72,5 kV The efficient High-Voltage Circuit-Breaker with Spring-Stored Energy Operating Mechanism
It has all the characteristics of a real professional. It works Terminal plate
reliably, safely and with utmost efficiency. Where is it Contact support deployed? In every climatic zone on earth. References? In more than 80 countries worldwide. It´s the 3AP1 and it´s the most powerful high-voltage circuit-breaker with a Nozzle spring-stored energy operating mechanism from Siemens. Main contact Arc contact Whatever the application: reliable and economical Years of experience in high-voltage switchgear has gone Heat cylinder into the design and production of the 3AP1 FG circuit- breaker. All the main components of the circuit-breaker are produced in our own factories with the well-known Base Siemens standards. Spring-stored operating mechanism and interrupter units have proven their worth in worldwide daily use. Terminal plate
Major features The design
Self-compression interrupter chamber We have applied the self-compression arc-quenching Use of the thermal energy of the arc principle. This principle makes the best possible use of the energy of the arc to quench it, thus reducing the power Minimized energy consumption required by the operating mechanism. High reliability for a long time Because of the low energy requirement, during develop- Completely premounted ment we were able to fall back in one of our operating Completely pretested mechanism forms which has proved itself over a long time: The transport unit contains the complete circuit-breaker the spring-stored energy mechanism. Less time is needed to erect and connect the breaker The new 3AP1 FG circuit-breaker will be delivered com- pletely mounted on a breaker base and prefilled with arc quenching gas SF6.
