For the use of maintenance-free and

climate-independent switchgear in older
substation buildings which do not feature
arc-fault testing, the 8DJ20 switchgear can
be designed with modified pressure relief
systems and absorbers.
The pressure absorber system is enclosed
and maintenance-free.
As a special cooling system, it reduces
the pressure-dependent and thermal effects
of arc faults in the switchgear vessel and the
cable connection compartment, and thus
protects both people and buildings.

During the switching movement, the compression vanes

generate a pressure difference

The SF6 gas flows through a
nozzle, causes a directional
blow-out of the breaking arc
and quenches it rapidly.

Closing operation
Characteristics
During closing operation, the

switch shaft with the moving
contact blades changes from
the OPEN to the CLOSED
position.
Mechanical service life
The force of the springoperated mechanism ensures

a high closing speed and a
reliable connection of the main
circuit.
The good insulating properties
of the SF6 gas delay striking of
the arc to the arcing contacts
of the fixed contacts.
Opening operation
During opening operation, the
SF6 gas is compressed in the
arcing chamber.
The compressed gas, which
flows from the nozzles of the
moving contact blades, cools
down the opening arc between
the contacts and safely
quenches it in a few
milliseconds.
The isolating distance created
by opening fulfills the conditions applicable to isolating
distances in accordance with
IEC 60 265-1/
VDE 0670-301 * and
IEC 60 694/
VDE 0670-1000 *
Due to the gas flow in the
arcing chamber, which is
controlled by the operating
movement, both load currents
and minor no-load currents are
safely interrupted.

Spring-operated
mechanism for ring-main feeders
R-HA40-071 eps
No additional charging procedure is required for the energy

store. This energy store is
already charged by the switching operation from the
TRIPPED position to the
OPEN position. The precharged energy store also
ensures that the switch-disconnector/fuse combination can
safely switch off all fault types
during closing.
R-HA40-069 eps
The switching operations are

the same as for the springoperated mechanism. An
energy store is available for tripping with the help of a tripping
HV HRC fuse or via the shunt
release.

For switch-disconnector
In the event that an HV

HRC fuse link has tripped, the switch is tripped via an articulation
which is integrated into
the cover of the fuse
box (see figure).

Option:
Tripped indication of

In the event that the

fuse tripping fails, e.g.
if the fuse has been inserted incorrectly, the
fuse box is protected
by thermal protection.
The overpressure generated by overheating
trips the switch via the
silicon diaphragm in the
cover of the fuse box
and via an articulation.
This breaks the current
before the fuse box incurs
irreparable damage.

The above thermal protection works independently

of the type and design of
the HV HRC fuse used.
Like the fuse itself it is
maintenance-free and independent of any outside climatic effects.
Furthermore, the Siemens
HV HRC fuses release the
striker pin depending on
the temperature and trip
the switch-disconnector as
early as in the fuse overload range. Impermissible
heating of the fuse box can
be avoided in this way.

Insulating capacity)
The rated values are referred
to sea level and to normal

atmospheric conditions
(1013 hPa, 20 C, 11 g/m3
humidity in accordance with
IEC 60 071 / VDE 0111)
The insulating capacity
decreases with increasing

altitude. For site altitudes
above 1000 m (above sea
level) the standards do not
provide any guidelines for
the insulation rating. Instead,
special regulations apply to
these altitudes.
All of the parts housed inside
the switchgear vessel which are
subjected to high voltage are
SF6-insulated against the
earthed enclosure.
The gas insulation at a gauge
pressure of 50 kPa (= 500 hPa)
permits switchgear installation
at any desired altitude above
sea level, without the insulating
capacity being adversely affected. This also applies to the
cable connection when using
cable T-plugs or cable elbow
plugs (screened version) and to
the busbar for 8DH switchgear
(screened version).

Site altitude:
As the altitude increases,

the insulating capacity of

density. This reduction
(r correction factor a = 0.9,

In the event of an arc fault
at the cable connection,
pressure relief is effected
downwards into the cable
basement.
In the unlikely event of a fault
within the switchgear vessel,
the energy conversion in the
case of an internal arc fault is
minor thanks to the gas insulation, i.e. approximately only 1/3
compared to air. The escaping
gases are discharged downwards.

For the use of maintenancefree and climate-independent
switchgear in substation
buildings without resistance
to internal arc faults, such as
e.g. old substations, the
switchgear can be designed
with a modified pressure relief
system with absorbers.
As a special cooling system,
this maintenance-free pressure
absorber system reduces the
pressure-dependent and thermal effects of internal arc faults
in switchgear vessels and cable connection compartment,
and thus protects people and
buildings.
The closed system is suitable
for both wall-standing and freestanding arrangement.

parts.
Climate and ambient

conditions
8DJ/8DH switchgear types are
fully enclosed and insensitive
to climatic conditions.
Climatic tests fulfilled in
accordance with IEC 60 932

(report)
All medium-voltage devices
(except for HV HRC fuses)

are installed in a gas-tight,
welded stainless steel
switchgear vessel which is
filled with SF6 gas
Live parts outside the switch-
gear vessel are provided with

single-pole enclosure
At no point can creepage
currents flow from highvoltage potentials to earth

Operating mechanism parts
which are functionally important are made of corrosionproof materials

Bearings in operating mech-
anisms are designed as drytype bearings and do not

require lubrication.
