SAFETY Each user is responsible for instructing all personnel associated with his equipment on all safety precautions which must be observed. The following are recommendations to be considered in a user's safety pro- gram. These reconmendations are not intended to supplant the user's responsi~ bility for devising a complete safety program and shall not be considered as such. They are rather suggestions to cover the more important aspects of per- sonnel safety related to circuit breakers. General Electric neither condones nor assumes any responsibility for user practices which deviate from these reconmendations. General 1. All personnel associated with installation, operation and maintenance of power circuit breakers should be’ thoroughly instructed and supervised regarding power equipment in general and, also, the particular model of equipment with which they are working. Instruction books and service advices should be closely studied and followed. 2, Maintenance programs’ must be well planned and carried out consistent, with both customer experierice and manufacturer's reconmendations includ- ing service advices and instruction books. Good maintenance is essential to breaker reliability and safety.

The. term “breaker” includes all equipment mounted on the circuit breaker foundation, i.e., if the compressor is mounted on. the circuit breaker frame, it is considered part of the breaker, but if it has its own separate foundation, it is not. 00 NOT work on an energized breaker. .If work has to be-performed:on the breaker, take it out of service, open the. disconnect switches at each Side of the breaker, then,close the breaker and,ground each phase. DO NOT work on any part of thé de-energized breaker until all control and heater power has been disconnected. DO NOT disassemble any portion of the air or gas systém of the de- energized breaker until that portion of the system has had the pressure reduced to zero psi by opening of the appropriate. drain valves. | when the air/gas pressure has been reduced to zero, cautiously remove covers, . tubes, fittings, ete. _If SFg is to be added to a pressurized system of 75 psig or less, extremé care is necessary during attachment and. removal of charging equipment. to Protect adjacent plumbing or other parts agdinst mechanical damage. Mea~ sures should be taken to protect personnel against sudden gas release from inadvertent breakage of adjacent parts. All higher, pressure systens should be discharged before attachments are made or removed. 00 NOT disassemble any part of the air supply-package until its ‘power’ supply has been removed and the high pressure air system Tine between compressor and storage tank has been drained down to zero pressure. All spring-charged mechanisms related to a breaker must be serviced only by skilled and knowledgeable personnel. capable of releasing each spring Joad in a controlled manner. Particular care must be exercised to keep Personnel clear of mechanisms which are to be operated or released. In- formation on construction of such mechanisms is provided in the instruc- tion book. for the particular breaker. Note: This breaker is air opened and spring closed so that the operating spring is in the fully charged position when the breaker is open. If there is any evidence of or suspected deterioration of breaker di- electric capability, the yard and adjacent, areas should be promptly Cleared of personnel, The breaker should then be de-energized by “back- ups" and isolated by disconnect switches.9. 028347641 Rev. 2 GEK-39797 Operational tests and checks should te nade on a breaker after main- tenance, before it is returned to service, to ensure that it is capable of operating properly. The extent of such tests and checks should be consistent with the level of maintenance performed. Sul fur-hexafluoride Gas (SF¢) Sulfur-hexafluoride gas in its natural state is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas with an extremely low order of toxicity. It is chemically and physiologically inert and‘non-flanmable. The SFy gas is approximately 5.5 times as heavy as air. Since it is colorless and odorless care should be exercised when handling the gas to provide good ventilation. SFg gas escaping into a closed roon or pit will float at the lower levels and can cause .a possible oxygen shortage. The SFg gas when exposed to electrical arcing, may form toxic de- composition products. These may be evident as an unpleasant odor and a small amount of very fine powdery material will be found in the tank. Before a tank containing SFg is entered for maintenance it should be evacuated, then cleaned thoroughly with equipment capable of separating very fine dust particles and then flushed with dry air to provide oxygen to the normal level of air. . The oxygen concen- tration should be checked at the bottom.of the tank, thru the desiccant port, using an oxygen analyzer. Approximately: two hours of air purging will remove most of the unpleasant odor. When entering the tank, an air mask on, rescue breathing apparatus should be worn. Powder or dust found should be removed while wearing gloves and respirator and the hands, face, etc. carefully washed if they have been exposed to the powder. It is advisable to always wear a mask and gloves for a detailed inspection or contact. replacement, even after removing the fine powder: and purging with clean air. Breaker warning nameplate.

One interrupter per phase containing one set of contacts to provide one break for interruption. The three-phase, puffer types SF5 gas circuit breaker consists of three individual pole units. See Fig. 1. Each pole unit consists of a grounded sin- gle pressure gas-filled vessel enclosing current-carrying and interrupting con- Ponents. The two entrance. bushings are also’gas filled with gas common to the vessel. The SFg gas: system is charged to 65 to 75 psig at 20°C (68°F). Pressure is determined by’ standards to which breaker is sold. The bushing-type current transformers are mounted external to the entrance bushings. The breaker inéludes a single pneumatic operating mechanism with associated linkages for operating the three.interrupters. The air operated piston is used to open the breaker for interruption and at the same time charge the closing springs for the next closing operation. The air receiver 18 mounted under the contro] enclosure. The unit.also mounts’one conipressor in. the control enclosure. All electrical, mechanical and gas connections between poles. are conriected to the control enclosure’ mounted ‘at the Pole One end of the breaker *The gas breaker will “hold line-to-ground voltage at zero, psig on an energized transmission line where no voltage disturbances are present, but it should be removed from the system as a safety precaution. An opening operation should: not be performed below the minimum gas pressure or minimum operating air. pressure. The back-up ‘breakers should be opened to isolate a.breaker which-has low gas pres- sure if it is desirable to take the unit out of, service. The SF6 system should Nat be permitted to drop more than 6 psi below'a 65 psi system or 11 psi below a 75 psi system. See Fig. 8. Additional: gas should be-added to restore the system to rated pressure when the pressure drops five psig below normal. The breaker may remain*energized, in the open position, with no damage to the capacitors for normal operating conditions. When the breaker.will be in the open position for extended periods it is recommended it be isolated from the system -by opening the disconnect switches. : 12GEK-39797 PACKAGING AND SHIPPING The breaker is shipped from the factory by one truck and consists of the items shown in Fig. 2 and 2A.

