3 Structure and function
3.1 Structure of the breaker poles
(Figures 3/1, 3/2 und 3/6)
The 36 kV and 40.5 kV circuit-breakers of type VD 4
are designed as w ithdraw able units.
The poles, w hich are constructed in colum n form ,
are m ounted on a torsionally rigid enclosure sub-
structure w ith rollers. The live parts of the breaker
poles are located in the insulating m aterial pole
tubes 57.8 and protected from im pacts and other
external influences.
W ith the breaker closed, the current path leads
from the upper contact arm 57.1 and a cham ber
holder fixed in the pole tube to the fixed contact
58.2 in the vacuum interrupter 58, then via the
m oving contact 58.3 and roller contact to the
low er contact arm 57.2. The sw itching m otion is
effected by m eans of the insulated coupling rod
w ith internal contact force springs.
The basic structure of a vacuum interrupter is
explained in figure 3/6.
3.2 Structure of the breaker operating mechanism
(Figures 3/3, 3/4, 6/1 to 6/5, 7/5 to 7/8)
The operating m echanism located in the housing
substructure is of the stored-energy spring type
and acts on the three breaker poles. The necessary
operating energy is stored ready for activation by
charging the spring energy storage m echanism .
The stored-energy spring m echanism essentially
consists of drum 55.33 containing the spiral spring,
the charging system , the latching and operating
m echanism and the linkages w hich transm it the
force to the breaker poles. In addition, there are
supplem entary com ponents such as the charging
m otor, releases, auxiliary sw itches and the controls
and instrum ents.
The operating m echanism is fundam entally suitable
for autoreclosing and, due to the short charging
tim es, also for m ulti-shot autoreclosing.
The operating m echanism is norm ally fitted w ith a
charging m otor. There is also a facility for charging
the stored energy spring m anually.
There is one rating plate 55.7 w ith the m ain data of
the sw itch equipm ent on front cover plate left hand
side 50.7, and another on breaker m echanism
housing.
The basic version of the stored-energy spring
m echnism is fitted w ith the follow ing auxiliary
equipm ent:
Shunt release O FF Y2
Five-pole auxiliary sw itch S4 for annunciation
purposes
Auxiliary sw itch S7 for fault annunciation
O N -O FF operating shaft 54
M echanical sw itch position indicator 55.4
C harging condition indicator 55.8 for the spring
energy store
M echanical operating cycle counter 55.5.
The following additional equipment can be
installed:
B locking m agnet Y0 on w ithdraw able part
B locking m agnet Y1 w ith auxiliary sw itch S2
Shunt release O N Y3
Second shunt release O FF Y9
Indirect overcurrent release Y7
U ndervoltage release Y4
Five-pole auxiliary sw itches S3 and S5
C harging m otor M 0
Five-pole auxiliary sw itch S1 to sw itch the
charging m otor
Anti-pum ping relay K0.
3.2.1 Releases, blocking magnet and auxiliary switches
(Figures 3/3, 6/2, 7/7 and 7/8)
The releases and the blocking m agnet are
m ounted at the bottom of the stored-energy spring
m echanism .
The allocation of the auxiliary sw itches can be seen
in the w iring diagram of figure 7/8.
The five-pole auxiliary sw itch S1 is operated by the
charging condition indicator 55.8. It controls the
charging m otor M 0, serves as an electrical interlock
for shunt release O N Y3 w hen the spring energy
storage m echanism is not sufficiently charged, and
also provides an electrical sw itching readiness
signal.
O peration of the five-pole auxiliary sw itches S3, S4
and S5 is dependent on the sw itching position of
the circuit-breaker.
Auxiliary sw itch S3 interrupts the circuit of the op-
tional additional shunt release O FF Y9 w ith the
circuit-breaker in the open position, and the circuits
of shunt release O N Y3 and the optional blocking
m agnet Y1 w ith the circuit-breaker in the closed
position. There is one further N O C for other
purposes.
11
Auxiliary sw itch S4 interrupts the circuit of shunt
release O FF Y2 w ith the circuit-breaker in the open
position. O ne further N O C and three N C C s are
available for annunciation, control and interlock
purposes.
Auxiliary sw itch S5 can be optionally designed w ith
any possible com bination of contacts from five
N O C s to five N C C s. Its contacts are available for
any required control, annunciation or interlock
functions. The auxiliary sw itch is norm ally
configured as show n in figure 7/8.
