Description
7 Components
7.1 Three-position switch-disconnector
Features • The three-position switch-disconnector is designed for a rated voltage of 36 kV

• Switching functions as general-purpose switch-disconnector (class E3) according to
IEC 62271-103, IEC 62271-102 / VDE 0671-102 and IEC 62271-105 / VDE 0671-105
• Designed as a three-position switch incorporating the functions of a switch-disconnector
and a make-proof earthing switch with the switch positions CLOSED - OPEN - EARTHED
Fig. 5: Operation of three-position switch
Mode of operation The operating shaft forms one unit together with the three contact blades. Due to the
arrangement of the fixed contacts (earth - busbar), it is not necessary to interlock the CLOSE
and EARTHING functions.
Closing operation During the closing operation, the operating shaft with the moving contact blades changes
from the OPEN to the CLOSED position.
The spring force of the spring-operated / spring-operated/stored-energy mechanism ensures a
high closing speed and a reliable connection of the main circuit.
Opening operation During the opening operation, the arc is caused to rotate by the arc-suppression system, thus
preventing the development of a fixed root. This very effective arc extinction provides short
arcing times. The isolating distance in gas established after opening fulfils the conditions for
isolating distances according to IEC/EN 62271-102 / VDE 0671-102, IEC/EN 62271-103 /
VDE 0671-103 and IEC/EN 62271-1 / VDE 0671-1.
Earthing operation The EARTHING operation is implemented by the turning movement of the operating lever
(rotation, if required) from the OPEN to the EARTHED position.

Description
Operating mechanisms for the three-position switch
Common features • Mechanical endurance of more than 1000 operating cycles

• Manual operation with the help of a slip-on operating lever
• Option: Motor operation of the disconnecting function
• Control board with accordingly cut-out switching gate prevents the three-position switch-
disconnector from being switched directly from the CLOSED via the OPEN to the EARTHED
position
• Two separate actuating openings are provided for unambiguous selection of either the load-
break function or make-proof earthing
• Operation via rotary movement, operating direction according to IEC/EN 60 447 (VDN/VDEW
recommendation)
The switching movements are performed independently of the operating speed.

Description
Spring-operated/stored- The spring-operated/stored energy mechanism is used for three-position switch-disconnectors

energy mechanism in transformer panels (as transformer switch).
With the operating lever, the closing spring and the opening spring of the operating
mechanism are charged at the same time. After that, the three-position switch-disconnector
can be first closed and then opened with separate pushbuttons.
When a HV HRC fuse or the shunt release (f-release) trips, the already precharged opening
spring is available for the opening operation; no additional charging process is required. This
ensures that the switch-disconnector/fuse combination can switch off all types of faults
reliably even when the three-position switch-disconnector closes.
When a HV HRC fuse has tripped, the "fuse tripped" indicator shows a red transverse bar.
The three-position switch-disconnector can be earthed with the operating lever.
The switchgear is equipped with an operating lever ejection system as standard, which means
that, after charging the operating springs, the operating lever is ejected, thus preventing the
operating lever from being left inserted accidentally. On the customer's request, the operating
lever ejection system can be omitted.

Operating voltages for motor operating mechanisms and tripping coils

• 24, 48, 60, 110, 220 V DC
• 110 and 230 V AC 50/60 Hz
• Power consumption: 80 W for AC and DC
Fig. 8: Motor unit with auxiliary switch block
Shunt release (f-release) Stored-energy mechanisms can optionally be equipped with a magnetic tripping coil (f-
for OPEN (optional) release, -Y3). Remote electrical tripping of the three-position switch-disconnector, e.g. from
the control room, is possible via the magnetic tripping coil, e.g. transformer overtemperature
tripping.
To avoid thermal overloading of the shunt release in the event of a continuous signal that may
be applied, the shunt release is switched off via an auxiliary switch which is mechanically
coupled with the three-position switch-disconnector.
In transformer panels, electrical continuity at the shunt release (f-release) can only be tested
when the operating lever is removed.
Auxiliary switch The operating mechanism of the three-position switch-disconnector can be optionally equipped
(optional) with an auxiliary switch for the position indication. A motor operating mechanism is equipped
with an auxiliary switch as standard.
• For switch-disconnector function: CLOSED and OPEN: 1 NO + 1 NC + 2 changeover
• For earthing switch function: CLOSED and OPEN: 1 NO + 1 NC + 2 changeover
Fig. 9: Auxiliary switch in the operating mechanism of the three-position switch-

