3TL vacuum contactors The Untiring
3TL vacuum contactors are three-pole contactors with electromagnetic operating mechanism for medium-voltage switchgear. They are load breaking devices with a limited short-circuit making
and breaking capacity for applications with high switching rates of up to 1 million electrical operating cycles or 3 million mechanical operating cycles.
3TL6 vacuum contactor The Compact
3TL7/3TL8 vacuum contactors The Slim
As the operating mechanism is located at the rear, 3TL6 vacuum contactors have a very compact design. This arrangement also enables front access to the main conductor terminals as well as very variable installation options. In 3TL7 (bottom right figure) / 3TL8 (top right figure) contactors, the low-voltage and medium-voltage components are not arranged one behind the other (3TL6), but one above the other. This provides a slim design which can easily be mounted on the different switchgear and frame structures.

Construction and mode of operation
Switching medium The vacuum switching technology, proven and fully developed for more than 30 years, serves as arc-quenching principle by using vacuum interrupters. Construction 3TL vacuum contactors consist of a medium-voltage and a low-voltage part. Together with the main conductor terminals, the vacuum interrupters constitute the medium-voltage part. All components required to operate the vacuum interrupter, such as the operating mechanism, closing latch and control unit make up the low-voltage part. These components can be arranged either one behind the other (3TL6) or one above the other (3TL7 and 3TL8). Application examples The vacuum contactors are suitable for operational switching of alternating current consumers in indoor switchgear, and can be used, e.g., for the following switching duties:
Motor starting Plugging or reversing the direction of rotation of motors Switching of transformers Switching of reactors Switching of resistive consumers such as electrical furnaces Switching of capacitors.

3TL6 vacuum contactor
In contactor-type reversing starter combinations (reversing duty), only one contactor is required for each direction of rotation if HV HRC fuses are used for short-circuit protection. Design 3TL vacuum contactors are designed as an open construction, degree of protection IP00 according to IEC 60529 and DIN EN 60529.
HG11-2627 eps
With these duties, the contactors are used in conveying and elevator systems, pumping stations, air conditioning systems as well as in systems for reactive power compensation, and can therefore be found in almost every industrial sector.

3TL6 vacuum contactor Mode of operation The atmospheric pressure exerts a force on the metal bellows of the vacuum interrupter. Without the influence of the operating mechanism, this would close the contact gap. The opening springs (6) keep the moving interrupter contact in open position via the integral rocker (10). To close the vacuum contactor, the compressive force of the opening springs (6) is overcome by the magnet system (2). The magnet armature (4) is attracted, thus moving the integral rocker (10), which releases the moving interrupter contact from the open position. The atmospheric pressure closes the contacts. The integral rocker (10) compresses the contact pressure springs (16), thus generating the necessary contact force. When the magnetic excitation is de-energized, the opening springs (6) open the contact gap via the integral rocker (10) and the moving interrupter contact. The DC magnet system operates as an economy circuit, proving a high mechanical endurance and a low pickup and holding power. Mechanical closing latch The latch (7) holds the vacuum contactor in closed position even without excitation of the magnet system. When the magnet system is energized, the integral rocker is latched mechanically in the CLOSED position through a lever and roller system. The vacuum contactor is released electrically by means of a latch release solenoid (9) or mechanically by the tripping bolt (8). Mechanical closing lock-out

Description
3TL6 vacuum contactor (continuation) Adjustment to the site altitude At the factory, the vacuum contactor is adjusted to a site altitude of 200 m to + 1250 m above sea level. For other site altitudes, the contactor must be adapted to the corresponding site altitude range by means of adjusters located on the rear side of the device (see figure on the right). Blocking element to interlock two contactors To interlock two contactors mutually for reversing duty, a mechanically operating blocking element is available on request (for 3TL61 only). The blocking element is fixed between the two contactors, blocking the movement of the operating rocker of the two contactors alternatively. This excludes a phase short-circuit that could occur when the two directions of rotation are activated simultaneously as a result of mechanical impact and electrical maloperation.
Adjusters (on the rear side of the device) to set the site altitude Setting ranges above sea level: 1. + 1250 m to + 2500 m 2. 200 m to + 1250 m 3. 1250 m to + 200 m
3TL7 vacuum contactor Construction 3TL7 vacuum contactors have two slim pole shells above the operating mechanism. The vacuum interrupters (2) are fixed between two pole half-shells (1). This design enables easy and universal installation on the different switchgear and frame structures. The low-voltage part contains the magnetic drive, auxiliary contactor and auxiliary contacts. Mode of operation The magnetic drive of the 3TL7 vacuum contactor opens and closes the contacts of the vacuum interrupters. Due to the use of a special double coil, the magnetic drive is designed for the closing and holding process. To implement a mechanical interlocking between the withdrawable part of the switchgear and the vacuum contactor, there is a lug available on the operating shaft which transfers the signalling commands.