These instructions are supplemented by a set of drawings supplied with the breaker. The type of drawings furnished includes the outline, assenbly, elec- trical elementary, electrical devices and ratings list, and breaker summary. These drawings together with others that the customer may have requested are contained’ in an envelope attached to the breaker instruction book. The breaker instruction book is shipped with the breaker and stored in a special pocket on the electrical control house door.on Pole One. The specific drawing. number for a particular drawing can be found on Page.2 of the summary. The sunmary drawing nunber is also the breaker serial number. Each breaker thereafter is identified by a mark number, e.g.. for summary number 028347900 the breaker serial number would be 0283A7900-201 for the first breaker-on that summary. Subsequent num- bers would be 0283A7900-202, etc. The summary sheets identify the various components that go to make up a complete breaker. These items have a brief description and a drawing number. It is the breaker number which is keyed to the field assembly drawings for easy identification. See Fig. 2 for a typical breakdown of identity numbers. Al] ‘instructions and drawings should be reviewed by the appropriate personnel before any work is performed on the breaker. It is assumed that the breaker will be located on a reasonably level founda- tion and properly shimmed and secured with anchor bolts. Foundation is to pro- vide uniform support to SFg gas tank and not add any’ stress to the tank. Space must be provided for opening the control house doors and making the necessary control connections. Space should be allowed at the end of each pole to allow for possible future maintenance of the internal parts of the breaker. Should flood conditions exist the foundation must be sufficiently high to assure the contro] house is above the high water level. ANI standard safety practices, codes and ordinances should be followed during erection and operation of the breaker. CAUTION Open drain valves when working on the gas or air system, even though the gage indicates zero pressure. VvGEk-39797 The SFg gas tanks are charged to a positive pressuré using dry SFg gas to main- tain the initial clean, dry condition. Tanks will not be opened at installation. @ Use special care when Femoving the protective cover from the entrance bushings. IMPORTANT. Keep all air tubing ends covered until installation.

The valve stem is 1/4 inch square and should be operated with 1/4 inch square Socket to prevent damage to stem. No covers have to be removed at jnstalTation. Filling with SF5 gas: A The moisture content of thé-SFg gas should be 150 pmm, by volume, or less. One cylinder should be checked with a suitable hygro- meter before using the supply. Obtain the filter-dryer-hose assembly from the breaker tools” Tten 13 as 0283A73176001 or 0215X3027P01, See Fig. 7. Typical gas sampling instrument for mofsture. (1) The reconmended ‘instrument for measuring moisture content of } the gas is an electrolytic hygrometer. (2) Read the instructions carefully for the specific instrument to be used and follow the manufacturer's instructions. A standard electrolytic hygroneter js discussed in these in- structions. (3) Connect the instrument's Sample line to the charging valve on the tank using a pressure regulator, if required. “The corinecting tube should be a small diameter, 1/8 inch outside diameter or less, stainless steel tube for best results. A 1/4 inch outside diameter copper tube may be used, but time to true reading will be increaged. Never use a hose or other Plastic tubing, Since moisture in the tube may cause errors ‘in reading true ppm. (4) Connect the twist-lock power plug to the receptacle on the rear of the instrument. Plug the cord into a 115-volt, 60-cycle, a-c power source. Operation of the electrolytic hygrometer is as follows: a. Dry the instrument by allowing a small quantity of gas to flow through. Adjust the flow rate on the sample flow meter to'95 cubic centimeters per minute for SFg by means of the valve restrictor control. aGEK-39797 b. Adjust the flow through the bypass flow meter to 100 cubic centimeters per minute by means of the by-pass flow con- trol. ‘ c. Turn: the.range selector switch to the standby range. This turns the instrument on., Allow the instrument to dry for approximately .30 minutes. After 30 minutes, turn the range selector switch to the desired range. The needle will be on scale if the instrument. is sufficiently dried. d. If the meter. trips the alarm, return the range selector switch to a standby position and push the alarm reset button:. -Pass dry gas through the instrument for an addi- tional five. minutes, checking: as described above. e. If a high reading: persists, check all connections for tightness. Then run’ the SF6 at a‘higher flow.rate for three to four minutes (selector switch on standby), reset the rate and recheck the reading. This may have tobe doné several times to insure that the high reading is not due to local contamination in the reducing valve or con- necting plumbing. f. vihen thé instrument is sufficiently dry, turn: the range selector switch to the desired range. g. The measuring of moisture content of the breaker can be speeded up and.reliability. of readings ‘can. be increased if the instrument and gas transfer lines are dried with dry nitrogen immediately before usage and allowed to re- main on nitrogen flow between uses. (5) While drying the instrument as instructed above, loosen the fitting nearest the instrument to permit gas to bleed through the line. This will purge the line at the same time the in- strument is being dried. (6) The moisture content of the gas -before transferring into the breaker should be 150 parts per million (ppm) or less. When readings are below this value start transferring gas to the breaker. At no time should the moisture content exceed 150 ppm during the transfer cycle. (7) BECKMAN METER The following instructions must be followed in order to insure the proper operation of this meter. CAUTION: DAMAGE TO THE METER CELL WILL RESULT IF THE FOLLOW- ING INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT. FOLLOWED: Prior to placing the meter on the line, pass dry gas through the sampling system to make sure it is clear of all foreign’ substances such as ofl, water, metal chips, etc. 28GEK-39797 b. Place the meter on the line but do not turn on the elec- trical power until the dry gas has been flowing through the meter for a minimum of one-half hour. If the cell is very wet, it will be wise to allow the meter to dry for at Teast four to six hours. (THE NETER CELL CAN BE PER- MANENTLY ‘DAMAGED BY THE PRESENCE OF: WET GAS WHILE THE CELL IS ENERGIZED. } NOTE: Anvalternate method of performing Step 2 would be to pass a dry gas (such as nitrogen) other than : the gas to be tested. through the meter for the specified dryina times. c. After the meter has been dried, the electrical power to the meter may be turned on and the meter placed on stand- by. It should be allowed to warm up for a minimum of one-half hour. d. After its initial. warm-up, the meter may then be used to take readings by starting at the highest range scale, and working down until the correct range setting has been found. If the meter reads off scale on the highest range setting, the meter is not dry enough. Electrical power should be removed from the meter and dry gas should again be passed through the meter. e. When the tests have been completed, cap the intake and exhaust Fittings to prevent excessive moisture from entering the meter cell. General notes on leak rate and leak détection. Charge the system with SFg to approximately 20 psig and check for leaks. Repair any leaks discovered. NOTE: If any gas other than SFg is used to pressurize the system for checking leaks, the system must be-evacuated before filling with the final SF charge. If no leaks are found continue filling to the equivalent of normal Pressure at 20 degrees C (see.Fig. 8) and perform the final leak check. If a leak is found at any joint, replace the "0" ring and examine the sealing surfaces for defects. After all repairs have been completed fill the system and make a final leak check. The maximum permissible design leakage is 5.0 psig per year. The rise and fall of pressure should be observed for a period of one month to determine the loss due to. leakage. Changes in pressure due to temperature fluctuations can be obtained from Fig. 8 and must be taken into consideration. An allowance equal to about 1% psig for every five degrees C should be made for variation in tem- perature. At temperatures lower than 20 degrees C, fill to the lower pressure, and at higher temperatures #111 to the higher pressure. 29a2 Ag 6 GEK-39797 “If leakage is determined in excess of five psig per year, use an SFg gas leak detector at all gasketed, bolted or flared joints. NOTE: “When the SFg pressure is found to be five psig below the initial charging pressure (taking temperature changes. into consideration) additional SF¢ gas should be added to the breaker. See Fig. 8. If an SFG instrument is not available, a high viscosity solution, suchas “Leak Tec Formula 277CHV" can be used. The solution should be cleaned: fron the surface when the leak checking is completed by using a clean damp cloth. Place a éylinder near’a charging valve @s'shown by position @ and He to.the breaker beam for safety. Remove the cap and turn the discharge ed. of the valve to face the charging valve in the tank.

