8 Components
8.1 Circuit-breaker
Design The Siemens vacuum circuit-breaker 3AH55 is a three-pole indoor circuit-breaker for
rated voltages from 7.2 kV to 24 kV.
The circuit-breaker consists of the following components:
• Operating mechanism with stored-energy spring mechanism and control elements
• Three circuit-breaker poles with vacuum interrupters
• Partition plate
• Operating rods for contact operation, mounted in the vessel front (partition plate) in a
movable way and without seals by means of welded-in metal bellows.
The operating mechanism box accommodates all electrical and mechanical components
required for closing and opening the circuit-breaker.
3AH55 circuit-breakers need no opening spring, as the contact pressure springs have an
opening effect in this pole version.
The operating mechanism box is closed with a removable cover. The cover contains
openings for the control elements and indicators.
The circuit-breaker is closed by pressing the ON pushbutton. The movement
transmission to the circuit-breaker poles is performed by metal bellows. The motor
recharges the closing spring immediately after.
If the motor supply voltage fails, the closing spring can be charged manually. To do this,
there is an opening in the cover with the hand crank coupling of the gear behind. The
charging condition of the spring can be read on the indicator.
The operations counter shows the number of charging processes.

Description
8.4 Three-position switch-disconnector
Designed as multi-chamber switch incorporating the functions DISCONNECTING and
EARTHING with the switch positions: CLOSED – OPEN – EARTHED
Application:
• Circuit-breaker panel 630 A
• Switch-disconnector panel
• Ring-main panel
• Contactor panel
• Metering panel
In ring-main, contactor, switch-disconnector and metering panels, earthing and short-
circuiting the cable connection is performed by switching the three-position switch-

compression vanes generate a pressure difference between the subchambers. The SF6
gas flows through a nozzle, causes a directional blow-out of the breaking arc and
quenches it rapidly.

Features • HV HRC fuse-links according to DIN 43 625 (main dimensions) with striker in "medium"
version according to IEC 60 282-1
- as short-circuit protection before transformers or motors,
- with selectivity to upstream and downstream connected equipment,
- single-phase insulated
• Requirements according to IEC 62 271-105 fulfilled by combination of HV HRC fuses
with the three-position switch-disconnector
• Thermal striker tripping when the corresponding HV HRC fuse-link is used
• Climate-independent and maintenance-free, with fuse boxes made of cast-resin
• Fuse assembly arranged under the switchgear vessel
• Fuse assembly connected to the three-position switch-disconnector / vacuum
contactor via welded bushings and connecting bars
• Fuses can only be replaced if feeder is earthed
• Option: "Fuse tripped indication" for remote electrical indication with 1NO contact
Mode of operation In the event that a HV HRC fuse-link has responded, the three-position switch-
disconnector is tripped via an articulation which is integrated into the cover of the fuse
box.
In the event that the fuse tripping fails, e.g. if the fault current is less than Imin or if the
fuse has been inserted incorrectly, the fuse box is protected by thermal protection. The
overpressure generated in this way trips the three-position switch-disconnector via a
diaphragm in the cover of the fuse box and via the articulation. The above thermal
protection works independently of the type and design of the HV HRC fuse used. Like
the fuse itself it is maintenance-free and independent of any outside climatic effects.
Schematic sketches forfuse tripping
Furthermore, the specified HV HRC fuses release the striker depending on the
temperature and trip the switch-disconnector as early as in the fuse overload range.
Impermissible heating of the fuse box can be avoided in this way.

