GMset Protection monitoring and controlCurrent and voltage transformers and live line testing
In the protection system, the functional units are fitted with transformers designed tosupply the measurements and/or protection circuits:b current transformers,b voltage transformers,v CSH core balance current transformers.
The live parts are totally encapsulated in an integral epoxy resin molding which serves a dual function:b it ensures electrical insulation,b it guarantees excellent mechanical resistance of the assembly.
Current transformersAD1 and AD2 unitsARF / ARL type toroidal-core current transformers are located around the switchgearbushings. The toroidal core accommodates the secondary windings, the switchgearbushing is the primary winding.The transformers have primary current values from 50A to 1250A and secondarycurrent 1A or 5A.
CL1 and CL2 unitsARJA1 type conventional current transformers, located in the bus-section unit.The transformers have primary current values from 500A to 2500A and secondarycurrent 1A or 5A.Schneider has a standardized list of CTs that are appropriate for use with digitalprotections to simplify the determination of accuracy characteristics. This list is available on request.

GMset ApparatusSF1-G and SF1-P circuit breakers
SF1-G and SF1-P circuit breakersb The SF1-G and SF1-P circuit breakers are “puffer“ type and use SF6 gas as abreaking and insulating medium.They are composed of three poles mounted on a base which supports the operating mechanism. According to IEC 60298 App. GG (1987), the circuit breaker is defined as a sealedpressure system, that is an assembly for which no further gas processing is requiredduring its expected operating life.b The fundamental feature of the circuit breaker- essential for the very concept of afully gas insulated switchgear- is its very high dependability which means:v high reliability,v long mechanical life: the circuit breakers are tested for 10,000 (class M2)mechanical operations with no need to replace parts with only ordinary maintenanceof the operating mechanism,v long electrical life: the capacity of breaking load and short circuit current is muchhigher than it is normally required in 30 years of operational life. The circuit breakerscomply for the electrical endurance life whit IEC 62271-100 (class E2) standard.v no need for any maintenance on the active parts,v manufactured under a fully quality assurance program.
Puffer type: operating principleThe main contacts and arcing contacts are initially closed (fig 1).
Precompression (fig 2)When the contacts begin to open, the piston slightly compresses the SF6 gas in the pressure chamber.
Arcing period (fig 3)The arc strikes between the arcing contacts. The piston continues its downwardmovement.A small quantity of gas, directed by the insulating nozzle, is injected across the arc.For the breaking of low currents, the arc is cooled by forced convection.However, for high currents, thermal expansion causes the hot gases to move towardthe colder parts of the pole unit.The distance between the two arcing contacts becomes sufficient for the current to be broken when it reaches the zero point, due to the dielectric properties of SF6.
Sweeping overstroke (fig 4)The moving parts finish their movement and the injection of cold gas continues untilthe contacts are completely open.

GMset ApparatusGMh and RI operating mechanisms
Operating mechanismsGMh and RI operating mechanismsSF1-G and SF1-P range circuit breakers are actuated respectively by GMh and RIoperating mechanisms that ensure switching device closing and opening speed thatis indipendent of the operator. The operating mechanisms, which are alwaysmotorized, can perform remote control funtions and implement fast reclosing cycles.The operating mechanisms are located outside the SF6 compartment. Maintenanceis reduced by using self lubrificating parts.
GMh and RI electrical operating mechanisms include: b a spring system which stores the energy needed to close and open the breaker,b a manual spring charging system, b an electrical motor spring charging device that automatically recharges themechanism as soon as the contacts close (time ≤ 15 s),b two mechanical push-buttons on the front panel for opening and closing,b an electrical closing system including:v a closing release for remote control and an anti-pumping relay.b an electrical “opening” release system featuring one or more releases of thefollowing types:v shunt,v undervoltage*v low power-consuming mitop**,b operation counter,b a mechanical “charged-discharged” position indicator of closing springs,b a closing springs end-of-charging contact (NO or NC),b a mechanical “open-closed” position indicator,b a multi-pin connector for isolating auxiliary circuits.
Auxiliary contactsThe GMh and RI operating mechanisms are equipped with auxiliary contacts. Thenumber of available contacts depends on the composition of the operatingmechanism and the options chosen. However at least three CO contacts areavailable on the switchgear outgoing terminal block for the external signals.
