3AH5 Vacuum Circuit-Breakers Description
Construction and mode of operation

The 3AH5 vacuum circuit-breaker consists of the pole as-


semblies (1) and the operating mechanism box (2). The pole
assemblies are fixed to the operating mechanism box via 3 6
post insulators (3). The switching movement is transferred
by means of operating rods (4) and levers. 1

Pole assemblies
The pole assemblies consist of the vacuum interrupters (5)

tions. The vacuum interrupter is rigidly fixed to the upper
interrupter support (6). The lower part of the interrupter is
guided in the lower interrupter support (7), allowing axial Circuit-breaker structure
movement. The braces (8) absorb the external forces result-
ing from switching operations and the contact pressure. 1 Pole assembly 5 Vacuum interrupter
2 Operating mechanism box 6 Upper interrupter support

4 Operating rod 8 Brace
The whole operating mechanism with releases, auxiliary
switches, indicators and actuating devices is accommodated
in the operating mechanism box.
The extent of the secondary equipment depends on the
case of application and offers a multiple variety of options
in order to meet almost every requirement.

Operating mechanism
For circuit-breaker operation, both spring-operated and
stored-energy mechanisms are available. With manual
spring-operated mechanisms, the closing process takes place
automatically after manual charging of the closing spring.
The opening or contact springs are charged simultaneously
R-HG11-186.tif

during the closing operation, which means that a stored-


energy mechanism is available for the opening operation.
With motor or manual operating stored-energy mechanisms, Front view
the closing spring is either charged electrically or manually.
It latches tight at the end of the charging process and serves
as an energy store.
To close the breaker, the closing spring can be unlatched
either mechanically by means of the local “ON” pushbutton
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.

Trip-free mechanism
R-HG11-187.tif

3AH5 vacuum circuit-breakers have a trip-free mechanism ac-


cording to IEC 62271-100. In the event of an opening com-
mand being given after a closing operation has been initiated,
Open operating mechanism box
the moving contacts return to the open position and remain
there even if the closing command is sustained. This means
that the contacts of the vacuum circuit-breakers are momen-
tarily in the closed position, which is permissible according to
IEC 62271-100.

As spare parts, the vacuum interrupters are always supplied


as a complete pole including post insulator.
To select the correct spare interrupter, please specify
the type designation, serial number, design code and
year of manufacture of the circuit-breaker. All data is
given on the rating plate. Vacuum interrupters and
other spare parts must only be replaced by instructed
personnel.

Data on the rating plate


Note:
For any query regarding spare parts,
subsequent deliveries, etc. the following
four details are necessary:
– Type designation
– Serial No.
– Design code
– Year of manufacture
