Shunt release
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.

WARNING
In the ambient air, the desiccant bags lose their effectiveness rapidly
The formation of condensation can lead to corrosion of switchgear parts. High air humidity
can lead to creepage distances.
⇨ If a gas compartment has been open for more than 30 minutes, replace all desiccant
bags.
⇨ Do not open the packing of the desiccant bags until right before putting them into the
panel.
⇨ Use only desiccant bags whose packing is not damaged and whose humidity indicators
in the packing are blue.
⇨ If the humidity indicators are pink, do not use the desiccant bags.
⇨ If the desiccant bags have been exposed to the air for more than 30 minutes, do not use
the desiccant bags anymore.
⇨ After opening the packings, mount the desiccant bags in the gas compartment within
30 minutes.
⇨ Close the gas compartment hermetically with sealing rings (O-rings).
⇨ Evacuate the gas compartment immediately.
CAUTION
Insufficient gas filling
Operating the switchgear without service readiness due to insufficient gas filling can cause
injury and the destruction of the switchgear due to an internal arc.
⇨ Before performing any switching operation, check the gas pressure in the compartments
pre-filled at the factory on the associated gas pressure indications. The values must not
drop below the temperature-dependent limit values.
⇨ Do not install, commission or operate a switchgear with incorrect or too low gas
pressures. If required, isolate the switchgear and put it out of service.
⇨ Contact the Siemens Service Hotline.
CAUTION

WARNING
Danger of suffocation and environmental damages due to SF6
A high concentration of SF6 in the air can cause suffocation. Larger amounts of SF6 in the
atmosphere can cause environmental damage.
SF6 gas is heavier than air. SF6 gas concentrates first near to the floor and in floor openings.
⇨ Observe the safety data sheet for SF6 gas.
⇨ Do not enter confined spaces where SF6 gas may accumulate.
⇨ Check and document reusability (dew-point, gas quality) before working with SF6 gas.
⇨ While working with SF6 gas, provide for good ventilation.
⇨ After working with SF6 gas, vent the cable basement and any hollows in the floors with
special care.
7.10.1 Completing the assembly of busbar runs and filling with insulating gas
The individual phases and sections of the busbar (called busbar sections hereafter) must be
filled with gas on site. Each busbar section forms one gas compartment.
Busbar sections within one transport unit that are already filled and closed hermetically at the
factory are not filled with gas on site.
All parts of the switchgear that have to be filled with gas are equipped with desiccant bags in
order to eliminate residual humidity in the gas filling. In ambient air, the desiccant agent loses its
effectiveness rapidly.
To expose the desiccant bags as briefly as possible to the ambient air, the following installation
and gas work is performed completely on one busbar section, and is then continued on the
next busbar section, etc.
Equipping the busbar housing covers with desiccant bags [▶ Page 52, "Housing covers with

WARNING
High speed moving parts
Parts behind the front cover can automatically move quickly and cause serious injury. Do not
remove the front cover of the operating mechanism until the following actions have been
performed:
⇨ To avoid impermissible switching operations, switch off auxiliary voltage, e.g.:
- Switch off the auxiliary voltage supply of the motor.
- Trip the m.c.b.
- Disconnect the control cables.
⇨ Discharge the spring energy store in the operating mechanism:
- Push the manual OFF pushbutton.
- Push the manual ON pushbutton.
- Push the manual OFF pushbutton again.
- Check if the "spring charged" indicator shows "spring not charged". If the spring is still
charged, contact the Siemens Service Hotline.
WARNING
Commissioning without function test
Putting defective switchgear into operation can cause life-endangering injury due to an
internal arc.
⇨ Execute a mechanical function test and test operation successfully before
commissioning. Never put switchgear into operation if a part of it does not work as
described.
⇨ If faults cannot be cleared on site, do not put the switchgear into operation, and contact
the Siemens Service Hotline.
1. Before the function test and the test operation, operators must make themselves familiar
with switchgear operation.
2. Read the operating instructions before the test operation. Test operation helps you to verify
the perfect operation of the switchgear without high voltage.
3. The work described below must be performed on each panel.

