Description General Vacuum Circuit-Breaker 3AK7 from 7.2 to 17.5 kV – The Powerful in Compact Design Circuit-breakers must make and break all currents in the range of their ratings: From small inductive and capacitive load currents to high short-circuit currents. Thereby, they control all fault conditions in the network. Due to its high performance, the vacuum circuit-breaker 3AK7 is perfectly suitable for operating industrial applications and generators. The circuit-breaker can be used for load currents up to 4000 A, and is capable to break short-circuit currents up to 50 kA. Due to the...

Description Design and mode of operation The vacuum circuit-breaker consists of the pole assemblies (1) and the operating mechanism box (2). Each of the three pole assemblies is supported by its pole shell, which is fastened to the pole plate (7). The switching movement is transferred by means of operating rods (6). The vacuum switching technology, proven and fully developed for more than 40 years, serves as arc-quenching principle by using vacuum interrupters (4). One pole assembly (1) of the 3AK7 vacuum circuit-breaker consists of the upper interrupter support (3), the vacuum interrupter...

Description Construction and mode of operation, standards, maintenance-free design Releases A release is a device which transfers electrical commands from an external source, such as a control room, to the latching mechanism of the vacuum circuit-breaker so that it can be opened or closed. Apart from the closing solenoid, the maximum possible equipment is one shunt release and two other releases. For release combinations, refer to page 16. • The closing solenoid unlatches the charged closing spring of the vacuum circuit-breaker, closing it by electrical means. It is suitable for AC or DC...
