1.1General
Thevacuumcircuit-breakersof type VD4 on with-drawable
partsfor36kVor40.5kVratedvoltageareintendedfor
indoorinstallationinair-insulatedswitchgearsystems.Their
switching capacityissufficienttohandleany conditions arising
fromswitchingofequipmentandsystemcomponentsunder
normaloperatingandfaultconditions, particularlyshort-
circuits,withintheparametersoftheirtechnicaldata.
Vacuumcircuit-breakershave particular adswitching frequency
intheworking currentrange and/or whereacertainnumber
of short-circuit breaking operationsareexpected. TypeVD4
vacuumcircuit-breakersaresuitablefor auto-reclosing,and
have exceptionallyhigh operating reliabilityand long life.
Thevacuumcircuit-breakersdesignedincolumnform,are
suppliedas withdrawablemodules. Theirbasicstructureis
shown infigures 3/1,3/2,3/7and 3/8.
1.2Standards and specifications
1.2.1Switchgearmanufacture
The switchgear complies withthe following specifications in
accordancewithGB,IEC andthe relevantDINVDE
publications respectively.
GB/T11022,IEC62271-1and DINVDE 0670part 1000,
"Commonspecificationsforhighvoltageswitchgearand
controlgearstandards".
GB1984 and IEC62271-100,"High-voltagealternating-
currentcircuit-breakers".
1.2.2Installation and operation
Therelevantspecificationsaretobetaken intoaccountduring
installation and operation,particularly:
IEC 61936-1, Electricaldevices withrated voltage above
AC 1kV

1.3.2Specialoperatingconditions
Specialoperatingconditionsaretobeagreed on by the
manufactureranduser. Themanufacturer must beconsulted
inadvanceabouteach specialoperating condition:
Sitealtitudeover1000 m:
Allow forthe reduction inthe dielectricstrengthof the
air.
Increased ambienttemperature:
Currentcarrying capacityisreduced.
Provide additionalventilationforheatdissipation.
Climate:
Avoidthe riskofcorrosion orotherdamage inareas:
○withhigh humidityand/or
○withmajorrapidtemperaturefluctuations.
Implementpreventive measures (e.g.electricheaters)
toprecludecondensation phenomena.
