Description
9 Components
9.1 Three-position switch-disconnector
Features • The three-position switch-disconnector is designed for rated voltages from 7.2 kV to 24 kV
(25 kV).
• Switching functions as switch-disconnector (class E3) according to IEC/EN 62271-103 /
VDE 0671-103, IEC/EN 62271-102 / VDE 0671-102 and IEC/EN 62271-105 / VDE 0671-105
• Designed with the functions of a switch-disconnector and a make-proof earthing switch
• Switch positions CLOSED, OPEN and EARTHED
• In the switch-fuse combination, the function of the 2nd earthing switch is integrated at the
fuse assembly
Spring-operated The spring-operated mechanism is used for the three-position switch-disconnector in ring-
mechanism main panels (as ring-main switch). The switching movements are performed independently of
the operating speed.
Spring-operated/stored- The spring-operated/stored energy mechanism is used for three-position switch-disconnectors

energy mechanism in transformer panels (as transformer switch).
With the operating lever, the closing spring and the opening spring of the operating
mechanism are charged at the same time. After that, the three-position switch-disconnector
can be first closed and then opened with separate pushbuttons.
When a HV HRC fuse-link or the shunt release (f-release) trips, the precharged opening spring
is available for the opening operation; no additional charging process is required. This ensures
that the switch-fuse combination can switch off all appearing faults reliably even when the
three-position switch-disconnector closes.
When a HV HRC fuse-link has tripped, the "fuse tripped" indicator shows a red transverse bar.
The three-position switch-disconnector can be switched to EARTHED position with the
operating lever.
In order to prevent the operating lever from being left inserted accidentally, the spring-
operated/stored-energy mechanism is equipped with an operating lever ejection system as
standard.
9.2 Vacuum circuit-breaker
Features CB-f • Vacuum circuit-breaker for rated voltages from 7.2 kV to 24 kV

• According to IEC/EN 62271-100 / VDE 0671-100 / GB1984

• Operating mechanism located outside the switching-device vessel in the front operating
mechanism box
• Maintenance-free according to IEC/EN 62271-1 / VDE 0671-1
The vacuum circuit-breaker CB-f consists of a vacuum interrupter with integrated three-
position disconnector located in the switching-device vessel, and the associated operating
mechanisms.
The vacuum circuit-breaker type CB-f NAR is a circuit-breaker without automatic reclosing.
The vacuum circuit-breaker type CB-f AR is a circuit-breaker with automatic reclosing.
Features CB-r • Vacuum circuit-breaker for rated voltages from 7.2 kV to 24 kV

• According to IEC 62271-100 and IEC 62271-100
• Removable, air-insulated circuit-breaker with lateral operating mechanism

Description
Operating function The closing spring and the opening spring are charged by means of the operating lever
supplied, or by the motor (option), until the latching of the closing spring and the opening
spring is indicated ("spring charged" indication). Then, the vacuum circuit-breaker can be
closed manually or electrically (option).
In operating mechanisms with automatic reclosing type CB-f AR and CB-r (SION L), the closing
spring can be recharged by hand, or automatically in case of motor operating mechanism.
This enables an immediate automatic reclosing.

9.11 Ready-for-service indicator

The switchgear vessels are filled with insulating gas and are under pressure. The ready-for-
service indicator at the operating front of the panel shows if the gas density in the gas-
insulated switchgear vessel is in order.
① Indication of operating state

② Green area: Panel ready for operation
③ Red area: Panel not ready for operation
DO NOT SWITCH!
Fig. 28: Exemplary representation of the ready-

for-service indicator
Features • Self-monitoring, easy to read

• Independent of temperature and external pressure variations
• Independent of the site altitude
• Only responds to changes in gas density
• Contactless acquisition of gas monitoring
• Option: Signaling switch 1 changeover contact for remote electrical indication

Description
Mode of operation
① Switchgear vessel (filled with insulating
gas)
② Measurement box
③ Magnetic coupling
④ Red indicator: Not ready for service
⑤ Green indicator: Ready for service
Fig. 29: Principle of gas monitoring with ready-for-

service indicator
For the ready-for-service indicator, a gas-tight measurement box is installed inside the
switchgear vessel.
A coupling magnet, which is fitted to the bottom end of the measurement box, transmits its
position to an armature outside the switchgear vessel through the non-magnetizable
switchgear vessel (magnetic coupling). This armature moves the ready-for-service indicator at
the control board of the panel.
While changes in the gas density during the loss of gas, which are decisive for the dielectric
strength, are displayed, changes in the relative gas pressure resulting from temperature and
external pressure variations are not. The gas in the measurement box has the same
temperature as that in the switchgear vessel.
The same pressure change in both gas volumes compensates for the effect of temperature.
• The switchgear operates perfectly in a range between the rated filling level of 140 kPA and
the minimum functional level of 120 kPA.
• If the gas pressure falls below 120 kPA, the switchgear must not be operated anymore.
The ready-for-service indicator changes from the green area to the red area ("not ready for
service").
• If the ready-for-service indicator changes from the green area to the red area, the signaling
switch (option) changes its switching state.

