the CLOSE and OPEN operations are blocked and
simultaneously an alarm signal is given.

1HYB800001-54 Rev. A
Page 3

3.2

Switching operations (fig. 3/1a, b)

3.2.1 Starting Conditions
-

SF6 gas is filled to the rated pressure

The operating mechanism is in breaking position b2 (fig. 2/1), i.e. closing spring
charged and in OPEN position.

3.2.2 CLOSING operation (fig.3/1b)

-

The switching command is issued via a control element CLOSE. The

operating mechanism is then tripped and operates the moving contacts upwards
via the mechanical transmission. Thereby first arc contact g-h is closed and,
thereafter, the rated current contact k-l.

3.2.3 OPENING operation (fig. 3/1a)

-

The switching command is issued via a control element OPEN. The

operating mechanism is then tripped and operates the moving contacts
downwards via the mechanical transmission. Thereby, first the operating current
contact k-l is opened and, thereafter, the arc contact g-h. During this
movement the piston compresses the gas in the cylinder. The arc which rises
between the contacts increases the compression pressure. In the zero current
area a gas flow occurs, which blows intensively on the arc and extinguishes it.

ERECTION
4.1 General
-

All adjustments have been carried out in the works.

All moving parts which shall be assembled together have already been adjusted
and fixed in correct position in the works.

Transport packing for breaker poles should be suitably kept to facilitate transport,
if necessary, at later overhaul.

Breaker poles are filled with insulation gas Pabs. = 150 kPa (~ 1.5 bar) in order to
prevent any moisture absorption.

4.1.1 Preparation for erection

The following shall be prepared and procured before erection:
-

Crane with a lifting capacity of approx. 850 kg and a hoist height of at least 4 m
above floor level.

Lifting ropes

Dimension drawing, erection drawings and circuit diagram.

Circuit-breaker material according to erection drawings.

Torque wrench 6...200 Nm with socket 24 mm (connection 3/8").

Open-end/ring type wrenches for M6-16 and 1/2" UNC as well as open-end wrench
for 36 mm.

Normal thermometer for ambient temperature.

Gas filling equipment and an SF6 gas cylinder

SF6 leak detection instrument

1HYB800001-54 Rev. A
Page 4

4.2 Erection procedure

-

Lift the completely assembled circuit-breaker by crane according to fig. 4/2.

- Check the SF 6 gas pressure by pressing the disc of the check valve inwards
with a 5 pin. A distinct blow-off sound from the pole shall be heard. If there is no
blow-off sound, the pole has a leak which must be repaired.
Place frame support 10174 on the foundation. The top supporting surfaces, where the pole
beam is mounted, must be at the same level (horizontally). Screw the frame support to the
foundation. Observe tightening torque MD, fig. 2/1. The exact location is shown on the
installation layout. Observe the location of the holes for the earthing clamp (fig. 2/1).
Mount the frame 10172, with assembled poles 10171, on the support 10174 with
screw, nut and washer, 49069, 49622 and 89027. Observe the tightening torque
MD=190 Nm, fig. 4/1a:1, 2.
4.2.1 Fitting motor-operated spring closing mechanism (fig. 4/1a:1,2)
Place the mechanism on a wooden structure in correct position for mounting between
the frames.
-

Lift up the operating mechanism by the four upper eyes, place the bolts for the
operating mechanism in the holes intended for them and fasten with enclosed
fasteners h (note the MD). Make sure the middle pole is not damaged by the sling.

CAUTION
During lifting the upper joint head of the connecting rod must be fitted into the fork on
the actuating lever 10154.
4.2.2 Fitting the connecting rod
- Starting condition: Indication of circuit-breaker position and spring charging shows
positions b1 and uncharged, respectively, (fig. 2/1).
- Couple the operating mechanism and circuit-breaker to each other in OPEN
position, i.e. turn the actuating lever on the circuit-breaker towards the operating
mechanism until the actuating lever, 10154, stops and the hole in the connecting
rod, f, correspond (fig. 4/1b).
-

However, if holes do not correspond, the operating rod length must be adjusted.

This is done by releasing the lower fasteners g (fig. 4/1a) and by lowering the cubicle.

