 MME 24 SF6 LOAD BREAK SWITCH & DISCONNECTOR

SERIES MS

Functioning concept
MS switches are made of an epoxy cast resin housing
filled with SF6 gas at the pressure of 150 kPa abs.,
operative life sealed.(Standard IEC 62271-103)
The moving contact are fixed on the insulated rotary shaft
inside the cast resin body, while the fi-xed contacts are
mounted directly on the cast resin body.
The rotary motion of the shaft is made by an ope-rating
mechanism placed on the front. The switch has three
different positions: closed, open and eart-hed, which
naturally prevent any wrong operations.

Charateristics
MS switches use sulphur hexafluoride gas (SF6) for
insulation and breaking.
The active parts are placed in an insulating enclosure in
accordance with the IEC standards for sealed pressure
systems.
SF6 products offer remarkable characteristics:
Long service life - Maintenance-free active parts - Opera-
ting safety - Very low over-voltage level

 MME 24 DISCONNECTOR AND VACUUM CIRCUIT-BREAKER

SERIES SINTER

General Features
Electric arc breaking
The combined medium voltage circuit breaker of the
SINTER Series is the result of recognised technology
synergy for production of vacuum bottles and
manufacturing re-known know-how of Italian companies.
SINTER circuit breakers are indeed a combined system
of breaking and switching, inside a single SF6 insulated
enclosure, with pressure lower than 0.5 bar at 45 °C.
As regards the breaking, vacuum bottles are used.
As well known, the reduced necessary energy for vacuum
arc extinguishment enables to reach a long-lasting
electrical life (10.000 rated breaking current operations).

Apparatus operating mechanism

The mobile contacts short run and the lower moving bulk
(compared to other breaking technologies) enable using
much reduced closing and opening powers.
These features assure a limited wear of moving parts but
allow on the contrary a high number of mechanical
operations without maintenance. SINTER circuit brea-
kers
are fitted with energy storage mechanical control,
granting a very fast operation, independent from
operator, and well fitted with a wide accessories range,
to be easily mounted, able to satisfy all customer
expectations.

Apparatus structure
The whole active elements complex (circuit breaker and
main switch) are inside an heavy metallic stainless steel Main Components
structure filled with a high dielectric SF6 gas. Vacuum Interrupter
The structure is life-sealed and is holding 6 bushings
with operating mechanism. 1 Fixed contact terminal
The heavy structure grants stoutness and time-life 2 Ceramic insulator
reliability. 3 Mobile contact terminal

Voltage transformers
The resin insulated voltage transformers are used for the feeding of
measuring instruments and protection. They are suitable either for
fixed installation or mounted on withdrawable trucks. They comply
with IEC 60044 - 2 Standards. The dimensions of the fixed version
comply with DIN standards 42600 Narrow Type. The withdrawable
version equipped with fuses is custom made. The voltage transformers
can be fitted either with one or two poles. Their performances and
precision classes comply with the functional requirements of the appa-
ratus they are connected to. The withdrawable version is equipped
with medium voltage protection fuses, their replacement can be carri-
ed out while the switchboard is in service.

Current transformers
The current transformers are resin insulated and suitable for the
feeding of measuring instruments and protections. These transfor-
mers can have a wound core or bushing bar with one or more cores.
Their performances and precision classes comply with the apparatus
requirements. The current transformers comply with IEC 60044 - 1
Standard. Their dimensions meet the requirements of DIN 42600
Standards. The current transformers can be equipped also with a
capacitive socket for being connected to voltage indicator lambs.

Toroidal current transformers

The toroidal current transformers are resin insulated and suitable for
the feeding of measuring instruments and protection. These transfor-
mers can have a ring or a split core. Their performances and precision
classes comply with the apparatus requirements. They are suitable
both for measuring phase currents and determining earth fault
currents. They meet the requirements of IEC 60044 - 1 Standards.

Protection relay
MME Series switchboards can be equipped with different brand relay:
THYTRONIC, SEB, MS, ABB, SIEMENS, SCHNEIDER or others.