Description
8.9 Busbar system
The busbar is single-pole insulated with silicone rubber. Each phase has an earthed layer
on the outside (screened busbar system). This design makes the busbar independent of
climatic effects.
As the busbar system is arranged outside the gas compartment, extension, replacement
or increasing the current carrying capacity by doubling the system is possible within a
very short period of time without requiring any gas work.
To by-pass a removed panel, busbars with double length are available. With these, a
defective panel can be by-passed within a few hours, and switchgear operation can
continue.
8.10 Cable connection
Possible combinations of cable connection types (T-plugs, coupling inserts) and surge arrestersin NXPLUS C up to 24 kV
For gas-insulated switchgear NXPLUS C, basically only cable T-plugs shielded by means
of an external semi-conductive layer (also called screened cable T-plugs) can be used.
This external semi-conductive layer must be earthed. Earthing is normally done through
a cable connection.
Insulated cable T-plugs (without external semi-conductive layer) are not permissible, as
this plug type often produces partial discharges due to the proximity to earthed parts of
the switchgear. Partial discharges destroy the cable T-plug, causing an arc between
phase and earth.
The connection of conventional cable sealing ends via elbow adapters, e.g. type AKE, is
not permissible either, as this connection system is also insulated and not screened (no
external semi-conductive layer).

8.11 Ready-for-service indicator
Fig. 14: Ready-for-service indicator on the front plate
Features • Self-monitoring, easy to read
• Independent of temperature and pressure variations
• Independent of the site altitude
• Only responds to changes in gas density
• Option: Alarm switch 1NO + 1NC for remote electrical indication
• Contactless detection of gas monitoring
Mode of operation
For the ready-for-service indicator, a gas-tight measurement box is installed inside the
switchgear vessel. A coupling magnet transmits the position of the measurement box to
an armature located outside the switchgear vessel. This armature moves the ready-for-
service indicator of the switchgear.
Thermal variations of the gas pressure are compensated, as the gas available in the
measurement box and in the vessel expands in the same way when it gets warm. A
change of the gas density in the switchgear vessel caused by a leak is indicated due to
the pressure difference between the switchgear vessel and the measurement box. The
gas density is decisive for the insulating capacity.

8.12 Interlocks
• The three-position switch is equipped with a mechanical interlock. This interlock
prevents the circuit-breaker from being closed while the three-position switch is being
operated. Furthermore the mechanical interlock prevents the three-position switch
from being operated while the circuit-breaker is closed.
• The switching gate prevents switching straight from CLOSED to READY-TO-EARTH or
from READY-TO-EARTH to CLOSED, as the operating lever must be re-inserted in the
OPEN position.
• The control gate of the switching gate of the three-position switch can be padlocked in
all three switch positions. Control gate lever on the left: the three-position (switch-
)disconnector can be operated, in the center: switching operations are not possible,
on the right: ready-to-earth/earthing is possible.
• Interlocking between feeder locking device and three-position disconnector (circuit-
breaker only lockable in earthed position)
• Interlocking between feeder locking device, three-position disconnector and cable
compartment cover (circuit-breaker only lockable in earthed position, cable
compartment cover only removable in earthed position)
• To access the fuse-links, the cable compartment cover must be removed. It can only
be removed when the associated feeder is earthed and the bolted joints are removed.
• To do this, lift the interlocking lever a and remove the cable compartment cover s.

was combined with HV HRC fuse-links and tested in accordance with IEC 62 271-105.
The following fuse protection tables show HV HRC fuse-links recommended for the
protection of transformers, motors and voltage transformers in the metering panel.
Furthermore, the switchgear also permits fuse protection of transformers up to ratings
of 2000 kVA. Please contact us for such applications.
The fuse protection tables apply to:
• Maximum ambient air temperature in the switchgear room of 40 °C according to IEC
62 271-1/VDE 0670-1000 considering the influence of the switchgear enclosure
• Requirements according to IEC 62 271-105
• Protection of distribution transformers according to IEC 60 787/VDE 0670-402
• Rated power of transformer (no overload operation)
The specified HV HRC fuses make SIBA are type-tested partial range fuses according to
IEC 60 282-1. The dimensions correspond to DIN 43625. The HV HRC fuses have a
thermal protection in form of a temperature-limiting striker tripping operating in case of
defective HV HRC fuse-links or high overload currents.
Please contact us if you want to use HV HRC fuses from other manufacturers.

