Presentation
As a specialist in breaking technologies,
Merlin Gerin took naturally an interest in
vacuum breaking techniques.
A major R&D investment was made to
develop and engineer Evolis, providing
customers with the very best of vacuum
technology.
Make-up of a vacuum interrupter
b Vacuum interrupters basically have two electrical contacts, one xed and the other
mobile, and a sealed enclosure. The latter enables a high level of vacuum to be
maintained inside the interrupter (less than 10-7 bar) to provide insulation between
the open contacts.
b The dielectric strength of the vacuum allows the contact-to-contact distance to be
reduced. This short distance together with the low opening speed allow the use of a
low energy control mechanism. A metal bellows provides the link between the mobile
contact and the enclosure.
b In order to keep the vacuum level required for the correct operation of the
interrupter for 30 years, the enclosure must be perfectly sealed, and the various
components have to be fully degased. This is achieved by:
v choosing materials that are specically selected for this application
(metals and ceramics),
v choosing an appropriate assembly process (vacuum, high temperature brazing),
v the use of a "getter" material to absorb the residual gas.
Current breaking in a vacuum interrupter
b In vacuum breaking, the electrical arc generated on separation of the contacts is
made up of a plasma of metal vapors produced by the vaporization of the contact
material.
b At low values of current, these vapors very quickly condense on the shield and
contacts when the arc disappears, thus allowing:
v the vacuum to be re-established,
v a contact-to-contact dielectric strength to be restored that is greater than
the recovery voltage: breaking is then complete.
b At high currents, the electrical arc in the vacuum switches to a concentrated mode
which causes high, localized temperature rises on the contacts. The existence of
these hot spots is detrimental to the quick restoring of the dielectric strength.
Two techniques can be used in order to avoid this stagnation of the static
concentrated arc:
v the so called RMF (Radial Magnetic Field) technique, involves rotating the arc
thanks to an electromagnetic effect generated by a radial magnetic eld; this
therefore limits contact erosion.
v a more recent technique called AMF (Axial Magnetic Field) involves applying an
axial magnetic eld parallel to the axis of the two contacts (g. 2) which allows a
diffuse arc to be maintained (g. 3) even at high current values. The arc energy is
spread over the whole contact surface area, therefore causing very low levels of
erosion.
v Merlin Gerin has chosen this last technique for the Evolis range.

Merlin Gerins choices for Evolis
combined with its industrial expertise
provides customer with a highly reliable
range of circuit-breakers. These products
are suitable for the most demanding
conditions with the guarantee of full
compliance with international standards.
AMF technology
b Evolis circuit-breakers use AMF type vacuum interrupters.
According to technical and economic optimization considerations, the axial magnetic
eld is generated:
v either by a coil outside of the interrupter (g. 4), for rated voltages up to 17.5 kV,
v or by a coil integrated in the interrupter contact structure (g. 5), for the 24 kV
voltage level.
b In both cases the AMF vacuum interrupters feature low arc voltages (Uarc of
around 50 V) and maximum usage of the contact surface for very low contact erosion.
The advantages provided
b The above choices provide customers with the following advantages in
MV circuit-breaker applications:
v simple and compact vacuum interrupters,
v CuCr materials as main contacts in the interrupter for lower chopping current
and low surge during breaking,
v high electrical endurance meaning that there is no need for contact wear
inspection in normal network protection applications including highly disturbed
overhead line feeders.

