COMPACT DESIGN FOR

PERFECT SWITCHING

Engineering
One of the most etTective ways of lnterrupting an arc circuit is to do so by means
of contacts in vacuum (the vacuum interrupter). During breaking a. c. circujts, the
metal vapors condense very rapidly as the current falls to zero, giving a very
predictable performance and fast rise of dielectric strength between opening
contacts. Several individual designs of vacuum interrupters have emerged having
a logical basic concept i.e. a sealed cylindrical enclosure of insulation and metal
containing contacts, shields and bellows. As no single metal has all characteristics
required for contact material, mixtures have evoived ranging from alloys ancl
bulk interspersions e.g. copper-brsmuth, to a sintered matrix consisting of semi
refractory porous base infiltrated with a softer material e.g. Chromiurn and
Copper. Copper-chromium contacts have lower current chopping levels with
better voltage withstand when compared to copper-bismuth contacts. Energypac
predominantly, uses vacuum interrupters having Copper-chromium contacts.

vacuum interrupters being a sealed-for life devrce with nil maintenance, great
importance is laid on ensuring that the switchgear requires minimum mainte-
nance. Because of the short stroke and inherent vacuum force characteristics of
the vacuum interrupters, particular attention has been paid to obtain the optimum level of kinetic energy for achieving the right
acceleration at contact separation and also to overcome the tendency for welding which may o"ccur between the contact. When
contacts are closed, there is a pronounced tendency to bounce with undesirable extension of pre-arcing and increased
erosion.
The mechanism and structure of EHHV-l2 vacuum circuit breakers have been coordinated to eliminate bounce
by rigidity of drive
and flexibility of mounting.

lnstrument chamber
Relays, indicating instruments and measuring instruments are
mounted on a separate chamber. This is a LT chamber and is
fully segregated from the other chambers. The relays and
meters are mounted on a hinged door and are located at
comfortable height for ease of viewing and maintenance. There
is a provrsion to increase the height depending on the number
of instruments/ relays to be fitted as needed by the customer.

Earth switch
Where required, earth switches can be provided as an integral
part of the equipment. The earth switches are independent in
operation to the main closing mechanism, and are interlocked
to prevent use when the VCB is connected into its service
position. This prevents the vacuum circuit breaker being faced
in a circuit that has been earthed. Operator lndicators are
provided to warn if the earth switch is in the ON or OFF
position, with the additional security that the design has been
tested against a full fault make of3 seconds. Busbar earthing
trucks are provided when required.

Special application
ln addition to regular distribution function EHHV-i 2 is ideally
suitable for capacitor switching application and auto reclosing
duty.
