 HPA BREAKER

 The HPA series of CB are designed and type tested to meet the
requirements of IEC-60056 / IS:1318

 The HPA series of CB use SF6 gas as insulating and arc

interruption medium

 Arc interruption and control are achieved by puffer principle

 Short arc duration followed by rapid dielectric recovery

 Long electrical life, as the interruption system develops low arc

energy and contact wear is minimal

 Long mechanical life with study and proven operating

mechanism

- 10000 operations at no load

- 10000 operations at rated current

 HPA BREAKER

 Operationally safe and reliable in wide range of operating

temperature
-5o to +40o c
 Capable of interrupting small magnetizing and capacitive currents
 Compact design with relatively light weight construction
 Features of operating mechanism
− O-C-O operation without recharging
− closing spring charged by motor in less than 15 secs.
− electrical anti-pumping
− provision for manual recharging
− synchronization and fast auto-reclosure duty
