-- arc quenching device

Description

• SIQuench is an active arc

detection system by Siemens,

which quenches the internal

arc in a time span of less than 5

milliseconds.

Benefits

• Considerable reduction of pressure and arc energy

• Prevents thermal, contamination

and toxicity effects from damaging the equipment with its surroundings

• Fast restart

• Minimization of switchgear downtimes and reduction of economic losses

Design and function

• Basic components

– SIQuench main switch unit

– Controller

– Optical sensors
– Time-overcurrent protection

• Continuous monitoring of light and overcurrent; in the event

of an internal arc, SIQuench earths the switchgear quickly by

means of a controlled mechanical 3-phase short circuit

• Definitive breaking of the short circuit current through the circuit breaker
of the incoming feeder

Technical data

• Up to 12 kV, up to 40 kA

• Fast mechanical stored-energy spring mechanism

• Continuous self-monitoring

• 5 switching operations at full rated short-time withstand current (with peak

withstand current)

• Maintenance-free for 20 years

• Service life of 30 years as a minimum

Installation possibilities