Industrial process expertise
Systematic advanced control
The main components of the circuit-breaker, such as vacuum interrupter and
operating mechanism, are produced by Schneider Electric. The vacuum interrupters
are manufactured in an ultra-modern production unit in France.
During manufacture, each circuit-breaker is subjected to systematic advanced
testing.
Vacuum interrupter testing
b The level of vacuum in each interrupter is tested using the "magnetron discharge
method".
b Using this sophisticated procedure, measurement is very precise and does not
require access to the inside of the interrupter, thus not affecting the airtight seal.
Circuit-breaker testing
b A rigorous set of tests and measurements is carried out on each circuit-breaker.
b The results are reported and signed off by the quality control department on each
device's test certicate to ensure product traceability.
Compliance with standards
b Evolis complies with IEC 62271-100.
b Design and production are certied to ISO 9000 (version 2000).
b Production sites are certied to ISO 14001 (environmental standard).
Certification
b The certicate of conformity provides guarantees that the circuit-breaker:
v has been subject to type tests according to EN 45001 standards procedures in
accredited laboratories by independent organizations,
v is in conformity with recognized international standards
b Evolis is currently being certied by external EN 45011 accredited organizations,
members of the STL (Short circuit Testing Liaison)
v EN 45001: general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration
laboratories,
v EN 45011: general requirements for bodies of operating product certication
systems.
Environmental care
b Product design takes account of the environmental constraints described in a
"Product Environment Prole" dossier (PEP).
b An end-of-service-life manual details procedures for dismantling and processing
components.

Composition
The racking in function is provided by:
b The racking truck supporting the circuit breaker (mobile part).
b The cradle including the bushings (xed part).
b The LV plug.
Operating procedure
b The circuit breaker moves through 3 stable states:
v service: circuit breaker racked in and locked in place; low voltage plug connected,
v test: circuit breaker racked out and locked in place; low voltage connected,
v extracted: the circuit breaker can be unlocked and extracted from the cubicle.
3 stable states for manual operation
Comments:
Arrows indicate the lock-in-positions for the circuit breaker and the low voltage connector.
Functions
b A propulsive system combined with a screw-shaft makes racking in and racking
out easier. The racking mechanism can be operated with the door closed.
Interlocking prevents the user from inserting the lever until the racking base selector
has been positioned to the racking in/racking out position.
b Interlocking between circuit breaker position and cradle makes operation safer:
racking in or out only when the circuit breaker is open.
b Interlocking is also provided between the low voltage connector and the circuit
breaker. Racking in is only possible when the low voltage connector is connected.
The oor of the cradle includes all necessary xing holes to position properly the
operating mechanism and the power circuit of the earthing switch. This allows
reliable operations of the earthing switch and guarantees the interlocking between
circuit breaker and earthing switch.
b Earthing is automatically achieved throughout the whole racking in operation.
b Protective shutters placed on the cradle prevent access to the racking ngers
when the device is extracted (protection index: IP2X).
b For maintenance operations, it is possible to:
v padlock the shutters in the closed position,
v unlock the shutters mechanism to access the racking ngers.
b A full proof protection enables cradle and circuit breaker to be matched up.
This system is mounted on the racking base.
Part of it has to be assembled by the panel builder on the cubicle floor.
Accessories
b A set of auxiliary contacts:
v 4 racked in/racked out circuit breaker position contacts,
v 1 contact indicating that the circuit breaker is locked in place in the cradle.
b The earthing for the base is provided by a copper brush.
b A key locking system (Ronis or Profalux) for the racked out position
on the circuit breaker will provide increased safety when working downstream
of the circuit breaker. This system is combined with an earthing switch
(refer to page 43).
b Circuit breaker compartment door interlocking.
b The device allows circuit breaker operation only when the door is closed
for full version with truck.

Low voltage accessories
Undervoltage release (MN)
An undervoltage release operates to open the circuit breaker when the voltage at the
terminals of the release decreases below 35% of its rated voltage, even in case of
slow and gradual decrease.
It doesnt operate the circuit breaker when the voltage at its terminals exceeds 70%
of its rated apply voltage.
The closing of the circuit breaker is possible when the values of the voltage at the
terminals of the release are equal to, or higher than 85% of its rated voltage.
Its closing is impossible when the voltage of the terminals is lower than 35%
of its rated supply voltage.
Time delay unit for MN
To eliminate spurious tripping of the circuit breaker during momentary voltage drops
MN's action is time-delayed. This function is achieved by adding an external time
delay to the MN release circuit (delay is ajustable).
This unit is placed outside of the circuit breaker and can be inhibited by an
emergency stop button to obtain instant opening.
Low energy release (MITOP)
This specific coil actuates the opening mechanism of the poles to trip the circuit
breaker. It is characterized by a low energy consumption.
Any tripping caused by the Mitop release is indicated momentarily by an SDE type
changeover contact. This Release Unit also includes a coil enabling the remote
rearming of the SDE contact.
Comment:
To use the MITOP release requires the adjustment of a time delay to be set by the protection relay
in order to ensure a circuit breaker operating time of 45-50 ms.