Break time The interval of time between the initiation (command) of the opening operation and the
instant of final arc extinction in the last-pole-to-clear (=opening time and arcing time).
Close-open contact time The interval of time - in a make-break operating cycle - between the instant when the
contacts touch in the first pole in the closing process, and the instant when the contacts
separate in all poles in the subsequent opening process.
Motor operatingmechanism
The operating mechanisms of the 3AH55 vacuum circuit-breakers are suitable for auto-
reclosing. For DC operation, the maximum power consumption is approx. 350 W. For AC
operation, the maximum power consumption is approx. 400 VA.
Rated operating sequences:
Rapid transfer (U): O-t-CO-t'-CO (t, t'= 3 min)
Auto-reclosing (K): O-t-CO-t'-CO (t= 0.3 s, t'= 3 min)
Multiple auto-reclosing: O-t-CO-t'-CO-t'-CO-t'-CO (t= 0.3 s, t'= 15 s)
The rated current of the motor protection equipment is shown in the following table:
The supply voltage may deviate from the rated supply voltage specified in the table by -
15% to +10%.

Closing solenoid (Y9) The closing solenoid 3AY1510 closes the circuit-breaker. After completion of a closing
operation, the closing solenoid is de-energized internally. It is available for AC or DC
voltage. Power consumption: 140 W or 140 VA.
Shunt releases 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.
Undervoltage release Untervoltage releases (Y7) 3AX1103 are tripped automatically through an
electromagnet or deliberately. The deliberate tripping of the undervoltage release
generally takes place via an NC contact in the tripping circuit or via an NO contact by
short-circuiting the magnet coil. With this type of tripping, the short-circuit current is
limited by the built-in resistors. Power consumption: 20 W or 20 VA.
Circuit-breaker trippingsignal
When the circuit-breaker is tripped by a release (e.g. by protection tripping) there is a
signal through the NO contact -S6. If the circuit-breaker is tripped deliberately with the
mechanical pushbutton, this signal is suppressed by the NC contact -S7.
C.t-operated releases (Y4,Y6)
The following c.t.-operated releases are available:
• The c.t.-operated release (Y4) 3AX1102 consists of an energy store, an unlatching
mechanism and an electromagnetic system. Rated tripping current 0.5 A/1 A
• The c.t.-operated release (Y6) 3AX1104 (low-energy release) is adequate for a tripping
pulse of ≤ 0.1 Ws in connection with adequate protection systems. It is used if
auxiliary voltage is missing, tripping via protection relay.
Varistor module
The inductances of the circuit-breaker operating mechanism and the circuit-breaker
control system (motor, closing solenoid, shunt release and auxiliary contactor) are
equipped with the varistor module 3AX1526 for DC operation. The module limits the
overvoltage to approx. 500 V and is available for rated operating voltages from 60 V (DC)
up to 220 V (DC). It contains two separate varistor circuits.
ATTENTION!
Switching overvoltages can damage electronic control devices.
Do not switch off inductive consumers in DC circuits.

802-9081.9 * INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS NXPLUSC * Revision 02 91
Installation
Switchgear storage inclosed rooms
As a rule, the switchgear should be stored in a closed room. The storage room must
have the following characteristics:
• Floor with adequate load-bearing capacity (weights as per delivery note)
• Even floor to enable stable storage.
• Well-ventilated and free of dust
• Dry and protected against humidity and vermin (e.g. insects, mice, rats)
• Heatable to at least 2 °C above the outside temperature in order to prevent
condensation.
• Check humidity in the packings every 4 weeks (condensation)
• Do not unpack small parts to avoid corrosion and loss.
Outdoor storage ofswitchgear packed in
seaworthy crates
If the switchgear or parts thereof are delivered in seaworthy crates, these can also be
stored up to 6 months in other rooms or outdoors. The storage place must have the
following characteristics:
• Floor with adequate load-bearing capacity (weights as per delivery note)
• Protected against humidity (rain water, flooding, melting water from snow and ice),
pollution, vermin (rats, mice, termites, etc.) and unauthorized access
• Place all crates on planks and square timber for protection against floor humidity.
• After 6 months of storage, have the desiccant agent regenerated professionally. To do
this, ask for expert personnel via your regional Siemens representative.
12.3 Tools/auxiliary means