disconnector, for example in the ring-main feeder

Description
Wiring Auxiliary switches, motor operating mechanisms or shunt releases are wired to terminal strips.
The terminal strips are feeder-related and located above the operating mechanism assembly
of the feeder concerned. Customer-side cable routing is made from the side to the terminal
strip arranged on the operating mechanism assemblies.

Description
7.3 Interlocks
Mechanical interlocking • The switching gate prevents switching straight from CLOSED to EARTHED position, or from
EARTHED to CLOSED position, as the operating lever must be re-inserted in the OPEN
position.
• The cable compartment cover (HV HRC fuse compartment cover) can only be removed if the
transformer feeder is earthed and the operating lever is removed.
The three-position switch-disconnector can only be switched from the EARTHED position to
another position if the cable compartment cover (HV HRC fuse compartment cover) is fitted.
• Interlocks between the circuit-breaker and the three-position disconnector:
- Circuit-breaker in OPEN position:
The three-position disconnector can be closed and opened. The circuit-breaker is locked out.
- Circuit-breaker in CLOSED position:
The three-position disconnector cannot be operated.
• The cable compartment covers can only be removed when the associated feeder is earthed.
• A closing lockout (option) in the ring-main feeder or the circuit-breaker feeder prevents the
three-position disconnector / three-position switch-disconnector from being switched to the
CLOSED position if the cable compartment cover is removed.
• A de-earthing lockout in the transformer panel (standard), the ring-main panel or the
circuit-breaker panel (option) prevents the three-position disconnector / three-position
switch-disconnector from being switched from EARTHED to OPEN position if the cable
compartment cover is removed.
• Closing and opening with the stored-energy mechanism and the circuit-breaker operating
mechanism is not possible if the operating lever is inserted.
• The locking device (option) of the switching gate can be padlocked in all three switch
positions. The locking device can be padlocked so that no closing or no opening or no
earthing is possible. The padlock can also be fitted in such a way that none of the three
switching operations can be performed.
Electrical interlock If the operating lever for the three-position switch is inserted, the motor operating
mechanism cannot be operated from remote or locally anymore.
7.4 Cable compartment covers

• The cable compartment covers can only be removed when the associated feeder is earthed.

7.7 Aligning and extending the switchgear
Features • Busbar extension possible on all individual panels and panel blocks (option)
• Plug-in unit consisting of contact coupling and screened silicone coupling
• Insensitive to pollution and condensation
• Switchgear installation, extension or panel replacement is possible without gas work
Design Every switchgear block and every individual panel are optionally available with busbar
extension on the right, on the left, or on both sides. This offers a high flexibility for the
creation of switchgear configurations whose functional units are lined up in any order. Local
installation and lining up is done without gas work.
Lining up takes place as follows:
• By the busbar couplings. Tolerances between adjacent panels are compensated by spherical
fixed contacts and the movable contact couplings with degrees of freedom in all axis
directions.
• By safe dielectric sealing with screened silicone couplings that are externally earthed and
adjustable to tolerances. The silicone couplings are pressed on with a defined pressure
when the panels are interconnected.
• On free busbar ends, screened dummy plugs are inserted, each of which is pressed on
through a metal cover. A common protective cover with a warning is fixed over all 3 covers.
• By guiding tension bolts for easier switchgear installation and fixing of adjacent panels.
• By bolted panel joints with defined stops for the distances between adjacent panels and the
associated pressure of contact pieces and silicone couplings.
Switchgear installation, extension or replacement of one or more functional units requires a

lateral wall distance ≥ 200 mm.

