HMB Upgrades
Mechanism retrofits for high voltage circuit breakers & related
switchgear
What is an HMB? HMB Advantages
HMB is a hydraulic spring operating mechanism for high voltage (38 − Highest power density on the market
kV to 800 kv) dead tank and live tank circuit breakers, gas insulated − Highly reliable
switchgear, generator circuit breakers, and hybrid switchgear. Since − Long term stability
1991 it has been used on new high voltage equipment and retrofitted − Robust performance under all environmental conditions
to installed equipment utilizing AHMA and HKA mechanisms. − High switching capabilities
− Easy to handle
− Internal hydraulic damping
AHMA to HMB Improvements − Adjustable speed
− Sealing system improved − Plug and play technology
− Modular design for greater serviceability
− Virtually maintenance free
− Improved motor gear design
− Easy exchange slip-on coils (available option)*
− Upgraded pilot valve (available option)*
− Improved pump element inlet sieve
− Close interlock changed to mechanical design

Greater serviceability yields lower lifetime maintenance


costs and shorter outages
− Modular design (HMB) versus internal components (AHMA)
− New pilot valve with replaceable coils available
− Auxiliary contacts moved from breaker control cabinet to
mechanism interconnecting housing
− No special tools required for routine maintenance

HMB’s modular design is compact, standardized, with easily


accessible components

Upgrade Advantages Ready-To-Go Components
− AHMA and HKA no longer in production Save time and money with Ready-To-Components. Many types of HMB
− 100% compatible retrofit kit available for most dead tank mechanisms are stocked at ABB, all are delivered tested and ready to install.
circuit breakers (same mounting location)**
− Conversion to easy exchange coils available on retrofit*
− Improved oil sealing system Virtually maintenance free - Best practices for extending HMB
− Modular, maintenance friendly design mechanism operating life
− No special tools required for routine maintenance
