Operating mechanismfunctions

Motor operating mechanism 1)

(M1 *)

In the case of the motor operat-ing mechanism, the closingspring is charged by means ofa motor and latched in thecharged position (the “springcharged” indication is visible).Closing is effected either bymeans of an ON pushbutton ora closing solenoid. The closingspring is recharged automati-cally (for auto-reclosure).

Manual operating stored-energy mechanism

The closing spring is chargedby means of the supplied handcrank until latching of theclosing latch is indicated(= “spring charged” indication).

Subsequently the vacuumcircuit-breaker can be closedeither manually or electrically.The closing spring can be re-charged manually. The “possibil-ity to close” is thus stored oncemore (for auto-reclosure).

Manual spring-operatedmechanism(= spring CLOSED,stored-energy OPEN)

The closing spring of the vacuumcircuit-breaker is charged bymeans of the supplied handcrank until the vacuum circuit-breaker closes. Subsequentlyeither manual or electrical open-ing is possible.

Vacuum circuit-breakers withspring-operated mechanism arenot suitable for auto-reclosure.

Three-position switches as three-position switch-disconnectors or disconnectors

Common features

• Metal-enclosed

• Located in agas-insulatedswitchgear vessel

• Switch positions:CLOSED-OPEN-EARTHED

• No cross insulationbetween phases

• Three-position switchwith air-insulatedprimary connectionsfor busbar and feeder

• Operation via agas-tight welded-in me-tal bellows in the frontof the switchgearvessel

Mode of operation

The switch shaft with themoving contact piecesrotates inside the cham-ber containing the fixedcontact pieces.

Compression vanes,which rotate in conjunc-tion with the switchshaft, divide the arcingchamber into two sub-chambers each of whichchanges in conjunctionwith the rotation.

During the switchingmovement, the compres-sion vanes generate apressure difference be-tween the subchambers.The SF6 gas flowsthrough a nozzle, causesa directional blow-out ofthe breaking arc andquenches it rapidly.

Interlocking is not neces-sary as the “CLOSED”and “EARTHED” func-tions cannot be imple-mented simultaneously.

Ready-for-service indicator

Characteristics

• Self-monitoring; easy to read

• Independent of temperatureand pressure variations

• Independent of site altitude

• Only responds to changes ingas density

• Option: Alarm switch“1 NO contact” for remoteelectrical indication

Mode of operation

For the ready-for-service indica-tor, a gas-tight measurementbox is installed on the inside ofthe switchgear vessel.

A coupling magnet, which isfitted to the bottom end of themeasurement box, transmitsits position to an outside arma-ture through the stainless steelswitchgear vessel. This arma-ture moves the ready-for-ser-vice indicator of the switchgear.

While changes in the gasdensity during the loss of gas,which are decisive for theinsulating capacity, are dis-played, temperature-depen-dent changes in the gaspressure are not. The gas inthe measurement box has thesame temperature as that inthe switchgear.

The temperature effect iscompensated via the samepressure change in both gasvolumes.

Verification of correctterminal-phase connections

• Possible by means of aphase comparison test unit(can be ordered separately)

• Safe-to-touch handling of thephase comparison test unit byinserting it into the capacitivetaps (socket pairs) of theswitchgear or the feeders.

Type of service location

SIMOSEC switchgear can beused as an indoor installation inaccordance with IEC 61 936(Power installations exceeding1 kV AC) and VDE 0101

• Outside lockable electricalservice locations at placeswhich are not accessible tothe public. Enclosures ofswitchgear can only beremoved with tools.

• Inside lockable electricalservice locations. A lockableelectrical service location isa place outdoors or indoorsthat is reserved exclusively forhousing electrical equipmentand which is kept under lockand key. Access is restrictedto authorized personnel andpersons who have beenproperly instructed in electri-cal engineering.Untrained or unskilled per-sons may only enter underthe supervision of authorizedpersonnel or properly instruc-ted persons.

