3 Structure and function
3.1 Structure of the breaker poles
(Figures 3/1, 3/2 und 3/6)
The 36 kV and 40.5 kV circuit-breakers of type VD4are designed as withdrawable units.
The poles, which are constructed in column form,are mounted on a torsionally rigid enclosure sub-structure with rollers. The live parts of the breakerpoles are located in the insulating material poletubes 57.8 and protected from impacts and otherexternal influences.
With the breaker closed, the current path leadsfrom the upper contact arm 57.1 and a chamberholder fixed in the pole tube to the fixed contact58.2 in the vacuum interrupter 58, then via themoving contact 58.3 and roller contact to thelower contact arm 57.2. The switching motion iseffected by means of the insulated coupling rodwith internal contact force springs.
The basic structure of a vacuum interrupter isexplained in figure 3/6.
3.2 Structure of the breaker operating mechanism
(Figures 3/3, 3/4, 6/1 to 6/5, 7/5 to 7/8)
The operating mechanism located in the housingsubstructure is of the stored-energy spring typeand acts on the three breaker poles. The necessaryoperating energy is stored ready for activation bycharging the spring energy storage mechanism.
The stored-energy spring mechanism essentiallyconsists of drum 55.33 containing the spiral spring,the charging system, the latching and operatingmechanism and the linkages which transmit theforce to the breaker poles. In addition, there aresupplementary components such as the chargingmotor, releases, auxiliary switches and the controlsand instruments.
The operating mechanism is fundamentally suitablefor autoreclosing and, due to the short chargingtimes, also for multi-shot autoreclosing.
The operating mechanism is normally fitted with acharging motor. There is also a facility for chargingthe stored energy spring manually.
There is one rating plate 55.7 with the main data ofthe switch equipment on front cover plate left handside 50.7, and another on breaker mechanismhousing.
The basic version of the stored-energy springmechnism is fitted with the following auxiliaryequipment:
• Shunt release OFF Y2
• Five-pole auxiliary switch S4 for annunciationpurposes
• Auxiliary switch S7 for fault annunciation
• ON-OFF operating shaft 54
• Mechanical switch position indicator 55.4
• Charging condition indicator 55.8 for the springenergy store
• Mechanical operating cycle counter 55.5.
The following additional equipment can beinstalled:
• Blocking magnet Y0 on withdrawable part
• Blocking magnet Y1 with auxiliary switch S2
• Shunt release ON Y3
• Second shunt release OFF Y9
• Indirect overcurrent release Y7
• Undervoltage release Y4
• Five-pole auxiliary switches S3 and S5
• Charging motor M0
• Five-pole auxiliary switch S1 to switch thecharging motor
• Anti-pumping relay K0.
3.2.1 Releases, blocking magnet and auxiliary switches
(Figures 3/3, 6/2, 7/7 and 7/8)
The releases and the blocking magnet aremounted at the bottom of the stored-energy springmechanism.
The allocation of the auxiliary switches can be seenin the wiring diagram of figure 7/8.
The five-pole auxiliary switch S1 is operated by thecharging condition indicator 55.8. It controls thecharging motor M0, serves as an electrical interlockfor shunt release ON Y3 when the spring energystorage mechanism is not sufficiently charged, andalso provides an electrical switching readinesssignal.
Operation of the five-pole auxiliary switches S3, S4and S5 is dependent on the switching position ofthe circuit-breaker.
Auxiliary switch S3 interrupts the circuit of the op-tional additional shunt release OFF Y9 with thecircuit-breaker in the open position, and the circuitsof shunt release ON Y3 and the optional blockingmagnet Y1 with the circuit-breaker in the closedposition. There is one further NOC for otherpurposes.
11
Auxiliary switch S4 interrupts the circuit of shuntrelease OFF Y2 with the circuit-breaker in the openposition. One further NOC and three NCCs areavailable for annunciation, control and interlockpurposes.
Auxiliary switch S5 can be optionally designed withany possible combination of contacts from fiveNOCs to five NCCs. Its contacts are available forany required control, annunciation or interlockfunctions. The auxiliary switch is normallyconfigured as shown in figure 7/8.
The single pole auxiliary switch S7 (fleeting contacttime ≥ 30 ms) serves to provide a fault signal("breaker released"). With remote control, theauxiliary switch is necessarily operated via:
• Shunt release OFF Y2 or
• Shunt release OFF Y9 or
• Undervoltage release Y4 or
• Indirect overcurrent release Y7.
Note:
1. Shunt releases OFF (Y2) and ON (Y3) areexclusively provided for opening and closing innormal operation. For safety breakingoperations, the second shunt release OFF (Y9)must be used, in most cases with a separatecontrol voltage supply.
