GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Figure - 1.1
1.1 Introduction
The Autometers vacuum circuit breaker (VCB) type VCBA25.10Tr is a single phase 25kV
AC circuit breaker used to protect power circuit for applications on electric locomotives and
electric multiple units (EMUs). This device is used as a line circuit breaker to close and open
the power circuit and also to break the circuit under overload, short circuit conditions or any
other abnormal working conditions defined and implemented for the application.
This device is intended for installation on the roof of a traction vehicle. The design and
implementation of this circuit breaker are perfectly adapted to the requirements and working
conditions of electric traction and service condition on Railways.
It offers:
Compact design
Long lifespan
Reduced maintenance
1.2 Construction
Figure - 1.2
The vacuum circuit breaker comprises three main parts which are:
3. The lower part with the electro-pneumatic and the auxiliary circuit (LT).
A vacuum switch tube (VST), which houses the main switching contacts
To a shafting head (TR), which converts the vertical movement of the drive system into
horizontal movement? One of the electrical connections (HT) is mounted on this
conductive part
A rear flange (B) which closes and seals the horizontal insulator and carries the second
electrical connection (HT).
A vacuum switch tube moving contact is fitted with pushed screw, flexible shunts to carry
the current from moving contact to shafting head. Spring box houses the contact springs
and operating cam to transfer the vertical motion into Horizontal direction.
Serves to isolate the upper part (HT) from the lower part (LT) i.e. it isolates the vehicle roof,
which is earthed with the high tension part of the circuit breaker.
It comprises:
A vertical insulator (VI) supporting the upper part and fixed to base plate (E) which is
mounted on the vehicle roof by means of 6nos. M12 hex screws. The lifting hooks 4nos.
are fitted in this base plate permanently.
To ensure waterproof sealing between traction vehicle roof and the base plate of circuit
breaker, an o-ring is provided.
An insulating drive rod (T) is connected between operating mechanism of vacuum switch
tube and drive mechanism.
This is inside the vehicle in a protection cover (PC) which includes the control and the drive
mechanism which consists of:
It comprises:
It comprises:
Piston (K) which is guided inside the cylinder to transfer the movement to
insulating drive rod
Spring system (RS/CS) provided to keep the circuit breaker in open position.
Non-return valve (N) is fitted with air cylinder for exhaust throttling.
It comprises:
Polarized circular connector (LT) for fail safe connection to the electrical circuit of
the vehicle.
Auxiliary switch (AS) which changes its status depending on the circuit breaker
position. Auxiliary switch is configurable and is of proven fish bone type.
Auxiliary switch drive (AD) mechanism which is linked with the drive rod (T).
1.3 Operation
The method of operation of the circuit breaker is described in the following different
sequences:
Figure - 1.3
Figure - 1.4
Movement of the closing piston (K), the insulating rod (T) and the moving contact
(MC) along horizontal distance (X).
Exerting extra pressure on the contact pressure spring (CPS) for desired contact
pressure.
Figure - 1.5
De-energisation of EP valve solenoid coil results into changes in the status of the
valve.
Air supply from air tank is blocked and exhausts port open of the EP valve.
The compressed springs release their store energy which acts as returning force
to the piston.
Start of return of piston stroke through above mentioned action ensures safe
opening of the contacts.
Figure - 1.6
The piston is accelerated by the release of the air pressure and release of
contact pressure springs stored energy.
The air displaced by the piston escapes fast via exhaust port of electro-
pneumatic valve (EP).
The arc caused by the opening of the contacts is extinguished by the vacuum
inside the vacuum switch tube.
Just before the end of piston travel, the piston travel is cushioned by the function
of non-return valve (N).
Figure - 1.7
Figure - 1.8
The vacuum switch tube comprises two copper alloy contacts, one fixed and the other
moving.
The fixed contact is mounted on a metal flange which carries the ceramic outer cover of the
chamber.
The ceramic cover is generally in two parts with a metal screen fixed between them. This
screen protects the ceramic parts against deposition of metallic vapor produced by the arc
when the contacts open.
The moving contact travels in a guide who assures its axial positioning and correct angle.
Sealing of the moving contact is assured by a metal bellows which is welded both to it and to
the end flange which is integral with the external cover. A metal screen is also provided
around the bellows as per Figure-1.9.
Figure - 1.9
According to Paschen’s law, the voltage applied between contacts in a vacuum varies as a
function of the gas pressure and the distance between the contacts. The graph shows the
variation in voltage as a function of the vacuum for an inter-contact distance of 16mm. The
minimum value guaranteeing a sufficient vacuum to assure rupture of the arc must be
greater than 30kV.

