b 3 poles integrated in a “sealed pressure system” type insulating enclosure.

The sealed assembly is filled with SF6 gas at low relative pressure
(0.15 Mpa/1.5 bars) and equipped with a pressure switch
b an RI stored energy electrical operating mechanism.
This gives the device an opening and closing speed that is independent
of the operator, for both electrical and manual orders. It enables reclosing cycles
to be carried out
b a front panel housing the manual operating mechanism and status indicators
b upstream and downstream terminals for the power circuit connection
b a terminal block for connection of external auxiliary circuits.
Each device can also be fitted with the following options:
b a supporting frame equipped with rollers and ground fixing brackets for fixed
LF1 - LF2 - LF3 circuit breakers installation
b circuit breaker locking in the open position by a keylock installed on the front plate
of the operating mechanism
b a 42-pin Harting type LV connector.
PE55763
Applications
LF circuit breakers are three-pole indoor MV circuit breakers.
They are mainly used for operation and protection of public, industrial and tertiary
distribution networks from 7.2 to 17.5 kV.
Through their anti-seismic qualification, they are particularly well suited to nuclear
or thermal power production installations and applications in heavy industries
such as the petrochemical industry.
Through their compact dimensions and harmonized range, LF circuit breakers
are positioned very favorably on the retrofit market.
With self expansion, the breaking technique used in these circuit breakers,
all current types, capacitive and inductive, can be made or broken without
generating overvoltage which could damage your installation.
The LF circuit breaker is therefore ideally suited to operating capacitor banks.

General (cont.)
Breaking principle: self expansion

LF circuit breakers use the SF6 gas self expansion technique.
This technique is the result of many years’ experience in SF6 technology and major
research work.
It combines the effect of thermal expansion with a rotating arc to create arc blowing
and quenching conditions.
The result is reduced control energy requirements and arcing contact erosion;
this increases mechanical and electrical endurance.
The operating sequence of a self-expansion breaking chamber, whose moving part
is driven by the mechanical operating mechanism, is as follows:
b the circuit breaker is closed
DE51242
b on opening of the main contacts (a) the current

DE51243
is shunted into the breaking circuit (b)
b on separation of the arcing contacts, an electrical arc

DE51244
appears in the expansion volume (c). The arc rotates

under the effect of the magnetic field created by the coil
(d) through which flows the current to be broken:
the overpressure created by the temperature build-up
of the gas in the expansion volume (c ) causes a gaseous
flow blowing the arc inside the tubular arcing contact (e),
resulting in arc quenching when the current passes
through the zero point
b the circuit breaker is open.

Applications
SF circuit breakers are 3-pole MV circuit breakers for indoor installation. They are
mainly used for switching and protection of networks from 17.5 to 40.5 kV in primary
and secondary power distribution.
Because the SFset protection chain is autonomous in terms of power, this circuit
breaker is particularly suited to certain dispersed installations on the network.
The autocompression breaking technique used in these circuit breakers means that
making or breaking all types of compacitive or inductive currents can be achieved
without dangerous overvoltages for the switchgear connected to the network.
The SF6 circuit breaker is therefore well suited to operating capacitor banks.

General (cont.)
Breaking technique: autocompression

SF circuit breakers use the SF6 autocompression technique.
This technique involves cooling and extinguishing the electrical arc when the current
passes through the zero point by blowing gas compressed by a piston connected to
a moving contact. The gas is guided through an insulating nozzle towards tubular
arcing contacts which are used to evacuate the gases.
This breaking technique is used for high performance (40.5 kV – 31.5 kA) in which
we have 35 years’ experience.
The operating sequence in the autocompression breaking chamber, whose mobile
part is displaced by the mechanical operating mechanism, is as follows:
b the circuit breaker is closed
DE51238
b following an opening order, the main contacts begin

DE51239
to open (a) and the current is shunted into the breaking

circuit (b)
b when the contact separate, an electrical arc forms

DE51240
which is extinguished when the current passes

through the zero point by the blowing resulting from
compression of the gas in the piston (c) which is guided
by the isolating nozzle (d)
b the circuit breaker is open