Release locknuts h and k of the operating rod (fig. 4/1b) , turn operating rod to
adjust length. Tighten locknuts by holding the operating rod (Observe MD)

4.2.3 Fitting density monitor and cables

Connect the density monitor 10112, density monitor cables and pressure gauge, if
any, according to fig. 2/1, 4/1:1,2.
4.2.4 High-voltage connections (fig. 4/1:1,2)
The assembly parts for high-voltage connections consist of screw M12 (8.8) and at
least 1 washer 13/28x3 mm, 1 locking washer 13.5/28x1.6 mm on each side of the
screw. (Observe the tightening torque MD)

1HYB800001-54 Rev. A

5. Commissioning
All data which are checked or measured are to be entered in a commissioning record
and preserved for comparisons.
The SF 6 gas pressure can be seen on the circuit breaker nameplate.

5.1 Starting conditions

The erected circuit breaker is isolated from the high-voltage system and earthed according to regulations. The control current circuits are connected to the low-voltage system.
5.2.1 Filling of SF 6 gas to nominal filling pressure (Fig. 5/1)
As the circuit-breaker poles are delivered vacuum processed and filled with SF6 gas
at a transport pressure of 0.150 MPa abs (200C), during commissioning only one
filling of SF6 gas is required, to top up pressure up to the filling pressure given on the
rating plate.
It is appropriate to carry out pressuring directly from an SF 6 gas bottle. In order to
avoid risks at the first filling, due to possible transport damages to the porcelain, the
gas bottle with filling equipment shall be placed as far from the circuit-breaker as
possible, and preferably behind some shield. Pole columns are connected to the
header block by pipes. Connect the hose from the gas filling equipment to the SF 6
gas filling valve on the header block L10118 (Fig. 4/1c).
-

SF6 gas filling (Fig. 4/1d)

Place gas cylinder (1) in a protected area.

Check the filling pressure and any gas mixture (at ambient temperature lower
than -300C) on the circuit breakers rating plate.
Fit the regulator (3) on the gas cylinder using appropriate coupling (2) supplied
with gas filling device. Use the pressure gauge (9) for filing gas in circuit breaker.

Lubricate the sealing rings supplied with density monitor (7) with grease G.

Fit the density monitor on the gas valve (8) on the breaker.

Connect coupling (4) supplied loose with gas filling bag to the non-return valve
on the hose of gas filling device.

Connect above assembly to the circuit breakers gas valve (5).

Open regulator to fill gas in circuit breaker to rated pressure as per fig. 5/1.

Allow the pressure to stabilise in the circuit breaker for some time. Check the
pressure and adjust if necessary.

Dismantle the hose coupling assembly from the gas valve on the circuit breaker.

Close the valve on the gas cylinder.

Disconnect regulator with hose from gas cylinder. Breaker is now ready for
functional test as per section 5.3.

In the filling process the dependence of the nominal pressure on temperature (Fig. 5/
1) must definitely be taken into account. After a temperature equalization period of
approx. 1 hour, check the pressure and correct if necessary by adding or releasing
gas. Check all sealing joints on the breaker poles and the gas supply system for
leaks with a leak detector. Repair any leaks found according to chapter 6.

1HYB800001-54 Rev. A
Page 6

5.2.2 Filling mixed gas to rated pressure

When the circuit-breaker is erected in a climate with temperatures below -30C, fill
mixed gas instead of pure SF6.
In order to avoid condensation at temperatures below -30C, mix the SF6 gas
with CF4 (carbon tetrafluoride) or N2 (nitrogen gas). The CF 4 gas has good breaking
capabilities, like SF6, while N2 gas often reduces the breaking capacity.

The rating plate states the total filling pressure for mixed gas. The breaker poles are
delivered vacuum processed or filled to pressure 0.15 MPa abs. (20C). When
commissioning, first fill the SF 6 gas proportion, 0.36 MPa abs. at 20C, and thereafter N2 or CF4 proportions up to the total filling pressure according to the
rating plate.
Normally, gas filling is:
with SF6/N2 at 20C
0.36 MPa SF6 + 0.34 MPa N2 = 0.7 MPa abs.
with SF6/CF4
0.36 MPa SF6 + 0.34 MPa CF4 = 0.7 MPa abs.
When filling gas after possible leakage, refill with SF6 and N2 or CF4, respectively,
in the proportions stated above. For example, leakage to blocking level 0.6 MPa
abs. entails refilling with SF6/N2.
SF6 gas 0.36 0.1 ~ 0.051 Mpa SF6 at 20C
0.7
N2 gas 0. 34 0 .1~ 0 . 04 9 Mpa N2 at 20 C
0.7
At gas filling observe the influence of temperature on pressure. Fig. 5/1, curve 4, for
SF6 filling, and continued filling up to curve 1 for N2 or CF4 gases.

