  • Page 14 2.0 DESIGN The circuit breaker type OVB-SDB is a three pole vacuum circuit breaker and designed in a column type construction with either “spring stored energy operating mechanism” or “Magnetic Actuator mechanism”, mounted beneath the middle part. It consists of, (Refer Fig.2 &...
  • Page 15 Closing operation Spring operated mechanism To close the circuit breaker the “ CLOSE" control element is actuated either electrically through the closing magnet or mechanically through push button arrangement. This enables the, spring stored energy mechanism to release the spring energy, through the linkage system, which rotate the common shaft. The rotation of the common shaft moves the moving contact of all the poles upward through the operating stud, closing the circuit breaker.
  • Page 16 4.0 ERECTION 4.1 General As supplied from ABB Ltd., Nasik the circuit breaker are complete in all respect with all the necessary settings for smooth and trouble free operations of the circuit breaker. All the moving parts of the circuit breaker are positioned correctly and coupled together and they are well secured with the fasteners.
  • Page 17 4.7 High voltage connection The high voltage connection fasteners shall be preferable of M12 size stainless steel bolts/galvanized bolt and nut and at least one washer and 1 spring washer. Terminal connectors (Aa - Fig.2 & 3, page no51 & 52) should be properly cleaned using stainless steel wire brush to remove the aluminum oxide film and conducting grease to be applied.
  • Page 18 5.0 COMMISSIONING 5.1 General checks All necessary settings and adjustments have been made and the units have been fully tested both electrically and mechanically before dispatch at the factory. Hence, normally no setting and adjustment are required at the site. 5.2 Wiring Unit wiring is identified by numbered ferrules.
  • Page 19 5.5 Checking the soundness of vacuums interrupters Before putting the breaker in service or if any interrupter is suspected for leakage, then the interrupter shall be checked for satisfactory level of vacuum by applying a high voltage of 22 kV across the open gap of the interrupter for a period of 1 minute. Care should be taken to ensure that the external sequential isolators are opened prior to high voltage application.
  • Page 20 After the interruption by OPEN command the circuit breaker should not re-close in spite of the CLOSE command still being present. Note: The ESH operating mechanism on OVB-SDB circuit breaker is fitted with a mechanical anti- pumping device, which prevents re-closing due to either electrical or mechanical commands. 5.12 Check of heaters: Measure the resistance or apply voltage and measure the current, when the thermostat controlled additional heater is installed, check the adjustment of thermostat.
  • Page 21: Maintenance

    6.0 MAINTENANCE 6.1 Caution Before carrying out any maintenance work ensure that, The circuit- breaker is opened and the external sequential isolators are opened and the unit is properly earthed. The closing spring is discharged. 6.2 General During normal service the circuit breaker require only limited maintenance. The frequency and the sort of inspection and maintenance basically depend on the service conditions.

  • Page 29 The spring charging motor charges the springs after each closing operation until the spring- charged indication appears. Should there be no voltage during charging, the geared motor stops, and starts recharging the springs automatically when the voltage is on again. It is, however, always possible to complete the charging operation manually.
  • Page 30 Fig. H Mechanism in open condition & both the springs in discharged condition Fig. I Mechanism in open condition & closing springs is charged If close command is initiated now, it will rotate half shaft (Ref Fig. J). Rotation of half shaft will release closing lever and hence charging gear.

  • Page 37 In the similar manner, if the lower coil 3B is energized. The magnetic flux in the lower part will be increased and the armature 5 will be moved to the lower position, which corresponds to the lower end position of the actuator. The energizing current to the coils is supplied from a capacitor unit, which is charged by an electronic unit.
  • Page 38 3.0 BREAKER POLE 3.1 General The 12/15 kV Outdoor Circuit Breaker type OVB-SDB is developed using well-proven vacuum interrupters. Excellent arc quenching and insulating properties of vacuum offer long reliable service. The construction of the pole of this breaker is very simple and has very less number of moving parts, so the operating energy level is very low, thus it requires practically no maintenance.
  • Page 39 3.1 Assembly of the pole (Ref. Fig 4, page no.53) 1. Clean all the components used in the pole. 2. Interrupter Assembly: -Insert the plug for lamellar contact 10203 on the stem of the interrupter. Maintain the distances B and C as shown in fig.4, page no. 53 and tighten the assembly by applying proper torque.
