9 Components
9.1 Circuit-breaker
Design The Siemens vacuum circuit-breaker (VCB) 3AH55/3AH25 is a three-pole indoor circuit-breaker
for rated voltages from 7.2 kV to 24 kV.
The circuit-breaker consists of the following components:
• Operating mechanism with stored-energy spring mechanism and control elements
• Three circuit-breaker poles with vacuum interrupters
• Partition plate
• Operating rods for contact operation, mounted in the vessel front (partition plate) in a
movable way and without seals by means of welded-in metal bellows.
The operating mechanism accommodates all electrical and mechanical components required
for closing and opening the circuit-breaker. The removable cover of the operating mechanism
contains the openings for the control elements and indicators.
The circuit-breaker is closed by pressing the ON pushbutton. After closing, the motor
recharges the closing spring. If the motor supply voltage fails, the closing spring can be
charged manually.
Vacuum interrupters The vacuum interrupter is fixed at the interrupter support. The fixed contact is directly
connected to the housing. The moving contact is firmly connected to the connection bolt and
is centrally aligned in the guide. A metal bellows forms the vacuum-tight connection to the
interrupter housing.
Option • Extended auxiliary switch with 10NO + 6NC or 9NO + 6NC freely available (-S1)
• Shunt release (-Y2)
• Undervoltage release (-Y7)
• C.t.-operated release (-Y4)
• Low-energy c.t.-operated release (-Y6)

Design The Siemens high-voltage vacuum contactor 3TL72, 3TL73 and 3TL74 is a three-pole indoor
contactor for rated voltages from 7.2 kV to 24 kV. The vacuum contactor can be controlled
from remote and has an electromagnetic operating mechanism suitable for high switching
rates and unlimited operating time. The electromagnetic operating mechanism is suitable for
AC operation or DC operation.
The vacuum contactor consists of the following components:
• Operating mechanism with magnetic actuator and control elements
• Three contactor poles with vacuum interrupters
• Partition plate
• Operating rods for contact operation, mounted in the vessel front (mounting plate) in a
movable way and without seals by means of welded-in metal bellows.
• Mechanical closing latch
The vacuum contactor is latched mechanically in CLOSED position. A latch then holds the
vacuum contactor in closed position even without auxiliary voltage.
The vacuum contactor is released electrically either mechanically by means of a pushbutton
in the switchgear front, or electrically (option) by a shunt release or undervoltage release.

⑥ HV HRC fuse-link
⑦ Fuse box
Mode of operation If a HV HRC fuse-link operates, the switch is tripped via an articulation which is integrated into
the cover of the fuse box.
Thermal protection If the fuse tripping fails, the sudden overpressure trips the switch via a diaphragm and the
articulation situated in the cover of the fuse box.
The thermal protection works independently of the type and design of the HV HRC fuse-link
used. The thermal protection is maintenance-free and independent of any outside climatic
effects.
The HV HRC fuse-links make SIBA (see page 61, "Selection of HV HRC fuse-links") release the
striker depending on the temperature and trip the switch-disconnector as early as in the
overload range of the fuses. Impermissible heating of the fuse box can be avoided in this way.
Fig. 24: 1250 A busbar system Fig. 25: 1600 A, 2000 A, 2500 A busbar
system
The busbar is single-pole insulated with silicone rubber. Each phase has an earthed layer on
the outside (screened busbar system). This design makes the busbar independent of climatic
effects.
As the busbar system is arranged outside the gas compartment, extension, replacement or
increasing the current carrying capacity by doubling the system is possible within a very short
period of time without requiring any gas work.
To by-pass a removed panel, busbars with double length are available. With these, a defective
panel can be by-passed within a few hours, and switchgear operation can continue.
NOTICE
Flashovers due to incompatible plug combinations
Can damage the switchgear.
➭ Use the same makes for combining plug types, surge arresters and limiters.
For gas-insulated switchgear NXPLUS C, only cable plugs shielded by means of an external
conductive layer (also called screened cable T-plugs) can be used. This external semi-
conductive layer must be earthed. Earthing is normally done through a cable connection.
Insulated cable T-plugs (without external conductive layer) are not permissible, as partial
discharges can arise very quickly due to the proximity to earthed parts. Partial discharges
destroy the cable T-plug, causing an arc between phase and earth.
The connection of conventional cable sealing ends with elbow adapters (e.g. type AKE) is not
permissible, as this connection system is insulated and not screened (no external conductive
layer).