Increased endurance
61051N
The mechanical and electrical endurance of Merlin Gerin SF6 breaking devices
are in conformity with the most demanding specifications recommended by the IEC.
These devices therefore meet requirements for even the most exposed of networks.
Less maintenance
Throughout the device’s service life, which in normal operating conditions may be
at least 30 years, the only maintenance required is on the mechanical operating
mechanism, once every 10 years or every 10,000 operations.
Although no maintenance is performed on poles, a diagnosis is possible:
b contact wear can be checked by external pole measurement
b SF6 pressure can be continually monitored by a pressure switch.
Environmentally-friendly
Merlin Gerin devices have been designed to ensure protection of the environment:
b the materials used, both insulating and conductive, are identified and easy
to separate and recycle,
b the SF6 gas is under control from production through to the circuit breaker’s end
of life. In particular it can be recovered at the end of the circuit breaker’s life and
re-used after treatment in line with the new European directive,
b an end of life manual for the product details procedures for dismantling and
recycling components.
Quality Assurance
During production, each circuit breaker undergoes systematic routine tests
in order to check quality and conformity:
b pole sealing check
b checking the correct mechanical operation of the device,
plus its associated locking mechanisms
b checking simultaneous closing of contacts
b checking power frequency insulation level
b checking main circuit resistance
b checking auxiliary circuit insulation
b checking auxiliary circuit electrical resistance
b checking switching speeds
b checking the switching cycle
b measuring the switching times.
The results are recorded on the test certificate for each device
which is initialed by the quality control department.

b a shunt closing release (YF) combined with an anti-pumping device
b an operation counter.
Electrical motor with gearing

The electrical motor arms and re-arms the stored energy unit as soon as the circuit
breaker is closed. This allows the instant closing of the device after opening.
The arming lever is only used as a back-up operating mechanism in the case of any
auxiliary power supply.

“Open/closed” auxiliary contacts

DE55703
The number of contacts available depends on the options chosen on the operating
mechanism.
In the basic configuration, the circuit breaker’s operating mechanism comprises
a total of:
b 6 normally closed contacts (NC)
b 6 normally open contacts (NO)
b 1 changeover contact (CHG).
The usage procedure for auxiliary contacts is given in the following table:
Options
NC contact NO contact
Remote control 1 1
(7) Shunt opening release (each one) 0 1
Undervoltage release 0 0
Mitop low energy release 0 0
In order to know the final number of available contacts, you must deduct the total
number of contacts included in the circuit breaker (6 NC + 6 NO + 1 CHG),
the number of contacts used given in the table below.
E.g: a circuit breaker equipped with a remote control and a shunt trip unit has
the following available contacts:
Operating mechanism 5 NC + 4 NO + 1 CHG.
With a undervoltage release instead of the shunt trip, this circuit breaker would have
the following available contacts:
DE60124
5 NC + 5 NO + 1 CHG.
Locking the circuit breaker in the “open” position

This key-operated device allows the circuit breaker to be locked in the “open” position.
The circuit breaker is locked in the open position by blocking the opening push button
in the “engaged” position.
Locking is achieved using a Profalux or Ronis captive key type keylock.

SF circuit breakers Description of functions 0
Opening circuit
Composition
DE55701EN
The opening circuit can be produced using the following components:

b shunt opening release (on energizing) (YO1)
b second shunt opening release (on energizing) (YO2)
b undervoltage release (YM)
b low energy release (Mitop).
(2) (1) or (3)
Note: see the table of possible combinations, page 44.
Shunt opening release (YO1 and YO2)

Energizing this unit causes instant opening of the circuit breaker.
Characteristics
V DC 0.7 to 1.1 Un
V DC 50 W
Operating mechanism
Undervoltage release (YM)
This release unit causes the systematic opening of the circuit breaker when
DE60094
the supply voltage drops below a value of less than 35% of the rated voltage,
even if the drop is slow and gradual. It can open the circuit breaker between 35%
and 70% of the rated voltage. If the release is not supplied power, manual or electrical
closing of the circuit breaker is impossible. Closing of the circuit breaker is compulsory
when the supply voltage to the release unit reaches 85% of its rated voltage.

Remote control
(6) (5)
Function
DE55702
Remote control enables the remote opening and closing of the circuit breaker.
Composition
The remote control comprises:
b an electric motor with gearing
b a shunt closing release (YF) associated with an anti-pumping device
b an operation counter.
Electrical motor with gearing

The electrical motor arms and re-arms the stored energy mechanism as soon as
the circuit breaker is closed. This allows instant closing of the device after opening.
The arming lever is only used as a backup control in the case of the absence
of the auxiliary power supply.
The M3 contact indicates the end of the arming operation.

The anti-pumping relay enables priority to be given to opening in the case
of a permanent closing order. This thus avoids the device being locked in
an uncontrolled opening-closing cycle.