Rewove and install -ddapter on ‘the charging valve on the tank. Tighten all connections, then loosen’ the nut on the hose at the charging valve end with the charging valve closed. Slowly open the valve on the SFg cylinder for about one minute to purge the gas transfer. assembly. Shut off the.cylinder valve and tighten-the nut. ~The. connection-is now filled with SFe gas and ready to fill the breaker tank: No regulation is required-with the filter-dryer. .An orifice with 0.05 inch diameter is installed in the filter end of transfer hose to control the flow rate with the gas cylinder inverted for liquid flow. Open the valve at the breaker, then the cylinder valve. The filling process can be detected by sound or condensation on the Fittings, pressure increase. on the SFs gages or weight loss of, the “SF6 cylinder. NOTE: The dryer should be replaced after having been used with 50 “cylinders of gas. It is suggested a mark. be placed on the dryer to record each cylinder used. The ‘dryer hose assembly should be capped at both ends when not in use. Each SFg gas cylinder will weigh about 225 pounds filled, with the gas content being constant at 115 pounds. 1. One ‘phase-can probably be filled from one cylinder using the cylinder with its valve at the top (gas transfer). Approximately 60 pounds of gas is used per phase... Thé gas flow may stop, due to-the chilling, and the cylinder will have to be heated in a barrel of hot water to change the liquid SFg to the vapor state for gas. transfer. Do not apply a highly condentrated heat source directly to the cylinder. 30Fig. 7 (8918825F, 89192676) GEK-39797 Plug Plug - 1/4 - 20 Screw “O” Ring Adapter to Cylinder - Left-hand Thread Filter -.Dryer Orifice, - 0.052 Diameter Hole Not Illustrated Hose Charging Valve SFg Gas Cylinder Fig. 7.

The last phase to be filled will be using partial cylinders and will require heating or liquid flow. Using a rope sling, tl cylinder can be supported from the shipping bars, position (1), near each charging valve with its shut-off valve at the bottom. Liquid transfer is very fast and can overpressure the SFg tank when using a full cylinder or a cylinder with greater than 60 pounds of gas. 3. During the filling of a phase a calibrated gage should be used to monitor the phase pressure to be sure the tank is not subject to +" overpressure. Overpressure of approximately 130 psig will oper- ate the emergency relief valve which would have to be removed to replace the Sealing gasket and the phase would require vacuum evacuation. : Refer to detail@for location.of calibrated gage and monitoring of each phase pressure in the left side of control enclosure. 1. The breaker is shipped with a slight positive SFg gas pressure in each gas tank. The pressure may not show on the gage. A quick check .can be made as follows: “ (a) Close all Ya" valves (1)," (2) and (3), Fig. 3, and open "b' and “c" valves (4), (5) and (6). {b) Open one "a" valve and there should be a slight gas flow from valve "c". Check all three "a" valves. (c) A vacuum at valve-"c" would indicate the phase has a possible leak. Fill to 15 psig and check the phase with an SFg gas leak detector. If no leaks are found continue to fill to full pressure. 2. Attach a customer's master calibrated gage to the (c) drain valve (6) and open the valve.. The gage should be attached with a tee and drain valve.” {a) Open the two (b) balancing valves (4) and (5) between the "pole lines. (b) Close the three (a) shut-off valves (1), (2), and (3). To read the: individual pressures do not open more than one valve at a time during filling ofa pole. The valve (a) to be opened, should be in the Tine to the pole that is being filled. (c) To determine the tank's body temperature, a thermometer should be attached to the shaded side of the tank with “dux-seal” or equal. Do not read in less than fifteen minutes after attach- ‘ing. ; (d) Consult the pressure-temperature nameplate, located above the pressure ‘switch terminal board, and determine the fill pres~ sure desired.

Pressure will rise one psig after the gas: flow is shut off, due to liquid gas in the tank, when-the liquid transfer method of filling is used. See breaker nameplate for normal: pressure at sea level conditions. Correct as necessary for breaker elevation. (a) Shut off the SFg cylinder valve and charging valve and stowly loosen the connection at the cylinder to drain the pressure from the fitter-dryer and fill hose. 7 (b) Replace the’ plug in end of adapter to Keep dirt and air out of the filter-dryer. Replace the safety cap on the SFg cylinder, and remove the cylinder. (c) Remove the filter-dryer assembly and replace the plug in the hose end ‘or transfer to the next charging valve immediately. {d) Connect the cylinder to the.next phase.