Mode of operation 3TL8 vacuum contactors open and close the contacts of the vacuum interrupters (2). Due to the use of the electronic economy circuit (12), the magnet system (11) is to a large extent independent of the voltage type and level. Mechanical closing latch The mechanical closing latch (6) holds the vacuum contactor in closed position even without excitation of the magnet system (11). The latching module of the mechanical closing latch (6) is accommodated in the mechanism section. When the magnet system (11) is energized, the vacuum interrupter (2) is latched mechanically in CLOSED position through a lever and roller system. The vacuum contactor is released electrically by means of a latch release solenoid or mechanically by a tripping bolt (customer control required). The command duration for the latch release coil must range between 100 ms and 1 s. De-energizing must be provided externally.

Switching duties
Utilization categories In IEC 60470, power contactors are divided into different utilization categories. According to these categories, 3TL vacuum contactors are dimensioned for different electrical consumers and operating conditions. The opposite table shows typical applications in accordance with the respective utilization categories.
Utilization category AC-1 AC-2 AC-3 AC-4 Typical applications Non-inductive or slightly inductive loads, resistance furnaces Slip-ring motors: Starting, switching off Squirrel-cage motors: Starting, switching off during running Squirrel-cage motors: Starting, plugging 1), reversing 1), inching 2)
1) By plugging is understood stopping or reversing the motor rapidly by reversing motor primary connections while the motor is running 2) By inching is understood energizing a motor once or repeatedly for short periods to obtain small movements of the driven mechanism
Application 3TL vacuum contactors are 3-pole contactors with electromagnetic operating mechanism for medium-voltage switchgear. They are load breaking devices with a limited short-circuit making and breaking capacity for applications with high switching rates (> 10000 operating cycles). Vacuum contactors are suitable for operational switching of alternating-current consumers in indoor switchgear, and can be used e.g. for the following switching duties:
Switching of three-phase motors in AC-3 or AC-4 operation Switching of transformers Switching of reactors Switching of resistive consumers Switching of capacitors.

Frequent switching in AC-4 operation 1)
3TL vacuum contactors are especially suitable for frequent operation of motors. As the chopping currents of the contactors are w 5 A, no unpermissibly high overvoltages are produced when accelerated motors are switched during normal operation. However, when high-voltage motors with starting currents of w 600 A are stopped during start-up, switching overvoltages may arise. The magnitude of these overvoltages can be reduced to harmless values by means of special surge limiters. 3EF surge limiters can be arranged in parallel to the cable sealing ends, preferably in the cable compartment. The surge limiters consist of non-linear resistors (metal-oxide varistors SIOV) and a series-connected spark gap. During installation it must be observed that the surge limiter is flexibly mounted on one side for mechanical reasons. Switching of transformers When inductive currents are interrupted, current chopping can produce overvoltages at the contact gap. Such overvoltages can be controlled with a protective circuit composed of 3EF surge limiters. Switching of capacitors 3TL vacuum contactors can interrupt capacitive currents up to 250 A up to the rated voltage of 12 kV without restrikes, and thus without overvoltages.

Overvoltages can arise as a consequence of multiple restrikes or by virtual current chopping, e.g. when motors are switched in braked condition or during start-up. Motors with a starting current w 600 A are endangered. Safe protection against overvoltages is ensured by surge limiters; circuit examples are shown above. Short-circuit protection 3TL vacuum contactors are not designed to switch short-circuit currents. It is therefore absolutely essential to provide short-circuit protection. The best protection is provided by HV HRC fuses, but circuit-breakers can also be used under the preconditions described above.

