Introduction
The type SDV7 family is the latest
generation of the successful type SDV
product line.
Ratings have been expanded, along with
introduction of an option for a magnetic-
actuator operator, as an alternate to the
standard stored-energy operator. An option
for arc-resistant construction, tested to
ANSI/IEEE C37.20.7 requirements for
accessibility type 2B, is also available.
The magnetic actuator is adapted to the
basic high-voltage support structure of the
type SDV7 stored-energy operator version.
The magnetic-actuator design has been
qualified with full short-circuit tests to the
same performance levels as with the stored-
energy operator design.
The type 3AH35-MA magnetic actuator
operator employs long-life, rare-earth
permanent magnets to provide the closing
force needed for the worst-case closing and
latching duty, in combination with the basic
kinematic structure used with the entire
type SDV7 family for opening operations.
The magnetic actuator employs an
electronic controller to provide power to
close the circuit breaker, as well as to supply
the energy to open the circuit breaker.
The type 3AH35-SE stored-energy operator
is derived from the highly reliable type 3AH
family of operators, with over 30 years of
design heritage.
With over 10,000 type SDV circuit breakers
and 350,000 type 3AH operators in service,
you can rely on Siemens products to meet
your distribution system demands.
The type SDV7 family now includes an
option for arc-resistant construction. The
arc-resistant enclosure has been tested for
conditions of internal arcing in accordance
with ANSI/IEEE C37.20.7, for accessibility
type 2B. The arc-resistant design shares the
same footprint dimensions as the non-arc-
resistant design, for ease in application.
The design of the type SDV7 features
significant reduction in enclosure size; and,
consequently, in the overall footprint. The
type SDV7 product line encompasses the
voltage groups 15.5 kV, 27.6 kV and
38.0 kV. Each group is specifically designed
to optimize space and material for the
voltage class while retaining common
features across the entire product line.

Vacuum interrupters
The heart of the medium-voltage circuit
breaker is the time-proven Siemens vacuum
interrupter. Siemens vacuum interrupters
use chrome-copper contact material, which
keeps the chopping current to five amperes
or less and thereby keeps overvoltages to a
minimum.
The contact configuration employs axial-
magnetic field geometry to maintain the arc
in diffuse mode and minimize contact
erosion, and provide a capability of up to
100 full-rated fault interruptions (depending
on rating) before replacement is necessary.
A contact-wear indicator is provided to
directly determine the wear of the contacts
within the vacuum interrupter.
Simple current path
The type SDV7 configuration is extremely
simple. The vacuum interrupters are located
so that the connections between bushings
and vacuum interrupters are short and
direct. The current path uses a flexible shunt
connection between the vacuum interrupter
moving contact and the adjacent bushing
terminal, rather than using sliding contacts
or other moving elements in the current
circuit.
The type SDV7 distribution circuit breaker
enclosure includes bolted, hinged doors on
the front and rear of the high-voltage
compartment, as well as hinged, latched
doors for the operator compartment as well
as the relay and control compartment.
Access to internal components, whether
high voltage or low voltage, is very
convenient.
Low-maintenance requirements
The vacuum interrupter is a sealed unit so
the only maintenance typically required on
the interrupter is to remove contaminants
and check the vacuum integrity. The
vacuum interrupters can be disconnected
from the operating mechanism quickly,
without tools, to check vacuum integrity.
Other maintenance requirements on the
circuit breaker include lubrication of moving
parts and cleaning of insulation, at
recommended intervals of five years or
10,000 operations.
Enclosure
The configuration of the circuit breaker is
very compact, resulting in a small footprint,
allowing the SDV7 circuit breaker to fit into
many existing installations that earlier
design circuit breakers could not.
The enclosure is robust, with the adjustable
legs located at the corners of the enclosure
rather than recessed under the enclosure.
Ground pads are stainless steel pads welded
on diagonally opposite corners of the
enclosure, a better arrangement than
designs that incorporate the ground pads
into removable legs. All exterior hardware,
hinges, and latches are stainless steel for
long life.

Type 3AH35-SE stored-energy operator
The type 3AH35-SE circuit breaker operator
is a durable and reliable stored-energy
mechanism. This operator is designed to
perform up to 10,000 operations before
overhaul, and the basic operator in the 3A
family has a mean time before failure
(MTBF) of over 23,000 years (as of 2014).
The type 3A operator family has over
1,000,000 units in service worldwide in
vacuum circuit breakers. Over 120,000 type
3AH3 operators are in service.
Improvements in the operator have been
incorporated to enhance service life and
simplify maintenance.
Newer lubricants and alternative bearing
materials have been selected to reduce the
chance for interaction between the
lubricants and the metals to ensure long
service life. Mounting provisions for devices,
such as the opening latch, closing latch and
similar items, are designed for one-person
removal and installation.
Reusable spring clips are used for pivot pins,
avoiding the need for special removal tools
or a supply of special purpose retainers
during maintenance.
The spring charging mechanism is a gear-
drive design. Compared to a ratchet-and-
pawl mechanism, the type 3AH35 operator
is quieter and exhibits longer mechanical
life.
The type 3AH35-SE stored-energy operator
includes provisions for manual operation,
such as during maintenance. The closing
spring can be manually charged with a
spring-charging crank. The spring-charging
crank includes a coupling that automatically
disengages in the event that the spring-
charging motor begins to operate.
The operating mechanism also includes
pushbuttons for manually closing or
opening the circuit breaker. The buttons are
recessed to avoid inadvertent operation.
The estimated total mechanical endurance
of the operator is 60,000 operations with
overhaul and vacuum interrupter
replacement at 10,000 operation intervals.
The entire type SDV7 family, from 15.5 kV
through 38.0 kV, uses the same basic type
3AH35 operating mechanism. The operators
differ only in elements related to the design
voltage or interrupting rating of the circuit
breaker.
The components that differ according to
rating include: the main rotating shaft,
contact pressure springs, closing spring,
opening spring and pushrods, as well as the
high-voltage elements, such as the
interrupter, standoff insulators and similar
items.