These three releases are of the solenoid typeand suitable for a large number of operatingcycles.
2. The undervoltage release (Y4) and/or indirectovercurrent release (Y7) are pure safety andprotection releases and must not be used forswitching in normal operation.
3.3 Function
3.3.1 Charging of the spring energy store
(Figures 3/3, 6/2, 6/6 and 7/8)
To provide the necessary motive energy, the springenergy storage mechanism is charged via chain55.34 fitted with ratchet wheel 55.35, eitherautomatically by a charging motor or by hand in avertical pumping action with charging lever 128.The current charging condition is shown atcharging condition indicator 55.8
As a precondition for an autoreclosing sequence,the operating mechanism is either (re-)chargedafter a closing operation automatically by thecharging motor, or it requires (re-)charging by handif the operating mechanism is of the manual type.
3.3.2 Closing procedure
(Figures 3/4, 3/6, 6/1, 6/3 and 7/7)
The closing process is initiated manually by thedouble bit key 145 and the ON-OFF operating shaft54, or electrically by activation of shunt release Y3.The release mechanism then permits drive shaft 55.30to be rotated by the (previously) charged spiral spring.The moving contact 58.3 in vacuum interrupter 58 ismoved until the contacts touch by cam disk and furtherkinematic links. In the further sequence of motion,spring arrangement is tensioned and the appropriateamount of contact force thus applied. The availableovertravel is higher than the maximum value ofcontact erosion during lifetime of the interrupter.During the closing process, opening springs aresimultaneously tensioned.
3.3.3 Opening procedure
(Figures 3/3, 3/6, 6/3 and 7/7)
The opening procedure is initiated manually by thedouble bit key 145 and the ON-OFF operating shaft54, or electrically by activation of one of thereleases Y2, Y4, Y7 or Y9. Observe the notes insection 3.2.1 on controlof the releases. Releasemechanism then permits drive shaft 55.30 to beturned further by the spring energy storagemechanism, which is still sufficiently charged. Theopening spring, which is thus released, moves thecontact 58.3 into the open position at a defined speed.
3.3.4 Autoreclosing sequence
An OFF-ON or OFF-ON-OFF autoreclosing se-quence is activated and checked by the protectionsystem. It is necessary for the spiral spring in theoperating mechanism to be in the (re-)chargedcondition, with the circuit-breaker in the closedposition. The (re-)charging process is carried outautomatically after closing of the breaker onbreakers with motor charging mechanisms, butmust be carried out manually on breakers withoutcharging motors (or when the charging motor hasbroken down). Opening of the breaker is alsopossible during the (re-)charging process, but sub-sequent closing of the breaker is however blockeduntil the charging process has been completed.
3.3.5 Quenching principle of the vacuum interrupter
Due to the extremely low static interrupter chamberpressure of 10-4 to 10-8 mbar, only a relatively smallcontact gap is required to achieve a high dielectricstrength. The arc is extinguished on one of the firstnatural current zeros.
Due to the small contact gap and the high con-ductivity of the metal vapour plasma, the arc dropvoltage, and additionally, due to the short arcingtime, the associated arc energy, are extremely low,which has advantageous effects on the life of thecontacts and thus on that of the vacuuminterrupters.

• Check the charging motor on circuit-breakerswith motor-operated mechnisms by applyingauxiliary voltage. The stored energy spring ischarged.
• On breakers with manual charging mechanisms,charge the stored energy spring by hand (seeSection 6.3.1).
• Perform a trial opening or closing operation ofthe circuit-breaker using the double bit key 145at the ON-OFF operating shaft 54 (taking intoaccount any required auxiliary voltage and anyrelevant interlocks). Observe switch positionindicator 55.4 and charging condition indicator55.8.
• Remove transport plugs 57.5 from the poles.
• Check that pole tube caps 57.4 are properlyfitted.
• The further procedure results from the inter-action of the truck with the switchgear cubicle.See the Operation Manual for the switchgearts.
• Ensure that the Instruction Manual is available tothe operators at all times.
5 Installation(Figures 3/4 and 4/1)
Perfect operation of the circuit-breaker dependson careful and professional handling of thewithdrawable part.
• Allocate each unit to the appropriate switchgearpanel in accordance with the switchgear planand the rated electrical data.
• Remove the transport profile 148 and transportbrackets 147.
• Insert the withdrawable part in the switchgearpanel checking for unimpeded motion andfunction sequences, including the closing ofprimary (See section 4.3) contacts when theservice position is reached.
• Remove any dirt – see also section 7.3.1.
• For further actions, see Operation Manual for theswitchgear panels.