5.3 Function test

Before function testing, check with order-related circuit diagram. Check also the
connections. Thereafter, trial switching can be run from a sheltered place.
This trial switching shall take place only if:
-

the circuit-breaker is disconnected from the high-voltage network and earthed

according to regulations

SF6 gas or mixed gas pressure is at rated pressure

spring charging indicator on the spring operated mechanism is in position b2 (fig.

2/1) charged

1HYB800001-54 Rev. A

5.3.1 Trial switching operation (fig. 5/2a,b)

Measure the function times. Fig. 5/2a shows the principle diagram for such a
measurement. Thereby, each breaker pole has its own measuring circuit. The time
diagram in fig. 5/2b is solely intended as an explanation of the time expression used.
-

CLOSING operation (C) (fig. 5/2b) Closing time t1. 60 ms is the time from
switching command issue to contact closing in the arcing chamber. This shall be
measured on each breaker pole.

The time differences between the poles are:

Troubleshooting
Before any activity is started, the circuit breaker has to be isolated from the highvoltage system and earthed according to regulations. The control and heating
currents are to be interrupted.

6.1

SF 6 gas supply system

-

When the signal Replenishment of SF6 gas is given the gas pressure has to
be checked and insulating gas added. The correction can also be done while
the breaker is in service. If the density monitor responds inspite of nominal
pressure being present, the density monitor has to be checked.

If leaks are suspected in the SF6 system, proceed as follows :

-

SF6 gas lines :

Check all screwed and brazed joints with a leak detector. Replace faulty
brazings and fittings. Tighten leaking screwed connections.

Casing details (mechanism housing, flanges etc) :

In the case of minor leaks all sealing joints are to be checked with a leak
detector. In the case of major leaks, it is recommended that the leaks are
located using soapy water.

Crank Mechanism seals :

Leaking crankshaft seals must be replaced according to section 7.12.3.

6.2

Check SF 6 gas humidity (dew point).

Control Circuits
If a switching command is delayed, or executed only partially or not at all, proceed
as follows:
-

Switch off control and auxiliary current circuit.

Check the electrical terminals in the control circuits for tightness and proper
connection.

Compare wiring with wiring diagrams and correct if necessary.

Check coils of solenoid valve 10006, 10007 and if necessary change defective
coils. The cause of the overload has to be established and eliminated.

Switch on and check control voltage.

Switching or blocking occurs in the wrong pressure range.

Check the function of the circuit breaker when the density monitor is
disconnected. When it is confirmed that the density monitor is defective, it has
to be replaced.

Inspection intervals
Important checkpoints, acceptable tolerances, certain functional values for
adjustments, and recommended inspection intervals can be found in the following
inspection chart.
In corrosive or polluted air and in climates with a high relative humidity, it can be
necessary to halve the inspection intervals.
The specified inspection intervals should be considered as recommended guide

-

Place the depth gauge 00109 on the flange 10016 of the breaker chamber
insulator. Push the operating insulator 10049 upwards to stop. Place the straight
edge 00114 on the lower insulator flange. Measure the X measurement.

Calculation formula for the measurement A: A = X + 32.5 mm (~ 45.5)

Set the measurement A on compass 00115.

Remove the depth gauge 00109 and straight edge 00114.

The setting values of the two remaining poles are measured in the same manner but
the calculation formula for the measurement A is:
for pole marked A1: X - 29 mm (~ 51.5 mm)
for pole marked C1: X - 14 mm (~ 66.5 mm)
At unearthed capacitor stack, the circuit-breaker consists of one pole marked A1(Fig.
7/2a:1), and two poles, marked B1 and C1 (7/2a:3). B1 and C1 have the same setting
value A.
For assembly of the complete fixed contact 10030, see fig. 7/2a:2.
-

Apply grease S in the 0-ring groove on the upper terminal flange 10099/2 and the
two O-rings, before placing them in the groove.

Now mount the contact 10030 with flange on the upper flange of the breaker
chamber insulator and try to place the contact as far as possible in the middle of
the insulator. Use screw, washers and nut, 49756, 49621/2 and 89026/2.Observe
tightening torque 79 Nm.

Install the desiccant container filled with desiccant (see fig. 7/2a:1,2,3).

Finally, treat the O-rings and groove on the upper connection flange with grease
S and mount the cover 10056/1 with screw and washer 49756/2 and 89026/2.
(MD = 45 Nm).

Assembly of link gear 10185/2 (fig. 7/2a:2):

-

Move the operating insulator 10049 to position OPEN.

Apply S grease in the O-ring groove of the adapter plate and on the O-rings.
Place the O-rings in their grooves.

