To perform this study for testing the insulation resistance there are three kinds of
methods used: Time resistance test, spot reading test and step voltage crest. Testing for
insulation resistance helps equipment performance and worker safety.
“Different procedures have been developed to evaluate and track the integrity of
insulation. Usually, they involve monitoring the current after applying a test voltage. Ohm's
law [R = E/I] can be used to compute resistance given these two values. This "stress tests" the
insulation in a similar process to testing plumbing systems for leaks by applying high water
pressure”.
To represent the total current passing through the insulation it is important to understand
the capacitance charging current, absorption current and conduction or leakage current in order
interpret the test results.
“To ensure your results are valid, spot testing should ideally only be performed on
systems with temperatures exceeding the dew point. If tests are performed at different
temperatures, carefully record the temperature of each test, and apply the appropriate correction
to determine what the resistance would be if the test were performed at 20°C (68°F)”.

“The total resistance between any two points that are separated by electrical insulation
is measured by insulation resistance (IR) test. The test evaluates how the dielectric (insulation)
is effective in resisting the flow of electrical current. Observe that Insulation resistance (IR) is
temperature sensitive. When the temperature goes up, IR goes down, and vice versa. Therefore,
to compare new readings with previous readings, you need to correct the readings to some base
temperature. Usually, 20°C or 40°C are used as comparison temperatures”.
The time resistance test is another method to measure insulation resistance. This method
is usually called the polarization index (PI) or the dielectric absorption ratio (DAR) test.
Throughout the testing process at least two readings must be noted and recorded.
“For a DAR test, it is typically the resistance measurement taken 30 seconds into the
test and the measurement taken one minute into the test. For a PI test, it is typically the
resistance measurement taken one minute into the test and the measurement taken 10 minutes
into the test. The ratio is then calculated by dividing the second reading by the first reading to
determine a ratio. The higher the ratio, the better the insulation.” The quality of insulation
depends on the results found.

“The step voltage test is designed to create electrical stresses on internal insulation cracks,
identifying potential problems that may not be revealed by testing at lower voltages. Insulation
that is thoroughly dry, clean, and in good physical condition should provide roughly the same
resistance measurements across the voltage range. If you observe a significant decrease in
resistance at higher voltage, your insulation may be contaminated or deteriorating.”

HVX 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.

Module
Drive unit
Essential features
■■ Single-shaft system with a single spiral spring for ON and OFF
■■ Optimum adaptation to the small contact travel of the vacuum interrupter chamber
■■ Minimum energy requirement
Description
Thanks to the use of modern vacuum interrupter chambers, vacuum
circuit-breakers make for an optimization of the entire drive kinematics.
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 reclosing 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 remote-controlled electrically or actuated via primary relays.

HVX Design (contd.)
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 causing 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
Pole section HVX 36 kV essentially, the switching device is tripped straight away.
Auxiliary switches
Auxiliary switches
Auxiliary switches are always actuated directly by the switch shaft via an
intermediate linkage, their position always corresponding 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
Pole section HVX 12 kV > 2500 A 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 circuit-breaker. The number of switching cycles can be used to draw
conclusions about the service life or the operating cycles.

HVX Transport
Transport
The HVX vacuum circuit-breakers are shipped with packaging. The
circuit-breaker‘s weight corresponds 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.