The supply voltage may deviate from the rated supply voltage specified in the table by -15 %
to +10 %.
Closing solenoid (-Y9) The closing solenoid closes the circuit-breaker electrically. The closing command is executed
by application of an auxiliary voltage (AC or DC, depending on the design option). After
closing, the closing solenoid is de-energized internally.
Standard for circuit-breaker type CB-f AR and available as an option for circuit-breaker type
CB-f NAR.
Releases Releases trip the circuit-breaker. The electrical opening command is transmitted to the OPEN
latch via a magnet armature by unlatching an energy store. Depending on the operating
mechanism used, up to 2 releases can be used.
Shunt release (-Y1) Shunt releases are used to trip or electrically open circuit-breakers. The opening command is
executed by application of an auxiliary voltage (DC or AC, depending on the design option).
After opening the circuit-breaker, the release is de-energized internally.
Available as an option for circuit-breaker types CB-f AR, CB-f NAR and CB-r (SION L).
Shunt release (-Y2/-Y3) The shunt release (-Y2/-Y3) can be operated as an additional release besides the shunt release
(-Y1), and works in the same way.
-Y2 available as an option for circuit-breaker types CB-f AR and CB-r (SION L).
-Y3 available as an option for circuit-breaker type CB-f NAR.
Undervoltage release Undervoltage releases are used to trip or electrically open circuit-breakers. During normal
(-Y7) operation, the shunt releases are supplied with a closed-circuit current from an auxiliary
voltage source (DC or AC, depending on the design option). When the auxiliary voltage falls
below a specific value, or when it is interrupted, the opening command is issued.
C.t.-operated release (-Y4) The c.t.-operated release 3AX1102 (-Y4) is used for protection devices with a relay output,
which are supplied with instrument transformer current. The tripping circuit is supplied via
auxiliary transformers for tripping. When the required tripping current (0.5 A or 1 A,
depending on the design option) flows in the tripping circuit, the opening command is issued.
Available as an option for circuit-breaker types CB-f AR and CB-r (SION L).
C.t.-operated release (-Y6) The low-energy c.t.-operated release 3AX1104 (-Y6) is used for protection devices with a
pulse output, which are supplied with instrument transformer current. The tripping circuit is
supplied as well through the protection core of the current transformer. When a pulse of
0.1 Ws runs through the tripping circuit, the opening command is issued.
Low-energy release (-Y6) The low-energy release (-Y6) is provided for use in combination with the transformer monitor
IKI-30 (make Kries) or the protection device 7SJ45 (make Siemens) supplied with instrument
transformer current. The tripping circuit is supplied through the current sensor or current
transformer. When a pulse of 0.02 Ws runs through the tripping circuit, the opening
command is issued.
Standard for circuit-breaker type CB-f NAR.

Description
Varistor module The varistor module limits switching overvoltages caused by tripping coils in circuits and
auxiliary circuits. The varistor module is integrated in the releases.
Circuit-breaker tripping When the circuit-breaker is tripped by a release (e.g. by protection tripping), there is a signal
signal through the NO contact -S6. If the circuit-breaker is tripped with the mechanical pushbutton,
this signal is suppressed by the NC contact -S7.
Standard for circuit-breaker types CB-f AR and CB-r (SION L).
Option for circuit-breaker type CB-f NAR.