When the switchgears are operated in areas withhigh humidity and/or major rapid temperaturefluctuations, there is a risk of dew deposits whichmust remain an exception in normal operatingconditions to DIN VDE 0670. Provisions should betaken according to section 1.3.2 (special operatingconditions).

6.3 Operation of the circuit-breaker
(Figures 6/1 to 6/3 and 6/6)
6.3.1 Charging the spring energy storage mechanism
Circuit-breakers with charging motors:
• Charging takes place automatically.
• If the charging motor breaks down, the chargingprocess can be carried out or completedmanually.
Circuit-breakers with manual charging mechanisms:
• Insert charging lever 128 into the socket 55.6and pump up and down for approx. 25 strokesuntil the charged condition is displayed.
• When the charged condition is reached, thecharging mechanism automatically disengages,and further strokes of the charging lever have noeffect.
Note:
Charging of the spring energy storage mechanismby hand should only take place when the truck is inthe test/disconnected or removed position.
Key to the charging condition indications:
Discharged Charged
As a precondition for an autoreclosing sequence,the operating mechanism is either (re-)chargedafter a closing operation automatically by thecharging motor, or it requires (re-)charging by handif the operating mechanism is of the manual type.
6.3.2 Closing and opening
• Operate the local or remote electrical controlunit.
• Observe switch position indicator 55.4.
The mechanical control system facilitates manualoperation of the circuit-breaker in the switchgearcubicle even with the door closed:
• Fit double bit key 145 on ON-OFF operatingshaft 54.
• Turn the double bit key approx. 15° clockwieseuntil the stop is reached to close the circuit-breaker, or anti-clockwise to open it.
See also note in section 3.2.1
The operating cycle counter 55.5 is automaticallyincremented by one complete figure with eachswitching cycle. On completion of a switchingoperation the switch position indicator 55.4 in thewindow of front cover plate 50.7. shows theappropriate position of the circuit-breaker.
The anti-pumping relay K0 (wiring diagram infirgure 7/8) prevents repeated ON-OFF switchingoperations if, for example, the breaker is tripped bya protection relay in response to a primary side faultwhile a permanent electrical closing command issimultaneously applied. The circuit-breaker canthen only be closed after the closing command hasbeen interrupted.

7 MaintenanceMaintenance serves to ensure trouble-freeoperation and achive the longest possibleworking life of the switchgear. In accordance withDIN 31 051 / IEC 61208 it comprises the followingclosely related activities:Inspection: Determination of the actual conditionServicing: Measures to maintain the specified
conditionRepair: Measures to restore the specified
condition.
7.1 General
(Figure 7/5)
Vacuum circuit-breakers are characterized by theirsimple and robust construction. They have a longlife expectancy. Their operating mechanisms havea low maintenance requirement, and theinterrupters are maintenance-free during theirworking life. There is no adverse effect on thevacuum, even from frequent switching of operatingand short-circuit currents.
The servicing intervals and scope are determinedby environmental influences, the switchingsequences and number of short-circuit breakingoperations.
With carefully performed inspections and servicingwork, and under normal operating conditions, thecircuit-breakers, depending on the type, have aservice life of up to 20,000 operating cycles and more.
Note:
The following must be observed for all maintenancework:
• The relevant specifications in section 1.2.2
• Notes on safety at work in section 6.1
• Standards and specifications in the country ofinstallation.
Maintenance work may only be performed by fullytrained personnel, observing all the relevant safetyregulations. It is recommended that ABB CalorEmag after-sales service personnel should becalled in, at least during the performance ofservicing and repair work.
While the work is in progress, all auxiliary voltagesources must also be disconnected and secured toprevent reconnection.
Note:In order to prevent accidents (particularly injuryto hands!) extreme care should be taken duringall repair work on the operating mechanism,especially with front cover plates 50.6 and 50.7removed.The spiral spring in the spring energy stragemechanism, for instance, retains a basic tensionwhich is independent of the charging anddischarging processes during switching, so as toensure correct function. This spring energy can beinadvertently released if work is performedincorrectly on the spring mechanism!
7.2 Inspection and functional testing
7.2.1 Switching devices in general
The proper condition of the switching device is tobe verified by regular inspection.
Under normal operating conditions, testing by aqualified personnel is to be performed at least every4 years (in accordance with VBG 4 standard).
In unusual operating conditions (including adverseclimatic conditions) and/or special environmentalpollutions (e.g. heavy contamination and aggressi-ve atmosphere), inspection may also be necessaryat shorter intervals.
Inspection at fixed intervals may be waived if theswitchgear is permanently monitored by a qualifiedpersonnel.