INFORMATION
For 3-, 4-, 6- or 8-fold cable connection:
➭ Observe the manufacturer’s specifications to the rated normal current of the cable plugs
used.
Cable T-plug connection • Connection of cable T-plugs suitable for bushings with outside cone as interface type C
according to EN 50181
• Connection cross-sections up to 800 mm 2
Surge limiters • Pluggable on cable T-plug (Nexans Euromold, nkt cables, Tyco Electronics Raychem)
• Nexans Euromold
- Use of the cable T-plug 300PB-630A-U-BEGRENZ for connection of the surge limiter
• nkt cables
- Use of the cable T-plug CC 12-630, CC 17,5-630 or CC 24-630 in combination with the
assembly kit 26 500 33 for connection of the surge limiter
• Tyco Electronics Raychem
- Use of the cable T-plug SMOE 63862 for connection of the surge limiter
• Surge limiters recommended when motors with small starting currents (<600 A) are
connected
Mode of operation
① Switchgear vessel (filled with SF 6 gas
② Measurement box
③ Magnetic coupling
④ Red indication: not ready for service
⑤ Green indication: ready for service
For the ready-for-service indicator, a gas-tight measurement box is installed inside the
switchgear vessel.
A coupling magnet, which is fitted to the bottom end of the measurement box, transmits its
position to an armature outside the switchgear vessel through the non-magnetizable
switchgear 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 switchgear vessel.
The temperature effect is compensated via the same pressure change in both gas volumes.
9.12 Interlocks
• The three-position switch is equipped with a mechanical interlock. This interlock prevents
the circuit-breaker from being closed while the three-position switch is being operated.
Furthermore the mechanical interlock prevents the three-position switch from being
operated while the circuit-breaker is closed.
• The switching gate prevents switching straight from CLOSED to READY-TO-EARTH or from
READY-TO-EARTH to CLOSED, as the operating lever must be replaced and re-inserted in the
OPEN position.
• The control gate of the switching gate of the three-position switch can be padlocked in all
three switch positions. Control gate lever on the left: the three-position (switch-
)disconnector can be operated, in the center: switching operations are not possible, on the
right: ready-to-earth/earthing is possible.
• To do this, lift the interlocking lever ① and remove the cable compartment cover ② .
INFORMATION
To avoid mixing up, the cable compartment covers of panels with a width of 600 mm are
marked with different holes.

For installation on even and rigid concrete or steel structure (without considering building
influences), the tested ground accelerations meet the following requirements:
• Uniform Building Code 1997 (UBC) – Zone 4
• California Building Code 1998 (CBC) – Zone 4
• IEEE 693-2005 - High required response spectrum (Figure A.1).
Shock and vibration NXPLUS C switchgear can be upgraded to withstand stress caused by shock and vibration. For
safety (option) upgrading, shock and vibration tests have been carried out in accordance with the following
standards:
• ETSI EN 300 019-2-2; T2.3 Public Transportation
• IEC 60068-2-6, Environmental Testing – Part 2-6:Tests – Test Fc: Vibration (sinusoidal)
• IEC 60068-2-64, Environmental Testing – Part 2-64:Tests – Test Fh: Vibration, broad-band,
random and guidance (noise spectrum according to DNV).
Note to HV HRC fuse-links According to IEC 60282-1 (2009) Clause 6.6, the breaking capacity of HV HRC fuse-links 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-link
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.
To be observed during configuration of switching devices and selection of HV HRC fuse-links:
• Use only fuse-links satisfying the stated operating conditions.
• Use only fuse-links whose breaking capacity was tested at least with the maximum system
voltage.
In case of doubt, select a suitable HV HRC fuse-link together with the manufacturer.
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 protection tables show recommended HV HRC fuse-links for protection of
transformers, motors and voltage transformers in the metering panel.
Furthermore, the switchgear also permits fuse protection of transformers up to ratings of
2000 kVA. Please contact us for such applications.
The protection tables are valid for:
• Maximum ambient air temperature in the switchgear room of 40°C according to
IEC 62271-1/VDE 0670-1000 considering the influence of the switchgear enclosure
Requirements according to IEC 62271-105
Protection of distribution transformers according to IEC 60787/VDE 0670-402
Rated power of transformer (no overload operation)
The specified SIBA HV HRC fuses are type-tested partial range 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 us if you want to use HV HRC fuses from other manufacturers.
The selection of HV HRC fuse-links is based on:
• IEC 60282-1
• IEC 62271-105/VDE 0671-105
• IEC 60787/VDE 0670-402
• Recommendations and data sheets of fuse manufacturers
• Permissible power loss in the switchgear enclosure at an ambient air temperature up to
40° C
NOTICE
Use of HV HRC fuse-links with incorrect characteristic
Can damage the switchgear.
Do not use HV HRC fuse-links with different characteristics for nominally equal rated normal
current.
➭ Use exactly specified HV HRC fuse-links from the protection table.

