3AP1 FG High-Voltage Circuit-Breaker

72,5 kV

The efficient High-Voltage Circuit-Breaker with Spring-Stored Energy Operating Mechanism

It has all the characteristics of a real professional. It works reliably, safely and with utmost efficiency. Where is it deployed? In every climatic zone on earth. References? In more than 80 countries worldwide. Its the 3AP1 and its the most powerful high-voltage circuit-breaker with a spring-stored energy operating mechanism from Siemens. Whatever the application: reliable and economical Years of experience in high-voltage switchgear has gone into the design and production of the 3AP1 FG circuitbreaker. All the main components of the circuit-breaker are produced in our own factories with the well-known Siemens standards. Spring-stored operating mechanism and interrupter units have proven their worth in worldwide daily use.

Major features Self-compression interrupter chamber Use of the thermal energy of the arc Minimized energy consumption High reliability for a long time Completely premounted Completely pretested The transport unit contains the complete circuit-breaker Less time is needed to erect and connect the breaker

The design We have applied the self-compression arc-quenching principle. This principle makes the best possible use of the energy of the arc to quench it, thus reducing the power required by the operating mechanism. Because of the low energy requirement, during development we were able to fall back in one of our operating mechanism forms which has proved itself over a long time: the spring-stored energy mechanism. The new 3AP1 FG circuit-breaker will be delivered completely mounted on a breaker base and prefilled with arc quenching gas SF6.
