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.

Main contact separation


8 No electric arc strikes as the current flows through the arcing contacts.
During its run downwards, the moving part compresses the gas contained in the lower chamber. The compressed
gas flows out of the lower chamber into the upper chamber, taking them both to the same pressure.

Arcing contact separation


The current flows thanks to the electric arc which has struck between the arcing contacts.
The gas cannot get out through the nozzle because the hole is still closed by the fixed arcing contact and cannot
get out through the inside of the moving arcing contact either because the electric arc closes this (clogging effect).
with low currents, when the current passes through natural zero and the arc is quenched,
the gas flows through the contacts. The low pressure reached cannot chop the current and the modest amount
of compressed gas is sufficient to restore dielectric resistance between the two contacts, preventing restriking
on the rising front of the return voltage.

with high short-circuit currents, the pressure wave generated by the electric arc closes the valve between
the two chambers so that the circuit-breaker starts to operate as a pure self-blast. The pressure increases in
9 the upper volume thanks to heating of the gas and molecular disassociation due to the high temperature. The
increase in pressure generated is proportional to the arc current and ensures quenching on first passage through
current zero.

Standards and approvals


HD4 circuit-breakers comply with IEC 62271-100 Standards
and with those of major industrialised countries.
They have undergone the following tests and guarantee safety
and reliability of the apparatus in service in all installations.
Type tests: heating, withstand insulation at industrial and
impulse frequency, short-time and peak withstand current,
mechanical duration, making and breaking of short-circuit
currents;
Individual tests: insulation with voltage at industrial
frequency in the main circuits and insulation of the auxiliary
and control circuits, measurement of the main circuit
resistance, mechanical and electrical operation.
The HD4 circuit-breakers are tested according to the
requirements of the IEC 62271-100 Standards.
GOST versions have been approved by Scientific and
Technical Centre Standartelectro-S of Moscow (ask ABB for
the Declaration of Conformity).

Altitude Graph for determining the Ka correction factor
according to the altitude according to IEC 62271-1
STDs

Example
Installation altitude 2000 m
Operation at the rated voltage of 12 kV
Withstand voltage at industrial frequency 28 kV rms
Impulse withstand voltage 75 kVp
Factor Ka obtained from graph = 1.13.

Considering the above parameters, the apparatus will


have to withstand the following values (under test and at
zero altitude, i.e. at sea level):
withstand voltage at industrial frequency equal to:
28 x 1.13 = 31.6 kVrms
impulse withstand voltage equal to:
75 x 1.13 = 84.7 kVp.

From the above, it can be deduced that for installations


at an altitude of 2000 m above sea level, with 12 kV
service voltage, apparatus must be provided with 17.5
kV rated voltage, characterised by insulation levels at

At a power supply lower than 220V, connect the Control
Coil Continuity device, or a relay or a signalling lamp
which consumes a current not exceeding 20 mA.
At a power supply equal to or higher than 220V, connect
a delay or signalling lamp which consumes a current not
exceeding 10 mA.
Other uses might jeopardise release functionality.
F) The -FB1 circuit-breaker in fig. 21 must always be
provided when there is a 24 kV d.c. spring charging
motor.
In case of opening caused by a fault in the motor, before
carrying out manual resetting, recharge the springs by
means of the special handle.