10.8 Climate and environmental influences

SIMOSEC switchgear may be used, subject to possible additional measures - e.g. panel heaters
or floor covers - under the following environmental influences and climate classes:
• Environmental influences:
- Natural foreign materials
- Chemically active pollutants
- Small animals
• Climate classes: The climate classes are classified according to IEC 60721-3-3.
SIMOSEC switchgear is largely insensitive to climate and environmental influences by virtue of
the following features:
• No cross insulation for isolating distances between phases
• Metal enclosure of switching devices (e.g. three-position switch) in gas-filled stainless-steel
switching-device vessel
• Dry-type bearings in operating mechanism
• Essential parts of the operating mechanism made of corrosion-proof materials
• Use of climate-independent three-phase current transformers
10.9 Resistance to internal arc faults (option)

• Safety of operating personnel ensured by tests to verify resistance to internal arc faults in
accordance with IEC 62271-200.
• Moreover, the effects of possible arc faults in SIMOSEC switchgear are considerably reduced
due to:
- Metal-enclosed and gas-insulated switching functions (e.g. on three-position switch and
vacuum circuit-breaker)
- Logical arrangement of operating mechanism elements and mechanical interlocks
- Short-circuit-proof feeder earthing by means of the three-position switch-disconnector and
the cable feeder earthing switch

Phase sequence for all panel types SIMOSEC:

Description
10.13 Insulating gas

The sealed pressure system of the switchgear contains the insulating gas SF6 (fluorinated
greenhouse gas, GWP 22,800).
Example for a typical amount of SF6 gas: SIMOSEC panel type R with 0.4 kg SF6 (CO2e = 9t).
The respective amount of SF6 gas included is indicated on the rating plate of the switchgear.
Gas leakage rate The gas leakage rate is < 0.1% per year (referred to the absolute gas pressure).
10.14 Dielectric strength and site altitude
Dielectric strength • The dielectric strength is verified by testing the switchgear with rated values of short-
duration power-frequency withstand voltage and lightning impulse withstand voltage
according to IEC 62271-1/VDE 0671-1.
• The rated values are referred to sea level and to normal atmospheric conditions (101.3 hPa,
20 °C, 11g/m3 humidity according to VDE 0111 and IEC 60071).
• The dielectric strength decreases with increasing altitude. For site altitudes above 1000 m
(above sea level) the standards do not provide any guidelines for the insulation rating, but
leave this to the scope of special agreements.
All parts housed inside the switchgear vessel which are subjected to high voltage are
SF6-insulated against the earthed enclosure.
Site altitude The gas insulation in the switching-device vessel at a relative gas pressure of 50 kPa
(= 500 hPa) permits switchgear installation at an altitude of up to 2000 m above sea level
without the dielectric strength being adversely affected.
A decrease (reduction) of the dielectric strength with increasing site altitude must be
considered for a site altitude of more than 1000 m (above sea level). A higher insulation level
must be selected, which results from the multiplication of the rated insulation level for 0 to
1000 m with the altitude correction factor Ka.
Altitude correction factor For site altitudes above 1000 m, the altitude correction factor Ka must be considered.
Curve m=1 for rated short-duration power-frequency withstand voltage and rated lightning
impulse withstand voltage according to IEC 62271-1 / VDE 0671-1.
Fig. 32: Correction factor Ka as a function of the site altitude in m above sea level

95 kV rated lightning impulse withstand voltage (see "Dielectric strength" table, rated voltage 17.5 kV)
Rated lightning impulse withstand voltage required =

95 kV * 1.28 = 122 kV
Result:
According to the above "Dielectric strength" table, switchgear for a rated voltage of 24 kV with a rated lightning
impulse withstand voltage of 125 kV is to be selected.
10.15 Selection of HV HRC fuse-links
Note to HV HRC fuse-links According to IEC 60282-1 (2009) Clause 6.6, the breaking capacity of HV HRC fuse-links is
tested within the scope of the type test at 87% of their rated voltage.
In three-phase systems with resonance-earthed or isolated neutral, under double earth fault
and other conditions, the full phase-to-phase voltage may be available at the HV HRC fuse-link
during breaking. Depending on the size of the operating voltage of such a system, this applied
voltage may then exceed 87% of the rated voltage.
To be observed during configuration of switching devices and selection of HV HRC fuse-links:
• Use only fuse-links satisfying the stated operating conditions.
• Use only fuse-links whose breaking capacity was tested at least with the maximum system
voltage.
In case of doubt, select a suitable HV HRC fuse-link together with the manufacturer.
Allocation of HV HRC fuses and transformers
The three-position switch-disconnector in the transformer feeder (transformer switch) of the
switchgear was combined with HV HRC fuse-links and tested in accordance with
IEC 62271-105.
The following transformer protection table shows HV HRC fuse-links recommended for
transformer protection.
For further applications or for HV HRC fuse-links, please contact the Siemens Service Hotline.