Allow the gas pres- sure to balance for twelve hours and then recheck the pressure per steps (a) through (d) of Section 2. If additional gas is needed repeat steps (a) through (e) and add equal amounts of gas to each breaker tank through its charging valve. For small additions of gas the cylinder should remain in the up- right position for gas flow instead: of liquid flow. Return valves to normal. (Valves 1, 2 and 3 open, valves 4, 5 and 6 closed.)

Bring the customer's power leads di- rectly into the breaker control enclosure located on Pole One through the bottom of, right side. Attach the customer's leads to the terminal boards per the wiring drawing. . Electrical Control The electrical control house is prewired with all lead wires to current trans- formers and the mechanism house connected. The customer's power and auxiliary circuit leads must be attached to the e breaker in the electrical control house. The leads must be brought through the bottom of the house after removing the special cut-out panel provided in the right side. . 40GEK-39797 Mechanism The contro] coils and auxiliary switches located on each mechanism are wired into the circuit, as needed, or terminated at terminal boards. Control Circuits The control circuit of the breaker consists of the components necessary to energize the trip and close coils on the mechanism controls, sense the position of the breaker and control (open or closed) and prevent breaker operations if un- safe or unsatisfactory conditions exist. The close or trip signals are normally input from the overall power system control circuit but may be input from the Push buttons on the main panel in the electrical control house. The push buttons are only used for testing. The manual trip may also be used to open the breaker and this signal may not be negated until the #69 switch is reset. The manual trip. is_to be used only when the air and Sfg gas systems are above minimum pressure. ameplate 1s located fear the control as a rentnder of those conditions for operation. When operated the closing circuit is isolated by the "69" switch until the switch lever is reset. See Fig. 50, Item 6. A mechanical blocking device (8), Fig. 12, is provided in the mechanism which can be inserted into the pilot valve and prevent the mechanism from tripping. This device will operate a "29" switch which wil? block the closing circuit unti? removed. The device (8), Fig. 12, should be inserted in only the closed position and should be in place during any inspection or maintenance work. The maintenance operating screw for opening and closing the breaker should never be in place un- less the pilot valve is blocked and the breaker is in the closed position, with all air and control power removed when installing or removing the operating screw (2), Fig. 12. ‘ Additional functions which must be performed include alarm for tow pressure air in the storage systems and SFg gas differential indication between phases. Closing Operation - See Fig. 11 : When.the breaker is to be closed a signal is impressed on the closing portion of the control circuit. Assuming the air pressure is sufficiently high, the manual trip has not been operated or the trip pilot valve is not blocked and the breaker is inthe open position, the normal sequence of events is as follows. Minimum gas pressure is a visual check with no electrical interlock. Gas inter- locks are an optional extra. When a separate 63 CTX relay is used for Trip #1 and Trip #2 both trip circuits have to be energized in order to pick up both 63 CTX relays for a closing operation. 1. A, The closing coil is energized. B. The 52Y relay is energized thru a diode. After a time-delay pickup of two cycles it will isolate the close coil from the power source. 2. The control coil operates to release the mechanical latch allowing the closing springs to drive the interrupters to the breaker-closed position. The closing coil is isolated from the power source, after completing its function, by the 52Y relay. 41GEK-39797 «NORMALLY CLOSED De-ENERGTZED. Nonmacty oPen Renn oN 2.

The auxiliary switch operates (to the breaker-closed position) (A) closing a11 52a switch contacts. * The contacts in the trip coil cir- cuit are delayed until the main contacts close, minus two to plus two milliseconds, in order to provide for proper interruption during @ close-open operation. (B) opening al] 52b-switch contacts. 4. The 52Y relay is sealed in through the 52a switch locking in the 52Y relay to the close ‘signal. 5. The circuit will rémain in the closed position with additional close signals ‘blocked by the 52¥ relay until the original close signal is re- moved. 6. When the close signal is removed the 52Y rélay will be de-energized and the breaker will rémain in the closed position. Opening Operation - See Fig. 11 When: the breaker is to be opened, ‘contacts are: closed inthe trip circuit. Assuming-the breaker has sufficient air pressure, no pilot valve is blocked, and is in the closed position; the trip coil is energized and releases the mechanical trip latches to allow the air pilot valves to operate and, in turn, open the main air valves admitting air tothe driving pistons which will open the breaker. The, 52a switches remove the voltage from the trip coils when the auxiliary switch moves to the breaker-open position.. ihen ‘the mechanism approaches the end of its stroke a mechanically operated cam will reset the pilot valve to stop the air flow into the driving piston. The trip latch will reset when the trip signal has been removed by the 52a switch. If the breaker receives a trip (open) signal while the breaker is. closed and ‘the closed signal is still impressed on, the circuit, the breaker will open but will not close again.» This is prevented by the anti-pump feature of the circuit and is due to the 52Y contacts which prevent the continued closing signal from energizing the closing coils. 48Control System Operation GEK-39797 Condition to Close Condition to Open (Trip) ole Initial | Signal Initial | Signal Signal | Held On | Signal | Held On Close Signal On i x Trip Signal On x x Close Coil Energized | x ‘Desenergized x x x Trip Coil Energized : K De-energized x x x Latch Closing Trip | Unlatched| Latched | Latched Opening latched | Latched | Trip *Latched Auxiliary Switch Breaker-closed Position x x 52a closed 52b open Breaker-open Position x x 52a open 52b closed "y" Relay (52¥) Energized x x De-energized 63 cT Closed (Open-Optional) x x x x Above 233 Above 228 if pressure has not been below 228 (decreasing) ‘Trip signal is removed by 52a switch and pilot valve has been reset by a mechanical cam.

