SDV-R non-arc-resistant and SDV-R-AR arc-resistant circuit breakers

SDV-R non-arc-resistant and SDV-R-AR arc-resistant circuit breakers

Product catalog summary
Introduction: The SDV-R™ non-arc-resistant and SDV-R-AR™ arc-resistant medium-voltage circuit breakers are part of Siemens' SDV outdoor distribution circuit breaker family. These breakers feature a mechanically-interlocked, fast-acting grounding switch, reducing project costs, physical footprint, and environmental impact. The arc-resistant option enhances operator safety, tested to IEEE C37.20.7, accessibility type 2B.
Features:
  • Ideal for renewable energy applications.
  • Fast switching time to ground, eliminating the need for grounding transformers.
  • Compatible with Siemens protective relays.
  • Reliable vacuum interrupters with a mean time to failure (MTTF) over 55,000 years.
  • Seismic qualification available for Zones 1-4.
  • Porcelain dry-type bushings with extended creep.
  • Optional 10-year warranty and UL Listing.
  • Comprehensive installation, commissioning, maintenance agreements, and 24/7 emergency services.
Technical Ratings:
  • Maximum voltage: 38 kV.
  • Short-circuit and short-time current: 25, 31.5, 40 kA.
  • Lightning-impulse withstand voltage: 200/258 kV.
  • Power-frequency withstand voltage: 80 kV.
  • Continuous current: 1,200, 2,000 A.
  • Interrupting time: 50 ms/3 cycles.
  • Transient recovery voltage peak: 71.7 kV.
  • Grounding switch short-time current: 12.5 kA.
Additional Ratings for SDV-R-AR:
  • Accessibility type 2B.
  • Internal arcing short-circuit current: 25, 31.5, or 40 kA.
  • Arcing duration: 0.5 seconds.
Dimensions and Weight: The SDV-R-AR arc-resistant model has specific dimensions and weighs 7,152.4 lbs (3,244 kg).

SDV-R non-arc-resistant and SDV-R-AR arc-resistant circuit breakers-1

SDV-R™ NON-ARC-RESISTANT AND SDV-R-AR™ ARC-RESISTANT Medium-voltage distribution The new types SDV-R™ non-arc-resistant and SDV-R-AR™ arc-resistant medium-voltage circuit breakers are an extension of the reliable SDV outdoor distribution circuit breaker family. They have an integral mechanically- interlocked, fast-acting grounding switch that can reduce total project cost, physical footprint, and environmental impact. Operator safety can be improved with the arc-resistant option tested to IEEE C37.20.7, accessibility type 2B. • Optimal solution for renewable energy applications • Fast switching time to ground, which limits transient voltage excursion to low levels, eliminates the need for grounding transformers saving installation and maintenance costs and physical space, and removes the risk of transformer oil spills • Pair with Sieemns protective relays to match any application • Time-proven stored-energy operator design tested to IEEE C37.09-2018 • Highly reliable vacuum interrupters with MTTF over 55,000 years Moderate and high seismic qualification (Zones 1-4) available Porcelain dry-type bushings with extended creep UL Listing will be available Installation and commissioning, maintenance agreements, aftermarket parts, and 24/7 emergency services.
