gas real pressure information (MPa - psi).
Localization
The densimeter is situated onto the bottom of the pole of the circuit- breaker,
and joined to the gas volume of the circuit- breaker.
Working
The densimeter is fitted with internal contacts. These contacts close success-
ively if the gas’s density diminishes and determine 2 distinct thresholds.
These contacts are wired to the terminal block inside the cubicle and are usu-
ally left at the user’s disposal for the following use :
D
Alarm pressure ” p

” acts as a warning (topping up necessary).
D
Minimum functional pressure for insulation ” p

” must be used either to
lock the circuit- breaker in position or to cause automatic opening. The option
is chosen by the client in keeping with operating requirements.
All the circuit- breaker’s rated performances are guaranteed up to the min-
imum specified ambient temperature and the minimum functional pressure
for insulation ” p

”.
