SF circuit breakers
Safety
The breaking medium is sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) used at low pressure.
The insulating enclosure containing the circuit breaker pole(s) is equipped with
a safety membrane.
In addition, the rated characteristics, breaking the rated current under the rated
voltage, are generally maintained at zero relative bars of SF6.
Reliability
The motor-charged spring stored energy operating mechanism is a key factor
of device reliability: Schneider Electric cumulates 37 years experience with
this type of mechanism, 300,000 of which are already in operation.
Schneider Electrics mastery of design and the testing of sealed systems guarantees
sustained device performance for at least 30 years.
Increased endurance
61051N
Less maintenance
Throughout the devices service life, which in normal operating conditions may be
at least 30 years, the only maintenance required is on the mechanical operating
mechanism, once every 10 years or every 10,000 operations.
Although no maintenance is performed on poles, a diagnosis is possible:
b contact wear can be checked by external pole measurement
b SF6 pressure can be continually monitored by a pressure switch.
Environmentally-friendly
Schneider Electric devices have been designed to ensure protection of
the environment:
b the materials used, both insulating and conductive, are identified and easy
to separate and recycle
b the SF6 gas is under control from production through to the circuit breakers end
of life. In particular it can be recovered at the end of the circuit breakers life and
re-used after treatment in line with the new European directive
b an end of life manual for the product details procedures for dismantling and
recycling components.

Depending on the model, the unit provides protection against phase over-currents
and earthing faults.
VIP protection units are associated with functional current sensors.
Two interchangeable sensors, CSa and CSb, are sufficient to cover all requirements
from 10 to 1250 A.
SFset is delivered equipped and cabled with its protection chain, this simplifies panel
builders installation work.

Applications
SF circuit breakers are 3-pole MV circuit breakers for indoor installation.
They are mainly used for switching and protection of networks from 12 to 36 kV
in primary and secondary power distribution.
Because the SFset protection chain is autonomous in terms of power, this circuit
breaker is particularly suited to certain dispersed installations on the network.
The autocompression breaking technique used in these circuit breakers means that
making or breaking all types of compacitive or inductive currents can be achieved
without dangerous overvoltages for the switchgear connected to the network.
The SF circuit breaker is therefore well suited to operating capacitor banks.

This release unit causes the systematic opening of the circuit breaker when its
supply voltage drops below a value less than 35% of the rated voltage, even if this
drop is slow and gradual. It can open the circuit breaker between 35% and 70% of
its rated voltage. If the release unit is not supplied power, manual or electrical closing
of the circuit breaker is impossible. Closing of the circuit breaker is compulsory when
the supply voltage of the release unit reaches 85% of its rated voltage.

In order to know the final number of available contacts, you must deduct the total
number of contacts included in the circuit breaker (5 NC + 5 NO + 1 CHG),
the number of contacts used given in the table above.
E.g.: a circuit breaker equipped with a remote control and a shunt trip unit has
the following available contacts:
5 NC + 4 NO + 1 CHG.
With a undervoltage release instead of the shunt trip, this circuit breaker would have
the following available contacts:
5 NC + 5 NO + 1 CHG.

Device description
The basic withdrawable version of the SF circuit breaker comprises:
b the circuit breaker unit with its control mechanism:
v 3 main independent poles, that are mechanically linked and each comprising
a sealed pressure system type insulating enclosure. The sealed enclosure is filled
with low pressure SF6 gas
v a GMH stored energy electrical operating mechanism
This gives the device an closing and opening speed that is independent
of the operator, whether the control order is electrical or manual.
When remotely controlled, the circuit breaker allows reclosing cycles
to be performed
v a front face with status indicators
b racking components:
v the circuit breaker is equipped with racking arms and clusters. It is mounted
on a racking/unracking unit with a threaded shaft actuated by a crank which includes
all of the safety interlocking systems
v a Harting type male LV connector for external auxiliary circuits.
The SF circuit breaker is only available with front controls.
Each device can be fitted with the following options:
b position locking of the circuit breaker:
v open, by a keylock installed on the control panel
v racked out, by a keylock installed on the racking device
b the M1 and M2 basic cassettes comprising:
v a metal structure and one guide rail
v fixed connector fingers insulated by bushings
v metal insulating shutters for the MV part
v safety interlocking systems
v Harting type female LV connector
v indicator contacts for circuit breaker racked-in or racked-out positions
(4 NO + 4NC)
v a circuit breaker control mechanism spring discharge system
v a circuit breaker racking-in blocking mechanism
v an equipped door
v a foolproofing system for the circuit breaker rating
b M1 et M2 cassettes (optional):
v a VPIS kit (voltage indicator).
Applications
SF circuit breakers are 3-pole MV circuit breakers for indoor installation.
They are mainly used for switching and protection of networks from 24 to 40.5 kV
in primary and secondary power distribution.
The autocompression breaking technique used in these circuit breakers means that
making or breaking all types of compacitive or inductive currents can be achieved
without dangerous overvoltages for the switchgear connected to the network.
The SF circuit breaker is therefore well suited to operating capacitor banks.

Description of functions
Racking-in
DE57396
Overall composition
The racking-in/racking-out function is achieved by:
b the SF F400 withdrawable circuit breaker with its LV connector (moving part)
b the M1 or M2 cassettes with their bushings (fixed part).
A racking system with a threaded shaft makes it easier to rack-in and rack-out.
Test position contact
This is activated when the circuit breaker is in the test or service positions.
Earthing is achieved throughout the operation through the racking carriage wheels.