The single pole auxiliary sw itch S7 (fleeting contact
tim e 30 m s) serves to provide a fault signal
("breaker released"). W ith rem ote control, the
auxiliary sw itch is necessarily operated via:
Shunt release O FF Y2 or
Shunt release O FF Y9 or
U ndervoltage release Y4 or
Indirect overcurrent release Y7.
Note:
1.Shunt releases O FF (Y2) and O N (Y3) are
exclusively provided for opening and closing in
norm al operation. For safety breaking
operations, the second shunt release O FF (Y9)
m ust be used, in m ost cases w ith a separate
control voltage supply.
These three releases are of the solenoid type
and suitable for a large num ber of operating
cycles.
2.The undervoltage release (Y4) and/or indirect
overcurrent release (Y7) are pure safety and
protection releases and m ust not be used for
sw itching in norm al operation.
3.3 Function
3.3.1 Charging of the spring energy store
(Figures 3/3, 6/2, 6/6 and 7/8)
To provide the necessary m otive energy, the spring
energy storage m echanism is charged via chain
55.34 fitted w ith ratchet w heel 55.35, either
autom atically by a charging m otor or by hand in a
vertical pum ping action w ith charging lever 128.
The current charging condition is show n at
charging condition indicator 55.8
As a precondition for an autoreclosing sequence,
the operating m echanism is either (re-)charged
after a closing operation autom atically by the
charging m otor, or it requires (re-)charging by hand
if the operating m echanism is of the m anual type.
3.3.2 Closing procedure
(Figures 3/4, 3/6, 6/1, 6/3 and 7/7)
The closing process is initiated m anually by the
double bit key 145 and the O N -O FF operating shaft
54, or electrically by activation of shunt release Y3.
The release m echanism then perm its drive shaft 55.30
to be rotated by the (previously) charged spiral spring.
The m oving contact 58.3 in vacuum interrupter 58 is
m oved until the contacts touch by cam disk and further
kinem atic links. In the further sequence of m otion,
spring arrangem ent is tensioned and the appropriate
am ount of contact force thus applied. The available
overtravel is higher than the m axim um value of
contact erosion during lifetim e of the interrupter.
D uring the closing process, opening springs are
sim ultaneously tensioned.
3.3.3 Opening procedure
(Figures 3/3, 3/6, 6/3 and 7/7)
The opening procedure is initiated m anually by the
double bit key 145 and the O N -O FF operating shaft
54, or electrically by activation of one of the
releases Y2, Y4, Y7 or Y9. O bserve the notes in
section 3.2.1 on controlof the releases. R elease
m echanism then perm its drive shaft 55.30 to be
turned further by the spring energy storage
m echanism , w hich is still sufficiently charged. The
opening spring, w hich is thus released, m oves the
contact 58.3 into the open position at a defined speed.
3.3.4 Autoreclosing sequence
An O FF-O N or O FF-O N -O FF autoreclosing se-
quence is activated and checked by the protection
system . It is necessary for the spiral spring in the
operating m echanism to be in the (re-)charged
condition, w ith the circuit-breaker in the closed
position. The (re-)charging process is carried out
autom atically after closing of the breaker on
breakers w ith m otor charging m echanism s, but
m ust be carried out m anually on breakers w ithout
charging m otors (or w hen the charging m otor has
broken dow n). O pening of the breaker is also
possible during the (re-)charging process, but sub-
sequent closing of the breaker is how ever blocked
until the charging process has been com pleted.
3.3.5 Quenching principle of the vacuum interrupter
D ue to the extrem ely low static interrupter cham ber
pressure of 10
-4
to 10
-8
m bar, only a relatively sm all
contact gap is required to achieve a high dielectric
strength. The arc is extinguished on one of the first
natural current zeros.
D ue to the sm all contact gap and the high con-
ductivity of the m etal vapour plasm a, the arc drop
voltage, and additionally, due to the short arcing
tim e, the associated arc energy, are extrem ely low ,
w hich has advantageous effects on the life of the
contacts and thus on that of the vacuum
interrupters.

6.3.1 Charging the spring energy storage mechanism
C ircuit-breakers w ith charging m otors:
C harging takes place autom atically.
If the charging m otor breaks dow n, the charging
process can be carried out or com pleted
m anually.
C ircuit-breakers w ith m anual charging m echanism s:
Insert charging lever 128 into the socket 55.6
and pum p up and dow n for approx. 25 strokes
until the charged condition is displayed.
W hen the charged condition is reached, the
charging m echanism autom atically disengages,
and further strokes of the charging lever have no
effect.
