3. Structure and working principle

3.1 The three phases that are separated share one common support and one CT26 spring operating mechanism. The output bent arm of the mechanism is connected with the circuit breaker through the rod. The circuit breaker is composed by the interrupter, pedestal, support and mechanism operating box. See the details in fig1. 3.1.1 Interrupter The interrupter adopts self-energizing theory. It is the most important part of the circuit breaker and is consist of the fixing contact support, fixed contact, fixed arcing contact, moving contact, moving contact support, moving arcing contact, gas cylinder, nozzle and middle contact. The fixed contact is fixed on the upper connection board. The fixed contact support is filled with F-03 absorbent. The moving contact is fixed on the lower connection board and is connected with the wheel box through the insulating rod. See the details in fig2. 3.1.2 Connection board (terminal.) The connection board divides into the upper connection board and the lower connection board. One connection board has two terminals. Connection should be made according to requirements. The connection board is made of aluminum cast with silver. Dimension of the connection hole is shown in fig.3. 3.1.3 Post bushing The post bushing, under the interrupter, acts as a support to the interrupter and the insulation to the earth. It has high intensity and excellent air tightness. 3.1.4 Wheel box The wheel box, under the post bushing, delivers the motion of the operating mechanism into gas department to open or close the circuit breaker. The type O shaped seal ring enclosed the SF6 gas in the wheel box. There are automatic cutout valves on the side of wheel box. These valves are

sealed when the connecting pipe is unconnected. The thimbles in the connecting pipes will open the valves to guarantee that the three gas departments are connected when the connecting pipes are connected. 3.1.5 Pedestal The pedestal props the circuit breaker and connects with the operating mechanism. It carries operating load of the circuit breaker. A gas density-pressure gauge is installed under the pedestal to monitor the SF6 gas pressure. 3.1.6 Mechanism operating box The Mechanism operating box that is fixed on the pedestal is enclosed with CT26 spring operating mechanism and secondary control panel. The output bent arm of the mechanism is connected with the bent arm of the wheel box under the middle phase through the rod. There are two40 incoming holes at the bottom of the operating box.

3.2 Working principles 3.2.1 Working principle of interrupter It is of the self-energized arc-distinguishing principle. When breaking small inductive and capacitive current or rated current, the gas pressure in the cylinder and that out of the cylinder differs due to the mechanical motion of the moving contact, which distinguishes arcing. When breaking short-circuit current, arc is burning between the moving arc contact and the fixed arc contact, and SF6 gas in the cylinder is expanded, which increases the difference of the gas pressure in the cylinder and that out of the cylinder. Arcing is distinguished when current is over zero. 3.2.2 Spring operating mechanism The structure and the action principle are shown in fig.4.

The continuous current of the contact is not less than 5A. 3.2.2.6 The continuous current of the connection terminal is not less than 30A. 3.2.2.7 Electric principle and wiring of the circuit breaker are shown in fig11 and fig 11.1. 3.2.2.8 Charging of the operating mechanism Closing spring is at uncompressed station. The ratchet pawl shaft(6) is connected with the electromotor by gears. See the details in fig 4(A). When charging, the electromotor forces the ratchet shaft (6) to rotate clockwise; the two ratchet pawls(5) on the ratchet shaft push the ratchet wheel(3) to rotate counter clockwise alternately to drive the dowel and rod on ratchet wheel to compress the closing spring; the closing spring drives the ratchet wheel to turn counter clockwise about 2when the dowel reaches the left top point, and the charging holding dowel(4) on the ratchet wheel is buttoned by the holding detent(15) to finish charging. The electromotor is cut off and the ratchet pawl departs from the ratchet wheel at this time. 3.2.2.9 Closing operation The closing spring is charged when the breaker is at opening state. See the details in Fig 4(B).

When the mechanism receives the closing order, the closing coil is to be electrified and the attraction of the moving iron core of the closing electromagnet drives the closing conduct rod to strike the closing detent (13) to rotate counter-clockwise and releases the energy holding detent (15). Then, the closing spring drives the ratchet to rotate clockwise with high speed, and the cam(18)that is coaxial with the ratchet beats the roller on the large bent arm(8)to force the output bent arm (7) to move upward and complete closing. At that time, the opening spring is compressed to store energy to prepare for the opening operation. The closing operation can also be realized by attacking the conduit of closing electromagnet by hand. After finishing the closing operation, motor begins to store energy for the closing spring again. The state of the mechanism at this time is shown in Fig 4C. 3.2.2.10 Opening operation Both of the closing spring and opening spring are charged when the breaker is at closing state. When the mechanism receives the opening demand, opening coil is to be electrified and the attraction of the moving iron core of opening electromagnet drives the opening conducted rod to strike the opening detent (10) to revolve counter clockwise and releases the closing holding detent (9).The opening spring drives the bent arm to turn clockwise to force the main part of the breaker to complete opening operation and the large bent arm to move downward to press down the closing holding detent to make the mechanism at the opening state, see the details in Fig4 (B). The opening can also be competed by attacking the conduit of opening electromagnet by hand. 3.2.2.11 Bound-resistant device This mechanism is equipped with mechanical bound-resistant device.

device is also on requirement.

3.2.3

3.2.3 The circuit breaker is designed with SF6 density-controller gauge with automatic monitor function to the temperature compensation. The gauge can not only display the pressure of SF6 gas but also amend the affect of pressure difference arising from temperature change. The gauge will send out alarm signal when the pressure of gas in circuit breaker is lower than the alarm value. The gauge will send out locking signal when the pressure of gas in circuit breaker is lower than the locking value.

4. Packing, transportation, check before acceptance and storage

4.1 Packing, transportation: The CB is disjointed to pack and transport. The accompanying documents should be delivered to the user by the transporting unit. The gas compartments are filled with SF6 gas (0.05Mpa). The main body of the circuit breaker is at closing state; the mechanism is at opening state and uncharged. The packages are forbidden to be overturned, inverted, impacted. 4.2 Check before acceptance As the circuit breaker arrived, users should check the accompanying documents first. Then open the packages with the transporter and check the circuit breaker and accessory according to the packing list. Please contact the manufacturer in time if you have any question. Pay attention to the bushing of the circuit breaker when you open the packages. 4.3 Storage: The circuit breaker should be stored at drying ventilated house without pollution, if it wont be installed at once.