• Transport rollers, tubes
12.4 Installation and fixing material
Before starting to install the individual components, provide for the required installation
and fixing material.
12.5 Comments on electromagnetic compatibility
To achieve appropriate electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), some basic requirements
must be observed while erecting the switchgear. This applies especially to the
installation and connection of external cables and wires.
Installation
92 Revision 02 * INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS NXPLUSC * 802-9081.9
Basic measures for ensuring EMC are already taken during design and assembly of the
switchgear panels. Among other things, these measures include:
• the low-voltage compartment is an integral part of the panel, which means that the
protection and control devices with the internal wiring are metal-enclosed;
• reliable earth connections of the frame parts via toothed contact washers or locking
washers;
• inside the panel, wires are laid in metal ducts;
• spatial separation of sensitive signal wires from wires with high interference voltage
levels;
• limitation of switching overvoltages of inductive loads (e.g. relay or contactor coils,
motors) by means of protective circuits with diode, varistor or RC element;
• within the LV compartment, the secondary devices are mounted in defined zones;
• shortest possible connection between corresponding modules in subracks;
• consideration of the magnetic leakage fields of conductor bars and cables;
• protection of subracks and wiring backplanes against interference by perforated
shielding plates;
• large surface bonding between all modules and devices as well as bonding to the
earthing conductor of the switchgear assembly.
These measures basically enable proper operation of the switchgear itself. The planner
or operator of the switchgear must decide whether additional measures are required
depending on the electromagnetic environment where the switchgear is installed. Such
measures must be implemented by the installation company in charge.
In an environment with heavy electromagnetic interference it may be necessary to use
shielded cables and wires for the external connections in order to avoid interferences in
the low-voltage compartment and thus, undesired influences on the electronic
protection and control or other automation devices.
Cable shields must be electrically bonded to be able to carry high frequencies, and
contacted concentrically at the cable ends.
The shields of cables and wires are connected and earthed in the low-voltage
compartment.
Connect the shields to earth potential - with high electrical conductivity and all around as
far as possible. Protect the contact surfaces from corrosion in case of humidity (regular
condensation).
When laying cables into the switchgear assembly, separate the control, signaling and
data cables and other lines with different signal and voltage levels by laying them on
separate racks or riser cable routes.
Corresponding to the different shield designs, there is a number of methods to perform
connection. The planning department or site management determines which of the
methods will be used, taking EMC requirements into account. The preceding points
should always be taken into account.
The shield is connected to cables or wires with clamps contacting all around. If low
demands are placed on EMC, it is also possible to connect the shield directly to earth
potential (combine or twist the shield wires) or via short cable connections. Use cable
lugs or wire-end ferrules at the connecting points.
Always keep the connecting leads of the shields as short as possible (< 10 cm).
If shields are used as protective earth conductors at the same time, the connected
plastic-insulated lead must be marked green/yellow over its entire length. Non-insulated
connections are inadmissible.

Installing the transportunits
You may only start installing the transport units when
• all transport damages have been repaired
• the base frame has been levelled (1 mm/m), see DIN 43661
• the SF6 gas filling in the vessels has been checked (see Page 97, "Checking the ready-
for-service indicator").
• the accessories and the required material are complete (see Page 89, "Before
installation").
Place the first (i.e. rearmost) transport unit as exactly as possible on its final location
and place the second one close to it, keeping a small distance so that the units can
still be aligned before bolting together.
Remove packing and transport materials from the place of installation.
Remove any dirt occurred during transport, as extreme cleanliness is required during
installation.
r Now the transport units are in the correct order for assembly.
ATTENTION!