Note:
C harging of the spring energy storage m echanism
by hand should only take place w hen the truck is in
the test/disconnected or rem oved position.
Key to the charging condition indications:
D ischarged C harged
As a precondition for an autoreclosing sequence,
the operating m echanism is either (re-)charged
after a closing operation autom atically by the
charging m otor, or it requires (re-)charging by hand
if the operating m echanism is of the m anual type.
6.3.2 Closing and opening
O perate the local or rem ote electrical control
unit.
O bserve sw itch position indicator 55.4.
The m echanical control system facilitates m anual
operation of the circuit-breaker in the sw itchgear
cubicle even w ith the door closed:
Fit double bit key 145 on O N -O FF operating
shaft 54.
Turn the double bit key approx. 15 clockw iese
until the stop is reached to close the circuit-
breaker, or anti-clockw ise to open it.
See also note in section 3.2.1
The operating cycle counter 55.5 is autom atically
increm ented by one com plete figure w ith each
sw itching cycle. O n com pletion of a sw itching
operation the sw itch position indicator 55.4 in the
w indow of front cover plate 50.7. show s the

7 M aintenance
M aintenance serves to ensure trouble-free
operation and achive the longest possible
w orking life of the sw itchgear. In accordance w ith
D IN 31 051 / IEC 61208 it com prises the follow ing
closely related activities:
Inspection: D eterm ination of the actual condition
Servicing: M easures to m aintain the specified
condition
Repair: M easures to restore the specified
condition.
7.1 General
(Figure 7/5)
Vacuum circuit-breakers are characterized by their
sim ple and robust construction. They have a long
life expectancy. Their operating m echanism s have
a low m aintenance requirem ent, and the
interrupters are m aintenance-free during their
w orking life. There is no adverse effect on the
vacuum , even from frequent sw itching of operating
and short-circuit currents.
The servicing intervals and scope are determ ined
by environm ental influences, the sw itching
sequences and num ber of short-circuit breaking
operations.
W ith carefully perform ed inspections and servicing
w ork, and under norm al operating conditions, the
circuit-breakers, depending on the type, have a
service life of up to 20,000 operating cycles and m ore.
Note:
The follow ing m ust be observed for all m aintenance
w ork:
The relevant specifications in section 1.2.2
N otes on safety at w ork in section 6.1
Standards and specifications in the country of
installation.
M aintenance w ork m ay only be perform ed by fully
trained personnel, observing all the relevant safety
regulations. It is recom m ended that AB B C alor
Em ag after-sales service personnel should be
called in, at least during the perform ance of
servicing and repair w ork.
W hile the w ork is in progress, all auxiliary voltage
sources m ust also be disconnected and secured to
prevent reconnection.
Note:
In order to prevent accidents (particularly injury
to hands!) extrem e care should be taken during
all repair w ork on the operating m echanism ,
especially w ith front cover plates 50.6 and 50.7
rem oved.
The spiral spring in the spring energy strage
m echanism , for instance, retains a basic tension
w hich is independent of the charging and
discharging processes during sw itching, so as to
ensure correct function. This spring energy can be
inadvertently released if w ork is perform ed
incorrectly on the spring m echanism !
7.2 Inspection and functional testing
7.2.1 Switching devices in general
The proper condition of the sw itching device is to
be verified by regular inspection.
U nder norm al operating conditions, testing by a
qualified personnel is to be perform ed at least every
4 years (in accordance w ith VB G 4 standard).
In unusual operating conditions (including adverse
clim atic conditions) and/or special environm ental
pollutions (e.g. heavy contam ination and aggressi-
ve atm osphere), inspection m ay also be necessary
at shorter intervals.
Inspection at fixed intervals m ay be w aived if the
sw itchgear is perm anently m onitored by a qualified
personnel.
The checks first and forem ost com prise visual
exam ination for contam ination, corrosion, m oisture
and discharge phenom ena.
If an incorrect condition is found, appropriate
servicing m easures are to initiated.
7.2.2 Stored-energy spring mechanism
(Figures 7/6 and 7/7)
Functional testing of the operating m echanism is to
be perform ed:
after 5000 operating cycles or
during servicing w ork as set out in 7.2.1.
Prior to functional testing, sw itch the breaker off
and isolate the outgoing feeder.
Note:
Isolate and secure the w orking area in accordance
w ith the safety regulations specified by D IN VD E/
IEC .
Scope of functional testing:
Perform several sw itching operations under no
load, above all w ith circuit-breakers seldom
operated in norm al service.
