Equipment protection
• PIX includes active protection against an internal arc by fast switching. An
internal arc limiter quickly detects an internal arc and switches off in order to
limit the damage to the switchgear and the switchgear housing
• Two systems are available to detect the light caused by an internal arc and to
switch off the upstream breaker:
- VAMP-system with optical sensors
- Schneider Electric protection relay series "Easergy P3 or P5" with integrated
optical sensors

Description
PM108836
HVX is a globally used, state of the art vacuum circuit breaker. Its design is the
result of more than 40 years of Schneider Electric experience in switching devices.
Its wide geographical deployment makes it a key component of PIX equipment.
Application
HVX is designed to break rated currents and short circuit currents under heavy
switching conditions such as inductive loads and capacitive loads for various
HVX up to 2 500 A
applications such as transformers, generators, motors and capacitors.
Design
Racking device
PE58246
The racking device moves the circuit breaker from the disconnected position to the
service position and vice versa.
A motorized version of the truck provides remote rack in and rack out the circuit
breaker.
The HVX racking device has a robust interlocking system with the switchgear door,
the LV plug, the circuit-breaker and the earthing switch.
The materials used to manufacture the HVX racking trolley sub-assemblies have
been selected and designed to operate 1 000 cycles under the conditions defined
by the IEC standard.
Mechanism
HVX above 2 500 A The operating mechanism gives the device an opening and closing speed that is
independent of the operator whether the order is electrical or manual. It carries out
reclosing cycles and it is automatically recharged by a geared motor after each
closing.
Vacuum interrupter
This component is the heart of the circuit breaker. The Schneider Electric owned
design breaks the rated short-circuit current and this is achieved by:
• Choosing materials that are specifically selected for this application (metals
and ceramics)
• Choosing an appropriate assembly process (vacuum, high temperature
brazing)
• The use of a "getter" material to absorb the residual gas inside the enclosure
Standard
HVX has been fully tested according to IEC 62271-100: 2008 at 50 Hz and 60 Hz
and the latest GOST standards. The highest level of the above mentioned
standards has been passed including M2, E2, C2.
HVX has also been certified acc. to IEC 62271-C37.013: 2015 for generator circuit
breaker up to 40 kA.

Racking device
The racking device moves the disconnector from the disconnected position to the
service position and vice versa.
The racking device follows the same design principles as the circuit breaker.
The CVX racking device has a robust interlocking system with the contactor position

The Easergy P5 presents a major step forward for protection relays, bringing a
number of best-in-class features together in one device.
Advanced cybersecurity
IEC 62443 compliant, the P5 has been designed with an optional cybersecurity
package. This means reduced exposure to cyber threats and improved operational
security. By default, the Easergy P5 includes important features such as password
management, port hardening, and secure communication.
With a handle built in as part of the design, the P5 can be quickly disconnected or
exchanged to speed up maintenance. Wiring, data, communication, and settings
stay safely on the panel and will be there when the relay is reconnected.
Greater connectivity
The protection relay features seven communication protocols. This includes
compliance with IEC 61850 ed.1 and ed.2, Modbus (serial/TCP), IEC 60870-5-103,
IEC 60870-5-101, Ethernet/IP, and DNP3 (serial/TCP). Additionally, thanks to the
P5's modular design, communication ports can be added at any time to enable you
to upgrade your device in line with future network upgrades.

The arc protection unit detects an arc Vamp arc flash range
flash in an installation and trips the
feeding breaker
PM106633
An arc flash protection system
minimizes material damage caused by
arc faults.
Vamp 321
Advantages
People protection
The shorter the operating time of the arc flash protection unit, the smaller the
damage will be caused by the arc fault and the shorter the possible power outage.
Reliable Operation
Operation is based on the appearance of light or alternatively on the appearance
of light and current from an external device. Immune to nuisance trippings due to
dual tripping criteria; light & current.
Easergy TH110 is self-powered by the network current and it can ensure high
performance providing accurate thermal monitoring being in direct contact with
the measured point.
