Features
72.5kV Dry Air Insulated
Dead Tank VCB
The Dry Air Insulated Dead Tank VCB
was born of superb technology and
abundant production experience of
Japan AE Power Systems Corporation.
It is a circuit breaker employing
vacuum interrupters and dry air for
insulation. In order to use no SF6,
which is global warming gas, there is
no fear to decomposition of gas due to
current interruption. It is therefore a
highly reliable and high-performance
circuit breaker.

Contribution to global warming prevention
Dry air insulation are employed instead of SF6 gas insulation. GWP (Global Warning Potential) of
SF6 is 23,900.
Excellent breaking performance
Since each current breaking section employs a vacuum interrupter, insulation recovery
characteristics are excellent. It exhibits superb characteristics in cases of short-circuit interruption
and short line fault interruption.
Sufficient capability against multiple strokes
and evolving faults
Since the vacuum interrupters used are of completely self-arc-diffusion type, this circuit breaker is
the only unit that is capable of disposing of multiple strokes and evolving fault currents.
Reduction of maintenance labor
Use of vacuum interrupters in the current breaking sections eliminates requirements of inspection
for these sections. Therefore, man-hours can be saved for maintenance and inspection.

3 Construction
1 Overall construction
For each phase, a current breaking vacuum interrupter is
accommodated in the grounded tank. The operation
system is such that closing and tripping are effected by
spring force.
The operating mechanism and 3-phase interlinkage are
assembled on a common base, which is installed on the
frame legs.
2 Internal construction
The overall structure is composed mainly of grounded
tank, vacuum interrupters (VI), insulating rods, bushings
and main circuit terminals. Each grounded tank is filled
with dry air maintained at a rated pressure of 72.5 psig
(0.5MPa-g) (20).
Internal construction of vacuum circuit breaker
3 Dry air system
Dry air is used for insulation and sealed at the
rated pressure of 72.5 psig (0.5MPa-g). The
internal pressure is supervised with a density
monitor.
When the dry air pressure lowers to 58.0 psig
(0.4MPa-g) (20), the alarm contact of pressure
switch is actuated.

1 Withstand voltage characteristics
Performance of withstand voltage is assured at the specified dry-
air pressure. Even though the dry air pressure has been lowered
to the alarming level, the required insulation level can be assured.
In addition, even though this pressure lowers to the atmospheric
pressure, the circuit breaker withstands the rated voltage.
2 Current passing performance
Since the main contacts are located under vacuum, their surfaces
are never oxidized and current passing performance is therefore
stabilized. In the closing mode of circuit breaker, a pressing force
is exerted between main contacts by the effect of pressing spring
and sufficient tolerance is assured against closing current and
short-time current.
3 Interruption performance
4 Mechanical life
Due to adoption of simplified operating mechanism, switching
characteristics are extremely stabilized. Frequent switching
perf ormance has al so been veri f i ed t hrough cont i nuous
mechanical switching test by repeating switching operations more
than 10,000 times.
5 Electrical life
Since current breaking is performed in the vacuum interrupter,
arcing energy generated during current interruption is extremely
low and contact erosion is minimal. This implies long contact life.
Load current switching : 10,000 times
Rated breaking current switching : 20 times
Performance of the circuit breaker has been designed in accordance with ANSI and IEC standard, and
verified by type test. All products are shipped after confirmation of various performances by acceptance test
based on these standards.
Current breaking is accomplished by a vacuum interrupter with
superb insulation recovery performance. Therefore, excellent
current breaki ng perf ormance i s demonst rat ed agai nst
short-circuit current (BTF) and even against short line fault
current (SLF) and out of phase interruption. In addition, the
vacuum interrupter is of completely self-arc-diffusion type and it
will assure exact current breaking in half a cycle even in case of
multiple-stroke and evolving fault.
Performance of the vacuum circuit breaker has been verified in
accordance with ANSI and IEC. Its reliability has been confirmed
t hrough suf f i ci ent pract i cal perf ormance t est i ng such as
mechanical life test, long-term charging test, temperature test, etc.