Sw itch off the charging m otor (if fitted) and
discharge the spring m echanism by O N /O FF
sw itching operations.
Exam ine visual the condition of the lubrication on
rotary bearings, sliding surfaces, etc.
C heck the proper m echanical/electrical se-
quence of the individual functions.
7.2.3 Checking auxiliary s witch s ettings on with-
drawable part
(Figures 6/4, 6/6, 7/6 to 7/8)
C om pliance w ith the interlock conditions in the
areas of the test/disconnected position and the
service position is ensured by auxiliary sw itches
S8 and S9, located in the breaker housing.
22
In test operations, the w ithdraw able part m ust be
m oved by hand w ith the crank 146 fitted.
1.Settings in the area of the test/disconnected
position
M ove the w ithdraw able part out of the test/
disconnected position tow ards the service
position w ith a few turns of the crank.
Slow ly m ove the w ithdraw able part back to

Auxiliary sw itch S8 m ust then operate w hen
the hand crank has a rem aining angle of + 60
of turn to reach the stop.
Slow ly insert the w ithdraw able part from the
test/disconnected position tow ards the
service position until auxiliary sw itch S8 just
operates.
In this position, it m ust still just be possible to
m ove closing push rod 55.2. For this test, the
function of the blocking m agnet Y0 (if fitted)
m ust be deactivated m anually.
This condition ensures that the electrical
interlock takes effect before the m echanical
interlock in the m otion sequence involved.
2. Settings in the area of the service position
M ove the w ithdraw able part out of the lim it
position tow ards the test/disconnected
position w ith a few turns of the crank.
Slow ly m ove the w ithdraw able part forw ards

C heck this condition as follow s:
It m ust not be possible to close the circuit-
breaker w ith the w ithdraw able part in any
position betw een the test/disconnected
position and the service position.
Enabling of sw itching w hen the w ithdraw able
part m oves into the service position is
effected electrically by operation of auxiliary
sw itch S9 in the breaker housing.
For m otion into the test/disconnected
position, the sam e enabling conditions apply
analogously, in this case by m eans of auxiliary
sw itch S8 in the breaker housing.
4.It m ust only be possible to open the circuit-
breaker (m anually) w hen the w ithdraw able part

7.3.3 Breaker pole
The breaker pole w ith the vacuum interrupter is
m aintenance-free up to reaching the perm issible
num ber of vacuum interrupter operating cycles in
accordance w ith section 2.4.
C hecking of the vacuum is only necessary w hen
there is good cause to suspect that force applied
externally to a pole tube has caused dam age to the
vacuum interrupter inside.
If the pole tube is dam aged or destroyed, it m ay be
necessary to replace the com plete breaker pole.
The w orking life of the vacuum interrupter is defined
by the sum current lim it corresponding to the
equipm ent data in individual cases in accordance
w ith section 2.4:
W hen the sum current lim it is reached, the
com plete breaker poles are to be replaced.
W hen the perm issible num ber of m echanical
operating cycles (i.e. the num ber corresponding
to I
a
=0 on the characteristic curve) of the
vacuum interrupters has been reached, the
breaker poles m ust be replaced. H ow ever, it
should be investigated beforehand as to
w hether the installation of a new breaker w ould
be m ore advantageous.
For testing the vacuum w ithout dism antling the
circuit-breaker you m ay use:
Vacuum tester VID AR ,
from Program m a Electric G m bH ,
B ad H om burg v.d.H .
A test D C voltage of 60 kV is to be set for testing of
the pressure inside the interrupter cham ber w ith

8 Application of the X-ray regulations
O ne of the physical properties of vacuum
insulations is the possibility of X-ray em issions
w hen the contact gap is open. The specified type
test perform ed by the Physikalisch-Technische
B undesanstalt (PTB ) in B runsw ick dem onstrates
that the local dosage output of 1 Sv/h at a
distance of 10 cm from the touchable surface is not
exceeded.
The results are as follow s:
The use of the vacuum interrupters at rated
voltage is com pletely safe.
The application of the rated pow er frequency
w ithstand voltage specified for the sw itching
devices by D IN VD E 0670 and IEC 60056 is
also safe.
H igher voltages than the rated pow er frequency
w ithstand voltage or D C test voltage specified in
D IN VD E or IEC standards m ust not be applied!
Fulfilm ent of the above requirem ent w ith the
vacuum interrupter in the open position is
dependent on m aintenance of the specified
distance betw een the contacts (w hich is
autom atically ensured w ith correct m echanism
function and force transm ission).