1HYB800001-54 Rev. A

Conversion of pressure units

100 kPa = 14.5 lbf/in2 = 1 bar
Conversion of :
Pabs (kPa) to Pe (gauge) lbf/in2
Pabs - 100 x 0.145 (kPa) = Pe (gauge) lbf/in2
Example : Rated filling pressure 1 at 200C (=680F) according to
table = 700 kPa (700-100) x 0.145 = 87 (gauge) lbf / in2

2.4

Lever EV 11848 is located on the output shaft and when it rotates, it transmits
the rotary movement to the connecting rod.

Connecting rod compl EV 11822 (FSA 1) constitutes the connection between

the operating mechanism and the circuit breaker. Bellows EV 11781 seals the
operating mechanism cubicle at the connecting rod.

Electrical components
In the operating mechanism, the auxiliary switches EV 11838, microswitches EV
11826 (motor limit switches), counters EV 11860 and CLOSE and OPEN magnet
coils are integrated in the basic mechanism.
In the mechanism type FSA 1, the electrical control and monitoring elements
necessary for the control of the circuit breaker are additionally arranged on the
switchgear panel.
These are essentially :
LOCAL-REMOTE selector switch
ON-OFF-switch
Motor protection switch
Auxiliary contacts
Miniature circuit breakers
The operating mechanism is equipped with a permanently turned-on heating resistor
to avoid the condensation inside the operating mechanism.
If the operating mechanism is to be stored outdoors for periods longer than four
weeks, the heater should be connected.

Function
3.1

3.2

Function of the basic mechanism (Fig. 7/1)

-

The main shaft EV 11815 serves as the drive shaft for charging the closing spring.

By means of lever EV 11848, the output shaft EV 11816 transmits the closing
or opening movement to the connecting rod, and hence to the circuit breaker.

The motor EV 11843 with reducer gear EV 11842 charges the operating
mechanism mechanically (tensions the closing spring). The motor limit switch,
EV 11826, opens when the closing spring is tensioned.

Hand crank EV 11812 (FSA 1) is used to charge the closing springs by hand
(e.g. on power failure).

On discharging, closing spring EV 11813 release uses the energy to charge

the opening spring via the output shaft, at the same time closing the breaker.

On discharging, opening spring EV 11814 release uses the energy to open the
breaker.

Closing unit EV 11811 holds the closing spring in the charged condition or it
releases it on command electrically via the CLOSE magnet coil or
mechanically (by hand).

Opening unit EV 11810 holds the opening spring in the charged condition or
releases it on command electrically via the OPEN magnet coil or mechanically
(by hand).

Hydraulic shock absorber EV 11840 is double acting. It assures a dampened

opening and closing operation.

Auxiliary switch EV 11838 is controlled by the position of the circuit breaker.

CLOSE and OPEN magnet coils are controlled by its contacts, i.e. the
commands for charging or discharging of the springs are tripped. They also
prevent the CLOSE magnet coils from being excited when the circuit breaker
is closed or the closing spring is not fully charged, or they prevent the OPEN
magnet coils from being energized when the circuit breaker is opened.

Heater EV 11854 (Fig.2/1) is provided in operating mechanism. The heating

resistor prevents condensation in the operating mechanism cubicle. The
heating resistor remains permanently turned on.

Charging the closing spring (Fig. 7/1)

In Fig. 7/1 the basic mechanism is shown with the circuit breaker in the position
OPEN (O) and with the springs in the discharged condition.
The closing spring EV 11813 is charged electrically by motor EV 11843 with
flanged-on reducing gear EV 11842, leading via coupling shaft EV 11841 to worm
gear EV 11819. The hand crank coupling EV 11817 prevents the hand crank from
turning during the electrical charging of the spring. The motor EV 11843 is also
decoupled (by coupling shaft EV 11841) when the spring is charged by hand.

1HYB800001-38 Rev. A
Page 5

As an emergency charging feature the closing spring EV 11813 is charged with hand
crank EV 11812 via bevel gear EV 11818 and worm gear EV 11819 by turning the
main shaft EV 11815. The main shaft EV 11815 is turned via worm wheel and pull
hook EV 11830 which engages the coupling ring EV 11829.
For charging the closing spring approx. 30 rotations of the hand crank are necessary.
On a 1800 rotation the crank EV 11828 runs through top dead center.
The pawl on the control disk EV 11820 is held by lever EV 11832, and the blocking
hook EV 11834 of the closing unit.
The switching cam of crank EV 11828 simultaneously reaches the motor limit switch
EV 11826 and cam follower lever EV 11827 is lifted.
The following functions are thereby initiated :
-

Turning off the power supply to the motor by the motor limit switch.

