3AP1 FG 145 kV Circuit Breaker Environmental Product Declaration

Environmental Mission Statement Design for Environment Ecological design is nothing new at Siemens. The company published its in-house standard SN 36350 on environmentally compatible product design in 1993, and since then this standard has been an integral part of our product planning and development process. Among other things, it calls for use of separate and distinct material fractions, ease of disassembly, a reduction in the number of components per product, durability, low energy requirements during manufacture and day-to-day use, and the avoidance of hazardous substances. It also lists...

Product Description Circuit breakers are the central part of AIS and GIS switchgear. They have to meet high requirements in terms of: ■ Reliable opening and closing ■ Consistent quenching performance with rated and short-circuit currents even after many switching operations ■ Maintenance-free operating mechanisms Due to the consistent application of our modular design, the 3AP1 FG 145 kV circuit breaker is made using the same range of components as all Siemens circuit breakers, whether air- or gas-insulated, based on our well proven platform concept. One of these components is, for example, the...

This can be achieved either by reducing materials and material variety, or by usage of environmentally friendly...

Environmental and Quality Management All our circuit breakers are fully type-tested in accordance with the latest IEC 62271 and ANSI standards. The test laboratories that we work together with are accredited to EN 45001 and are part of the European network of independent testing organizations (PEHLA / KEMA / CESI). Our comprehensive quality system is certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001 and was implemented in 1989. It covers development, manufacturing, sales, commissioning and after-sales service. The Siemens high-voltage business unit has been certified according to DIN EN ISO 14001 since...
