Introduction
Introduction
Exceeding Customer Expectations -ABB Live Tank Circuit Breakers
ABB has over a century of experience in developing,
testing and manufacturing high voltage circuit
breakers. Through the years, our circuit breakers
have acquired a reputation for high reliability and
long life in all climates and in all parts of the world.
ABBs LTB circuit breaker family, with rated voltage
72.5-245 kV and breaking current up to 50 kA,
satisfies the highest demands. It is based on latest
developments in dielectric dimensioning and arc
physics research.
ABB produced the worlds first SF6 circuit breakers
with arc-assisted interrupters in the mid-1980s Auto-PufferTM.The energy required for interrupting
short circuit currents is partly taken from the arc
itself,significantly reducing the energy required

When interrupting high currents (e.g. rated shortcircuit current), Auto-PufferTM interrupters show the
advantage they were designed to provide.
On opening, the operation of an Auto-Puffer TM
interrupter at high current begins the same way as
a puffer interrupter. It is not until after arcing begins
that a difference in the operation principle is seen
between the high and low current interrupting
cases.
When the arcing contacts part, an arc is drawn
between the moving and stationary arcing contacts.
As the arc flows, it to some degree blocks the flow
of SF 6 gas through the nozzle. The arc drawn is
extremely hot and radiates a lot of heat and begins
to heat the SF6 gas in the interrupting gas volume.
Thus, the pressure inside the Auto-PufferTM and

Dielectric Strength
LTB has high dielectric strength even at atmospheric
SF6 pressure, due to optimized contact gap.
Controlled Switching
As option LTB circuit breakers can be used for
controlled switching by applying our controlling device
type SwitchsyncTM.For further information please see
chapter O-1Controlled Switching.

Material
Rating Plates
The support structure and protective tubes for the pull
rods are made of hot-dipped galvanized steel
Insulators
LTB circuit breaker is as standard delivered with
insulators that consist of high-grade brown-glazed
porcelain or composite insulators (light gray). LTB
with light gray porcelain can be delivered on request.

Arrival Inspection
Type Tests
The LTB circuit breakers have been type tested in
accordance with IEC and/or ANSI standards. Type test
reports can be presented on request.
Routine Tests
All LTB circuit breakers are routine tested before delivery.
Our test program complies with IEC and ANSI standards.
Transport
The LTB circuit breakers are normally packed and
transported in seaworthy wooden crates.The circuit
breaker poles with one breaking element per pole are
transported as com-plete units.
SF6 gas
Gas for filling up to rated pressure can be delivered in
bottles, each containing 40 kg gas.
The quantity required for each type of LTB varies from
one circuit breaker type to an-other. This information is
given in the tender.
The pressurizing equipment can be delivered on request,
and is described under Erection and Commissioning.
LTB FAMILY
Maintenance
LTB is designed for a service life of more than 30 years
or 10,000 mechanical operations. For current switching
the number of operations before service is dependent
on the interrupted current and type of application.
Inspection, maintenance and overhaul should be carried
out at regular intervals de-pending on the ambient
conditions and the number of operations.