1.9 Electrical
The breaking capacity depends on the rated operating voltages. The VCB also breaks low
currents.
Voltage surges caused when the transformer's load is removed depend very much on the
characteristics of the transformer and of the installation. Measurements on the vehicle allow
the level of over voltage harmful to the vehicle electrical circuit to be defined. These should
be as close as possible to the transformer in order to avoid propagation of over voltage in
cables.

Mechanical, electrical and operating conditions are specified by Routine Test and Type Test.
Permissible voltage variations for control of auxiliaries are defined according to IEC 60077,
namely -30% to +25% of rated battery voltage.
The circuit breaker is equipped with a reservoir assuring a volume of air in reserve for one
closure of the circuit breaker.
The pressure in this reservoir is set to a constant value during the production test, in order to
guarantee dynamic operating conditions that are always identical.
The permissible pressure variation in vehicle supply pipe is from 4.5 to 10kg/cm². If the
supply pressure falls below the minimum recommended value for circuit breaker closure, a
pressure switch opens and prevents the circuit breaker from re-closing.
The VCB is designed to withstand along three axes according to IEC 60077.

With the supply circuit is under pressure; unscrew the wing screw (A) sufficiently to
allow the condensate to escape.
When the flow stops, retighten the wing screw (A) and check that there is no
leakage.
Close the circuit breaker isolating cock (in the main pipe) and release the
pressure in the reservoir.
Once the pressure has fully dropped, completely unscrew the plug (B) located
under the reservoir.
Gently open the isolating cock in the main pipe and allow air to blow out of the
open orifice until there is no longer any condensate in the air tank.
Close the isolating cock and screw in the plug (B) again.
Note: Care to be taken while draining; the condensate does not fall on other
electrical equipments.
Checking Sealing
After draining the pneumatic system of the circuit breaker, it is necessary to check the
sealing of connectors and check the condition of the flexible pipe, connected between the
main pipe of loco and the circuit breaker.
In order to define the state of the vacuum in the switch tube, it is necessary to carry out an
insulation test using vacuum tester. This device applies repetitive discharges of 40kV across
the terminals of the circuit breaker. For this reason, it is necessary to disconnect the
vehicle's high voltage (HT) connections to carry out the test.
Figure - 4.4
Test Procedure:
Disconnect the vehicle high voltage connections and move them as far as
possible away from the circuit breaker terminals.
Connect the crocodile clips on the high voltage cable (1) to the circuit breaker
terminals.
Ensure that the main switch (11) on the device is at "0" and connect the mains
cable (220V AC).
Check that the circuit breaker is in the "open" position (main contacts open) and
ensure that maintenance personnel are more than a meter away from the test
area.
Set the main switch on the tester (11) to "1" and the green indicator (5) should
glow.
Recommended tension Ue = 40 kV
Note: Disconnect the vehicle & remove high voltage connection to protect other
electrical equipments of locomotive.
Carry out the insulation test by turning the rotary knob (6) for 10 seconds. The
red indicator (2) flashes and the yellow indicator (3) should not glow.
If the yellow indicator (3) glows, the test must be performed again because the
test voltage supplied by the device is not sufficient.
If the green << Acceptable >> indicator (4) stays ON (glows) during the test, the
test is positive and the vacuum in the switch tube is considered to be acceptable.
If the red << Defective >> indicator (10) glows, then the vacuum in the switch
tube is not sufficient and the vacuum switch tube must be replaced.
When the test has finished, it is necessary to wait 30 seconds after having
opened the main switch (11) on the test device to be able to take the crocodile
clips off the circuit breaker terminals. For safety, take off a single clip and touch it
against the other one to get rid of any possible charges on capacitors. Put the
cables away in the test case.
(a) Unscrew the wing screw (A) sufficiently to allow the condensate to escape
(b) To open the regulator bowl (F), press the lever and rotate the bowl gently.
Inspection to be done:
Retighten the wing screw (A) and check there is no leakage and adjust pressure, if required.