7.11 Ready-for-service indicator

The switching-device vessels are filled with insulating gas at an overpressure. The ready-for-
service indicator for gas-insulated switching-device vessels located at the operating front of
the switchgear panel shows through the green/red indication whether the gas density is in
order.
Fig. 28: Ready-for-service indicator
Features • Self-monitoring, easy to read

• Independent of temperature and external pressure variations
• Independent of the site altitude
• Only responds to changes in gas density
• Option: Alarm switch "1NO + 1NC" for remote electrical indication
Mode of operation
① Switching-device vessel
(filled with SF6 gas)
② Measurement box
③ Magnetic coupling
④ Red indication:
not ready for service / do not switch
⑤ Green indication: ready for service
Fig. 29: Principle of gas monitoring with

ready-for-service indicator
For the ready-for-service indicator, a gas-tight measurement box is installed inside the
switching-device vessel.

Description
A coupling magnet, which is fitted to the bottom end of the measurement box, transmits its
position to an armature outside the switching-device vessel through the non-magnetizable
switching-device vessel (magnetic coupling). This armature moves the ready-for-service
indicator at the operating front of the panel.
While changes in the gas density during the loss of gas, which are decisive for the dielectric
strength, are displayed, changes in the relative gas pressure resulting from temperature and
external pressure variations are not. The gas in the measurement box has the same
temperature as that in the switching-device vessel.
The temperature effect is compensated via the same pressure change in both gas volumes.
• The switchgear operates perfectly in a range between the rated filling level of 150 kPA and
the minimum functional level of 130 kPA.
• If the gas pressure falls below 130 kPA, the switchgear must not be operated anymore.
The ready-for-service indicator changes from the green area to the red area ("Not ready for
service").
• When the ready-for-service indicator changes from the green to the red area or vice versa,
the signaling switch is tripped.

Description
Closing solenoid The closing solenoid closes the circuit-breaker. After completion of a closing operation, the
(Y9) closing solenoid is de-energized internally. It is available for AC or DC voltage.
Power consumption: 140 W or 140 VA.
Releases Depending on the operating mechanism used, up to 3 releases can be used.
Shunt release (Y1) Shunt releases are used for tripping circuit-breakers. They are designed for connection to
external voltage (DC or AC voltage). They can also be connected to a voltage transformer by
means of a protection relay.
With the shunt release (Y1), the circuit-breaker is opened electrically. ´
Additional release In the case of additional releases, the electrical opening command is transmitted to the
(Y2, Y4, Y6, Y7) opening latch via a directly acting magnet armature by unlatching an energy store and thus,
the circuit-breaker is opened.
Shunt release With the shunt release (Y2), the circuit-breaker is opened electrically.
(Y2) Power consumption: 70 W or 50 VA.
Undervoltage release The undervoltage release is energized as long as the circuit-breaker is in closed position. If the
(Y7) voltage at the circuit-breaker falls below a predetermined value, the undervoltage release
trips the circuit-breaker. The tripping of the undervoltage release takes place via a NC contact
in the tripping circuit or by short-circuiting the magnet coil via a NO contact. With this type of
tripping, the short-circuit current is limited by the built-in resistors.
C.t.-operated release The following c.t.-operated releases are available:

(Y6, Y4) • The c.t.-operated release 3AX1102 (Y4) trips the circuit-breaker when the tripping current is
exceeded (90 % of the rated tripping current). The rated tripping current is 0.5 A/1 A.
• The c.t.-operated release 3AX1104 (Y6) (low-energy release) is adequate for a tripping
pulse of ≤ 0.1 Ws in connection with adequate protection systems. The c.t.-operated
release can be operated without auxiliary voltage. Tripping is done through a protection
relay.
Varistor module Integrated in the releases.
Circuit-breaker tripping When the circuit-breaker is tripped by a release (e.g. by protection tripping) there is a signal
signal through the NO contact -S6. If the circuit-breaker is tripped deliberately with the mechanical
pushbutton, this signal is suppressed by the NC contact -S7.

