General information
HD4 medium voltage circuit-breakers use sulphur hexafluoride
gas (SF6) to extinguish the electric arc and as the insulating
medium.
Breaking in SF6 gas takes place without any arc chopping
and without generation of overvoltages. These characteristics
ensure long electrical life of the circuit-breaker and limited
dynamic, dielectric and thermal stresses on the installation.
The circuit-breaker poles, which make up the breaking part,
are systems with lifelong sealed pressure (IEC 62271-100)
and are maintenance-free.
The ESH type mechanical operating mechanism, with stored
energy has free release and allows opening and closing
operations independently of the operators actions.
The operating mechanism and the poles are fixed to the metal
structure which also acts as a support for the kinetics for
operating the moving contacts.

Circuit-breakers in the withdrawable version are fitted with a Thanks to the SF6 autopuffer breaking technique, the HD4

Specific diagrams are available for other types of circuit-breakers:
fixed circuit-breakers up to 24 kV - 1VCD 400005
HD4/Z 40.5 kV withdrawable circuit- breakers - 1VCD 400013.
In any case, to take into account the evolution of the product, it is always useful to refer to the circuit diagram provided with each circuit-breaker.
