VM1. The circuit-breaker.

The VM1 vacuum circuitbreaker finds its universal range of applications throughout the chain from power generation in power stations through controlled distribution in transformer substations to the final consumer, such as the chemicals industry, steel industry, automobile industry, airport and building power supply.

VM1. Qualities that convince.


Maintenance-free vacuum interrupter and complete pole part as a positive unit.

New pole part design. In the VM1 circuit-breaker, pole parts in which the maintenance-free vacuum interrupter forms a positive unit together with the entire pole part are used for the first time. This is achieved by a specially developed embedding technology in which the vacuum interrupter is directly potted in epoxy resin to form a pole part. External influences on the switching element are therefore extensively precluded.

VM1.
The sum of the benefits. Few individual parts Simple mechanical sequences Extremely high reliability High quality standard Extremely long life Maintenance-free

Magnetic actuator The heart of the electromagnetically operated mechanism with the switching, latching and release functions. Electronic controller Electronic control of release, operating motion, energy storage and functional reliability.

Capacitor Electrical energy store for a complete autoreclosing cycle. Sensor Non-contact detection of switch position.

Lever shaft The only mechanical component for force transmission from the magnet armature to the vacuum interrupter.

VM1.
The new operating mechanism technology. Force generation by magnetic actuator Latching by magnetic actuator Release by magnetic actuator No parts subject to wear Maintenance-free as a standard feature

The innovative mechanism concept facilitates a drastic reduction in the number of parts and complete freedom from maintenance.

VM1. Maintenance-free with magnet technology.


Following the triumphal advance of the vacuum interrupter in the field of medium voltage circuitbreakers in the last 20 years, a highly promising, natural team has now been found with magnetic actuator technology. The requirements of one technology are optimally matched by the opportunities of the other. Magnet technology naturally provides the suitable travel-time and force-travel characteristics for vacuum switching devices. All operating mechanism functions are integrated in the magnetic actuator of the VM1 circuit-breaker. The actuator is a bi-stable magnet system, in which switchover of the armature to the relevant limit position is effected by the magnetic field of two electrically excited coils. The armature is held magnetically in the limit positions by the fields of two permanent magnets. Switching operations are released by excitation of one of the two coils until the retaining force of the permanent magnets is exceeded. Even on complete failure of auxiliary power, electrical operation is still possible for a period of 60 s. The circuit-breaker can then be opened by the standard emergency manual operating system. The characteristics of the actuators magnetic circuit are designed in such a way that the armature can act directly via the lever shaft on the moving contact in the vacuum interrupter. With this method of actuating force generation and transmission, wear is unknown. Maintenance up to extremely high numbers of operating cycles is simply a thing of the past.

VM1. Circuit-breaker of the high tech generation.


The selection of a suitable internal power supply with feed via a UC-DC converter makes the VM1 circuit-breaker independent of the type and also almost of the level of auxiliary voltage. The external power consumption is less than 4 watts when the circuit-breaker is in the on or off position. After an autoreclosing cycle, the power consumption from the auxiliary power supply is less than 100 W for only a few seconds. The energy store not only provides the necessary coil energy, but also ensures power supply to the electronics. The energy content is sufficient for a buffer time of 60 s on failure of the auxiliary power. The charge condition is of course monitored and displayed. Careful selection of all components and reliable design guarantee maximum reliability even under EMC load.

The control module with sensors. EMC proofing by electrical decoupling Self-monitoring with fault signalling Independent of auxiliary power supply Low energy consumption on recharging of the capacitor Sensor detection of the mechanical switch position Monitoring of all switching functions

The complete electrical isolation from the outside also contributes. For an important electronic control system to have a watchdog function with fault signalling is nowadays a matter of course. The concept of a circuit-breaker control system without any auxiliary switches makes use of sensors to detect the mechanical limit positions. The inductive proximity sensors employed

have proven their worth for these functions in practice, and are of course also included in the self-monitoring system. All necessary application-specific input and output signals are independent of the type of auxiliary voltage in accordance with the rest of the system, and are integrated by plug-in technology.

The electronic controller with sensors monitors all the functions of the circuitbreaker and its own functional reliability.

VM1. The modern circuit-breaker.


The VM1 circuit-breaker is the first vacuum circuit-breaker applying a combination of maintenance-free, moulded in vacuum interrupters, maintenance-free magnetic actuator and maintenance-free electronic controller without auxiliary switches and with sensors. The result is a completely maintenancefree circuit-breaker which functions so reliably it can simply be forgotten about!