The checks first and foremost comprise visualexamination for contamination, corrosion, moistureand discharge phenomena.
If an incorrect condition is found, appropriateservicing measures are to initiated.
7.2.2 Stored-energy spring mechanism
(Figures 7/6 and 7/7)
Functional testing of the operating mechanism is tobe performed:
• after 5000 operating cycles or
• during servicing work as set out in 7.2.1.
Prior to functional testing, switch the breaker offand isolate the outgoing feeder.
Note:
Isolate and secure the working area in accordancewith the safety regulations specified by DIN VDE/IEC.
Scope of functional testing:
• Perform several switching operations under noload, above all with circuit-breakers seldomoperated in normal service.
• Switch off the charging motor (if fitted) anddischarge the spring mechanism by ON/OFFswitching operations.
• Examine visual the condition of the lubrication onrotary bearings, sliding surfaces, etc.
• Check the proper mechanical/electrical se-quence of the individual functions.
7.2.3 Checking auxiliary switch settings on with-drawable part
(Figures 6/4, 6/6, 7/6 to 7/8)
Compliance with the interlock conditions in theareas of the test/disconnected position and theservice position is ensured by auxiliary switchesS8 and S9, located in the breaker housing.
22
In test operations, the withdrawable part must bemoved by hand with the crank 146 fitted.
1. Settings in the area of the test/disconnectedposition
• Move the withdrawable part out of the test/disconnected position towards the serviceposition with a few turns of the crank.
• Slowly move the withdrawable part back tothe stop.
Auxiliary switch S8 must then operate whenthe hand crank has a remaining angle of + 60°of turn to reach the stop.
• Slowly insert the withdrawable part from thetest/disconnected position towards theservice position until auxiliary switch S8 justoperates.
In this position, it must still just be possible tomove closing push rod 55.2. For this test, thefunction of the blocking magnet Y0 (if fitted)must be deactivated manually.
This condition ensures that the electricalinterlock takes effect before the mechanicalinterlock in the motion sequence involved.
2. Settings in the area of the service position
• Move the withdrawable part out of the limitposition towards the test/disconnectedposition with a few turns of the crank.
• Slowly move the withdrawable part forwardsagain to the stop:
Auxiliary switch S9 must then operate whenthe hand crank has a remaining angle of + 60°of turn to reach the stop.
7.2.4 Testing of interlock conditions
(Figures 6/4, 6/6, 7/5, 7/6 and 7/8)
The testing procedures for the withdrawable part.
1. The withdrawable part must only be movablefrom the test/disconnected position into theservice position when the circuit-breaker is open.
Check the following conditions individually:
• With the circuit-breaker closed, insertion ofthe withdrawable part towards the serviceposition must be blocked after only half a turnof the crank in the clockwise direction.
• With the earthing switch closed, insertion ofthe withdrawable part towards the serviceposition must be blocked after only twoclockwise turns of the crank.
Do not use force !
2. The withdrawable part must only be movablefrom the service position into the test/disconnected position with the circuit-breakeropen.
Check this condition as follows:
• With the circuit-breaker closed, withdrawalmovement of the withdrawable part must beblocked after only half a turn of the crank inanti-clockwise direction.
3. Closing of the circuit-breaker must only bepossible when the withdrawable part is in thedefined test/disconnected position or serviceposition.
The control wiring plug 10.2 must previouslyhave been inserted.
Check this condition as follows:
• It must not be possible to close the circuit-breaker with the withdrawable part in anyposition between the test/disconnectedposition and the service position.
• Enabling of switching when the withdrawablepart moves into the service position iseffected electrically by operation of auxiliaryswitch S9 in the breaker housing.
• For motion into the test/disconnectedposition, the same enabling conditions applyanalogously, in this case by means of auxiliaryswitch S8 in the breaker housing.
4. It must only be possible to open the circuit-breaker (manually) when the withdrawable partis in the service position or test/disconnectedposition and the control voltage has failed.
Check this condition.
5. Withdrawable parts with order-related blockingmagnet Y0 may not be moved in case of controlpower failure, or when there is no control power.Do not forcibly move blocked withdrawableparts!
Releasing the blocking magnet Y0.
• Remove front cover plates 50.6, 50.7.
• Disengage blocking magnet Y0 by pulling themagnet armature,
• While doing so, turn crank 146 about one halfturn (either direction of rotation is permissible).
The blocking magnet is only active in the testposition and service position. In intermediatepositions it has no effect.
6. Disconnection of the control wiring plug 10.2 aswell later insertion must be blocked in the with-drawable part‘s service position.
Check this condition.
