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 20,000 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 damps 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 typo operating nwchanism 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
usly on
Type tests have been performed previoa 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.
Comments and Exceptions to Specification ST-CB.1.2001
• Section 9.1 — The proposed dreuit breaker will come furnished with silver
plated aluminum NEMA 4-hole terminal pads. Bushing studs and stud
connectors are not included. Bushing conductors are made from aluminum.
Section 5.0.6 & 9.7 — The proposed breaker will be supplied with 72" of
creepage per bushing.
Section 9.8 814.4.4 —Power factor fasting is not applicable to SF6 Blled
bushings and breakers and no such tests no provisions will be provided.
• Section 10.0 — The proposed circuit breaker will be fumished with bushing
current transformers (BC:T's) as specified. Option pricing is given for different
BCT arrangement.
• Section 11,2.1 —The SF6 gas fill port is wdernal`to the control cabinet.
