Siemens Energy has developed a device in which the isolating distance has been integrated in the SF6 gas compartment in order to reduce external environmental influences. The DCB (Disconnecting Circuit Breaker) is used as a circuit breaker and also as a disconnector – two functions combined in one device. An additional air-insulated earthing switch can be mounted onto the supporting structure for voltages up to 145 kV.
• Combination of circuit breaker and disconnector in one device
• No visible opening distance due to the SF6-insulated disconnector function
• Compact mechanical interlock which guarantees that the circuit breaker stays in the open position when used as a disconnector
• Position indicators for monitoring
• Optional air-insulated earthing switch (up to 145 kV)
• Highest reliability by applying well-proven and established components from Siemens circuit breakers and earthing switches
• Highest availability due to reduced maintenance interruptions
• Cost- and space-saving solution by combining two devices into one
• Minimized costs for transportation, maintenance, installation and commissioning, as well as civil engineering work
• Compact and intelligent interlocking and position indicating device for greater safety
• From a single source: documentation and technical support, assembly and installation, customer training, 24-hour service
