Application, Requirements
Features
SIMOSEC switchgear is a
factory-assembled, typetested, three-phase, metalenclosed, metal-clad indoor
switchgear according to
IEC 60 298 / VDE 0670,
Part 6 for single busbars.
Typical uses
SIMOSEC switchgear is
used for power distribution in
distribution systems with
feeder currents up to 1250 A.
Modular space-saving design
allows use in
Substations, customer trans-
fer substations, distribution

substations and switching
substations of power supply
and public utilities
Public buildings, such as
high-rise buildings, railway

stations, hospitals

(e.g. current transformers, motor
operating mechanisms) and is
therefore given as mean value
2) Sum of the

Operation via a

Mode of operation
The switch shaft with the
moving contact pieces
rotates inside the chamber containing the fixed
contact pieces.
Compression vanes,
which rotate in conjunction with the switch
shaft, divide the arcing
chamber into two subchambers each of which
changes in conjunction
with the rotation.
During the switching
movement, the compression vanes generate a
pressure difference between the subchambers.
The SF6 gas flows
through a nozzle, causes
a directional blow-out of
the breaking arc and
quenches it rapidly.
Interlocking is not necessary as the CLOSED
and EARTHED functions cannot be implemented simultaneously.

as for busbar voltage metering panel type ME31-F
The three-position switch is
operated via a rocker with
metal bellows which is
gas-tight and welded at the
switchgear vessel.
Motor operating
mechanism (option)
The manual operating mechanisms can be equipped
with motor operating mechanisms both for the threeposition switch-disconnector
and for the three-position
disconnector.
Operating mechanisms (examples)
Spring-operated/stored-energy mechanisms can be

equipped with a shunt release. Remote electrical tripping of the three-position
switch-disconnector is possible via the magnetic coil
of the shunt release, e.g.
transformer overtemperature
tripping.
R-HA41-079 eps
Standard:
Shunt release (option)
To avoid thermal overloading

of the shunt release in the
event of a continuous signal
that may be applied, the
shunt release is switched off
via an auxiliary switch which
is mechanically coupled with
the three-position switchdisconnector.

Self-checking
For the ready-for-service indicator, a gas-tight measuring

box is installed on the inside

Option: With remote
A coupling magnet, which

is fitted to the bottom end
of the measuring box, transmits its position to an outside
armature through the stainless steel switchgear vessel.
This armature moves the
ready-for-service indicator of
the switchgear.
While changes in the gas
density during the loss of
gas, which are decisive for
the insulating capacity, are
displayed, temperaturedependent changes in the
gas pressure are not. The
gas in the measuring box has
the same temperature as
that in the switchgear.
The temperature effect is
compensated via the same
pressure change in both gas
volumes.

According to the above

table, a switchgear for a

to be selected.
As the altitude increases, the

insulating capacity of insulation
in air decreases due to the
decreasing air density.
For SIMOSEC switchgear the
decreasing insulating capacity
must be taken into account

Internal arc tests performed in

Appendix AA / VDE 0670
Part 6, Appendix AA *
The possibility of arc faults
in SIMOSEC switchgear is
much less due to:
Metal-enclosed and gasinsulated switching functions
(e.g. of three-position
switch-disconnector and
3AH5 vacuum circuit-breaker)
Logical arrangement of
operating mechanism
elements and mechanical
interlocks
Short-circuit-proof feeder
earthing by means of the
three-position switchdisconnector
Definitions of criteria:
Criterion 1
Correctly secured doors,
shutters etc. must not open
Criterion 2
Parts of enclosed
switchgear which may cause
a hazard must not fly off
Criterion 3
No holes in the freely
accessible external parts of
the enclosure as the result of
burning in or tearing open
Criterion 4
Vertically arranged
indicators must not ignite
Criterion 5
Horizontally arranged
indicators must not ignite
Criterion 6
The effectiveness of the
earth connection must not
be detrimentally influenced
In the event of an arc fault at

the cable connection, pressure
relief is effected to the rear and
upwards.
For free-standing switchgear a
pressure-relief duct fitted at the
rear is optionally available up to
20 kA.
Climate and ambient

SIMOSEC switchgear may be
used, subject to possible additional measures e.g. panel
heaters or floor covers

conditions and climate classes:

The climate classes are

SIMOSEC switchgear is largely
insensitive to climate and
