Evolis: heavy duty and innovative

How does Evolis eliminate faults?

Electrical endurance
A magnetic field is applied along the axis of the vacuum interrupter contacts. This process maintains the arc in a diffuse mode even at high current values. It ensures optimum distribution of the energy over the contact surface thus avoiding localised hot spots. b The advantages of this technique: v a very compact vacuum interrupter, v low dissipation of arcing energy in the vacuum interrupter. Evolis is in conformity with highest electrical endurance class (IEC 62271-100: class E2).

200205

Mechanical endurance
200110

b This magnetic eld is generated by a patented external coil which surrounds the contact zone. This solution provides many advantages: v a simplied and therefore reliable vacuum interrupter, v heavy duty contacts which do not distort during repeated switching operations, v considerable reduction in control mechanism energy. b For the rst time, a low voltage device control mechanism has been integrated in a medium voltage circuit breaker. The Masterpact control mechanism used on Evolis provides the benets of a system that has proven itself for over 10 years on hundreds of thousands of installations. Evolis is in conformity with most demanding mechanical endurance class (IEC 62271-100: class M2).

PE55107

Protection chain
The Sepam series 20-40 protection unit combined with current sensors, provides a comprehensive measurement, protection and energy management chain. b A high performance and economical solution Sepam series 20-40, due to its modular nature, provides a cost-effective solution adapted to every requirement. b Easy to order and install v all components in the protection chain are referenced and deliverable very rapidly, v the functioning of the protection chain integrated in the Evolis circuit breaker has been fully tested and certied. b The power of a multifunctional digital unit Sepam series 20-40 is not simply a protection relay, it is a multi-functional unit notably providing: v circuit breaker diagnosis functions (number of switching operations, operating time, charging time, cumulative breaking current), v direct circuit breaker control whatever type of release, v remote operation of the equipment through the Modbus communication option. The Sepam series 20-40 is in compliance with the LPTC (Low Power Current Transducers) as defined by standard IEC 60044-8 (draft version).

Evolis: the commitment of a major manufacturer

What guarantees does Evolis provide?

Conformity with standards

b Conformity with standards is a guarantee of suitability for the required function, the very basis of the contract between the supplier and the customer: v dependability, v operator safety. It allows specifications to be fully satisfied whilst complying with local contraints. During its design phase, Evolis was subjected to a series of tests which confirmed excellent performance levels, beyond the standards requirements. b v v v v v v Type testing: dielectric tests, temperature rise, breaking capacity, thermal withstand, mechanical endurance, electrical endurance.

200477

b Specic testing: v ageing, v transport and storage. N.B.:

IEC 60694: common specifications for high voltage switchgear and controlgear standards IEC 62271-100: high voltage alternating current circuit breakers IEC 60298: A.C metal-enclosed switchgear between 1 kV and 52 kV. Comment: for more information, consult the IEC organisation site: www.iec.ch.

Certification
b Certication of conformity provides guarantees that the product: v has been subjected to type testing according to the procedures of standard EN 45001 in accredited laboratories by independent organisations, v is in conformity with recognized international standards. b Evolis is under process of certication by external EN 45011 accredited organisations. N.B.:
EN 45001: general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories EN 45011: general requirements for bodies operating product certification systems.

Guaranteed quality
200465

Schneider Electric integrates a functional organisation in each of its units with the main mission of checking quality and overseeing compliance with standards. The quality system, for the design and manufacture of Evolis circuit breakers, is certified to be in conformity with the requirements of ISO 9001 and ISO 9002 quality assurance standards. b ISO 9001: quality system for design/production and installation b ISO 9002: quality system for production and installation b IQNET: international certication network.

Systematic control
PE55105

During manufacture, each circuit breaker is subjected to routine systematic testing, with the aim of checking both quality and conformity. b Control of vacuum interrupters Each vacuum interrupter, sealed and airtight, is checked for the quality of the vacuum obtained. This pressure measurement is based on the proven magnetron discharge method. Using this sophisticated procedure, measurement is very precise and does not require access to the inside of the bulb, thus not affecting the airtight seal. b Control of the circuit breaker A rigorous set of tests and measurements is carried out on each circuit breaker. The results obtained are reported on and signed off by the quality control department on the test certificate for each device, thereby guaranteeing product traceability.

PE55104

Respecting the environment

b Schneider Electric has given the goal of: v actively participating in environmental protection, from a circuit breaker's design right through to its end of life, v complying with the environmental requirements of both its customers and end users of its products. b For Evolis circuit breakers v development teams integrated the products end-of-life right from the design stage. The product is easy to dismantle, all the materials used are recyclable and nonpolluting, v plastic parts are marked to identify the material, v the circuit breakers are produced in factories which respect the environment. Our subsidiary at Aubenas, France has been awarded the ISO 14001 standard certification (environmental management system).

Undervoltage release (MN)

An undervoltage release operates to open the circuit breaker when the voltage at the terminals of the release decreases below 35% of its rated voltage, even in case of slow and gradual decrease. It doesnt operate the circuit breaker when the voltage at its terminals exceeds 70% of its rated apply voltage. The closing of the circuit breaker is possible when the values of the voltage at the terminals of the release are equal to, or higher than 85% of its rated voltage. Its closing is impossible when the voltage of the terminals is lower than 35% of its rated supply voltage. Characteristics supply

Remote control

Function
b The remote control enables remote opening and closing of the circuit breaker. b In the case of continuous opening and closing orders, the remote control unit blocks the device in the open position as standard: the anti-pumping function. This function gives absolute priority to the opening order, but and also it stops closing order and thus avoids the device being locked in an indefinite opening-closing cycle: v the opening and closing coils may be fed power on a constant basis to achieve an electrical type locking: there is no self-breaking contact inside the device, v the interlocking between the opening and closing orders, whatever their causes, is achieved as standard within the device's control mechanism.