Indication and locking/interlocking
“Open/closed” auxiliary contacts

DE55703
The number of contacts available depends on the options chosen on the operating
mechanism.
In its basic configuration, the circuit breaker operating mechanism comprises
a total of:
b 6 normally closed contacts (NC)
b 6 normally open contacts (NO)
b 1 changeover contact (CHG).
The usage mode for auxiliary contacts is given in the following table:
Options
NC contact NO contact
Remote control 1 1
(7) Shunt opening release (each one) 0 1
Mitop low energy release 0 0
To know the final number of available contacts, the number of contacts used
indicated in the table below must be deducted from the total number of contacts
included in the circuit breaker (6 NC + 6 NO + 1 CHG).
E.g: a circuit breaker equipped with a remote control and a shunt trip
has the following number of contacts available:
Operating mechanism 5 NC + 4 NO + 1 CHG.
With an undervoltage release instead of a shunt trip unit, this circuit breaker
has the following available contacts:
DE60124
5 NC + 5 NO + 1 CHG.
Locking of the circuit breaker in the “open” position

This keylocking device allows the circuit breaker to be locked in the “open” position.
The circuit breaker is locked in the “open” position by blocking the opening push button
in the “engaged” position.
Locking is achieved using a Profalux or Ronis captive key type keylock.

SF circuit breakers Protection, monitoring and control 0
VIP300 protection relay
The SFset circuit breaker has an integrated and independent

PE55766
protection system
The SFset circuit breaker comprises an SF1 into which is integrated a protection
system comprising:
b a set of current sensors installed on the lower current terminals of the pole units.
Two interchangeable sensors, CSa and CSb, sufficient to cover all requirements
from 10 A to 1250 A.
b mounted on the control unit.
b a “Mitop” low consumption, release unit installed on the switching device.
The unit is fully independent and functions without an auxiliary power supply.
Operating principle
The protection system is supplied power by sensors which supply:
b the “current” information”, processed by the protection unit
b the electrical power required for the whole protection system to operate;
VIP unit and Mitop release.
SFset with a VIP protection unit installed on the front panel
All settings are visible and accessible from the front of the device.
PE55772
VIP300P and VIP300LL independent protection unit

The VIP300 unit is intended to be installed on distribution networks. It can be used
to protect an MV/LV transformer, to protect the head of an industrial installation,
but also to protect a branch.
The VIP300 provides protection against phase-to-phase faults and against earthing
faults. The choice of trip curves and the large number of settings enable it to be used
in a large number of discrimination arrangements.
The VIP300 is an independent unit supplied power from the current sensors;
it does not require an auxiliary power supply. It activates a Mitop release unit.
The VIP300 exists in 2 models:
b VIP300P: phase protection
b VIP300LL: phase and earthing protection.

Phase protection (VIP300P, VIP300LL)

Phase protection has two independently adjustable thresholds:
b the lower threshold can be chosen to be either definite time or inverse definite time.
It can be executed according to the RI curve.
b the upper threshold is inverse definite time.
The definite time curves are in conformity with standard IEC 60255-3.
They are either of type inverse (SI), very inverse (VI) and extremely inverse (EI).
Earthing protection (VIP300LL)
Earthing full protection functions with the measurement of residual current:
this is carried out based on the sum of secondary currents in the sensors.
As for phase protection, earthing protection has two independently adjustable
thresholds.
Indication
Two indicators show the origin of the release (phase or earth).
They stay in position after breaking the release unit power supply.
Two LED indicator lights (phase and earth) show that the lower threshold
has been exceeded and that the time delay has been started.

Description of the device

b 3 poles integrated in a “sealed pressure system” type insulating enclosure.

LF circuit breakers for a fixed installation

Breaking principle: self expansion

b the circuit breaker is closed

b on opening of the main contacts (a) the current

is shunted into the breaking circuit (b)

b on separation of the arcing contacts, an electrical arc

appears in the expansion volume (c). The arc rotates

b the circuit breaker is open.

Electrical arc in a self-expansion breaking chamber

12,5 VIP300P - VIP300LL

VIP protection units are associated with functional current sensors.

SFset schematic diagram

Breaking technique: autocompression

b the circuit breaker is closed

b following an opening order, the main contacts begin

to open (a) and the current is shunted into the breaking

b when the contact separate, an electrical arc forms

which is extinguished when the current passes

b the circuit breaker is open