The operating voltage may deviate from the rated voltage specified in the table by –20% to +10%.
Closing solenoid (-Y9) The closing solenoid 3AY1510 closes the circuit-breaker. After completion of a closing
operation, the closing solenoid is de-energized internally. It is available for AC or DC voltage.
Power consumption: 140 W or 140 VA.
Shunt releases Shunt releases are used for automatic or deliberate tripping of circuit-breakers. They are
designed for connection to external voltage (DC or AC voltage). They can also be connected to
a voltage transformer for deliberate tripping.
Shunt releases based on two different principles are used:
• The shunt release (-Y1) 3AY1510 is used as standard in the basic circuit-breaker version.
With this design, the circuit-breaker is opened electrically. Power consumption: 140 W or
140 VA.
• The shunt release (-Y2) 3AX1101 with energy store is fitted if more than one shunt release
is required. With this design, the electrical opening command is transferred magnetically
and thus, the circuit-breaker is opened. Power consumption: 70 W or 50 VA.
Undervoltage release Untervoltage releases (-Y7) 3AX1103 are tripped automatically through an electromagnet or
deliberately. The deliberate tripping of the undervoltage release generally takes place via an
NC contact in the tripping circuit or via an NO contact by short-circuiting the magnet coil. With
this type of tripping, the short-circuit current is limited by the built-in resistors. Power
consumption: 20 W or 20 VA.
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.
Varistor module
NOTICE
Overvoltages in inductive circuits
Electrical control devices can be damaged by switching overvoltages.
➭ Do not switch off inductive consumers in DC circuits.
The inductances of the circuit-breaker operating mechanism and the circuit-breaker control
system (motor, closing solenoid, shunt release and auxiliary contactor) are equipped with the
varistor module 3AX1526 for DC operation. The module limits the overvoltage to approx. 500
V and is available for rated operating voltages from 60 V (DC) up to 220 V (DC). It contains two
separate varistor circuits.

longitudinal and cross girders cross girders (cable basement, example)
(example)
Reinforced-concrete plate
Suitable for small room dimensions or spans, as well as for few and smaller floor openings.
Double floor
Suitable if neither a cable basement nor sufficient cable ducts can be installed; it consists of
removable, flame-retardant floor plates mounted on a supporting structure. The supporting
floor is about 30 to 80 cm lower depending on the cable routing (bending radius).
Earthing system • Important: Observe the corresponding national and international standards and building
regulations.
• Provide effective earthing system for the substation building (e.g. foundation earth
electrode, ring earth electrode, earth rod). Provide for the corresponding earthing
connection points inside the substation building.
• Connect components brought into the substation building - such as metallic constructions,
floor reinforcement, doors, pressure relief systems, cable tracks, etc. - to the substation
earth, and earth them.
• Dimension the cross-sections of the earth electrodes sufficiently (e.g. foundation earth
electrode, ring earth electrode, earth rod).
Cable basement
NOTICE
Incorrectly dimensioned cable basement
Can damage cables or cable connections.
➭ The cable basement must allow adequate space for connecting and laying the cables.
➭ Do not violate the minimum cable bending radius of the cables.
Stipulations for evenness Evenness/straightness tolerance according to DIN 43661: 1 mm for 1 m length, 2 mm over
and straightness the width of the complete switchgear.
• Determine level differences between the installation surfaces of the panels using a
measuring sheet, and compensate with shims (0.5 - 1.0 mm).

