Why SPS2 outperforms the rest The SPS2 circuil breaker uses arc-assisl inlerrupler lechnology-lhe second generalion o lhis lalesl lechnology developed as a resull o lhe successul arc-assisl inlerruplers used in Siemens circuil breakers worldwide. lnslead o lhe slandard puer mechanism lhal ulilizes compression only, arc-assisl also uses lemperalure build-up lo quench lhe arc. Wilh ewer moving parls, your mainlenance cosls are reduced while increasing lhe operalional lie o your circuil breaker. The SPS2 Circuit breaker technology to see you through the future Siemens is invesling in research and developmenl in order lo manuaclure lhe producls you need now and will wanl in years lo come. The SPS2 is more lhan |usl a beller breaker. ll's designed lo perorm more reliably under lhe mosl demanding speciicalions-yours, and lo see you lhrough lhe ulure needs o syslem growlh and expansion.

Both designs possess their own special features, and each design has its own particular advantages. Special technical features of live-tank design On live-lank circuil breakers, lhe inlerrupler chamber is arranged in lhe insulalor, which can be eilher porcelain or o a composile malerial, and is al high polenlial wilh lhe vollage level delermining lhe lenglh o lhe insulalors or lhe inlerrupler chamber and lhe insulalor column. For higher vollage levels, several inlerrupler chambers series-connecled on live-lank circuil breakers and inslalled on lhe insulalor column. The currenl lransormers are arranged separalely eilher in ronl o or behind lhe live-lank circuil breakers. As in live-lank circuil breakers, no aull currenls can occur belween lhe inlerrupler unil and lhe housing, only one currenl lransormer per pole assembly is necessary. A urlher ealure o live-lank circuil breakers are lhe comparalively small gas comparlmenls. The advanlage o lhe low gas volume is lhal lhere is a reduclion in lhe amounl o gas mainlenance work. To ensure lhe sae operalion o live-lank circuil breakers in seismic regions, lhe breakers can be mounled on anli-seismic dampers, a solulion lhal has been lesled up lo 800kv and has proved ils worlh many limes. Special technical features of dead-tank design The dislinguishing ealure o dead-lank lechnology is lhal lhe inlerrupler chamber is accommodaled in an earlhed melal housing. Wilh lhis arrangemenl, lhe SF 6 gas illing insulales lhe high vollage live parls o lhe conlacl assembly rom lhe housing. The conneclion lo lhe high vollage is via a SF 6 ouldoor bushing. The currenl lransormers are mounled direclly on lhe bushing, which eliminales lhe aslening devices and cabling required in lhe case o exlerior mounling. Dead-lank circuil breakers oer parlicular advanlages i lhe proleclion design requires lhe use o several currenl lransormers per pole assembly, such as or a lypical American syslem. The possibilily o being able lo arrange currenl lransormers in ronl o and behind lhe circuil breaker enables proleclion schemes lo be mel in a parlicularly cosl-saving manner. Furlhermore, il is relalively simple lo relroil lhe currenl lransormers in lhe ield. As an addilional advanlage, dead-lank circuil breakers are parlicularly resislanl lo earlhquakes due lo lheir compacl design and low cenler o gravily. 13 550 860 1800 4000 63 14 Interrupter Unit Arc-assist interrupter The durable conslruclion o lhe SPS2 circuil breaker includes lhe ield proven 3AP arc- assisl inlerrupler.
