General layout
HYpact consist of three separate gas

compartments
− Each houses all switching
devices for one phase
• Circuit breaker
• Disconnector(s)
• Earth switch(es)
Bushing current transformer
− Placed around the disconnector
/ earth switch
Installed on two steel stands

General layout
Single cast design

− Avoid not always used openings
− Reduced number of sealings
and gaskets
Thus low leakage

Circuit breaker
Double motion principle ensures low stress, thus increased

reliability
Original design for dead tank circuit breakers
− Double motion breaking chamber is used with several thousend circuit
breakers for more than ten years
− Reduced energy requirement leads to increased reliability
E = ½ m v²

Circuit breaker
Circuit breaker dive mechanism from

ALSTOM’s FK3-1 range
− One hundred thousend units in
service
Helical compression springs for opening
and closing
− Most reliable spring design
Drive cubicle may double as central
termination box
− Centralized local operation

Circuit breaker
Interpole connection by short rotating

linkage
− Low energy dissipation
− Four rotationally stressed
sealings only
One drive coupling linkage
− Easy to connect

Circuit breaker
SF6 pipes with check valves located

above tanks
− Easy decoupling of gas
compartments
Central filling point with check
valves and DN8 coupling
− Allow access for topping up
gas and gas sampling
− Operator-friendly
− Safe access

Circuit breaker
Overpressure relief device at

rear end
− By means of
expansion springs
− Controlled blow-out
direction

Disconnector / earth switch

linkage
− Clearly separated from
other linkages
Position indicator directly

mounted on DS / ES input
shaft
− Allows for direct
detection of the
switching status

Drive mechanisms mounted on steel

stands
− No need for assembly at site
Drives already connected to central
control cubicle
− Connection made by weather-
proof Harting plugs
− Yet, not need to connect drive
wiring at site

Current transformer
Epoxy cast resin design

− Can be mounted on drive side
(standard), opposite side or both
sides of the circuit breaker
− Belated assembly possible (slip-over
design)
− Up to 5 multi-ratio cores per side
(depending on CT-specification)
− Integrated cable connection box 16
terminals (6mm²)
− Option: Cabling in separate pre-wired
CT-terminal box

Current transformer
Air insulated design

− Can be mounted on drive side
(standard), opposite side or both
sides of the circuit breaker
− Position above or below
disconnector/earth switch module
− Up to 5 multi-ratio cores per side
(depending on CT-specification)
− Aluminium covered
− Cabling in separate pre-wired CT-
terminal box

Voltage transformer (SF6 – type)
− With primary disconnector for

high voltage tests
− Without primary disconnector

Voltage transformer
Flexible design with multi-connection housing

− 760mm for fluid type
connections
Female contacts of various suppliers
can be mounted

Indicating devices / Interlocking

− Temperature compensated
reading on colour dial
− Electrical two-step alarm
• warning
• Lockout

Push buttons for local operation of circuit breaker and

disconnector / earth switch

Position indicators (option)
− Green / red illumination (LED‘s)
− Mechanical Semafor indicators

Intrinsic interlock between disconnector and Earth switch

Electrical interlocking between circuit breaker and disconnector /
earthing switch
− disconnector / earthing switch must not open or close when the
circuit breaker is closed
− disconnector / earthing switch can only operate when the circuit
breaker is open
− Cicuit breaker must not open or closed when the disconnector /
earthing switch is operating
− Circuit breaker shall automatically close when the earth switch‘s
function is completed

Transportation, installation, maintenance
Two packing units only
Sea transport Road transport

Two packing units only
Support
− Steel stands
− Drive mechanisms
• Mounted on steel stands
− Central control cubicle (if
applicable)
• Mounted on steel stands
Three phase switchgear unit
− Completely assembled and
factory-tested
− SF6 piping completely mounted
− Interphase linkages installed and
adjusted
− CT connection box, pre-wired

HYpact is designed for fast and easy site erection
To do at site
− Coupling of drive rods
− Mounting of current transformer
connection box
− SF6 density monitor wire
connection
− Top up gas to service pressure
− Commissioning test
No special tool required

HYpact maintenance cycle based on GIS-, not on AIS-

disconnector cycle
Due to compactness, HYpact‘s circuit breaker cannot be isolated with disconnectors
Conventional AIS disconnectors also cannot be safely isolated without switching off HV
lines or busbars
Maintenance of conventional AIS disconnectors and earthing switched required after
several years, after every short circuit
With HYpact, conventional AIS disconnectors and earthing switches become obsolete,
thus no frequent DS/ES maintenance required anymore
HYpact disconnectors and earthing switches are based on GIS technology
Long maintenance cycles as of GIS reached

Inspection
− Visual inspection on occasional base during station tours, latest after 6
years
• Corrosion
• SF6 gas pressure
• Ventilation ports and heating system
Maintenance
− Every 12 years
• Gas quality
• Cable joints and connecting linkages
• Function of electric control circuits
• Operation time
• Contact resistance
Reconditionning (normal service conditions)
− After 2.500-3000 operations at rated normal current or
− After a total current, i.e. 15 x rated breaking current