Preparation of the closing operation by the motor limit switch.

Spring charge indicator indicates Spring charged.

Time necessary for charging the spring at nominal tension : < 15 seconds.

3.3

Closing-operation

(the circuit breaker is closed)

When the engagement lever EV 11837 or the closing coil EV 11839 are actuated by
hand or electrically, the lever 11832 and the blocking hook EV 11834 of the closing
unit release the control disk pawl EV 11820.
By releasing the closing spring EV 11813, the main shaft EV 11815 rotates in the
direction shown on fig. 7/1 and in turn the control disk EV 11820 transmits the
rotational movement to the cam follower EV 11836 and operating lever EV 11835.
The output shaft EV 11816 is thereby rotated and the circuit breaker is closed via
operating lever EV 11848 and connecting rod compl. EV 11780/EV 11822.
Simultaneously, opening spring EV 11814 is charged.
When the output shaft has rotated by 60 o, the control disk pawl passes over the cam
follower EV 11836 and then the output shaft is released and can rotate in the
opposite direction.
However, this is not possible as long as holding cam EV 11847 is held by lever EV
11832 and blocking hook EV 11834 of the opening unit. The closing spring EV
11813 is automatically recharged again.
At power failure the closing spring can be recharged by hand with hand crank EV
11812 (FSA 1).
In this position the following indications are visible :
-

Position indicator : I (circuit breaker in closed position)

Spring charge indicator : Spring charged

1HYB800001-38 Rev. A
Page 6

The operating mechanism is ready for another rapid closing operation but the
interlock hook EV 11833 prevents the execution of a closing operation, while the
circuit breaker is closed. Both springs (EV 11813 and EV 11814) remain charged
and both shafts are blocked by the two blocking units (EV 111810 and EV 11811).

3.4

Opening-operation

(the circuit breaker is open)

The holding cam EV 11847 is released from lever EV 11832 and the opening unit
blocking hook EV 11834, when disengagement lever EV 11845 and opening coil EV
11846 and/or EV 11839 are actuated manually or electrically.
By discharging the opening spring EV 11814, the output shaft EV 11816 rotates 600,
thereby opening the circuit breaker via the connecting rod.
The interlock hook EV 11833 of the closing block is released at the end of the
opening operation and a new closing operation can be executed.

4.

Erection
4.1

Delivery
Each circuit breaker is delivered with its corresponding operating mechanism which
is packed separately or already mounted on the circuit breaker pole beams. At
delivery, both springs are uncharged and the circuit breaker is in open position.

4.2

Installation (Fig. 2/1)

If the operating mechanism is delivered separately, the following must be noted :
Mount the operating mechanism or operating mechanisms (which 1-pole operating
mechanism type) on the circuit-breaker pole beams. Make sure that the number of the
circuit breaker corresponds with the number on the operating mechanism rating plate.
The operating mechanism must be mounted on the circuit breaker according to the
instruction for erection and operation of the circuit breaker.
Connect electrical connections according to valid circuit diagram.
Never operate the operating mechanism if it is not connected to the circuit breaker (filled
with SF6-gas to 0.7 MPa) and the electrical connecting lines are not connected.

5.

Commissioning
5.1

Function tests
Function tests are performed after the commissioning work and immediately before
the circuit breaker is taken into service, as well as after overhaul work.
Function tests may only be performed with the circuit breaker disconnected from the
high-voltage system and filled with SF6-gas to 0.7 MPa (abs).
5.1.1 Manual operation
For this purpose hand crank EV 11812 is used for charging the closing spring. When
the closing spring has reached the desired tension, it automatically uncouples the
pull hook (EV 11830) of the main shaft, thereby releasing the hand crank.
During these trial switching operations, the position indicators (EV 11824 and EV
11825) and the counter must be tested for proper functioning.

1HYB800001-38 Rev. A
Page 7

5.1.2 Motor operation

The motor should be turned on only after the hand crank has been removed, even
though it is uncoupled automatically when the motor is started.
The charging of the closing springs starts as soon as the motor supply is switched
on. The supply of power to the motor is turned off automatically (by microswitch EV
11826) when the closing spring is adequately charged.

6.

Proper functioning of the operation mechanism should be tested by several

CLOSE and OPEN switching operations.

Also a test for correct functioning of the selector switch LOCAL-REMOTE

should be performed.

Motor running time for charging springs at rated voltage : < 15 seconds.