cable shield earthing M10 30 Nm*
* The tightening torque at the cable lug joint depends on:

• Material of cable lug
• Instructions of sealing end manufacturer
• Instructions of cable manufacturer
8.9 Gas leakage rate
Gas leakage rate The gas leakage rate is < 0.1% per year (referred to the absolute gas pressure).
8.10 Dielectric strength and site altitude
Dielectric strength • The dielectric strength is verified by testing the switchgear with rated values of short-
duration power-frequency withstand voltage and lightning impulse withstand voltage
according to IEC 62271-1 / VDE 0671-1.
• The rated values are referred to sea level and to normal atmospheric conditions
(101.3 hPa, 20 °C, 11g/m3 humidity according to IEC 60071 and VDE 0111).
• The dielectric strength decreases with increasing altitude. For site altitudes above 1000 m
(above sea level) the standards do not provide any guidelines for the insulation rating, but
leave this to the scope of special agreements.
All parts housed inside the switchgear vessel which are subjected to high voltage are
SF6-insulated against the earthed enclosure.
Site altitude The gas insulation in the switching-device vessel at a relative gas pressure of 50 kPa permits
switchgear installation at an altitude of up to 2000 m (above sea level) without the dielectric
strength being adversely affected. This also applies to the cable connection when using
screened cable T-plugs or cable elbow plugs.
In panels with HV HRC fuses and in metering panels, a decrease (reduction) of the dielectric
strength must be considered for site altitudes as of 1000 m (above sea level).

Description
8.11 Selection of HV HRC fuse-links
Note to HV HRC fuse-links According to IEC 60282-1 (2009) Clause 6.6, the breaking capacity of HV HRC fuses is tested
within the scope of the type test at 87% of their rated voltage.
In three-phase systems with resonance-earthed or isolated neutral, under double earth fault
and other conditions, the full phase-to-phase voltage may be available at the HV HRC fuse
during breaking. Depending on the size of the operating voltage of such a system, this applied
voltage may then exceed 87% of the rated voltage.
It must therefore already be ensured during configuration of the switching devices and
selection of the HV HRC fuse that only such fuse-links are used, which either satisfy the above
operating conditions, or whose breaking capacity was tested at least with the maximum
system voltage.
In case of doubt, a suitable HV HRC fuse must be selected together with the fuse
manufacturer.
Allocation of HV HRC fuses and transformers
The three-position switch-disconnector in the transformer feeder (transformer switch) was
combined with HV HRC fuse-links and tested in accordance with IEC 62271-105.
The following transformer protection table shows HV HRC fuse-links tested by Siemens, which
are recommended for transformer protection. Furthermore, the switchgear also permits fuse
protection of transformers up to ratings of 2000 kVA. For such applications, please contact
your regional Siemens representative.
The protection table applies to:
• Maximum ambient air temperature in the switchgear room of 40°C according to IEC 62 271-1
considering the influence of the switchgear enclosure
• Requirements according to IEC 62271-105
• Protection of distribution transformers according to IEC 60787
• Nominal power of transformer (no overload operation)
The specified SIBA HV HRC fuses are type-tested back-up fuses according to IEC 60282-1. The
dimensions correspond to DIN 43625. The HV HRC fuses have a thermal protection in form of
a temperature-limiting striker tripping operating in case of defective HV HRC fuse-links or high
overload currents.
Please contact your regional Siemens representative if you want to use HV HRC fuses from
other manufacturers.
Basis for selection of HV HRC fuse-links:
• IEC 60282-1
• IEC 62271-105
• IEC 60787
• Recommendations and data sheets of fuse manufacturers
• Permissible power loss in the switchgear enclosure at an ambient air temperature of 40° C
ATTENTION
Please use only fuses tested by Siemens, which are listed in the following fuse tables.
➭ The use of other fuse types must be checked by Siemens in advance. Please contact the
regional Siemens representative.