The.breaker may be operated by energizing the trip coil momentarily to open or by energizing the closing coil momentarily to close. CLOSING OPERATION (See Fig. 14) When the closing coil is energized, ‘the armature is attracted and rotates clockwise ‘in the direction of the arrow. The hook will be released and rotate counterclockwise in the direction of the arrow and release the main latch. The rotation of the latch counterclockwise on the roller of the lever will re- lease the operating rod which in turn willbe ‘driven to the closed position by the closing ‘springs. When the closing operation is completed the operating Tever will have been driven up and held against the closed stop by the closing springs. The operating rod will drive the oi1 dashpot to the upper end.’ The- oi] dash- pot has a minimum of retarding force on closing. The energy of the springs. is used in driving the three puffer pistons and closing the contacts in all three poles. The operating rod will rotate the outér and inner cranks counterlockwise on al] three poles to push onthe insulated operating rods and drive the puffer cylinders and:close the contacts. The outer crank is outside the gas system. It is connected to the inner crank in the gas system by means of a heavy shaft rotating in a double "0" ring gas séaled bearing. , OPENING OPERATION (See Fig. 14, 15 and 16) When either of the opening coils (see Fig. 15, view b) is energized the armature is attracted to the.core and rotates clockwise in the direction of the arrow. The hook will release the lever and the upper valve spring will rapidly drive the upper valve right to the open position.” The lever is rotated counter- Clockwise by its connection to the end of the upper valve rod. ‘The upper valve will seal the discharge port "A" to atmosphere and open the pilot valve seal to the main air supply "8" allowing air to enter chamber "Cc". The pressure ‘buildup in chamber "C" will drive the charging valve down. . The charging valve seal to the main air supply "F" is opened allowing ‘air pressure to rapidly rise in chamber "E" and drive the main valve to the left (see Fig. 16). The main valve seal to the air intake "6" is opened allowing the air:pressure in chamber "H" to rise ‘rapidly and drive the operating piston to the right for approximately 5.12 inches where it will be stopped’ by a buffer at the end of the operating cylinder. , 51GEK-39797 The operating rod will pull the dashpot to the lower end controlling the, @ opening speed and provide dashpot action at the fully open’end. (See Fig. 14.) ‘The operating piston will overtravel sufficiently to allow the closing latch to rotate clockwise and fall in behind the roller of the reset lever. The closing hook will in turn rotate-clockwise and fall in behind the latch. | The armature spring will rotate the armature counterlockwise to secure the hook and complete the latched opening operation. Near the ‘end of the piston stroke a reset link will rotate a cam‘ under the opening_lever #2 (see Fig. 15, view c) and return it clockwise to its latch posi- tion. This will pick up the upper valve to recharge its spring and close its seal between the pilot piston and the main air supply. The air in chamber "C" will be discharged to atmosphere thru the'discharge port "A" when the upper valve is resét. The charging valve will then move up and seal off the main.valve chamber “E" from the "F" air supply. The air in chamber "E":will be discharged to atnos- phere thru port "D", The air in the operating cylinder. will flow to atmosphere thru the exhaust port. . (See. Fig. 16.) The exhaust is vented outside the mech-~ anism enclosure thru a tube in the floor. . As the air pressure. inside the operat- ing cylinder decreases the operating piston will move slightly to the left and reset roller will stop against the closing latch to hold the, closing spring com pressed for the next closing operation. When the opening ‘coil’ is de-energized. (see Fig. 15, view d),-the armature will rotate counterclockwise to its original position and allow the hook to latch lever #2, There will be a small clearance between the hook and lever #2 due to the lever #2 having been overtraveled by the reset cam. This clearance remains until @ the breaker is closed and the reset. cam has, rotated free of the lever #2, The lever #2.will then be held by the hook ready for the. next trip operation. The opening piston will pull on the operating rod and, in turn, the insulated operating rod to. drive the three puffer cylinders at high speed. The SFg gas in each puffer cylinder is compressed and the SF6 gas blast extinguishes the arc generated between the separated arcing, contacts. INTERRUPTION (See Figs. 17 and 18)” ‘The basic puffer breaker interrupter is shown by Fig. 17 with identical units being used. in the SFg gas tank’ of each pole... The units are synchronized mecha- nically and driven by the operating linkage with the mechanism on Pole One. Use the following description for Fig. 17. e When fully closed the-moving coritact (13) has been moved to the right, ap- proximately 15-millineters (0.59 inch), compressing spring (15) by the stationary contact, (3).. -The current-carrying contacts (12) will engage the end of the sta- tionary contact (3) to provide the primary current-carrying path thru the inter- Pupter, The three equally spaced, short. Contact. segrents. (10) do not make contact on the stationary-contact (3). . The segments (10) are the same length as segments (12) but are modified to remove the left end contact area and to make contact with the moving contact (13)-only. They serve two purposes. The first is to carry the prinary current momentarily during an opening operation and prevent = @ arcing between the segments (12), and the stationary contact (3) when they part. 5214 (014304221 Rev. 0) Fig 75 056 =p! paar suman smTON (LOSED STATE Trip oil energized Trip latch released Spring drives pilot velve open ]_——oreranne no io PEN iS is |_—oreearine R00 f QPERATING STATE See Fig. 18 for electronegnetic valve operation to supply air to space "E". When space "é" of the main valve is filled with compressed air, the valve moves left per Fig. 16 to fill space "A", adjacent to the operating piston, with compressed air fron the air receiver, and the operating piston is rapidly driven to ‘the right. This force drives the puffer cylinders at high speed via the operating rod and the insulated operating rod in the interrupting tanks. Accordingly, SF5 2s in the puffer cylinder is compressed, and the SF gas blast extinguishes the fare generated between the separated arcing and stationary contacts, GEK-39797 \ cLOseD OPEN STATE, Sinu1tancously with opening operation, the reset lever turns, and upon corpletion of operation, the pilot pressed air in space "E to the original position. ‘open state is retained by hook and armature) The closing ed ‘the arrow ai tion by the ¢ fe returns to its original position.

