SIEMENS e Type SP and SPS Puffer Circuit Breaker 15.5 - 72.5 kV 1200, 2000 and 3000A 20,31.5 and 40 kA 3cycleThe Best-Selling Breaker In Its Class ; Of all the SF6 circuit breakers made for 15 to 72 KV voltage classes, Siemens breakers are preferred by more utilities than any other! Why? There are a num- ber of reasons: excellent design and product reiabilty, simple installation requirements, easy maintenance. Cost is certainly a factor, both on the invoice and in the field, Ready service and ‘support also figure highly in our favor. With the type SPS putter circuit breaker —one with a spring-driven operating mechanism — you have another solid reason to choose Siemens, Never before have so many advantages been so widely available. oth the spring-operated type SPS breaker and the pneumaticaly-operated ‘ype SP broaker give you the high per. formance you need and the afforéablity ‘you want. I's no wonder more then 12,000 are in the field today, Excellent By Design Type SP and SPS puffer subtransmis sion breakers are designed for general- purpose and specialized applications at maximum rated voltages of 15.5 to 72.5 RV. Rated interrupting capacities are 20, 31.5 or 40 KA. The continuous current ‘ating is 1200 amperes, 2000 amperes (0F 3000 amperes. Both breaker types feature a dead tank design consisting of three cylindrical ‘aluminum interrupting modules mount- fd on top of a mechanism and control cabinet. A single break interrupter is ‘mounted within each interrupting ‘module which contains SFB gas at a pressure of 75 psig. Through-type current transformers are mounted externally on each interrupting madule, Features And Benefits ‘+ Manufectured in the United States, including interrupter and mechanism * Rupture disk for over-pressure conditions: = Temperature- compensated SF6 pres- ‘sure switch for accurate ‘operation over contre tempere- ture range * Worn interrupters are ‘maintained, not replaced Interrupters are easily Upratabl: current transform ers are easily interchangeable ‘= No pressurized ‘epoxy vessels guard against leakage and are superior to ccompression- type fittings * Fully tested to ANSI standards, including 90 per- cent shortline fault tests = Seismically qualified + Shipped assem- bled, tested end ‘timed, saving installation time and costs + Readily available service network ** Maintenance/nstalltion videos available + Standard urits in stock at factory allow quick shipmentsThe Interrupting Module e i Each interrupting module contains SFB We designed the {985 ata pressure of 75 psig, along with interrupters to make 8 single break interrupter housed in 2 inspections easy, with a ‘lass-epony flementwound tube. bolted cover providing Energy for interrupting fault current is quick access to the provided by an opening spring within the _assembiy.

The reasons are simple: long te, law maintenance, low repair requirements. Porcelain offers key maintenance benefits because it's highly resistant 10 all weather concitions. And porcelain has @ proven field record for depend: abiity and reliability ‘Six standard 50° creepage bushings are [provided on SP and SPS type breakers. To accommodate special needs, cpiional designs maybe ordered, For instance, insulators are available for altitudes to 10,000 feet, as are extra Creep designs suitable for high contami ration zones. SP and SPS bushings are ‘also manufactured to withstand a Cantilever mechanical load of up 10 180 pounds, Bushings are mechanically interchange- able. This means that 1200 amp breakers can easily be uprated to 2000 ‘and 30004, Bushing Current Transformers External bushing current transformers are mounted in weatherproof housings ‘on both sides of the breaker.

Thanks to design that features low gas pres- sure and volume (ust 15.0 pounds), you can forget about the complications of {988 cars, vacuum pumps, tank fiters ‘and special drying equipment ‘The breaker is shipped with 5 psig of positive pressure, so there's no need to ‘evacuate the pole unit for installation, [Another advantage to this shipping method? It provides 2 double check for possible leakage. To transfer gas into the common gas system, you simply connect a botte of SF6 tothe fil valve located in the control cabinet. No vacuum pumps or gas carts are required. With the fil valve opened, 928 is completely transferred to the interrupters, up to 80 psig at 70* (20°C), a8 indicated on the pressure gauge While not standacd on putter breakers from some manufacturers, Siemens SP and SPS models have an SF6 rupture tise to automatically relieve any pole Unit overpressure condition. This impor tant feature can prevent catastrophic breaker damage in the event of 3 sustained, internal fault, The rupture {isis located on each inspection cover, shielded by a deflector pate to prevent possible injury to personnel For easy accessibilty interrupter pole Units are at ground potental, And each Individual pole unit has a “quick discon. rect” coupling so that it can be isolated for easy installation and servicing There's no need for special drying equip- ment either.

Internal inspections are kept to ' minimum — only one fourth the rhumber usually required. That's because Siemens tests and verifies its imertupters for 20 fullrated fault intertuptions.
