Circuit-breaker

The Siemens vacuum circuit-breaker (VCB) 3AH55/3AH25 is a three-pole indoor circuit-breaker
for rated voltages from 7.2 kV to 24 kV.
The circuit-breaker consists of the following components:
• Operating mechanism with stored-energy spring mechanism and control elements
• Three circuit-breaker poles with vacuum interrupters
• Partition plate
• Operating rods for contact operation, mounted in the vessel front (partition plate) in a
movable way and without seals by means of welded-in metal bellows.
The operating mechanism accommodates all electrical and mechanical components required
for closing and opening the circuit-breaker. The removable cover of the operating mechanism
contains the openings for the control elements and indicators.
The circuit-breaker is closed by pressing the ON pushbutton. After closing, the motor
recharges the closing spring. If the motor supply voltage fails, the closing spring can be
charged manually.
The vacuum interrupter is fixed at the interrupter support. The fixed contact is directly
connected to the housing. The moving contact is firmly connected to the connection bolt and
is centrally aligned in the guide. A metal bellows forms the vacuum-tight connection to the
interrupter housing.
