Product description High-voltage pole
A new generation of FSK type breakers has
been developed to address the railway AC
market for outdoor application. As result of a
continuous improvement of former products
dedicated to the same application range, this
product line is based on proven technology
components and uses vacuum interrupting
technology.

The current is interrupted in a bottle in which


a high vacuum exists. When the contacts
open, a metal vapour arc appears between
the contacts. This vapour carries the current
until next current zero.

The arc extinguishes at current zero and


metal vapour condenses on the metal
surfaces within a few microseconds, which
means that the gap recovers its dielectric
strength very rapidly. The pole consists in vacuum interrupter(s)

bar pressure dry nitrogen N2 (or SF6 gas on
request).

The gas guarantees a moisture free stable


environment around the interrupter.

The N2 (or SF6) gas is unaffected by the


electric arc which occurs only inside the
vacuum.

The magnetic driven Block diagram
operating mechanism
The magnetic actuator is an ultra-modern
concept for operating mechanism
construction; storing and monitoring its
energy electrically. The result is a completely
maintenance-free drive system, which can
confidently be expected to have even longer
life times than its mechanical predecessors.

Careful selection of all components and


reliable design guarantee maximum
reliability – even under EMC load.
The magnetic actuator
The magnetic actuator technology has been
successfully introduced for medium voltage
circuit breakers in the three-phase market.

Considering the number of magnetic-driven


breakers in operation, the return of
experience has already demonstrated the
same reliability as a spring-charge
mechanism.

The FSK II is the world’s first commercially


produced outdoor breaker for railway power-
supply, which uses the actuation technology.

The benefits of this technology are:

Reduced maintenance duties The actuator is a bi-stable magnet system,


Increased reliability of operation made of two permanent magnets
thanks to reduced number of maintaining the device in open or closed
components and related settings position, and two electrically excited coils.
Interfaces through digital inputs with
reduced power demand Switching operations are released by
Fast simple exchange of any main excitation of one of the coils until the

commands
The magnetic actuator transmits directly its
movement to the vacuum interrupter mobile
contact.

The vacuum interrupter can also be opened


manually with a crank, part of maintenance
tools.