humidity.
In the ambient air, the desiccant bags lose their effectiveness and cannot be used anymore.
➭ Do not damage or remove packing of desiccant bags.
➭ Do not unpack desiccant bags before use.
NOTICE
Outdoor storage of unpacked transport units
Can damage the transport units.
➭ Store transport units outdoors packed in seaworthy crates and in a weatherproof place.
If the comprehensive accessories, the delivered switchgear or parts thereof have to be stored
before installation, a suitable storage room or place has to be selected and prepared.
Intermediate storage of the transport units:
• In original packing as far as possible
• Observe the permissible storage temperature from -25 °C to +70 °C in accordance with the
installed secondary devices
• In a weatherproof place
• Protected against damage
• If packed in seaworthy crates, the switchgear can be stored for a maximum of 6 months
(desiccant bags)
• Store transport units in such a way that they can be taken out later in the correct order for
installation
Switchgear storage in Store the switchgear in a closed room. The storage room must have the following
closed rooms characteristics:
• Floor with adequate load-bearing capacity (weights as per delivery note)
• Even floor to enable stable storage.
• Well-ventilated and as free of dust as possible
• Dry and protected against humidity and vermin (e.g. insects, mice, rats)
• Heatable up to at least 2 °C above outside temperature to prevent condensation.
• Check humidity in the packings every 4 weeks (condensation)
• Do not unpack small parts to avoid corrosion and loss.
Outdoor storage of If the switchgear or parts thereof are delivered in seaworthy crates, the crates can be stored up
switchgear packed in to 6 months in other rooms or outdoors. The storage place must have the following
seaworthy crates characteristics:
• Floor with adequate load-bearing capacity (weights as per delivery note)
• Roofed, protected against humidity (rain water, flooding, melting water from snow and ice),
pollution, vermin (rats, mice, termites, etc.) and unauthorized access
• For protection against floor humidity, place all crates on planks and square timber.
• After 6 months of storage, have the desiccant agent regenerated professionally. To do this,
ask for expert personnel via the regional Siemens representative
Set of assembly facilities The "set of assembly facilities" (order no.: 802-9035.3, available at the regional Siemens
representative) is recommended. The "set of assembly facilities" comprises the following
auxiliary means:
• Certified lifting rods (crane rods) for lifting or lowering panels with panel widths of 600 mm
and 900 mm
- 2 lifting rods: Length 753 mm, Ø 20 mm
- 2 lifting rods: Length 1053 mm, Ø 20 mm
• 1 set with 4 ring eyes, washers and hexagon nuts each, for lifting low-voltage
compartments
• 1 handle for lifting or lowering voltage transformers type 4MT2 or 4MT3
• 12 supporting feet for secure standing of the panels
• 1 lever for removing the silicone insert of voltage transformers type 4MT3
• 1 voltage transformer assembly jack (scissor-type jack) for lifting or lowering voltage
transformers type 4MT3
• 3 extraction tools for the screw-type cone of the busbar
• 2 gauges for assembling the busbars
• 2 gauges for aligning panels with double busbars
• 2 tools for charging the circuit-breaker operating mechanism
• 1 adapter for emergency operation of the three-position switch
• 2 adjustment tools for aligning the switchgear vessels
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, e.g. 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.
NOTICE
Disposal of packing and consumables
Incorrectly disposed of packings and consumables can pollute the environment.
➭ Packing and consumable materials of the switchgear must be disposed of in an
environmentally compatible way or recycled.
➭ Observe local regulations for disposal and environmental protection.
Checking for ➭ Check whether the delivery is complete and correct using the delivery note and packing
completeness lists.
➭ Compare the serial number of the switchgear panels on the delivery note with that on the
packing and the rating plates of the panels.
➭ Check whether the accessories are complete.
Checking for transport ➭ Temporarily open the packing in a weatherproof place to detect hidden damages. Stick the
damages PE foil together again and do not remove it totally until reaching the final mounting position

• Spring-operated mechanism
• Spring-operated/stored-energy mechanism
• Slow motion mechanism
The MCU-MH is mounted in the module housing on standard top-hat rails.
Application The MCU-MH is equipped with a universal wide voltage range. It can optionally be connected
to different auxiliary and motor voltages. The auxiliary and motor voltages can be combined
and do not necessarily have to be identical.
Binary inputs Command input, feedback and interlocking is done through a total of 9 binary inputs (BI).
NOTICE
Functional failure due to insufficient voltage quality
The functioning of MCU-MH may be impaired.
➭ The voltage quality of the voltages used for auxiliary and load circuits must correspond to
applicable standards.
➭ If an AC control or AC load voltage is used, which is generated directly from single-phase
inverters, earth UN2~.
NOTICE
Functional failure due to incorrect circuit of the command inputs
The functioning of MCU-MH may be impaired.
➭ For activation of the command inputs for disconnector CLOSED, disconnector OPEN,
earthing switch OPEN and earthing switch CLOSED, do not use any external switching
contacts that are equipped with capacitors > 4.7 nF connected in parallel with the contact.
NOTICE
Damage to MCU-MH due to test voltages
If the specified limits (1 kV, 1 s) are exceeded during dielectric tests according to the
standard IEC 62271-200, the MCU-MH may be damaged by too high test voltages.
➭ Before performing the dielectric test, remove the connecting plugs at the MCU-MH.
Output of fault signals Fault signals at the unit are displayed via a red flashing LED status indicator.
Possible causes for a fault signal:
• An incorrect sense of rotation of the motor was detected while moving the operating
mechanism from disconnector OPEN / earthing switch OPEN position to
disconnector CLOSED / earthing switch CLOSED position.
• There is an internal MCU-MH fault (watchdog).
• The feedback monitoring time (runtime monitoring of the operating mechanism) for
protecting the drive motor and the mechanical system was exceeded.
• A command for moving the operating mechanism is applied to the active command inputs
(disconnector CLOSED / disconnector OPEN / earthing switch CLOSED / earthing
switch OPEN) for more than 5 minutes, although existing interlocking conditions prevent
the execution of this command.
Clearing the fault mode Options for clearing the fault mode after the cause for the fault mode was eliminated:
• Through the reset button at the device (operation of the reset button: insert a thin, pointed
object through the opening at the front side.)
• By removing and re-applying the control voltage