DANGER
Mortal danger due to internal arc
The switchgear is classified according to IEC 62271‑200, which means that hazardous areas
are specified as indicated on the rating plate (type plate). Uncontrolled access to hazardous
areas can cause life-endangering injury in case of internal arc.
⇨ The switchgear operator must establish the accessibility to the switchgear room in
accordance with the spatial conditions and the equipment installed in there.
⇨ Observe the switchgear design and determine the IAC classification of the switchgear by
means of the data on the rating plate.
WARNING
High speed moving parts
Parts behind covers can automatically move quickly and cause serious injury.
⇨ Do not remove any covers from the switchgear.
⇨ Do not reach into openings.
CAUTION
Insufficient gas filling
Operating the switchgear without service readiness due to insufficient gas filling can cause
injury and the destruction of the switchgear due to an internal arc.
⇨ Before performing any switching operation, check the gas pressure in the compartments
pre-filled at the factory on the associated gas pressure indications. The values must not
drop below the temperature-dependent limit values.
⇨ Do not install, commission or operate a switchgear with incorrect or too low gas
pressures. If required, isolate the switchgear and put it out of service.
⇨ Contact the Siemens Service Hotline.
CAUTION
Live incoming cable
Earthing a live incoming cable will result in a short circuit and trip an upstream circuit-
breaker.
⇨ Verify safe isolation from supply before earthing a feeder.
CAUTION
Operating lever slipping off or turning back
When the operating lever is inserted in the actuating opening, it can slip off and cause
injury. The tensioning force of the operating spring can turn the operating lever back and
cause injury.
⇨ Insert the operating lever carefully in the actuating opening.
⇨ Hold the operating lever at both handles while switching.
⇨ After switching, remove the operating lever from the actuating opening.
NOTICE
Incorrect operating levers
Using incorrect operating levers can damage or deactivate the safety equipment of the
switchgear.

4. Pull out the screwdriver.
5. Refit the plastic split rivet.
✓ The solenoid is released again, blocking further movements.
INFORMATION
Due to the system, mechanical vibrations can cause short-time oscillation of the voltage
transformer disconnecting facility during operation as a result of mechanical vibrations,
which can cause minor voltage fluctuations.
⇨ Adjust a stabilization time of 200 ms for the relevant protection settings.
INFORMATION
The inside-cone bushing for the feeder voltage transformer connection is only provided for
operating a voltage transformer.
⇨ Use the inside-cone bushing for feeder voltage transformers only for operation at a
current of < 10 A.
The panel can be equipped with a disconnecting and earthing facility for the feeder voltage
transformer. The voltage transformer disconnecting facility is located in the switchgear front
unit.

CAUTION
Blocked control gate
If the interlock is bypassed, switching operations are possible that can cause an internal arc.
⇨ The feeder must be in no-load condition and must not carry current.
⇨ Do not perform switching operations.
⇨ Do only eliminate the interlocking of the control gate in order to push the control gate
out of the center position.
⇨ Use a screwdriver that fits the hole diameter of the solenoid openings.
If the interlock at the control gate is equipped with a solenoid and if there is no auxiliary voltage
available, the control gate is blocked. In case of emergency, the interlocking can be bypassed as
follows:
9.4 Interlocks
Switching devices may only be controlled and operated in logical dependence on the switch
position of other devices. Impermissible switching operations must be interlocked in order to:
▪ Provide full protection for the operating personnel.
▪ Prevent switchgear damages and power failures.
The interlocks are mainly of the mechanical type.
Mechanical interlocking
The circuit-breaker and the three-position disconnector are mechanically interlocked against
each other.
▪ During manual operation of the three-position disconnector, the mechanical interlocking
prevents the circuit-breaker from being closed if the operating lever is inserted.
▪ The mechanical interlocking prevents the three-position disconnector from being operated
while the circuit-breaker is closed.
DANGER
Mortal danger due to live parts
Ensure safe isolation from supply without any doubt. Touching live parts leads to electric
shock.
⇨ Possible sources of failure:
- Defective voltage indicator (or device for function testing of the coupling section)
- Maloperation of the voltage indicator (or device for function testing of the coupling
section)
⇨ Test the perfect function of the voltage indicator and the coupling section in accordance
with national standards:
- On a live panel
- With a test unit according to IEC 61243‑5/EN 61243‑5
- On all phases
⇨ Use only voltage indicators or devices according to EN 61243‑5/IEC 61243‑5/
VDE 0682‑415 to test the function of the coupling section. The interface conditions
have not changed as against the old standard VDE 0681 Part 7; the corresponding
indicators can still be used.

WARNING
Defective voltage indicator
Using a defective voltage indicator can lead to incorrect indication of safe isolation from
supply. Touching live parts can lead to electric shock.
⇨ Before indicating the voltage, the function of the voltage indicator must be tested.
⇨ If the function test of the voltage indicator is not completed successfully, the device is
defective and must not be used for voltage indication.
The voltage indicator and the associated coupling section do not have a self-test function.
Therefore, a function test must be performed before indicating the voltage.
Perform the function test:
▪ On an energized LRM interface
▪ On a voltage source with known voltage in the area of the pickup values according to
IEC 61243-5
▪ With an LRM function test unit
1. Insert the voltage indicator in a test unit and read the indication.
