  • Page 9: Standards And Regulations

    The eVM1/P type vacuum circuit-breakers are designed for indoor installation in air-insulated switchgear. In respect of the technical characteristics, eVM1/P circuit-breakers are suitable for operation of electric circuits under normal and fault service conditions. The vacuum circuit-breakers have particular advantages when used in systems with a high fre- quency of operations and/or which lead to a certain number of short-circuit trips.

  • Page 10: Service Conditions

    To avoid the risk of corrosion or other damage in areas with a high level of humidity, and/or rapid and large temperature variations, take appropriate steps (for example, by using suitable electric heaters) to prevent condensation phenomena. For special installation requirements or other operating conditions, please contact ABB.

  • Page 11: Drive Structure

    6. Structure 6.1. Drive structure The drive is of the magnetic type and basically consists of the magnetic actuator (8) (fig. 4), the control module (10), the current sensors (3), the capacitor/s (2) and the kinematics which transmit the movement to the circuit-breaker poles. The actuator (8) acts on the circuit-breaker poles by means of special kinematics.
  • Page 12 6.1.2. Capacitor The energy for operating the circuit-breaker is stored in one or two capacitors according to the circuit-breaker model (fig. 5). The capacitors are designed so that the energy for an O-C-O operating cycle is supplied without the need for recharging. The energy stored by the capacitor is constantly monitored by means of measuring the relevant voltage.
  • Page 13 6.2. Structure of the circuit-breaker poles The poles are installed in the rear part of the circuit-breaker frame (fig. 7). The active parts of the poles (vacuum interrupters) are embedded in epoxy resin and protected against shocks and other external agents. With the circuit-breaker closed, the current flows from the top terminal (1) to the fixed contact (1a) in the vacuum interrupter (4), and then through the moving contact (2a) and the flexible connector (6) as far as the bottom terminal of the circuit-breaker (2).
  • Page 14 7. Operation 7.1. Operation of the circuit-breaker drive 7.1.1. Magnetic actuator The magnetic actuator used in the eVM1 circuit-breakers generates the run required to operate the moving contacts of the interrupters and integrates all the functions of a traditional operating mechanism.
  • Page 15 The capacitors which allow circuit-breaker operation, for a maximum time of about 30 seconds (with closed circuit-breaker), even in the case of a drop in the auxiliary voltage, are provided in the control circuit. In case of emergency, the circuit-breaker can in any case be opened by means of a special crank handle which acts directly on the moving armature of the drive.
  • Page 16 • Undervoltage function: controls circuit-breaker opening if the applied voltage drops below the tolerance limit (established by the Standards). To prevent the function intervening when the voltage drops below the specified level (e.g. in the case of motor starting), it is possible to set a trip time. The undervoltage function is normally disabled.

Fig. 45 14.6.1 Logical interface of protection functions The input/output signals described below are logical quantities inside the Circuit-breaker controller. They are not generally available one by one at the breaker interface and can be made available as a digital input/output through the logic configuration and input/output mapping (see chapter: Input / Output Mapping).

  • Page 67: Definite Time Overcurrent Protection

    After the protection has entered the start status and the preset operating time (Time) has elapsed, the function goes into TRIP status and the trip signal is generated. The protection function will exit the TRIP status and the trip signal will be cleared when the measured current value falls below 0.4 of the set threshold value or when the block input becomes active.

The protection function will remain in START status until there is at least one phase started. It will return to passive status and the start signal will be cleared if the current falls below 95% of the setting threshold value for all the phases.

  • Page 83 14.7.3.3 Motor Start Protection A motor start can be critical if the load duration or the current increases. The motor start behaviour depends on the switching torque of the specific machine load. In general, these overloads are more critical for the rotor (rotor-critical motor) than the stator. The manufacturer assigns an allowable current-time start integral I t for motors.

    14.7.3.4 Number of Starts A protection function supervises the number of starts of all the available protection functions. It is particularly significant for motors where it is also important to distinguish between cold starts and warm starts, the allowable number of which is generally provided by the motor manufacturer. Motor temperature estimated by the Thermal Overload protection is used to determine whether a start is cold or warm.

  • Page 87 14.7.3.5 Unbalanced Load or Negative Sequence Protection The protection against unbalanced load due to negative phase sequence (NPS below) of the current is necessary in electrical rotating machines. Because the NPS current has a rotation direction opposite to the positive phase sequence, thermal overheating of the rotor can occur. The NPS current will namely induce in the rotor currents with double frequency, which can produce large thermal loss in the iron core of the rotor.
  • Page 88 14.7.3.5.1 Measurement mode The Unbalanced load protection function evaluates the measured amount of negative phase sequence current at the fundamental frequency. The negative-sequence three phase system L1 - L3 - L2 is superimposed on the three-phase system that corresponds to the standard phase sequence. The NPS current is obtained from the three-phase current set (IR, IS, IT) DFT values at the fundamental frequency.

  • Page 96 14.8 Monitoring The monitoring Tab enables access to the IED to monitor DI/O status, CB currents, start/trip conditions, etc. when an active communication link has been established with the electronic Device (IED). The left column of the Monitoring page provides the same control capabilities (CB Open/Close) and status LEDs available on the local CB HMI.
  • Page 97 14.8.2 Digital Output Monitoring The 16 available outputs are mapped on the monitoring page according to the meanings selected in the output Mapping tab. Note Caution: the output meanings shown are only updated after a configuration upload from the IED. When the assigned meaning becomes true, the free potential output contact - normally open - will be closed and keep the state as long as the condition assigned is valid.

Connection to the PC is possible with a RS232/RS485 half-duplex converter or with a USB/RS485 half-duplex converter. (Enabling the serial port of the PC must be done in the same way as the previous case).
