Schneider Electric in China
Since the establishment of its first joint-venture plant in Tianjin in 1987, Schneider Electric has established a strong
foothold in the market for over 20 years, and has grown together with the Chinese economy. The most outstanding
contribution made by Schneider Electric in that period was to bring circuit breaker technology into China, replacing
the traditional fuse, and eventually setting new standards for breakers in China. In early 90s, the Clipsal by Schneider
Electric, launched its switch panel in China, ending the Chinese history of long-term using lamp cord.
Schneider Electric's huge amount of investment constituted a strong support for China's economic construction.
In the meantime, Schneider Electric provided advanced product support and sophisticated technical services for
Chinese economic development: the company's industrial products, such as the low-voltage apparatuses, drives,
and contactors, were extensively used in China's domestic economic development, therefore promoting the
country's industrialization.
Till now, Schneider Electric had established 77 offices, 26 factories, six distribution centers, one learning institute,
three research and development centers, one laboratory, 500 distributors and a nation-wide sales network.
Schneider Electric currently employs 22,000 staff in China, and helps create thousands of other jobs through its
partners and distributors.

Design
Design
The HVX vacuum circuit-breaker was designed on the basis of the proven post
insulator switch principle, i.e. the pole section is secured to the drive casing in two
places.
In addition to providing insulation between the poles and to the ground, the
multifunction pole section performs all supporting and protection functions.

Description
Thanks to the use of modern vacuum interrupter
chambers, vacuum circuit-breakers make for an
optimization of the entire drive kinematics.
Main shaft
Method of operation:
The energy for a complete switching cycle can be
stored in the spiral spring. The ON and OFF movement
of the vacuum interrupter chamber is controlled via the
cam discs. Once closing (ON) has been effected, the
spring can be tensioned further, storing the energy for
a complete automatic re - closing cycle.
The drive mechanism is available in two basic models,
i.e. as manual spring mechanism FH 2-01 or the
motorized spring mechanism FK 2-01. Appropriate
interlocks rule out faulty switching operations.
In addition to the mechanical actuation of the manual
ON/OFF pushbuttons, the drives can be remotecontrolled electrically or actuated via primary relays.

Pole section HVX 2500 A
The supporting component of the entire pole section is the multifunctional pole
shell. Its functions comprise those of a mechanical supporting device for the top
and bottom terminal contacts between which the vacuum interrupter chamber is
suspended free of mechanical constraints. In this case, there are no insulating
bridges between the phases.
Integrating a wide variety of func - tions within the pole envelope helped minimize the
number of individual parts significantly.
Pole section > 2500 A
The pole section is of extremely robust design. The solid support provides a
constraint-free suspension for the interrupter chamber. Due to this statically closed
support system, the axial forces produced on closing and opening only act on
the contact system, whereas the vacuum interrupter chamber remains free of
constraints.

Secondary Equipment
Releases
Auxiliary release (Shunt releases)
The coil of the auxiliary release is supplied with
exciter voltage from an auxiliary supply source via a
release contact. Pulsing can be initiated by hand, via
control switches, overcurrent releases or undervoltage
releases
In case of AC voltage, the coil is supplied via a rectifier
installed in the switch housing. As the coil is designed
for short-term excitation only, the exciter circuit is
routed via an auxiliary switch contact controlled by the
circuit-breaker shaft, thus - once released - interrupting
the current circuit
Secondary release (Transformer-operated
release)
Secondary releases are used for automatic release
of switching devices in case of short-circuits and
overcurrent. Once the protector reacts, the release is
excited by the transformer current, thus caus - ing the
switch to be tripped. These releases are supplied for
transformer secondary currents of 0.5 A, 1 A and 5 A.
Undervoltage release
Undervoltage releases are supplied by the auxiliary
source permanently. Whenever the auxiliary current
is interrupted or its voltage drops essentially, the
switching device is tripped straight away.
Auxiliary switches
Auxiliary switches are always actuated directly by the
switch shaft via an intermediate linkage, their position
always correspond - ing to the position of the main
contacts.
The circuit-breakers are equipped on general with an
auxiliary switch with 8 contact elements. For further
current circuits, 8 contact elements can be arranged
additionally. Optionally, an electronic pulse stretcher
can be supplied.
Electronic pulse stretcher
The electronic pulse stretcher, type C27 900,
extends the momentary pulses to 50 ms, which offers
the following advantages:
suitable for short passing contact input signals > 1
ms
independent of the input voltage, i.e. 24 V 240 V
AC/DC
independent of climatic and environmental influences
constantly reproduced momentary pulse
potential-free momentary pulse
straightforward retrofit; i.e. no intervention in the
mechanical switching system
Push switches
The push switches are snap-action switches
mounted to the drive mechanism
Unlike auxiliary switches, push switches are not
necessarily dependent on the switching device's
position, but are actuated e.g. via cams or via various
elements installed on the switch
The control switches are wired to the terminal
strip; on request, a plug-and-socket connection (with
connector and connector base) is also available
Relay
Anti-pumping relay
If both an ON and OFF command are permanently
present on the circuit- breaker at the same time,
the latter returns to its initial position after closing. It
remains in this initial position until the ON command
is issued again. This prevents continuous closing and
opening (=pumping)
Operation counter
An operations counter has been integrated into the
operator interface to furnish proof of the number of
switching operations actually performed by the circuitbreaker
The number of switching cycles can be used to draw
conclusions about the service life or the operating
cycles

Insulating Level (Tested According To IEC 60 694 or
EN 60 694)
HVX HVX vacuum circuit-breakers are suitable for installation at high altitudes. They
can be used in build - ings with low thermal insulation or low thermal capacity, heated
or cooled, without temperature monitoring. The heating or cooling systems may fail
to operate for a period lasting several days. The values specified for the insulating
level are referred to sea-level.
In case of installation at altitudes above 1000 m, a reduction of the insulation level
must be considered using an altitude correction factor (ka = correction factor).
Thus, the following applies to the selection of devices and switch - gear:
Rated withstand voltage to be selected1
Required rated withstand voltage 1
Ka
However, if the actual insulating level at the site of installation -the withstand
voltage is to be determined, the reduction of the insulat - ing level starting
at 0 m (sea-level) must be taken into consideration as follows:
Withstand voltage 2) = ka Rated withstand voltage 1)
of the selected device.
The following is defined:
The following is defined: Rated withstand ....voltage 1) = Rated value according to

Transport
Transport
The HVX vacuum circuit-breakers are shipped with packaging. The circuit-breaker's weight corres
- ponds to the selection tables. On delivery, the circuit-breakers are fully assembled and adjusted.
The HVX vacuum circuit-breaker must be lifted in accordance with the illustration. A rope with a
diameter of 12 to 15 mm or a strap is required.