When the opening coil is energized the magnetic attraction between the arma~ ture and its core will cause the armature to rotate clockiise which in turn will cause the hook to rotate clockwise and release the lever #2. The upper valve spring will drive the uppet valve to the right and seal port @ as it opens the pilot valve. The lever #2 will rotate counterclockwise. Air will flow from chamber "B" to chamber "C" driving the charging valve down. The air in chamber "F" will flow into chamber "E" causing ‘the main valve to open and drive the operating piston (see Fig. 16) to the open’ position. When the operating piston is near the end of-its stroke the resetting link, Fig. 16, will drive the resetting cam to the position shown by Fig. 15, view c. The lever #2 will be rotated clockwise pulling the upper valve to the left. ‘Tie pilot valve will seal chamber "B" from the. chamber "C" and the air in chamber "C" will escape to atmosphere thru port "A". The charging valve wil] close and seal chamber "F" from chamber-"E". The air @ ‘in chamber "E" will escape to atmosphere thru port: "D". The main valve, Fig: 16, then closes and séals the chamber "H" from the main air supply "G" arid’allows the air in the operating pistori to escape to atmosphere. When the opening coil is de-enerigzed the armature will be released and the position of the ports will be as shown by Fig. 15, View d. then the ports ‘are in the open state the opening coil cannot be used to trip the linkage since the can will prevent the lever #2 from moving. During the next closing operation the cam will be rotated as shown by Fig. 15, view'a and-the valve can now be operated for an opening operation.

The moving contact (13) will engage the end of the stationary contact (3) before the segments (12). When seg- ment (12) hit the contact (3) they will bounce, but the current path will be mo- mentarily thru the contact segments (10). Neither segment (10 or 12) will have any arcing, The arc will be drawn between arc resistant tips (8 and 9) when they part. The driving shaft (16) for the puffer cylinder (23) will be pulled rapidly to the right as the mechanisn operates to the. open position, The rapid movement of the cylinder (23) will compress the Sg gas. from normal pressure to approximately 150 psig. The gas is prevented from escaping the cylinder by the check valve tring (21) and the insulated nozzle (4) and cover (5). As the cylinder (23) moves to the right the spring (15) will keep the moving contact (13) in contact with the stationary contact (3) while the current segments (12) separate from the contact (3).with no arcing. The cylinder (23) will continue to move with gas pressure increasing. The moving contact (13) will continue to contact stationary contact (3) until the right end is stopped against the contact base (25). Additional movement of the cylinder (23) will part the contacts (3 and 13) and the arc to be interrupted will be established between the arc resistant tips (8 and 9). The arc willbe established approximately when the tips (8 and 9) are leaving the cover (5). The blast-releasing exhaust ports, one at the nozzle (4) and the other at the end of the hollow puffer cylinder shaft (16), open simultaneously, approximately one quarter of the way through the stroke. This delaying of the gas blast allows more rapid pressure buildup within the cylinder (23) and maximizes interrupting capacity. The axial nature of the cas blast, made possible by exhaust ports on both sides of the arcing contact, is effective in stretching and cooling the arc. Total blast time varies from 16 to 25 milliseconds, depending on current being interrupted. Total stroke is 6.3 inches with gap of 5.7 inches in the open posi- tion for each interrupter. The Fixed piston (22) contains a.check valve (21), open on the closing stroke and shut on. the tripping stroke, to rapidly recharge the cylinder with gas during closing. Full interrupting capacity is provided with gas densities corresponding to gas pressure fron 59 to 75.psig at 200C. Device Descriptions Capacitors (See Fig. 1) Each interrupter is accompanied by parallel voltage-grading capacitors to evenly distribute interrupting duty. The capacitors are stacks of ceramic capa- citor modules housed in teflon tubes. Capacitance is 300 picofarads minimum per break. No line-to-ground capacitance is used. Maximum leakage current through these parallel capacitors when the breaker is open is approximately 0.1 ampere. 57GEK-39797 L 3. 4a 5. 6. 7 8: 10. i. 12. 13. 14 6. 16. 17.

Inspection ports for maintenance access to interrupters are located along one side. The linkage penetration is located at one end. The tanks are ASME-coded vessels operating at a maximum of 75 psig normal SFg gas pressure at 20°C. Internal energized portions are supported by epoxy resin/aluminun oxide standoff insulators, resistant to potentially corrosive Sf¢ arcing by-products. The insulated operating rod, made of fiber-reinforced plastic, is coated to likewise be impervious to the arcing by-products SFg gas decomposed during’ arcing is recombined with contact material to form copper or tungsten florides and forms a vihite powder over’ the tank interior. This powder, although insulating when dry, becones conductive and forms corrosive gas in the presence of excessive moisture. To prevent such moisture concentra~ tions in the gas, the following steps are taken: 1, Tank joints are sealed with "0" rings in machined grooves to minimize moisture entry and gas leakage. 2. Standoff insulators are baked prior ’to final assembly to eliminate resi- dual moisture. 3. Molecular sieves are furnished’ inside inspection ports to absorb moisture and corrosive gases. : 7 4. Insulating materials have been selected which resist degradation by cor- rosive gases. Bushing (See Fig. 1) There are two gas-filled bushings on each pole unit. Gas is common to the bushings and associated- tank without any separating internal barriers. The por- celain is a single piece with top and bottom flanges for bolting to the terminal plate and bushing pocket, respectively. The hollow bushing conductor is bolted ‘to the bottom side of the top terminal plate, passes downward through the throat shield (used to prevent corona discharge as the conductor passes through the bushing pocket) and connects to a tulfp contact cluster mounted on the top side of the stationary portion of the interrupter. A conductor guide is located in the center of the tulip cluster to insure proper conductor alignment during bush- ing installation. Top and bottom grading rings are located externally: for shaping electric fields. Sg GAS MONITORING SYSTEM (See Fig. 19 and Fig. 20) An SF6 gas pressure differential type monitoring system is furnished to pro- vide an alarm circuit when the tank-to-tank oressure differential reaches six Psig. Additional contacts can be furnished, as an optional feature, to provide @ command signal at 11 psig differential. This can be used as an alarm, trip, or lockout Signal. The minimum operating pressure is 59 psig at 20°C for full 59GEK-39797 Closed Position \n omet (enor al ttlonary contact % Opening Stage Fig. 18 Interruption - Principle of 60GEK-39797 dielectric strength and interrupting capacity. Below this the breaker should be isolated from the system. Reduced back pressure in the puffer cylinders can also result. in danage from excessively high operating speeds and prevents safe opera- tion, for maintenance purposes, below the 59 psig limit. The leaks must be repaired and gas brought up to normal pressure at 20°C before the breaker is returned to service. See Fig. 8 and breaker nameplate. SF6 in the gaseous state wi]] show a change in pressure as its temperature is changed. This is represented by the curve on the graph, Fig. 8. The graph shows the normal SFg pressure in the breaker from minus 30 to plus 60 degrees C or the nameplate on the pressure differential system can be used. Fig, 23 dupli- cates this nameplate for both a 65 psig and a 75 psig system. Testing System Pressure A valving arrangement to check the SF5 gas pressure alarm switch has been built into the gas system and may be used in the following manner. Refer to Fig. 24. 1. Open valves (1), (2), (3) and (7) (when furnished), Fig. 24, and close valves (4), (5) and (6), Fill each phase from the charging valve on the SF6 gas tank to the desired pressure. 2, Open all valves except (6), Fig. 24. ' Allow the three phase gas pressure to balance for a ninimuin of 12 hours. See Fig. 8 for pressure as a function of temperature. Total deviation of the gage readings may be a maximum of six psig, plus or minus three psig with respect to actual pressure. Use a master test gage on valve (6) to determine the system pressure. Mark each gage face with the plus or minus deviation from the system pressure. When 2 mas- ter gage is not available average al] three gages and cali this’"System Pressure". Pointer may be pulled with a "pointer lifter" and reset to match the calibrated gage. 3. Close valves (4), (5) and (6) and the system will function to give an alarm or command signal as the pressure between poles becomes unbalanced. 4. Check all pressures after the breaker has been de-energized a minimum. of six hours. These readings should be taken early in the morning. The tenperature of the SFE tank should be used as the gas temperature. See Fig. 8 for pressures at the recorded temperature. 61GEK-39797 Pole One Gas Connection Geese. - Pole One.Safety Valve - 110 psig Pole One Shutoff Valve aa Pole One Gage Pole Two Safety Valve - 119 psig Pole Two Shutoff Valve Balance Valve - Pole One to Pole 12.

