1.3 Motor-operated mechanisms

1.1 General

The vacuum circuit-breakers of type VD4/S are intended for indoor installation in air-insulatedswitchgear systems. They have a switching capacity capable of handling the loads occurring atstart-up and shutdown of equipment and plant units both in normal and in fault state.Vacuum circuit-breakers have particular advantages for use in networks where there is a highswitching frequency in the working current range and/or where a certain number of short-circuitbreaking operations are expected. Type VD4/S vacuum circuit-breakers are suitable forautoreclosing, and have exceptionally high operating reliability and long life.The vacuum circuit-breakers of type VD4/S, designed in column form, can be supplied both asindividual units for switchgear Type SM6, Uniswitch, HXGN, etc.

6.1 Basic structure of the circuit-breaker on withdrawable breaker assembly

This VD4/S is the newest improvement equipment by Rockwill Electric. It’s now given morereliable products than previous VD4/S original.

Front control panel See attached picture the VD4/S Inner mechanism is very simple structure. Where is a charging hole for charge mechanism on stored status. Where is closing and opening coil(pushbutton) together)
Closing and opening coil(Button together)	Auxiliary switch	Charging hole

Note:
It’s a very reliable mechanism for New VD4/S, It’s provided with at least 15,000 operations test
with out adjust or replacement parts.

6.2 Structure of the breaker operating mechanism
The operating mechanism is of the stored-energy spring type. The necessary operating energy isstored ready for activation by charging the spring energy storage mechanism.

The stored-energy spring mechanism essentially consists of drum and containing the compressionspring the charging system, the latching and operating mechanism and the linkages which transmitthe force to the breaker poles. In addition, there are supplementary components such as thecharging motor, releases, auxiliary switches and the controls and instruments located on the frontof the mechanism. The operating mechanism is fundamentally suitable for auto-reclosing and, dueto the short charging times, also for multi-shot auto-reclosing.

In the basic version of the circuit-breaker, the spring energy storage mechanism is charged
manually. The operating mechanism can optionally be fitted with a charging motor.

6.3 Energy store (Closing spring charging)
To provide the necessary motive energy, the spring energy storage mechanism, either charged automatically by a charging motor or manually use a charging lever .
As a precondition for an auto-reclosing sequence, the operating mechanism is either (re-)charged after a closing operation automatically by the charging motor, or it requires (re-)charging by hand if the operating mechanism is of the manual type.

6.4 Closing operation
The closing process is started by the mechanical ON push-button(see VD4/S breaker panel ), or by activation of shunt release ON .

6.5 Opening operation
The opening procedure is initiated by mechanical OFF push-button or by activation of one of releases.

6.6 Auto-reclosing operation
An OFF-ON or OFF-ON-OFF auto-reclosing sequence is activated and checked by the protection system. It is necessary for the compression spring to be in the (re-)charged condition, with the
circuit-breaker in the closed position. The (re-)charging process is carried out automatically after closing of the breaker on breakers with motor charging mechanisms, but must be carried out
manually on breakers without charging motors (or when the charging motor has broken down). Opening of the breaker is also possible during the (re-)charging process, but subsequent closing of the breaker is however blocked until the charging process has been completed.

7.1 Condition on delivery
• The factory-assembled switching devices are checked at the works for completeness of theequipment installed and simultaneously subjected to a routine test in accordance with VDE 0670,part 1000 or IEC 62271-100, GB1984-2003, thus verifying their correct structure and function.

7.2 Packaging

The switching devices are mounted individually on a wooden pallet and sealed in film and/orpacked in cardboard for delivery.Packaging for overseas shipment:
• Drying agent bags inserted in the film-sealed packaging.

7.3 Transport

Loading of the package units must only be carried out with a
• crane,
• fork-lift truck and/or
• trolley jack.
Notes:
• Avoid impact during handling.
• Do not subject to other damaging mechanical stresses.
• Liftinggear must not be attached to the breaker poles or parts of the operating mechanism. Usethe lifting lugs T for hoists.

7.4 Delivery

The duties of the consignee on receipt of the switching devices at site include the following:

7.5 Intermediate storage

Intermediate storage of the switchgear in the switch position OFF and the stored-energy springmechanisms discharged.
(Indicator DISCHARGED: ).
Conditions for optimum intermediate storage:
1. Devices with basic packaging or unpacked:
• A dry and well ventilated storeroom with climate in accordance with VDE 0670, part 1000 /IEC 62271-100,GB1984-2003

• Do not remove or damage the packaging.
• Unpackaged devices:
–Are to be loosely covered with protective sheeting.

–Sufficient air circulation must be maintained.

• Check regularly for any condensation.
2. Devices with seaworthy or similar packaging with internal protective sheeting:
• Store the transport units:
–protected from the weather,
–dry,
–safe from damage.
• Check the packaging for damage.
• If the maximum storage period starting from the date of packaging has been exceeded:
–The protective function of the packaging is no longer guaranteed.
Suitable action must be taken if intermediate storage is to continue.

8. Commissioning / Operation
8.1 Preparatory activities (Prior to application of primary voltage)
• Check the circuit-breaker for any kind of damage or other injurious environmental influence, and restore to the proper condition where necessary.
• Remove any contamination, particularly on insulating parts, which has occurred during transit, storage or installation.
• Lifting lugs for high current circuit-breakers, if still fitted, must be removed.
• Check the primary and secondary connections and the protective conductor terminal.
• Check mechanical and electrical interlocks for effectiveness, without using force.
• Charge the spring energy storage mechanism by hand (see section „Charging the spring energy storage mechanism“).
• For test purposes, switch the mechanism on and off using the mechanical operating elements ON/OFF pushbutton (note in this context any specified design supply voltage and any interlocks installed). (attached with picture)
• Check the charging motor on circuit-breakers with motor-operated mechanisms by applying supply voltage.
• On motor-driven withdrawable parts, check the direction of rotation of the travel motors as described in section „Checking the direction of rotation of the travel motors ...“.
• For any further questions on the functions of the withdrawable circuit-breaker part and its testing, see section „Testing withdrawable parts“.
• Ensure that the Instruction Manual is available to the operators at all times.
