General description
Suitability
Siemens outdoor vacuum
circuit -breakers are designed to
handle all switching duties that
occur in primary distribution
systems including rapid autoreclosing. The breakers are
extremely reliable in service,
require minimum maintenance
and have a long service life due
to the use of vacuum
interrupters. They can be used
in all kinds of environments by
virtue of their small size and
weight, low vibration operation
and they are unaffected by
temperature or fire risks. Our
VCBs are suitable for stringent
duties as per IEC 62271-100.
Construction
The vacuum interrupter is
mounted in a porcelain
insulator to form an interrupter
assembly. Each such assemblies
along with the bottom
insulators are mounted on a
baseframe which has a
common operating shaft. This
assembly is mounted on a steel
structure, intended to locate the
power terminals at a safe
distance above the ground. The
structure also encloses the
operating mechanism. All the
control and actuating devices
are installed in this mechanism
housing. The circuit-breaker can
be either operated electrically
from a remote control room or
locally by hand or electrically.
The necessary mechanical ON
and OFF indications, spring
charged indication and
operation counter are provided
in the mechanism housing. Also
mounted in the mechanism
housing are the cage clamp
type terminal blocks as per
requirement for control cables.
Operating mechanism box
Operation, accessories
The operating mechanism box

contains the circuit-breaker
operating mechanism with
motor, releases and auxiliary
switches, as well as the
completely wired control
cabinet comprising the
terminals for remote operation,
the auxiliary voltages for
circuit-breaker operation and
the necessary low voltage
supply. At the same time, it
accommodates the control
elements for local operation of
the circuit-breaker
10
Operating mechanism
The well-proven operating
mechanism of indoor vacuum
circuit-breakers 3AG/3AF have
been incorporated in the
outdoor vacuum circuit-breaker.
They are equipped with a motor
spring stored-energy operating
mechanism. The motor can be
operated either by AC or DC
standard supply voltages.
Arc quenching principle

When the contacts separate, the
current to be interrupted
initiates a metal-vapour arc
discharge. Current continues
flowing through the metalvapour plasma until the next
current zero. The arc is then
extinguished and the
conductive metal-vapour
condenses on the metal
surfaces within a few
microseconds. As a result, the
dielectric strength between the
contacts builds up very rapidly.
The contacts are so designed
that the self generated axial
field causes the arc to remain
diffused even at high currents.
This keeps the stress on the
contact surfaces uniform and
any local melting is avoided
when interrupting large
currents.
The use of special Copper
Chromium contacts ensure that
the chopping current is less
than 5A.
Instrument Transformers
On clients requirement the
breakers can be supplied with
an extended structure for
mounting outdoor current and
voltage transformers on the
incoming and outgoing supply
sides, respectively.
3AG and 3AF outdoor vacuum

circuit-breakers consist of the
pole assembly, the operating
mechanism box and a steel
structure to accommodate all
components. In 3AF01/4/5
circuit-breakers, the pole
assemblies are mounted on a
base frame equipped with a
common operating shaft. The
operating shaft is integrated in
the operating mechanism box.
The vacuum switching
technology, proven and fully
developed for more than 30
years, serves as arc-quenching
principle by using vacuum
interrupters.
Accessories
The following accessories can
be provided:
Auxiliary switch
(5 NO+5 NC or 11 NO+11 NC)
Closing solenoid
(AC/DC voltages)
Tripping solenoid
(AC/DC voltages)
Features

Maintenance & Tests

Maintenance
Tests/ Standards
Seismic capacity
Notes
The Siemens outdoor vacuum

circuit-breakers are practically
maintenance-free and need
minimum attention of
operating personnel.
Maintenance is confined to
merely cleaning and lubricating
of the operating mechanism.
Change of vacuum interrupter is
not foreseen throughout the
normal life of a circuit-breaker
in a distribution system.
Necessary mechanical
arrangement is also provided to
check the presence of vacuum
as a precommissioning check.
Siemens outdoor vacuum

circuit- breakers 3AG/3AF have
been fully type tested and
conform to the latest IEC/IS
standards.
The outdoor vacuum circuitbreakers are designed in

accordance with internationally
accepted requirements for
seismic type tests. Specific
confirmations on request.
