Operation Principle

1. Principle of manual mechanism operation

■ Closing operation: firstly pull the energy storage handle to store energy, and the applied operating torque increases from small to large. When the closing spring passes through the middle moment, the closing spring releases energy, which urges the energy storage system to rotate counterclockwise and drives the arm to rotate. The drive shaft closes the outdoor vacuum circuit breaker, and at the same time, the split arm catches the opening half shaft to make the circuit breaker in the closing state. When the mechanism is in the closing state, the cam and the rotating shaft sleeve are disengaged, and the mechanism cannot be closed again.

■ Opening operation: After the breaker is closed, pull the opening handle or when the current exceeds the setting value of the anti-surge device, the over-current coil is driven, both make the brake half-axis rotation, the opening arm unbuckle, and the transmission rod makes the circuit breaker opening under the drive of the spring.

2. The principle of motor mechanism

■ Energy storage operation: pulling the energy storage handle, or the energy storage motor rotates, the cam is rotated under the drive gear, and the closing spring is gradually elongated. After the spring passes through, the cam is held by the positioning member and no longer rotates. In preparation for the closing state; at the same time the cam and the drive shaft are disengaged so that the mechanism cannot store energy again.

■ Closing operation: After the energy storage is completed, pull the manual closing handle or apply a voltage to the closing coil to make the closing half shaft rotate. The closing arm and the closing half shaft are unbuckled, and the closing spring releases energy to drive the transmission shaft. The outdoor vacuum circuit breaker is closed and the opening spring is stored. When the mechanism is in the closing state, the energy storage operation is performed again, and the closing spring is again elongated. After the spring passes the middle, the closing half shaft is buckled by the interlocking device to prevent the mechanism from accidentally closing the brake. In the closed state of energy storage, the mechanism is in the reclosing state, which can achieve a "O-0.3S-CO" reclosing operation.

Opening operation: After the outdoor vacuum circuit breaker is closed, the sub-gate handle is pulled or a voltage is applied to the sub-gate coil, or the over-current coil is driven when the line current exceeds the set value of the anti-surge current device, so that the sub-gate is rotated by a half shaft and opened. The arm is released and the transmission lever is opened by the opening spring to open the outdoor vacuum circuit breaker.

Note: The overcurrent coil of the operating mechanism is a short-time working system and cannot be used for a long time.

Installation and maintenance

1. The operator should have a preliminary understanding of the product performance, installation and adjustment, and maintenance knowledge. It should record the problems during operation and notify the manufacturer when necessary.

2. Outdoor vacuum circuit breaker should be visually inspected prior to installation. Check whether the insulation sleeve is damaged, whether there is any leakage in the indication of open-close and storage, whether the box is deformed or not. After inspection, the product should be installed on the posts above 4m.When the circuit breaker with isolator is installed, the accuracy of the mechanical interlocking device between the isolator and the breaker should be carefully checked.

3. Before the product is put into operation, check carefully whether the rated voltage and rated current of each operating element match the actual situation. The mechanism is used to check whether the movements are correct.

4. The parameters of the circuit breaker have been adjusted at the time of factory inspection. Users do not have to turn on the machine for inspection. After the withstand voltage test is performed as required, they can be installed.

5. Outdoor vacuum circuit breaker can be erected by single pole or double pole. Circuit breakers should be mounted smoothly and firmly on special steel frames.

6. The product will be checked regularly to check whether the operation of the circuit breaker is normal. For outdoor vacuum circuit breaker with isolator, the isolator is inspected twice a year, and it is checked whether the mechanical interlocking action between isolator and circuit breakers is normal and some grease is injected into the moving parts.

Transportation, acceptance and storage

■ Transportation

When transporting, the entire product must be packed in a closed box to be fixed. In the transportation process, no turning and tilting must be taken. When lifting the outdoor vacuum circuit breaker body, the four rings hooked on the box can not directly carry the epoxy insulating cylinder. When the outdoor vacuum circuit breaker with isolator, the center of gravity is inclined to the side of the isolating switch, and it should be carried out slowly when lifting.

■ Acceptance

After receiving the outdoor vacuum circuit breaker, the user shall perform the following acceptance work:

1) Check whether the package is damaged or not;

2) Check whether the documents and accessories are complete according to the product packing list ;

3) Check the technical parameters on the outdoor vacuum circuit breaker nameplate and the product certificate meets the order requirements.

■ Storage

The outdoor vacuum circuit breaker shall be stored in a dry, ventilated, moisture-proof, shock-proof and anti-harmful gas-infiltrating room. Check whether the environment meets the requirements if long-term storage. Packing, unpacking and storage should be carried out in a dry room, and check whether the products and components are complete and consistent.