The panels are filled at a pressure of 1500 hPa. Before starting installation, check the
ready-for-service indicator. It is located on the left side of the control board.
Read the ready-for-service indicator.
r If the pointer is in the green area, the gas filling is in order.
If the pointer is in the red area: Check the auxiliary switch of the ready-for-service
indicator.
Checking the auxiliaryswitch of the ready-for-
service indicator
The auxiliary switch of the ready-for-service indicator can latch tight in the red area due to
extreme shocks during transport.
To put the ready-for-service indicator into operation again, the plastic part fixed at the
auxiliary switch must be brought to the initial position again by hand.
Remove the front plate of the switchgear. Push the plastic part at the auxiliary switch
downwards with the index finger until the ready-for-service indicator jumps back to
the green area. When pushing the plastic part at the auxiliary switch down from the
latched position, you must overcome a mechanical resistance.

14 Assembling the switchgear
In the instructions given in the following sections it is assumed that a new switchgear is
being installed which has not yet been connected to the mains, and that it is therefore
not live.
14.1 Bolting panels together
Aligning panels The first panel is on its mounting position and the others are placed at a small distance.
Align the first panel laterally.
If necessary, lay shim plates under the panels to align them in vertical and horizontal
position.
Carefully approach the next panel to the one that has already been aligned.
Align the approached panel by means of the alignment brackets provided at the
vessel, and make sure that it is vertical and at the necessary height using shim
plates, if required.
Not mounting the sealingstrip in case of wall-
standing arrangement
ATTENTION!
Dirt in the switchgear can cause malfunctions during operation.
Avoid any work that could pollute the switchgear (e.g. sawing, filing, etc.).
NOTE!
For easier fitting of the panel connecting bolts, pre-assembled low-voltage
compartments should be removed before interconnecting the panels. Low-voltage
compartments on end panels may remain mounted.
Remove pre-assembled low-voltage compartments.
ATTENTION!
To take individual panels out of the switchgear assembly, please observe the following
for panels that had been provided for free-standing arrangement, but are now installed
in wall-standing arrangement:
Do not mount the sealing strip.
Installation

Installation
Insert the panel connecting bolts M8x20 through the switchgear frame at the four
fixing straps of the right-side panel (view to the front of the panel) and bolt together
with the left-side panel.
Check if the panels bolted together are in vertical position.
Approach all other panels one after the other, align them and bolt the alignment
brackets and the frames together.
14.2 Fastening the switchgear to the foundation
The panels are bolted to the foundation rails.
The base pieces of the panel frames contain cutouts for fastening the switchgear.
Fasten each panel diagonally to the foundation at two points at least. Use two fixing
bolts M8 or M10 as a minimum. Tightening torque: 60 Nm.
For aseismic fastening, connect each panel diagonally to the foundation at 4 points at
least. Before doing that, lay the necessary floor bracings into the panel (see Page 74,
"Floor openings and fixing points"). To do this, use 4 fixing bolts M8 or M10.
Tightening torque: 60 Nm.
ATTENTION!
After removal, the covers of the cable compartment and the operating mechanism
must be refitted on the same panels.
After removal, identify all covers with the associated panel numbers.

Installation
The busbars are always delivered separately with the accessories. To simplify busbar
installation, we recommend not to mount the low-voltage compartments before the
busbars are assembled. If busbar current transformers have already been pre-assembled
(for 1250 A busbar system), these must be removed again. Current transformers in oval
design for the twin busbar system can remain mounted.
Do not unpack cross adapters, end adapters and busbars until right before assembly.
Before assembling the busbars, all frames must have been bolted together (see Page
99, "Bolting panels together").

