Operation

HiAN series Air Circuit Breakers are available either in manual charging type or in motor charging type.

Fig. 1 Description of Various Parts

3.1 Manual Charging Type


In the manual charging type, charging the closing springs and open-close control of the breaker
are all done manually. The breaker is able to close only when the closing springs are charged.
Do not force down the charging handle after completion of charging.
Doing so may cause a malfunction.

1) Spring Charging Operation


Follow the procedure given below to charge the closing springs.
Pump the charging handle (about 4~5 cycles)(Fig. 2)
When the closing springs are fully charged, a metallic click will be heard and no further pumping of the charging handle
will be possible. When the charging handle is pumped with its maximum stroke (approx. 105), about four pumping cycles
will complete the charging. Check that the spring charged indicator (Fig. 3

) now shows CHARGED.

2) Closing Operation
Before closing the breaker, check the following items:
Closing springs should be charged.
The shutter of the draw-out handle insertion hole (Fig. 3

) should be completely closed.

Specified voltage should be applied to the undervoltage trip device (option).


See the description of the undervoltage trip device for the procedure in detail.
Upon satisfactory confirmation of the above items, press the PUSH TO CLOSE button (Fig. 3

breaker body back into the cradle, which facilitates the inspection and parts replacement.

Means for remote electrical close-open control of the breaker are also fitted.

The draw-out mechanism permits one to move the breaker body to any of the following three positions in the draw-out cradle.

Complete manual operations are also possible for the same procedures described in above Manual Charging Type section.

The switchboard panel door can be shut with the breaker body drawn out to the TEST or ISOLATED position.
The auxiliary switch assembly mounted on the body works in the CONN, TEST and ISOLATED positions.

1) Spring Charging Operation


OPERATIONAL PRECAUTIONS

Supply the specified control power voltage to the charging motor circuit.
In case of AC MOTOR, check whether the UVT is applied to specified voltage.
As soon as the closing springs are discharged, the charging motor is turned on to charge the closing springs.
The charging motor is automatically stopped when the closing springs are fully charged, and the spring charged indicator
(Fig. 3

) shows CHARGED.

While the charging time varies depending on the rated control voltage and the type of breaker, it is normally within a range
of 3 to 10 seconds.

The permissible control voltage range for the charging motor is 85 to 110% of the rated voltage.
It is strongly recommended to supply the control power at the rated voltage.
When dielectric withstand voltage test is carried out, the dielectric withstand voltage of motor
for DC, AC110 and 220 V is 1500 V but motor for DC24 and 48 V is 500 V.

Open the breaker before working with the draw-out mechanism.


Be sure to loosen the screws of the fixing blocks (Fig. 1 )before drawing out the breaker body.
if provided otherwise, a malfunction may occur.
When you try to move the breaker body to the CONN position, the operating force will increase.
Further rotate the draw-out handle to move the breaker body to the CONN position. Typical operating force is about 25 kgf.
When the breaker is in connect position, stop turning the draw-out handle.
Otherwise, a malfunction may occur.
Make sure the shutter (Fig. 1 ) is closed after the draw-out handle is removed.
Only at the exact position (ISOLATED, TEST, CONN) the shutter (Fig. 1 ) can be closed.

CONN POSITION

In this position, the main circuit and the control circuits (of the breaker) are connected to the external
circuits for normal service.

TEST POSITION

In this position, the main circuit is isolated, and the control circuits are connected.
This position permits close-open test, control circuit function test, etc.

ISOLATED POSITION

In this position, the main circuit and the control circuits are isolated.
The breaker is completely de-energized in this position.

2) Closing Operation
Before closing the breaker, check the following items:
Closing springs are charged.
The shutter of the draw-out handle insertion hole (Fig. 3

) is completely closed.

Specified voltage is applied to the undervoltage trip device (option).


Upon satisfactory confirmation of the above items, press the CLOSE button.
This energizes the latch release coil, which, in turn, releases the charged closing springs and the breaker is immediately closed.
The spring charged indicator shows DISCHARGED.
With the closing springs discharged the charging motor is immediately turned to charge the closing springs.

CONN POSITION

TEST POSITION

ISOLATED POSITION

Even when item 2) is not satisfied, the breaker will not be placed in a closed state.
Be sure to perform closing operation according item 2).

3) Opening Operation
The shunt trip device (SHT) or undervoltage trip device (UVT) is used for remote electrical opening operation.
Press the OPEN button. This opens the breaker via the SHT or UVT.
When close-open operations are repeated with the charging motor ON, limit the number of successive
close-open cycles to 10 times. If the open-close cycle is repeated more than 10 times, allow a cooling
period of at least 10 minutes between the 10th cycle and the 11th cycle.

).