Terms

“Make-proof earthing switches”are earthing switches withshort-circuit making capacityaccording to– IEC 62 271-102

and– VDE 0671-102

Colour of panel front

Siemens standard (SN)47 030 G1,colour no. 700 / light basic(similar to RAL 7047 / grey)

Insulating capacity

• The insulating capacity is veri-fied by testing the switchgearwith rated values of short-duration power-frequencywithstand voltage and light-ning impulse withstand volt-age according to IEC 60 694/VDE 0670-1000 (seetable “Insulating capacity”).

• The rated values are referredto sea level and to normalatmospheric conditions(1013 hPa, 20 °C, 11 g/m3

humidity in accordance withIEC 60 071 and VDE 0111).

• The insulating capacitydecreases with increasingaltitude.For site altitudes above1000 m (above sea level)the standards do not provideany guidelines for the insula-tion rating. Instead, specialregulations apply to thesealtitudes.

• Site altitude– As the altitude increases, the

insulating capacity of insula-tion in air decreases due tothe decreasing air density.This reduction is permitted upto a site altitude of 1000 maccording to IEC and VDE.

– For site altitudes above1000 m a higher insulationlevel must be selected. Itresults from the multiplica-tion of the rated insulationlevel for 0 to 1000 m with thealtitude correction factor Ka.

Result:

According to the abovetable, a switchgear for arated voltage of 24 kV witha rated lightning impulsewithstand voltage of125 kV is to be selected.

Internal arc classification(option)

• Safety of operating personnelensured by tests to verify in-ternal arc classification

• The possibility of arc faultsin SIMOSEC switchgear ismuch less due to:

– Metal-enclosed and gas-insulated switching functions(e.g. of three-position switch-disconnector and 3AH5vacuum circuit-breaker)

– Logical arrangement ofoperating mechanismelements and mechanicalinterlocks

– Short-circuit-proof feederearthing by means of thethree-position switch-disconnector

• The internal arc fault testsmust be performed in accord-ance with IEC 62 271-200 /VDE 0671-200 *

Criteria for internal arc faults

• Criteria according toIEC 62 271-200 /VDE 0671-200 * with respectto the behaviour in case ofinternal arc faults

• Definitions of criteria:– Acceptance criterion 1

Covers and doors remainclosed. Limited deformationsare accepted.

– Acceptance criterion 2No fragmentation of theenclosure. No projection ofsmall parts above 60 gweight.

– Acceptance criterion 3No holes in the accessiblesides up to a height of 2 m.

– Acceptance criterion 4Indicators do not ignite dueto the effect of hot gases.

– Acceptance criterion 5The enclosure remainsconnected to its earthingparts.

• For cable testing– the installation and

operating instructions ofthe switchgear

– the standardsIEC 62 271-200 /VDE 0671-200Section 5.105 *

– the information on manu-facturer-dependent cablesealing ends

– the cable version(e.g. paper-insulated mass-impregnated cables, PVCcables or XLPE cables)

must be observed.

1) VLF = very low frequency

2) Referred to: U0 /U (Um = 6.35/11 (12) kV)


Cable testing

• For circuit-breaker andswitch-disconnector feeders

• DC voltage test

before the test:

Remove or disconnect anyvoltage transformers at thecable connection inSIMOSEC switchgear.

SIMOSEC switchgear forrated voltages up to 24 kVcan be subjected to cabletests at a max. DC testvoltage of 72 kV or accordingto VDE at 70 kV, 15 min.The voltage at the busbarmay be 24 kV in this case.

Climate and ambientconditions

SIMOSEC switchgear may beused, subject to possible addi-tional measures – e.g. panelheaters or floor covers –under the following ambientconditions and climate classes:

• Ambient conditions– Natural foreign materials– Chemically active pollutants– Small animals

• Climate classesThe climate classes areclassified according toIEC 60 721-3-3

SIMOSEC switchgear is largelyinsensitive to climate andambient conditions by virtue ofthe following features:

• No cross insulation forisolating distances betweenphases

• Metal enclosure of switchingdevices (e.g. three-positionswitch) in gas-filled stainless-steel switchgear vessel

• Dry-type bearings inoperating mechanism

• Essential parts of the operat-ing mechanism made ofcorrosion-proof materials

• Use of climate-independentthree-phase current trans-formers