7.2.5 Breaker pole
No inspection of the breaker pole above andbeyond the stipulations of section 7.2.1 isnecessary.
23
7.3 Servicing
7.3.1 Switching devices in general
If cleaning is found to be necessary duringinspections as set out in 7.2.1, the followingprocedure is to be adopted:
• Prior to cleaning, the working area is to beisolated and secured against reclosing wherenecessary in accordance with the safetyregulations of DIN VDE/IEC.
• Cleaning of surfaces in general:
– Dry, lightly adhering dust deposits with a soft,dry cloth.
– More strongly adhering contamination withslightly alkaline household cleanser or RivoltaBWR 210.
• Cleaning of the insulating material surfaces andconductive components:
– Light contamination:with Rivolta BWR 210.
– Strongly adhering contamination:with cold cleanser 716.
Wipe down after cleaning, using clean water,and dry properly.
• Observe the manufacturer's instructions and thespecial ABB instruction manuals Ba 1002/E orBA 1006/E on safety at work.
Note:
Use only halogen free cleansers, and in no case1.1.1-trichlorethane, trichlorethylene or carbontetrachloride!
7.3.2 Stored-energy spring mechanism
Servicing or the spring mechanism is to beperformed after 10,000 operating cycles.
Prior to servicing, switch the breaker off, and isolatethe outgoing feeder.
Observe the safety regulations!
Details of the servicing:
• Swich off the charging motor (if fitted), anddischarge the spring energy storage mechanismby closing and opening the breaker once.
• Replace parts subject to high climatic andmechanical stresses after 10,000 operatingcycles as a precaution (for details see ABB CalorEmag after-sales service).
• For replacing highly stressed parts neutralizebasic tension of the spiral spring, state the rate.Be careful when carrying out!
• Relubricate pawls, support shafts, sliding androtating bearing surfaces. Lubricant: IsoflexTopas NB 52.
• Check the fit of fasteners (e.g. locking pins) incranks, pins, bolts etc. Check the tightness offastening bolts.
• Always replace any spring lock washers, splitpins and other fasteners removed during thework with new parts when reassembling theequipment.
• Check the general condition of the operatingmechanism and recharge the spring energystore.
• Perform comprehensive mechanical andelectrical functional tests.
• Ensure that the bolted joints at the contactlocations of the conductor bar system and theearthing connections are tight.
Note:
This work may only be performed by the after-salesservice personnel of ABB Calor Emag Schaltanla-gen AG or adequately qualified personnel.
7.3.3 Breaker pole
The breaker pole with the vacuum interrupter ismaintenance-free up to reaching the permissiblenumber of vacuum interrupter operating cycles inaccordance with section 2.4.
Checking of the vacuum is only necessary whenthere is good cause to suspect that force appliedexternally to a pole tube has caused damage to thevacuum interrupter inside.
If the pole tube is damaged or destroyed, it may benecessary to replace the complete breaker pole.
The working life of the vacuum interrupter is definedby the sum current limit corresponding to theequipment data in individual cases in accordancewith section 2.4:
• When the sum current limit is reached, thecomplete breaker poles are to be replaced.
• When the permissible number of mechanicaloperating cycles (i.e. the number correspondingto Ia=0 on the characteristic curve) of thevacuum interrupters has been reached, thebreaker poles must be replaced. However, itshould be investigated beforehand as towhether the installation of a new breaker wouldbe more advantageous.
For testing the vacuum without dismantling thecircuit-breaker you may use:
• Vacuum tester VIDAR,from Programma Electric GmbH,Bad Homburg v.d.H.
A test DC voltage of 60 kV is to be set for testing ofthe pressure inside the interrupter chamber withvacuum tester VIDAR.
Testing is to be performed at the rated contactdistance in the OFF condition.

8 Application of the X-ray regulationsOne of the physical properties of vacuuminsulations is the possibility of X-ray emissionswhen the contact gap is open. The specified typetest performed by the Physikalisch-TechnischeBundesanstalt (PTB) in Brunswick demonstratesthat the local dosage output of 1 µSv/h at adistance of 10 cm from the touchable surface is notexceeded.
The results are as follows:
• The use of the vacuum interrupters at ratedvoltage is completely safe.
• The application of the rated power frequencywithstand voltage specified for the switchingdevices by DIN VDE 0670 and IEC 60056 isalso safe.
• Higher voltages than the rated power frequencywithstand voltage or DC test voltage specified inDIN VDE or IEC standards must not be applied!
• Fulfilment of the above requirement with thevacuum interrupter in the open position isdependent on maintenance of the specifieddistance between the contacts (which isautomatically ensured with correct mechanismfunction and force transmission).