Installation
13.5 Comments on electromagnetic compatibility

To achieve appropriate electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), some basic requirements must
be observed while erecting the switchgear. This applies especially to the installation and
connection of external cables and wires.
Basic measures for ensuring EMC are already taken during design and assembly of the
switchgear panels. Among other things, these measures include:
• The low-voltage compartment is an integral part of the panel, which means that the
protection and control devices with the internal wiring are metal-enclosed.
• Reliable earth connections of the frame parts via toothed contact washers or locking
washers.
• Inside the panel, wires are laid in metal ducts.
• Spatial separation of sensitive signal wires from wires with high interference voltage levels.
• Limitation of switching overvoltages of inductive loads (e.g. relay or contactor coils, motors)
by means of protective circuits with diode, varistor or RC element.
• Within the low-voltage compartment, the secondary devices are mounted in defined zones.
• Shortest possible connection between corresponding modules in subracks.
• Consideration of the magnetic leakage fields of conductor bars and cables.
• Protection of subracks and wiring backplanes against interference by perforated shielding
plates.
• Large surface bonding between all modules and devices as well as bonding to the earthing
conductor of the switchgear assembly.
These measures basically enable proper operation of the switchgear itself. The planner or
operator of the switchgear must decide whether additional measures are required depending
on the electromagnetic environment where the switchgear is installed. Such measures must
be implemented by the installation company in charge.
In an environment with heavy electromagnetic interference it may be necessary to use
shielded cables and wires for the external connections. This makes it possible to avoid
interferences in the low-voltage compartment and thus, undesired influences on the
electronic protection and control or other automation devices.
Cable shields must be electrically bonded to be able to carry high frequencies, and contacted
concentrically at the cable ends.
The shields of cables and wires are connected and earthed in the low-voltage compartment.
Connect the shields to earth potential - with high electrical conductivity and all around as far
as possible. Protect the contact surfaces from corrosion in case of humidity (regular
condensation).
When laying cables into the switchgear assembly, separate the control, signaling and data
cables and other lines with different signal and voltage levels, e.g. by laying them on separate
racks or riser cable routes.
Corresponding to the different shield designs, there is a number of methods to perform
connection. The planning department or site management determines which of the methods
will be used, taking EMC requirements into account. The preceding points should always be
taken into account.
The shield is connected to cables or wires with clamps contacting all around. If low demands
are placed on EMC, it is also possible to connect the shield directly to earth potential (combine
or twist the shield wires) or via short cable connections. Use cable lugs or wire-end ferrules at
the connecting points.
Always keep the connecting leads of the shields as short as possible (< 10 cm).
If shields are used as protective earth conductors at the same time, the connected plastic-
insulated lead must be marked green/yellow over its entire length. Non-insulated connections
are inadmissible.

Installation
13.6 Preparing the switchgear room
NOTICE
Damage to the switchgear due to incorrectly dimensioned cable basement or floor
openings!
A too small cable basement or incorrect floor openings can damage the connection cables or
the switchgear.
➭ The cable basement must allow adequate space for connecting and laying the connection
cables. Do not violate the minimum cable bending radius of the cables.
➭ The pressure relief rooms must be according to the dimension drawing in the switchgear
documentation.
➭ The dimensions of the floor openings must be according to the dimension drawing in the
switchgear documentation.
Switchgear dimensions For switchgear dimensions, see page 74, "Floor openings and fixing points" or the order
documents (dimension drawings, front views).
Room dimensions The room dimensions result from the total width of the switchgear and the required wall
distances.
Room heights The minimum room height required results from the height of the switchgear and possible
top-mounted units, such as a low-voltage compartment or wiring duct.
Door dimensions The door dimensions depend on the

- Number of panels in a transport unit
- Design with or without low-voltage compartment
Weights For data, see page 45, "Dimensions and weights".
13.7 Preparing the foundation

• A suitable foundation can be a false floor, a double floor or a reinforced-concrete
foundation. The reinforced-concrete floor must be equipped with foundation rails for
supporting the panels.
• As for design and construction of the foundation, the relevant standards DIN 43661
“Fundamentschienen in Innenanlagen der Elektrotechnik” (Foundation rails in electrical
indoor installations) and DIN 18202 “Maßtoleranzen im Hochbau” (Blatt 3) (Measuring
tolerances in structural engineering (Sheet 3)) apply.
• The dimensions of the floor opening and the fixing points of the switchgear frame are given
in the switchgear documentation.
• Determine level differences between the installation surfaces of the panels using a
measuring sheet, and compensate with shims.