Pressure Switch’ Adjusting General Information The pressure switch should always. be’ adjusted using a calibrated test gage. There is no gage on the breaker with sufficient accuracy to set any pressure switch. They are for general indication of. system pressure. The actual setting, will bé found in'the content sheet furnished with all breaker instruction books. For quick reference the following table lists the standards. “PRESSURE SWITCH SETTINGS 63AL—CLOSES‘ON DESCENDING PRESSURE ¥236 + 3 PSI OPENS ON ASCENDING PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL 5 +3 pst 63CT-1 _ OPENS ON DESCENDING PRESSURE 5 4228 + 2 PSI CLOSES ON ASCENDING PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL : 5 +3 og Acact2 _ OPENS ON DESCENDING PRESSURE ¥228 + 2 PSI CLOSES, ON ASCENDING PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL 5,43 PSI "ea1-2 OPENS ON DESCENDING’ PRESSURE 220 +3 PST.

No replace- ment parts are listed except the complete device. The opening and closing points of the pressure switches must be in accor- dance with the requirements for each switch application. When observing the pressure gage reading, it is recommended to gently tap the gage to be sure the needle is operating freely. Each pressure switch contains electrically and mechanically independent operating switches and each switch can be independently adjusted for setting the opening or closing point, but not the differential between these points. The compressor governor switch (63G)closes its contacts on descending Pressure ‘to energize the magnetic starter and de-energize at a predetermined Point. The low pressure alarm switch (63AL) has been set to close its contact on descending pressure. The close and trip lock-out switch (63CT) has its.contacts set to open on descending pressure to prevent the closing or opening of the breaker at rediiced pressure. The trip lock-out switch (631-2) has its contacts set to open on descending pressure to prevent a trip signal from being applied ‘to trip #2 by the 63CT-2, when it has been set to close on descending pressure until pressure has ascended to a selected value. This prevents trip coil or resistor burn-up during main- tenance if power is applied and there is insufficient air to operate the mecha~ nisms. ADJUSTING GAS DIFFERENTIAL - SQUARE "D" TYPE (Fig. 26) 1, The term “differential” for this device ‘refers to the difference between the pressure at the top.bellows and the pressure at the bottom bellows. 2. The term “sensitivity" for this device refers to the pressure drop be~ tween the trip point and the reset point of each Micro Switch. Adjustment’ : 1, Use a 0.050 socket screw key (Allen wrench) for adjusting the set screws "AY which operate the Micro Switches. 2. All adjusting should be done slowly and in fractions of turns. 3. Do not distort the copper finger when adjusting the set screw. 4, Do not turn the Number 2 Micro Switch set screw in so far as to exceed ‘the overtravel of the Nunber 2 Micro Switch. This condition will be indicated by a noticeable deflection of the Number 2 Micro Switch cop- per finger when the Nunber 3 Micro Switch trips. This deflection will cause a sharp rise in the Number 3 Micro Switch trip point. n0) Fig.. 26 (020341483 Rev. GEk-39797 1. Top Bellows 2. Switch-Cireuit 4,5,6 + Switch-Circuit 152,3 3 4.

