MEDIUM VOLTAGE PRODUCTS 3

This publication contains the information required

for installing and putting the following medium

voltage circuit breakers into service: HD4/R, HD4/

RE, HD4/R-SEC, HD4/RE-SEC.

Please read the manual carefully to ensure that the

product is used correctly.

Refer to the relative instructions in order to

assemble the accessories and/or spare parts

correctly.

Similarly to all the apparatus we manufacture, the

HD4/R, HD4/RE, HD4/R-SEC, HD4/RE-SEC circuit

breakers are also designed for different

installation configurations.

However, these devices can be subjected to

further technicalconstruction modifications (at

the customer’s request) so as to adapt them to

special installation requirements.

Consequently, the manual may not contain

instructions concerning special customized

configurations.

—

I. Introduction

Besides this manual, it is therefore always

necessary to consult the latest technical

documentation (electric circuit and wiring

diagrams, assembly and installation drawings, any

protection coordination studies, etc.), especially

regarding any variants requested in relation to the

standard configurations.

Only use original spare parts for maintenance

operations.

Please also consult the technical catalogue of the

circuit breaker and the spare parts catalogue for

further details.

All the installation, putting into service,

running and maintenance operations must

be carried out by suitably qualified

personnel with in-depth knowledge of the

apparatus.

1. Packing and transport

The circuit breaker is shipped in special packing in

the open position, with the springs discharged

and with the absolute pressure of the pole

corresponding to the service value.

Each piece of apparatus is protected by a plastic

cover to prevent water from infiltrating during the

loading and unloading stages and to keep the

dust off during storage.

Handling and transport must only be carried out

by expert and properly trained personnel.

Do not remove or alter the switch identification

contents and labels.

Switches subject to UN3164 standards for

transportation by air and / or sea.

2. Inspection on arrival

As soon as it arrives, check the condition of the

apparatus, that the packing is undamaged and that

the nameplate data (see fig. 1) correspond to the

information in the order confirmation sent by ABB

and in the shipping note.

Also make sure that the supply includes all the

materials described in the shipping note and the

lever for loading the springs of the operating

mechanism in the manual mode.

Should any damage or irregularity be noted in the

supply on unpacking, notify ABB (directly or

through the agent or supplier) as soon as possible

Before proceeding with any operation,

always make sure that the springs of the

operating mechanism are discharged and

that the apparatus is in the open position.

Figure 1

specified at the time of ordering and validated in

the order confirmation sent by ABB.

The following documents accompany the

apparatus when it is shipped:

 Instruction manual (this document)

 Test certificate

 Identification label

3. Storage

When the apparatus must be stored for a certain

period of time, our workshops can (on request)

provide suitable packing for the specified storage

conditions.

On arrival, the apparatus must be carefully

unpacked and checked as described in the

Checking on arrival section (chap. 2).

If the apparatus cannot be installed immediately, it

must be repacked in the original packing materials.

Insert at least one standard packet of special

hygroscopic substance per piece of apparatus

inside the packing.

Should the original packing no longer be available

and the apparatus cannot be installed immediately,

it should be stored indoors in a well-ventilated, dry,

dust-free, noncorrosive environment, well away

from any easily flammable materials and at a

temperature between -5 °C and +45 °C.

Avoid any accidental impact or positions which

stress the structure of the apparatus.

4. Handling

Before proceeding with any operation, always

make sure that the springs of the operating

mechanism spring are discharged and that the

apparatus is in the open position.

When handling the apparatus, take great care to

prevent the insulating parts and the terminals of

the circuit breaker from being stressed.

The apparatus must not be handled by

inserting lifting devices directly under the

apparatus itself. If this technique is

unavoidable, place the circuit breaker on a

pallet or a sturdy supporting surface.

5. Description

5.1 General information

HD4/R circuit breakers made with the separate

pole construction technique. They are sulphur

hexafluoride insulated for indoor installation and

are life-long sealed pressure devices (Standards

IEC 62271-100 and CEI-EN 62271-100).

Refer to the technical catalogue for the electrical

performance.

The following versions are available:

 Fixed, with rh lateral operating mechanism (up

to 36 kV)

 Plug-in, for UniSec switchgear.

Depending on the version (excluding 36 kV), they

can be equipped on request with two or three

current sensors and with a REF601 series device

for protection against overcurrents (only REF601

for HD4/R-SEC, HD4/RE-SEC).

The three poles, the operating mechanism and any

optional accessories used are assembled on a

sturdy bearing frame.

The metal frame is equipped with wheels for 36 kV

circuit breakers and for circuit breakers for

UniSecswitchgear.

Each pole consists of an epoxy resin enclosure

which houses all the active parts, the kinematism

of the moving contacts, the medium voltage

terminals and the arcing chambers, immersed

in SF6 gas.

5.3 Operating mechanism

5.3.1 Operating mechanism for HD4/R series

circuit breakers

The ESH operating mechanism with energy stored

by means of preloaded springs is used for fixed or

plu-in HD4/R circuit breakers.

The closing springs of the ESN operating

mechanism are loaded in the manual mode using

the special removable lever.

The opening springs are automatically reloaded

during the closing operation.

If a gearmotor is installed, the closing springs are

automatically loaded after each closing operation.

The shunt closing, shunt opening and

undervoltage releases allow the operations to be

carried out in the remote mode.

5.3.2 Operating mechanism for HD4/RE series

circuit breakers

The EL operating mechanism with energy stored

by means of preloaded springs is used for fixed or

plu-in HD4/RE circuit breakers.

The closing springs of the EL operating

mechanism are loaded in the manual mode using

the special lever.

The opening springs are automatically reloaded

during the closing operation.

If a gearmotor is installed, the closing springs are

automatically loaded after each closing operation.

The shunt closing, shunt opening and

undervoltage releases allow the operations to be

carried out in the remote mode.

5. Description

5.4 Fixed circuit breakers

The fixed circuit breaker (fig. 7) is the basic

version, previously described in sect. 5.2. There

are two drilled supports in the lower part of the

structure to allow the circuit breaker to be

fixed.

The terminal box (7) is available for the electrical

connections of the circuit breaker’s auxiliary

circuits, in the front protection.

The earthing screw is located at the side of the

circuit breaker.

5.5 Withdrawable circuit breakers

The withdrawable circuit breakers are available for

UniSec switchgears. They are essentially derived

from a fixed circuit breaker to which the wheels,

the disconnecting contacts and the locking lever

are applied. The HD4/R-Sec and HD4/RE-Sec

circuit breakers are used in UniSec switchgears.

The circuit breakers can only be extracted in safe

conditions with open isolation switches open and

earth switches closed. To facilitate the extraction

of the circuit breaker, a special extraction truck is

available.

5.6 Gas pressure monitoring

device (on request)

The device for signalling the state of the SF6 gas

is supplied on request and always has two

intervention thresholds (low pressure

and insufficient pressure).

The following configurations can be obtained:

1) with contacts for remote signalling (normal,

low and insufficient pressure);

2) as in point 1, plus a lock on circuit breaker

closure and a choice between automatic

opening or lock on opening;

3) as in point 2 plus three lamps for local

signalling of the state of the gas.
