(transport, storage), installation, operation and maintenance. 1. General NOTE Siemens 3AF 01 vacuum circuit-breakers are of the triple- pole outdoor type for rated voltage of 36 kV. In their basic design and with all standard listed equipment options, 3AF 01 vacuum circuit-breakers The vacuum circuit-breaker consists of a steel structure, a are type-tested components in accordance with IEC.
In the event of any queries, state the type designation, 2.1.1 Type designation design code, year of manufacture and the serial 3AF 01 vacuum circuit-breakers are identified by a number. machine-readable product designation made up of a series of numbers and letters, whose first 8 places can be 2.1.3...
For a specified rated withstand voltage of 185kV at an altitude of 1400m, an insulation level of at least 195kV The 3AF 01 vacuum circuit-breakers are designed for the under standard reference atmosphere is required: normal operating conditions laid down in the standards.
40°C. The assemblies. maximum permissible load current as a function of the ambient temperature of the 3AF 01 circuit-breaker has When ordering replacement pole assemblies, state the been plotted in Fig. 4. circuit-breaker type, design code and serial number (see name plate).
OFF button (P-6, Fig. 11). In the case of an electrical command being given, the tripping The vacuum interrupters fitted in the 3AF 01 vacuum solenoid Y1 (P-5, Fig. 11) unlatches the tripping spring. circuit-breakers are type-approved in accordance with the The opening sequence is similar to the closing sequence.
4. Equipment part of the short spring charging time, the motors operate in the overload range. The basic version of the 3AF 01 vacuum circuit-breaker comprises: The supply voltage of the motor-operated mechanism may deviate from the rated value by -15% to +10%.
unlatching mechanism is released and opening of the 4.3.6 Current transformer-operated release (Y4) circuit-breaker is thus initiated via the stored-energy 3AX1102 (optional feature) mechanism. The stored energy mechanism is Current transformer-operated (CT-operated) releases automatically recharged by the circuit-breaker. consist of a stored-energy mechanism, an unlatching The deliberate tripping of the undervoltage release mechanism and an electromagnet system.
Packing Cases is unpacked, take care that it is stored in a dry room The 3AF 01 outdoor vacuum circuit-breakers are and repack it if necessary. It is important that the despatched in one wooden case or in corrugated board.
Non-compliance can lead to damage. 12. Lock washer 13. Glass window for viewing mechanical indications The 3AF 01 outdoor vacuum circuit-breaker is 14. Operating mechanism housing despatched in one crate. The equipment is protected by polyethylene sheet while packing. The packing case is marked with the breaker serial number.
Any locking washer or gasket loosened or (iii) Cleaning exposed during assembly must be replaced. WARNING The following sequence should be followed : In line with the foundation plan shown in the G.A. drg., the foundation pockets are made. For safety reasons, cleaning may be taken up only Grout the foundation bolts and cure.
7. Commissioning Slow Opening Operation (Optional) Starting with the condition at the end of the slow closing operation Danger Insert the manual handle in the same position. Move the handle down still further. Keeping the handle pressed down, press the OFF High voltage! P.B.
Inert Gas in the Sealed Pole (optional feature) Inert gas N is filled up in each pole at about 1.5 bar during manufacturing, in order to prevent the entry and subsequent condensation of moisture during the service life of the breaker. The gas is not for the purpose of insulation.
Non-observance can result in death, severe personal injury or substantial damage to property. The 3AF 01 vacuum circuit-breakers in general require little maintenance. The interval at which the maintenance is to be carried out depends on the application by the client. The parameters to be considered are : —...
Checking of Contact Erosion The contact erosion is to be checked with the circuit- DANGER breaker in the ON condition. Carry out steps 1 to 5 as in clause 7.3 and close the breaker slowly as per clause 6.1. Non-observance can result in personal injury. Open the rear cover.