The compressor will keep the breaker air system charged to a pressure range of 256 psig to 263 psig. The compressor is fully automatic and will deliver air to the breaker over an ambient range of -40°C to +52°C with a minimum of mainte- nance. The air delivered is fully saturated with moisture. The excess, which has been removed during the compression stage, drains into the air receiver. The air receivers should be drained once per month when the weather is warm and the humidity is high. During the winter the drain interval can be extended to three months. When temperatures are below freezirig the condensate will freeze in the tanks and cannot be drained. When temperatures are below 5°C (40°F) do not attempt to drain condensate. The chilling effect of expanding air may cause ice ‘in the valve and it may not reseal tightly. The small valve (5), Fig. 31, can be used as an emergency drain when the air receiver drain valve is frozen. An emergency air hose from another breaker can also be attached.to this valve. When the compressor will be serviced while the breaker is using an emergency air supply the tube from the compressor to the:check valve (6) should be re- moved and the fitting at the check valve plugged. Remove air from the air re- ceiver before doing this work. The drain valve on the air receivers, should never be used to attach an emergency air supply hose. The moist air from the compressor is delivered to the air receiver thru a , heated and insulated air line that will prevent freezing in the airline to -40°C. See Fig. 32. The moisture will freeze on the tank walls after entering the tank. ‘The electromagnetic valve on each mechanism will have a 160 watt heater with thermostatic control’ to prevent any possible freezing within the critical valve area. PRESSURE DROP AND CONSUMPTION When the breaker “is operated from a nominal rated pressure of 256 psig with the supply air shut off, the initial pressure drop will be from 7 to 10 psig. If the air system is aliowed to stablize for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes with no additional air supplied, the breaker pressure will increase by one to two psig.due to thermal changes in the air system, ‘The préssure switches are factory set with the initial pressure drop (especial- ly the close and trip lockout) to prevent lockout when there is actually suffi- cient air in the air receivers. 79GEK-39797 cea Oo © A He 1 6 ie HEATED Bock: aun MPR, HEATED AIR LINE INSULATED 1 /eoatat eudedBuRe™ : | paURAIN VALVE Hs t DO NOT-CONNECT ain receiver 256 sic || guengeneuaia 63CT1_close-trip No. 1 low pressure cut-off - 228 psig descending pressure 63AL low pressure air alarm open or closed - 236 psig descending pressure. 63CT2 close-trip No. 2 low pressure cut-off - 228 psig descending pressure, {optional circuit). 63G compressor governor low pressure start - 256 psig descending pressure.

The instantaneous (10 second) value is known as pressure drop. Pressure Drop - 7 to 10 psi Consumption - 5 to 9 psi A master test gage should be used to determine these pressure values. The master gage can be attached to valve (2), Fig. 34, in the Pole One control en- closure. Drain condensate from the air receivers before operating .for consump- tion or pressure drop. Stabilize the pressure at 256 psig for a minimum of two minutes. Operate the breaker 0C0-15 second-CO. This operating cycle should be completed before the low pressure lock-out pressure switch (2), Fig. 35, isolates the control circuits. When this cycle cannot be obtained’ the difference in pressure be- tween 636, compressor governor, closing and 63CT1 opening will have to be increased, but do not exceed tolerance allowed for any switch. Control Conponents Pressure switches in the air system are for alarm and close and trip lock- out. The close or trip lockout usually prevents a trip operation below 228 psig and will not permit the breaker to close until air receiver pressure increases above 233 psig. The low pressure alarm is set at 236 and will not turn off until air receiver pressure increases above 241 psig. Note: This-alarn may sound after two breaker operations. For pressure switch settings refer to the drawing titled "Devices and Ratings", (page one of. wiring diagram) or pressure switch settings furnished as part of instruction book package. Each switch is identified with other components in the air system. NOTE: The settings of the components are important and should not normally be adjusted. Factors affecting the differential and setting include the following: 1. Accuracy of gage used for setting 2, Ability of man to set accurately 3. Repeatability - normal operating distribution 4, Thermal effects 5. Aging - fatigue fron exercising 6. Corrosion 7. Abuse or vibration 81GEK-39797 NOTES 82Fig. 32 (027545754 Rev. 0) lL. 2. 3, Enclosure Floor 13. 4. Clamp 14. 5. Lower Heat Transfer Bar 15. 6.

GeK-39797 EMERGENCY RELIEF VALVE (Fig. 36) The SFp gas system has a small safety valve on each pole, set at 110 psig as protection during normal refilling periods. An emergency relief valve, with large flow capacity, is included in the back access cover. This valve is set at 130 psig and will open only due to a rapid rise in pressure the primary device may not be able to relieve. The pressure will compress spring (5), Fig. 36, due to force on lift plate (8). At the set value the lift will be sufficient to blow "0" ring (1) from its groove and provide rapid pressure relief. The valve will not reset. It must be disassembled and a new "0" ring installed and then the nut (2) replaced to its original position. MANUAL OPERATION A manual operating device is furnished to open.and close the mechanism for maintenance. This device is shown installed by Figs: 12 and 37. The manual device should never be installed unless the’ trip blocking too! (8) is in place. See Fig. 12. See SAFETY section, Item 10, at the front of this book. The breaker should be in the closed position to install or remove this device with all air and control power removed from the system. Manual Trip Device This device (6), Fig. 12, should not be Used to trip the breaker unless safety section, Item 11, is satisfied. HEATERS, Heaters are furnished as condensate type, on 100 percent of time, and ther- mostatically controlled to spot heat devices to provide operations to -40°F. Heater power should never be turned off except during maintenance work. Satisfactory breaker operations are dependent upon these heaters in hot weather as well as cold Condensate Heaters - no thermostat. There is one 160 watt heater on the floor in the electrical side of the control enclosure to minimize condensation on devices in very humid weather. The condensate heater for the mechanism side is located under the compressor. This heater not only minimizes condensation in the general area, but prevents water accumulation in the compressor crankcase ‘oil.

Alarm Circuits *Diodes are used in parallel with 63CTX-1 and 63CTX-2 cofls to suppress voltage surges and prevent arcing of Micro Switch contacts in pressure switch 63CT-1 and 63CT-25 order as 0132A1199°020. Diode is installed with polarity reversed to normal current flow when voltage is applied to operate the device. No current will flow. When voltage is removed the polarity of the coil will reverse and the diode will prevent overvoltage. During installation power must be attached keeping polarity matched to wiring diagram or these diodes will be destroyed at the first power application. When fuse in Trip #1 and Trip #2 is blown at power application to 63CT=1 and 63CT-2 the end cover must be removed and these diodes checked. Circuits to 63CT-1 and 63CT-2 will not be closed until air pressure has been above 233 psig. Diodes are located on "N" terminal board in the relay compartment. A diode is also used across auxiliary switch point 1T to 2T as part of the “Anti-pump" circuit. When it is installed with reverse polarity it will burn out due to current of closing coil.
