Service safety
Thanks to the complete range of mechanical and electrical
locks (available on request), it is possible to construct safe

The locking devices have been studied to prevent incorrect
operations and to inspect the installations whilst guaranteeing
maximum operator safety.
Key locks or padlock devices enable opening and closing
operations and/or racking in and racking out.
The racking-out device with the door closed allows the circuit-
breaker to be racked into or out of the switchgear only with

Anti-racking-in locks prevent circuit-breakers with different
rated currents from being racked in, and the racking-in and

Standard fittings of fixed circuit-breakers
The basic versions of the fixed circuit-breakers are three-pole
and fitted with:
– EL type manual operating mechanism
– mechanical signalling device for closing springs charged/
discharged
– mechanical signalling device for circuit-breaker open/closed
– closing pushbutton, opening pushbutton and operation
counter
– set of ten auxiliary circuit-breaker break/make contacts
Note: with the group of ten auxiliary contacts supplied as standard and the
maximum number of electrical applications, three break contacts (signalling
circuit-breaker open) and five make contacts (signalling circuit-breaker
closed) are available.
– lever for manually charging the closing springs
– auxiliary circuit support terminal board.

Standard fittings of withdrawable circuit-breakers – locking electromagnet in the truck (compulsory for ABB
for UniGear ZS1, ZS2 switchgear and similar panels switchgear). This device prevents racking the circuit-breaker
into the switchgear with the auxiliary circuits disconnected
The basic versions of the withdrawable circuit-breakers are
(plug not inserted in the socket)
three-pole and fitted with:
– door interlock (compulsory for ABB switchgear); this device
prevents racking the circuit-breaker into the switchgear
when the switchgear door is open.
discharged
– closing pushbutton
– opening pushbutton
– operation counter
– set of ten circuit-breaker open/closed auxiliary contacts
circuit-breaker open) and four make contacts (signalling circuit-breaker closed)
are available.
– isolating contacts
– cord with connector (plug only) for auxiliary circuits, with
striker pins which does not allow the plug to be inserted
into the socket if the rated current of the circuit-breaker is
lower than the rated current of the panel
– racking-out/in lever (the quantity must be defined according
to the number of pieces of apparatus ordered)

21 STU Shunt Test Unit The control/monitoring Shunt Test Unit allows the continuity
of releases with a rated operating voltage between 24 V and
250 V (AC and DC) to be checked, as well as the functionality
of the electronic circuit of the release.
Checking continuity is carried out cyclically with an interval of
20 seconds between one test and the next.
The unit has optical signals by means of LEDs on the front. In
particular the following information is indicated:
– POWER ON: power supply present
– (-MO) TESTING: test being carried out
– TEST FAILED: signal following a failed test or in the absence
of auxiliary power supply
– ALARM: signal after three failed tests.

Two relays and a changeover are also available on board the
unit, which allow remote signalling of the following two events:
– failure of a test (resetting is carried out automatically when

3. Specific product characteristics
Resistance to vibrations Galvanisation is carried out in accordance with UNI ISO 2081
Standards, classification code Fe/Zn 12, with a thickness of
12x10-6 m, protected by a conversion layer mainly consisting
of chromates in compliance with the UNI ISO 4520 Standard.
These construction characteristics mean that the whole VD4
series of circuit-breakers and its accessories comply with
climate graph 8 of the IEC 60721-2-1 and IEC 60068-2-2
(Test B: Dry Heat / IEC 60068-2-30 (Test Db: Damp Heat,
cyclic) Standards.
Altitude

The VD4 circuit-breakers are designed to satisfy high levels of
resistance to stresses caused by mechanical vibrations.
Many versions are able to satisfy both the approval criteria of the
major International Shipping Registers (DNV, Lloyd’s Register,
www.nepsi.com
RINA) and the qualification criteria of the International Seismic
Standards (IEEE 344, IEEE 323 and IEC 60980).
For the versions approved by the shipping registers, please
contact us.
Tropicalization The insulating property of air decreases as the altitude

increases, therefore this must always be taken into account
for external insulation of the apparatus (the internal insulation
of the interrupters does not undergo any variations as it is
guaranteed by the vacuum).
The phenomenon must always be taken into consideration
during the design stage of the insulating components of
apparatus to be installed over 1000 m above sea level.
In this case a correction coefficient must be considered,
which can be taken from the graph on the next page, built up
on the basis of the indications in the IEC 62271-1 Standards.
The following example is a clear interpretation of the
indications given above.
VD4 circuit-breakers are manufactured in compliance with

the strictest regulations regarding use in hot-humid-saline
climates.
All the most important metal components are treated against
corrosive factors according to UNI EN 12500 Standards
environmental class C.

Graph for determining the Ka correction factor according to the altitude
kA
Example 1,50
• Installation altitude 2000 m

m=1
• Operation at the rated voltage of 12 kV
Ka = e m (H – 1000)/8150
• Withstand voltage at power frequency 28 kV rms 1,40
• Impulse withstand voltage 75 kVp
• Ka factor obtained from graph = 1.13.
Considering the above parameters, the apparatus will have to 1,30
withstand (under test and at zero altitude, i.e. at sea level):

– withstand voltage at power frequency equal to:
28 x 1.13 = 31.6 kVrms

1,20
– impulse withstand voltage equal to:
75 x 1.13 = 84.7 kVp.
1,10
From the above, it can be deduced that for installations at an altitude
of 2000 m above sea level, with 12 kV service voltage, apparatus
must be provided with 17.5 kV rated voltage, characterised by

H = altitude in metres;
m = value referred to power frequency and the lightning impulse withstand
voltages and those between phases.
Anti-pumping device
The EL operating mechanism of VD4 circuit-breakers
(in all versions) is fitted with a mechanical anti-pumping
device which prevents re-closing due to either electrical or
mechanical commands.
Should both the closing command and any one of the
opening commands (local or remote) be active at the same
time, there would be a continuous succession of opening and
closing commands.
The anti-pumping device avoids this situation, ensuring
that each closing operation is only followed by an opening
operation and that there is no other closing operation
after this. To obtain a further closing operation, the closing
command must be released and then re-launched.
Furthermore, the anti-pumping device only allows circuit-
breaker closure if the following conditions are present at the
same time:
– operating mechanism spring fully charged
– opening pushbutton and/or shunt opening release
(-MO1/-MO2) not activated
– circuit-breaker open.
