Comments
The circuit breakers offered belong to a family of switchgear highlighted by the
following features:
- Third generation SF6 interrupter with advanced thermal effect interrupter
- Mechanical spring/spring operating mechanism
- More than 17000 units on order or In service since 1989, worldwide
The circuit breakers have four hole NEMA bushing terminals, made of silver plated
aluminum and arranged in a horizontal fashion(see dimension drawing). Terminal
clamps to be provided by others.
Anchor bolts to be provided by others.
The breakers have one common gas density monitoring system for the three poles.
The density monitor has two contact settings for the following functions for falling
density: (1) alarm, (2) functional lockout.
Surface protection. Ferrous parts exposed to ambient air are hot dip galvanized;
aluminum parts -are not painted.
A spring type operating mechanism is used to operate the circuit breaker. The
stored energy in the springs is sufficient to perform one O-CO operation without
recharging. The tripping springs are automatically recharged after every C-
operation.
Seismically rated to zone 4
Type tests have been performed previously on a similar unit. A repetition of any
type tests is not included in the price of the circuit breaker.
No special tools are required for installation or erection of the circuit breakers..
Exceptions to the specifications
Section 9.1 — The proposed circuit breaker will come furnished with silver plated
aluminum terminal pads.
Section 5.0.6 & 9.7 — The proposed breaker will be supplied with 72" of creepage
per bushing.