Switching duties
Short-circuit protection via HV HRC fuses At high short-circuit currents, HV HRC fuses have a current-limiting effect, i.e. the fuse limits the short-circuit current to the let-through current. When selecting the fuses, the type of consumer must be observed, e.g. motor, transformer, capacitors. The diagram shows an example for the coordination of a HV HRC fuse with an overcurrent-time protection. Co-ordinating the components of the motor circuit:
The time-current characteristic must be located on the right of the motor starting current (point A). The rated current of the HV HRC fuse-link must exceed the normal current of the motor. The current corresponding to the intersection B of the HV HRC fuse-link characteristic and the characteristic of the overcurrent-time protection must be higher than the minimum breaking current of the HV HRC fuse-link. If this is not feasible, it must be ensured that overload currents that are smaller than the minimum breaking current of the HV HRC fuse-link are interrupted by the switching device via the striker. This prevents thermal overloading of the HV HRC fuse-link, which would otherwise be destroyed. The selected HV HRC fuse link limits the sustained symmetrical short-circuit current Ik to the let-through current ID shown in the diagram for the current-limiting characteristics (ID as a function of IK for HV HRC fuse-links with different rated currents). The maximum permissible let-through current is ID = 50 kA.

Requirements
The let-through current ID must not exceed 50 kA to 7.2 kV In case of low-voltage supply via a control transformer, short-circuit currents ranging above the limit switching capacity must be interrupted within 80 ms. This requirement does not apply if
the mechanical latch is provided, or the opening times have been extended so much, that in the a.m. range the contactor can only open when the fuse has interrupted the current.
Due to the arising motor starting current, the instant when the motor starts represents the maximum stress for the HV HRC fuse. This stress must neither operate nor pre-damage the fuse. Other factors of influence on the stress of the HV HRC fuses are the starting time and the starting frequency of the motors.

Description
Switching duties, standards and tests
Short-circuit protection for class E2 controllers according to UL 347/CSA C22.2 For using 3TL6 and 3TL8 vacuum contactors as class E2 controllers for 7.2 kV, Siemens fuses of type 3GD1 150-4D (7.2 kV/250 A) or other fuses with a comparable currenttime characteristic are specified for short-circuit protection. If two fuse-links are connected in parallel, the symmetrical short-circuit current determined has to be divided by two, and the associated let-through current for one fuse-link must be stated. This value must then be multiplied by two in order to obtain the total let-through current, which must not exceed the permissible value for the vacuum contactor. The parallel connection should ensure that the resistance values in the two branches are almost the same. When the fuses operate, the vacuum contactor must be switched off. A suitable device, actuated by the striker of the HV HRC fuse-link, should be provided. Fuse monitoring To prevent a three-phase load (e.g. a motor) from being supplied only by two phases when a fuse has operated, the fuse-bases can be equipped with a fuse trip indicator. This device can be used either to energize a warning signal or to switch off the vacuum contactor. Short-circuit protection by circuit-breakers Consumers for which no suitable fuses are available can also be protected by circuit-breakers. Due to the longer break time of the circuit-breakers (max. permissible 120 ms), the symmetrical short-circuit current must not exceed the maximum permissible value (e.g. 20 kA at 7.2 kV for 3TL6 vacuum contactors). As a consequence of the longer opening time, the interrupters should be replaced immediately by new ones after carrying the maximum permissible symmetrical short-circuit current, as their service life has been considerably reduced. Overload protection For protecting high-voltage motors against overload, it is possible to use thermally delayed overcurrent relays with suitable current transformers. Trip-free mechanism All contacts of the vacuum contactors are trip-free. The OPEN command interrupts the CLOSE command, i.e. the instant of the OPEN command determines whether the contacts will close or not.
Standards 3TL vacuum contactors are designed in open construction, with degree of protection IP00 according to IEC 60529 and DIN EN 60529. They conform to the standards for high-voltage alternating current contactors above 1 kV and up to 12 kV:
IEC 60470 UL Standard 347 CSA C22.2
As there are no standards available for 24 kV, 3TL7 vacuum contactors are designed according to IEC 60470, Edition 05.2000 / DIN EN 60470 Edition 01.2002 DIN EN 62271-100 Edition 01.2004. Tests For the development and type testing of power switching devices, we have accredited testing laboratories at our disposal:
Testing laboratories with a high electrical testing capacity
Testing laboratories to prove the following features: Mechanical operation Reliability Dielectric strength Temperature-rise performance Climatic resistance.
To obtain secure results, comprehensive test series are performed for the type tests defined in the standards. If the customer requests further tests that should not be performed at internal Siemens laboratories, other accredited testing institutes are available as well.