When you try to move the breaker body to the CONN position, the draw-out handle operating force
will increase. This is because the primary circuit contacts in the breaker begin to close and
the insertion friction increases; an increase in handle operating force does not show the CONN
position has been reached, is not a failure sign. Further rotate the draw-out handle 2 or 2.5
turns to move the breaker body to the CONN position.
Rely on a change of position indicator in order to check if the intended breaker position is reached.
When the handle is locked and impossible to be turned anyway, the breaker has reached the
intended position. Do not force-turn the draw-out handle while it is locked.
Doing so may cause a malfunction.

When the fixing blocks (Fig. 1

1600 A or smaller

) are fitted, fully tighten the right and left fixing screws using the draw-out handle.

When the breaker is sent into the CONN position, remove the draw handle and close the shutter of
insertion hole after confirming the position indication CONN.

Failing to firmly tighten these screws may cause a breaker malfunction, particularly
when the breaker is installed in such an area that is subject to strong vibration.

Frequency of Periodic Inspection


While it is most appropriate that the user works out his or her own inspection plan for the breakers according to the
switching frequency, the values of normal making and breaking currents, the magnitude of fault current interrupted,
service conditions and environmental conditions, it is recommended to perform a simplified inspection
once every 6 months and a full inspection once a year.

6.4 Method of Changing Protective Function Settings


The settings of Type APR multifunction protective device can be changed easily by dial operation.
This section describes the basic procedures for setting the protective device.
For setting details of individual protective functions see Section 2.
1) Basic Procedures
Press the side center of the transparent front cover to the left or right to release the latch, and remove the cover
from the breaker front cover.

2) The Setting of SLIDE Switch


Frequency setting (50 Hz / 60 Hz)
The frequency can change between 50 Hz and 60 Hz depending on power system.
In case of APR set at 60 Hz in 50 Hz system, the tolerance of APR increases

20% more than the exact setting.

Tripping Time Characteristics (I2 t ON OFF)


The STD trip timing can be changed between ramp (I2t=C; inverse-time) mode and definite-time mode.
When delivered, the breaker has been set to the definite-time mode.
To change the trip timing to the ramp mode, set the I2t-switch on the APR to ON position.

Fig. 22

When a fault current exceeds 8 times (in case of the APR 8 times) the base current [IO],
the ramp (I2t=C) mode will be changed to the definite-time mode.
Time setting tolerance of ramp characteristic: (T2 30%)

Tripping Mode (INST / MCR)


Changeover of INST to MCR or vice versa is allowed at the APR type which requires control power.
When delivered, INST trip timing are set to a mode specified on the order from.
Using the INST/MCR mode select switch enables the tripping mode to be changed between INST and MCR.
When changing the tripping mode to MCR, be sure to observe the following condition:
Estimated short-circuit fault current
Rated breaking capacity of the breaker (without INST)
MCR is a protective function which instantaneously trips open the breaker only when a fault current
exceeding I3 is applied at making operation of the breaker.
After making operation, MCR locks the INST trip function.
Using a small flat-head screwdriver, adjust the setting switches as appropriate.

MCR is an option:

The APR has two types of setting switches: rotary step switches and slide switches.

1) Temperature Test

INST

PICK-UP CURRENT

Close the breaker.

If a single-phase test current equal to the rated current is applied to a breaker

If the breaker is not tripped by applying the test current of -20% secondary current levels
converted from the set value [I3] current and tripped by applying the test current of +20%
secondary current levels, it is normal.

with its three poles connected in series for temperature test, the breaker will be tripped.
All function (LTD, STD, INST, GFT) of APR set NON for a single phase test.
2) Overcurrent trip test

Close the breaker.

PICK-UP CURRENT

Increase the test current up to the position in which the LTD pick-up indication LTD light
(Fig. 21 ) flickers: if the current value at that time is within the range of 7.5% (APR-1L)
and 5% (APR-1S) of secondary current levels converted from the set value [TP] current,
it is normal.

When a trip test is performed on a breaker with a test current supplied to its main circuit,
in the same manner as in the temperature test, do this for each pole so that 2 out of the three poles
are not in the same direction (not allowed when ground fault trip is provided) or with 2 poles.

Reduce the test current output to zero.


PRE-TRIP
ALARM

Supply the specified control power.

TRIP TIME

Apply the test current of 1.1 times (APR-1L) and 1.2 times of (APR-1S) of
secondary current levels converted from the set value [Ip] current. At the same time,
start the time measurement with a watch.
- If the time at which an alarm signal is outputted across terminals Ac and
Ap is within the range of 20% (APR-1L) and 15% (APR-1S) of
the set value [Tp] second, it is normal.
- Reduce the test current output to zero.

Close the breaker.

TRIP CURRENT

Apply the test current within the range of 20% of secondary current levels converted
from the set value [IG] current: if the breaker is tripped, it is normal.
Reduce the test current output to zero.

Close the breaker.


Set the test equipment output to approx. 4 times the secondary current levels converted
from the set value current.

GFT

Apply the test current.


At the same time, start the trip time measurement with a watch.
