Introduction
The type 3AH35-SE vacuum circuit-breaker
operator is intended for stationary
applications, such as the type SDV7-SE
outdoor distribution circuit breaker. The type
3AH35-SE circuit breaker conforms to the
requirements of ANSI/IEEE standards,
including C37.04, C37.06, C37.09 and
C37.010.
The circuit breaker includes three vacuum
interrupters, a stored-energy operating
mechanism, necessary electrical controls and
an operator housing. In a typical installation,
insulating barriers may be located between
the vacuum interrupters.
This section describes the operation of each
major subassembly as an aid in the operation,
maintenance and repair of the circuit breaker.
Vacuum interrupters
The operating principle of the vacuum
interrupter is simple. Figure 3: Vacuum
interrupter cutaway view on page 9 is a
section view of a typical vacuum interrupter.
The entire assembly is sealed after a vacuum
is established. The vacuum interrupter
stationary contact is connected to the fixed-
end pole head of the circuit breaker. The
vacuum interrupter movable contact is
connected to the flexible shunt associated
with the other pole head and to the driving
mechanism of the circuit breaker. The metal
bellows provide a secure seal around the
movable contact, preventing loss of vacuum
while permitting motion of the movable
contact along the axis of the vacuum
interrupter.
When the two contacts separate, an arc is
initiated that continues conduction up to the
following current zero. At current zero, the
arc extinguishes and any conductive metal
vapor that has been created by and supported
the arc condenses on the contacts and on the
surrounding arc shield.
Contact materials and configuration are
optimized to achieve arc motion and to
minimize switching disturbances.
