Properties of 3AH circuit breakers: No relubrication Nonwearing material pairs at the bearing points and nonaging greases make relubrication superfluous on 3AH circuit breakers up to 10,000 operating cycles, even after long periods of standstill. High availability Continuous tests have proven that the 3AHs are maintenancefree up to 10,000 operating cycles: accelerated temperature/ humidity change cycles between 25 and +60 C prove that the 3AH functions reliably without maintenance. Assured quality Exemplary quality control with some hundred switching cycles per circuit breaker, certified to DIN/ISO 9001. No readjustment Narrow tolerances in the production of the 3AH permanently prevent impermissible play: even after frequent switching the 3AH circuit breaker does not need to be readjusted up to 10,000 operating cycles.

Advantages of the vacuum switching principle The most important advantages of the principle of arc extinction in a vacuum have made the circuit breakers a technically superior product and the principle on which they work the most economical extinction method available: s Constant dielectric: In a vacuum there are no decomposition products and because the vacuum interrupter is hermetically sealed there are no environmental influences on it. s Constant contact resistance: The absence of oxidization in a vacuum keeps the metal contact surface clean. For this reason, contact resistance can be guaranteed to remain low over the whole life of the equipment. s Large total current: Because there is little burning of contacts, the rated normal current can be interrupted up to 30,000 times, the short-circuit breaking current an average of 50 times s Small chopping current: The chopping current in the Siemens vacuum interrupter is only 4 to 5 A due to the use of a special contact material. s High reliability: The vacuum interrupters need no sealings as conventional circuit breakers. This and the small number of moving parts inside makes it extremely reliable.

Vacuum circuit breakers Vacuum switches Vacuum contactors Transformer tap switches Circuit breakers for railway applications Autoreclosers Special applications, e.g. in nuclear fusion
Compact design Vacuum interrupters provide a very high switching capacity within very compact dimensions: e.g. vacuum interrupters for 15 kV/40 kA with housing dimensions of 125 mm diameter by 168 mm length or for 12 kV/12.5 kA with 68 mm diameter by 124 mm length. Consistant quality assurance Complete quality assurance (TQM and DIN/ISO 9001), rigorous material checking of every delivery and 100% tests of the interrupters for vacuum sealing guarantee reliable operation and the long life of Siemens vacuum interrupters. Environmental protection In the manufacture of our vacuum interrupters we only use environmentally compatible materials, such as copper, ceramics and high-grade steel. The manufacturing processes do not damage the environment. For example, no CFCs are used in production (fulfilling the Montreal agreement), the components are cleaned in a ultrasonic cleaning plant. During operation vacuum interrupters do not affect the environment and are themselves not affected by the environment. Know-how for special applications If necessary, Siemens is prepared to supplement our wide standard program by way of tailored, customized concepts.
