Construction and mode of operation
The vacuum circuit-breaker consists of the pole assemblies

(1) and the operating mechanism box (2). The pole assem-
blies are fixed to the operating mechanism box via post
insulators (3). The switching movement is transferred by
means of operating rods (4) and levers.
Switching medium
The vacuum switching technology, proven and fully
1
developed for more than 30 years, serves as arc-quenching
principle by using vacuum interrupters.
Pole assemblies
The pole assemblies consist of the vacuum interrupters (6)
and the interrupter supports. The vacuum interrupters are

Operating mechanism box

The whole operating mechanism with releases, auxiliary
switches, indicators and actuating devices is accommodated
in the operating mechanism box. The extent of the second-
ary equipment depends on the case of application and offers
a multiple variety of options in order to meet almost every
requirement.
Operating mechanism
The operating mechanism is a stored-energy mechanism.
The closing spring is charged either electrically or manually.
It latches tight at the end of the charging process and serves
as an energy store. The force is transmitted from the operat-
R-HG11-191.tif
ing mechanism to the pole assemblies via operating rods.

To close the breaker, the closing spring can be unlatched
either mechanically by means of the local “ON” pushbutton Front view
or electrically by remote control. The closing spring charges
the opening or contact pressure springs as the breaker
closes. The now discharged closing spring will be charged
again automatically by the mechanism motor or manually.
Then the operating sequence OPEN-CLOSE-OPEN is stored
in the springs. The charging state of the closing spring can
be checked electrically by means of a position switch.
Trip-free mechanism
3AH3 vacuum circuit-breakers have a trip-free mechanism
according to IEC 62271-100. In the event of an opening
command being given after a closing operation has been
initiated, the moving contacts return to the open position
and remain there even if the closing command is sustained.
R-HG11-192.tif
This means that the contacts of the vacuum circuit-breakers

are momentarily in the closed position, which is permissible
according to IEC 62271-100.

Operating cycle diagram for 7.2 kV and 12 kV
20 000 The permissible number of electrical operating cycles is shown as a function

10 000 of the breaking current (r.m.s. value). All vacuum circuit-breakers fulfil the
Operating cycles
endurance classes E2, M2 and C2 according to IEC 62271-100. The

5 000
curve shape beyond the parameters defined in IEC 62271-100 is based on
2 000 average experience data. The number of operating cycles that can actually
be reached can be different depending on the respective application.

Number of operating cycles

The maximum permissible number of mechanical
operating cycles is 10,000. Short-circuit breaking operations
have been tested and proved under various conditions

Number of operating cycles

The maximum permissible number of mechanical
operating cycles is 10,000. Short-circuit breaking operations
have been tested and proved under various conditions
according to IEEE C37.013. As regards the electrical
endurance, values ranging beyond this depend on the