Function
b The remote control enables remote opening and closing of the circuit breaker.
b In the case of continuous opening and closing orders, the remote control unit
blocks the device in the open position as standard: the anti-pumping function.
This function gives absolute priority to the opening order, but and also it stops closing
order and thus avoids the device being locked in an indefinite opening-closing cycle:
v the opening and closing coils may be fed power on a constant basis to achieve an
electrical type locking: there is no self-breaking contact inside the device,
v the interlocking between the opening and closing orders, whatever their causes,
is achieved as standard within the device's control mechanism.

Composition
b The remote control comprises:
v electrical motor and associated mechanism (MCH) equipped
with a spring-loaded limit switch (CH),
v two shunt trip releases:
- a closing release (XF),
- an opening release (MX).
b It can be added with:

v
v
shunt opening release (YO1),
second shunt opening release (YO2),
v
v
under voltage release (YN),
low energy release (MITOP).
Please check in the combination table the right associations of different releases.
Note: this table is present in order form at the end of this catalogue.
Shunt opening release (YO1 et YO2)
b This causes the instant opening of the circuit-breaker when energised.
Under voltage release (YN)
b An under voltage release operates to open the circuit-breaker when the voltage at
the terminals of the release falls below 35% of its rated voltage, even if the fall is slow
and gradual.
On the other hand, it does not operate the circuit-breaker when the voltage at its
terminals exceeds 70% of its rated supply voltage.
Circuit-breaker closing is possible when the values of the voltage at the terminals of
the release are greater than or equal to 85% of its rated voltage.
Closing is impossible when the voltage at the terminals is lower than 35% of its
rated supply voltage.
Low energy release (MITOP)
b This specic release comprises a low energy consumption unit and is used
specically with self-powered relay SEPAM 100LA ("REFLEX MODULE"), or VIP
relay.
Any tripping caused by the Mitop release is indicated momentarily by an SDE type
changeover contact.

v
v
electrical motor and gear reducer,
a shunt closing release (YF),
v
v
an antipumping relay,
an operation counter.
Electric motor and gear reducer
b The electrical motor arms and rearms the energy storage springs as soon as the

Open/closed auxiliary contacts
b The number of available contacts depends on the tted options on the operating
mechanism.
v In its basic conguration, the operating mechanism of the circuit-breaker
comprises a total of:
v
v
5 normally closed contacts (NC),
6 normally open contacts (NO),
v 1 changeover contact (CHG).
b Use of auxiliary contacts is given in the following table:
To find out the final number of contacts available, the above quantity
must be deducted from the total quantity (5 NC + 6 NO + 1 CHG) included in the
circuit-breaker.
(Example: a circuit-breaker equipped with a remote control and a shunt opening release
has 4 NC + 4 NO + 1 CHG available contacts. With an under-voltage release instead of
a shunt release, this circuit-breaker has 4 NC + 5 NO + 1CHG available contacts).
b When the 21-pin LV plug is used, the maximum number of available contacts is:
v
v
3 NC,
3 NO,
v 1 changeover.
(Instead of 5NC-6NO-1CHG with the 42-pin LV plug).
Locking of the circuit-breaker
in the open position
b This key lock allows the locking of the circuit-breaker in the "open" position by
the means of a key.
b The circuit-breaker is locked in the "open" position by blocking the opening
pushbutton in the "pushed-in position".
b The key lock is of Profalux or Ronis captive key type.
