General description
Introduction
Siemens type SDV7-AR distribution circuit
breaker is precision built equipment designed
to function efficiently under normal operating
conditions. It is designed and manufactured
to operate within the parameters established
in ANSI/IEEE C37 and NEMA standards for
distribution circuit breakers. Performance
requirements of these standards have been
met or exceeded by these designs. Specific
standards which apply include:
ANSI/IEEE C37.04-1999 rating structure
for ac high-voltage circuit breakers
ANSI/IEEE C37.06-2009 preferred ratings
ac high-voltage circuit breakers
ANSI/IEEE C37.09-1999 test procedure for
ac high-voltage circuit breakers
ANSI/IEEE C37.20-7-2007 guide for testing
metal-enclosed switchgear rated up to
38 kV for internal arcing faults
NEMA SG4-2009 ac high-voltage circuit
breakers.
The instructions included in this instruction
manual are provided to aid you in obtaining
longer and more economical service from
your Siemens type SDV7-AR distribution
circuit breaker. For proper installation and
operation, this information should be
distributed to your operators and engineers.
By carefully following these instructions,
difficulties should be avoided. However, these
instructions are not intended to cover all
details of variations that may be encountered
in connection with the installation, operation
and maintenance of this equipment.
Should additional information be desired,
including replacement instruction manuals,
contact your local Siemens representative.
To provide additional personal protection in
the event of an internal arcing fault, this
equipment is also classified as arc-resistant
switchgear and has been qualified to carry a
type 2B accessibility rating per ANSI/IEEE
C37.20.7.
Scope
These instructions cover the installation,
operation and maintenance of a Siemens type
SDV7-AR distribution circuit breaker using
vacuum interrupters. The equipment designs
described in this instruction manual consists
of free-standing outdoor distribution circuit
breakers for application up to 38 kV. A typical
type SDV7-AR distribution circuit breaker is
shown in Figure 1: Typical type SDV7-AR
distribution circuit breaker. All diagrams,
descriptions and instructions apply to all of
the above classes and designs unless noted
otherwise.
Standard construction details of the circuit
breaker enclosure are given in appropriate
sections of this instruction manual.
Standard construction details of the stored-
energy operating mechanism of the circuit
breaker are detailed in the type 3AH35-SE
stored-energy operator instruction manual
E50001-F710-K376-X-XXXX.
