General layout
HYpact consist of three separate gas

compartments
Each houses all switching
devices for one phase
Circuit breaker
Disconnector(s)
Earth switch(es)
Bushing current transformer

Placed around the disconnector
/ earth switch
Installed on two steel stands
General layout
Single cast design

Avoid not always used openings
Reduced number of sealings
and gaskets
Thus low leakage
Circuit breaker
Double motion principle ensures low stress, thus increased
reliability
Original design for dead tank circuit breakers
Double motion breaking chamber is used with several thousend circuit
breakers for more than ten years
Reduced energy requirement leads to increased reliability
E = m v
Circuit breaker
Circuit breaker dive mechanism from

ALSTOMs FK3-1 range

circuit breaker is closed
disconnector / earthing switch can only operate when the circuit
breaker is open
Cicuit breaker must not open or closed when the disconnector /
earthing switch is operating
Circuit breaker shall automatically close when the earth switchs
function is completed

HYpact maintenance cycle based on GIS-, not on AISdisconnector cycle
Due to compactness, HYpacts circuit breaker cannot be isolated with disconnectors
Conventional AIS disconnectors also cannot be safely isolated without switching off HV
lines or busbars
Maintenance of conventional AIS disconnectors and earthing switched required after
several years, after every short circuit
With HYpact, conventional AIS disconnectors and earthing switches become obsolete,
thus no frequent DS/ES maintenance required anymore
HYpact disconnectors and earthing switches are based on GIS technology
Long maintenance cycles as of GIS reached

Inspection
Visual inspection on occasional base during station tours, latest after 6
years
Corrosion
SF6 gas pressure
Ventilation ports and heating system
Maintenance
Every 12 years
Gas quality
Cable joints and connecting linkages
Function of electric control circuits
Operation time
Contact resistance
Reconditionning (normal service conditions)

After 2.500-3000 operations at rated normal current or
After a total current, i.e. 15 x rated breaking current
