● Caution to the direction of the coil (P1- P2 and S1-S2 or arrow on the toroid)
according to drawing
● Allowed only for insulated cable

(low voltage insulation)

Toroid CSH 30
● Current transformer for earth fault
● Design to convert CT output (1A or 5A) to

Sepam residual current input
● Caution to the direction of the coil (P1- P2 and

S1-S2 or arrow on the toroid) according to

Sepam by setting In0 = In/10
Recomended minimum threshold :

0,10 InCT (with DT curve)

● ACE990 is an adaptator between MV

toroid with a ratio 1/n (50 < n < 1500) and
Sepam input
● This wiring allows to keep old toroid (in

case of revamping for example)
Range from 0,1 Ino to 15 Ino

Toroid CHS 120 and 200
• Inside the shield of the incomer or out comer

power cable a residual current can be
generated due to various factors.
• This current could be enough to trip the

Sepam(and the circuit breaker).
• Always re-passing through the toroid a cable

connected to the shield.
• This way of cabling avoid troubleshooting

tripping order.

Discharged Charged Discharged

Arc cutting in SF6
Characteristics of the SF6 gas :
 5 times heavier than air

 Odorless and colorless, non-toxic
 Dielectric strength greater than air at an equivalent pressure
 Naturally stable gas at normal temperature but instable after
2 000°C
 Electron greedy gas (simplifies breaking)

 Gas self-regenerate by natural cooling, acceleration possible by a
regenerator
 Gas used since 1947 in medicine, tire inflation, phonic insulation…

Self-expansion technique
 Two electrical contacts are inside a sealed
chamber
 When these contacts are separated, the

electric arc generated increases the pressure
 This overpressure creates a natural convection

flow through the tubular contacts which is now
open
 A magnetic field makes the arc spinning

around the contact
 The field is created with a serial magnetic coil

by the current of the short circuit
 The arc extended, blown and cooled by this

technique, decreases rapidly and disappears

breaker when its supply voltage drops below a value less than 35% of the
rated voltage. Power supply AC or DC
• Mitop : low consumption release, with permanent magnet.

Used only with the Sepam 100 LA, VIP 3000, Satimax…

 Normal circuit:
 Device D closed, input I12 is excited,
input I11 is not excited.
 Device D open, input I12 is not excited,
input I11 is exited.
 Default circuit :
 I11 and I12 get a different position
 After 200 ms if there is no change on I11 and I12

or if inputs I11 and I12 are not correct SEPAM
send the message ”Control fault or TCS”

 3 poles in a pressurized enclosure (0,5 to 3,5 bar

depending on the performance level)
 No filling is required
 Operated by GMH drive (with stored energy)

Self-compression technique
 When the arcing contacts are separated, they

drive (in a same axis) a piston.
 The SF6 gas compressed by this mechanism

goes out of the chamber through a hole in front
of the arc.
 The gas is exhausted with force and blows out

off the electric arc

Evolis circuit breaker
EVOLIS Circuit breaker
 Designed to operate until 17,5 or 24 KV

 3 poles in a vacuum enclosure (10-2 Pa)
 Breaking with AMF technique
 Very simple and compact interrupter
 No maintenance is required for poles during
30 years(no need for contact wear inspection)
 Operated by P2 or RI drive (with stored energy

accumulator)

Evolis casing
 Frontal breaker are available in fixe or

withdrawable version
 A fixed lateral version is equipped

with an integrated protection chain
(VIP control unit and current sensor

Evolis Interrupter
 Two electrical contacts, one fixed and the other

mobile in an sealed enclose
 The latter enable a high level of vacuum (less
than 10-2 Pa)
 This type of enclosure provide a good insulation
and allows to reduce the gap between the open
contacts
 In order to keep the vacuum level required for
the correct operation of the breaker during 30
years the choice of materials and the sealed of
the chamber are very important
 “Getter” material are used inside to absorb the
residual gas

Evolis AMF technique
 In vacuum breaking, the electric arc generated is

made up of plasma and metal vapour
 At low value of current, these vapours very quickly
condense on the shield and the arc disappeared
 At high current, the electric arc switches to a
concentrated mode which causes high localized
temperature rises on contacts
 The AMF technique(axial magnetic field) involve
applying an Axial Magnetic Field parallel to the
axis of the two contacts which allows a diffuse arc
to be maintained
 The arc energy is spread over the whole contact
surfaces area, therefore causing very low levels of
erosion

Evolis interrupter
 In vacuum breaking, the electric arc generated

is made up of plasma and metal vapour
 Two different size are available depending of the
voltage
 The Axial Magnetic field is generated by
• A coil outside the interrupter for rated
voltage up to 17,5 KV
• A coil integrated inside the interrupter
contact structure for the 24 KV

 Breaking with rotating arc technique
 3 separate pressurized poles with SF6
 Electromagnetic operated mechanism

 Included pressure sensor

Rotating arc technique
 Arc rotation is obtained by electromagnetic
field (Laplace law)
 This field is created by a solenoid powered by

the mains
 Arc is blown away and cooled as it spins in the

gas
 The fast rotational movement makes the arc

rapidly reduce
 This technique associated with SM6 gas allows

very fast arc extinction
 Allowed to modulate the cooling speed

according to current value
 This soft way of switching avoids tear-offs

current and dangerous overvoltage (advantage
for motors)

 A main circuit

arcing contact

Mcset maintenance
WARNING !
All the following operations described should be carried out

with the safety regulation in force and under the responsibility
of an authorized person.
Always keep in mind that electricity or storage energy spring

can cause serious injury in case of non compliance of safety
procedure.

Maintenance level
According to AFNOR rules there are 5 different level of maintenance
 First level : simple adjustments using accessible devices, without dismantling or opening
the equipment
 Second level : troubleshooting resolved by standard replacement of spare parts and

minor preventive maintenance operations
 Third level : identification and diagnosis of failures, repairs by replacement of spare

parts and by following all standard preventive maintenance operations
 Fourth level : all major corrective or preventive maintenance work
 Fifth level: Retrofit, modification or major repair work assigned to a central workshop.

Maintenance program
MCset is designed for long life cycle with reduced maintenance. Only few operations
are required under normal operating conditions (temperature between - 25 °C and

 Remove the coil (2 screw)
 Proceed in reverse order to reassemble
 Make sure when magnetic toroid is closed that the gap
between cylinder and tripping lever (after screwing) is
about 1 mm

Thermal diagnosis system
To reduce maintenance costs in MV substations, this system
continuously monitors temperature rise.
● The different temperatures are measured on most sensitive

area and send by optic fiber to the control unit.
● The sensors are located on power cable connections and on
top MV fuse holders.
● Optical fibres, avoid to introduce any risks of insulation or
disturbance.
Functions:
● Permanent monitoring of temperature
● Tripping of a “pre-alarm”, then an “alarm” by activating dry
contact outputs,
● Indication of the zone and circuit involved.