26 Cable testing
Preconditions Before testing the cables, the switch positions must be as follows:
• Circuit-breaker in OPEN position,
• three-position switch in OPEN position and
• voltage transformer disconnector (option) in EARTHED position.
The following table contains the maximum values for the DC test voltage:
Feeder earthing (see Page 166, "Earthing/ready-to-earth with the three-position
switch").
Secure against reclosing.
Verify safe isolation from supply (see Page 174, "Verification of safe isolation from
supply").
Undo the fixing bolts of the cable compartment cover.
Remove the cable compartment cover.
Open the voltage transformer disconnector (see Page 179, "Opening the voltage
transformer disconnector").
Rated voltage of the switchgear
[ kV]
DC test voltage, maximum value
[kV]
AC test voltage 0.1 Hz, maxi-
mum value [kV]
12 48 19
24 56 * 38
* Maximum value of test voltage for panels without HV HRC fuses: 70 kV
DANGER!
If the voltage transformer disconnector is closed, the test voltage can destroy the
voltage transformer and cause personal injuries.
Switch the voltage transformer disconnector to EARTHED position before testing
the cables and secure it (see Page 179, "Opening the voltage transformer
disconnector").
DANGER!
If DC voltage is applied to the cable and there are incoming overvoltages on the busbar,
there is risk of flashovers.
Keep safety distances.
Install barriers.
Switch on warnings.
ATTENTION!
The voltage indicators CAPDIS-S1+ and CAPDIS-S2+, LRM, VOIS+ and VOIS R+ may
be damaged at test voltages > 15 kV and frequencies < 16 2/3 Hz.
Short-circuit voltage indicators with the earthing points of the test sockets.
Operation
232 Revision 02 * INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS NXPLUSC * 802-9081.9
Remove the stopper of the connected cable T-plug according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
Insert / screw the test adapter in the cable T-plug.
Connect test lead.
Short-circuit and earth the capacitive test sockets at the LRM or CAPDIS system.
De-earth the feeder (see Page 167, "De-earthing with the three-position switch").
Perform voltage test.
Proceed in reverse order to return to the initial situation.

27 Maintenance
27.1 Maintenance
Under normal operating conditions, the fixed-mounted circuit-breaker switchgear
NXPLUS C, the vacuum-cuircuit breaker 3AH55 and the vacuum contactor 3TL7 are
maintenance-free. The switchgear vessel is designed as a "sealed pressure system"
according to IEC 62 271-200 , i.e. maintenance of the insulation filling is not required.
Replacement ofcomponents
Due to the fact that all parts of this switchgear type have been optimized to last the
normal service life, it is not possible to recommend particular spare parts.
Special operatingconditions
If the switchgear is used in abnormally unfavorable indoor conditions beyond the normal
operating conditions (e.g. frequent heavy condensation, dust-ridden air, etc.) we
recommend to clean the external parts of the vacuum circuit-breaker and, if necessary,
to renew the anti-corrosion protection greasing at regular intervals. To do this, you may
only use the materials specified hereafter on the individual functional parts of the circuit-
breaker.
Permissible cleaning agents/lubricants:
• For bearings, sliding surfaces: Isoflex Topas L 32, Klüber - Lubrication KG,
Geisenhauer Str. 7, Postfach 70 10 47, D-81310 München
• For bearings that are inaccessible for grease, and bearings of the auxiliary
switch S1: Tellus Oil 32, Shell Direct GmbH, Suhrenkamp 71, D-22335 Hamburg
Clean the external parts of the circuit-breaker at regular intervals.
Renew the anti-corrosion protection greasing.
Operate the circuit-breaker several times mechanically by hand for test.
27.2 Switchgear extension and replacement of panels and components
The individual components, such as measuring instruments, current transformers, etc.
can be replaced. For switchgear extension and replacement of components, please
contact the regional Siemens representative. Due to the busbar concept, switchgear
extension or panel replacement is possible without gas work.
Information required for spare part orders of single components and devices:
• Type and serial number of the switchgear and the circuit-breaker (see rating plates)
• Precise designation of the device or component, if applicable on the basis of the
information and illustrations in the associated instructions, a drawing, sketch or circuit
diagram
ATTENTION!
Parts of the switchgear that cannot be dismantled may be damaged if they come into
contact with cleaning agents.
Do not wash joints and bearings which cannot be dismantled with a cleaning agent.