11.6 Preparing the foundation

• A suitable foundation can be a false floor, a double floor or a reinforced-concrete
foundation. The reinforced-concrete floor must be equipped with foundation rails for
supporting the panels.
• As for design and construction of the foundation, the relevant standards DIN 43661
“Fundamentschienen in Innenanlagen der Elektrotechnik” (Foundation rails in electrical
indoor installations) and DIN 18202 “Maßtoleranzen im Hochbau” (Blatt 3) (Measuring
tolerances in structural engineering (Sheet 3)) apply.
• The dimensions of the floor opening and the fixing points of the switchgear frame are given
in the switchgear documentation.
• Determine level differences between the installation surfaces of the panels using a
measuring sheet, and compensate with shims.
Stipulations for evenness Evenness/straightness tolerance according to DIN 43661:

and straightness
1 mm for 1 m length, 2 mm over the width of the complete switchgear.

11.7 Comments on electromagnetic compatibility

To achieve appropriate electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), some basic requirements must
be observed while erecting the switchgear. This applies especially to the installation and
connection of external cables and wires.
Basic measures for ensuring EMC are already taken during design and assembly of the
switchgear panels. Among other things, these measures include:
• The low-voltage compartment is an integral part of the panel, which means that the
protection and control devices with the internal wiring are metal-enclosed.
• Reliable earth connections of the frame parts via toothed contact washers or locking
washers.
• Inside the panel, wires are laid in metal ducts.
• Spatial separation of sensitive signal wires from wires with high interference voltage levels.
• Limitation of switching overvoltages of inductive loads (e.g. relay or contactor coils, motors)
by means of protective circuits with diode, varistor or RC element.
• Within the LV compartment, the secondary devices are mounted in defined zones.
• Shortest possible connection between corresponding modules in subracks.
• Consideration of the magnetic leakage fields of conductor bars and cables.
• Protection of subracks and wiring backplanes against interference by perforated shielding
plates.
• Large surface bonding between all modules and devices as well as bonding to the earthing
conductor of the switchgear assembly.
These measures basically enable proper operation of the switchgear itself. The planner or
operator of the switchgear must decide whether additional measures are required depending
on the electromagnetic environment where the switchgear is installed. Such measures must
be implemented by the installation company in charge.
In an environment with heavy electromagnetic interference it may be necessary to use
shielded cables and wires for the external connections in order to avoid interferences in the
low-voltage compartment and thus, undesired influences on the electronic protection and
control or other automation devices.
Cable shields must be electrically bonded to be able to carry high frequencies, and contacted
concentrically at the cable ends.
The shields of cables and wires are connected and earthed in the low-voltage compartment.
Connect the shields to earth potential - with high electrical conductivity and all around as far
as possible. Protect the contact surfaces from corrosion in case of humidity (regular
condensation).
When laying cables into the switchgear assembly, separate the control, signaling and data
cables and other lines with different signal and voltage levels by laying them on separate racks
or riser cable routes.
Corresponding to the different shield designs, there is a number of methods to perform
connection. The planning department or site management determines which of the methods
will be used, taking EMC requirements into account. The preceding points should always be
taken into account.
The shield is connected to cables or wires with clamps contacting all around. If low demands
are placed on EMC, it is also possible to connect the shield directly to earth potential (combine
or twist the shield wires) or via short cable connections. Use cable lugs or wire-end ferrules at
the connecting points.
Always keep the connecting leads of the shields as short as possible (< 10 cm).
If shields are used as protective earth conductors at the same time, the connected plastic-
insulated lead must be marked green/yellow over its entire length. Non-insulated connections
are inadmissible.