Type 3AH35-MA magnetic-actuator
operator
The type SDV7 distribution circuit breaker is
available with a magnetic-actuator operator.
The basic configuration of the circuit
breaker is the same as for the stored-energy
version, including the high-voltage
elements and the vacuum interrupters, with
only the operating mechanism replaced.
The type 3AH35-MA magnetic-actuator
operator employs rare-earth magnets
(neodymium-iron-boron) to maintain a
stable CLOSED position, in combination with
an electromagnetic coil structure to change
from the OPEN position to the CLOSED
position. The magnetic actuator uses a
single coil design, providing a stable OPEN
and a stable CLOSED position without
supplemental energy input. The electronic
controller provides a substantial current to
the electromagnetic coil for closing
operation, so that the electromagnetic force
adds to the magnetic force provided by the
rare-earth magnets.
For opening, only a modest electromagnetic
force is needed, in the reverse direction, to
offset the magnetic force provided by the
rare-earth magnets. In effect, the
electromagnetic force cancels the magnetic
force during opening operations.
The force for opening primarily is provided
by the contact pressure springs on each
phase (not shown) with an assist from the
opening spring. The opening spring is the
same as used on the stored-energy version,
and its primary function is to provide the
force to oppose the force of atmospheric
pressure on the vacuum interrupter bellows,
which would otherwise cause the contacts
of the open circuit breaker to close.
The field diagrams of the magnetic actuator
illustrate the combined magnetic and
electromagnetic field conditions in the
various circuit breaker positions.
Magnetic-actuator electronic controller
The operation of the magnetic actuator is
controlled by an electronic module. The
electronic module receives power from a
24 Vdc power supply, stores energy in
capacitors on several printed circuit boards,
and provides a variety of functions,
including:
Closing, upon remote (or relay) command
or from local pushbutton
Opening, upon remote (or relay)
command or from local pushbutton
Capacitor control, including charging,
monitoring, and periodic condition
checking.
The electronic controller allows for circuit
breaker reclosing according to the standard
reclosing duty sequence in ANSI/IEEE
C37.04, O – 0.3 s – CO – 15 s – CO. The
capacitors used to power circuit breaker
opening and closing actions recharge
following operations as follows:
After a C operation ≈ 10 s
After an O operation ≈ 2-5 s
After a CO operation ≈ 12-15 s.
When first energized, the capacitors require
approximately 35 s to obtain full charge.
The electronic controller is designed for
harsh environments and long life. The
estimated life of the electronic controller is
approximately 20 years with an ambient
environment outside the circuit breaker
enclosure of 50 °C or less.
In an environment less harsh than this, the
expected life is well in excess of 20 years.
The capacitors used have a life expectancy
of 45 years with an ambient environment at
the capacitors of 70 °C (3% of total hours),
50 °C (40% of total hours), with the
remaining 57% of total hours in an ambient
of 40 °C or less. In an environment less
harsh than this, the expected life is well in
excess of 45 years.

The capacitor boards are generously sized,
with energy storage above the level needed
to operate the circuit breaker. In fact, the
system is able to open and close the circuit
breaker if as much as 20% of the capacitors
are disabled.
The capacitors have reserve energy such
that the circuit breaker can be electrically
opened using the pushbuttons on the
operator for at least 300 seconds after
control power is lost.

The power supply for the electronics circuits
accommodates a wide range of input
voltages. The high-range power supply
accepts any voltage in the range of 110 Vac
to 240 Vac or 110 Vdc to 250 Vdc. The low-
range power supply accepts voltage in the
range of 28 Vdc to 56 Vdc..
Electrical close and open commands operate
through binary inputs, with the high-range
command input version requiring input of at
least 68 Vac or 68 Vdc for operation, while
the low-range command input version
requires input of at least 17 Vac or 17 Vdc
for operation.

Automatic monitoring
The electronic controller includes
monitoring and self-test functions, among
which are these:
Failure to close on command
(after 100 ms)
Excessive coil current
Capability of capacitors
Initial charging of capacitors on
energization
Periodic charging test cycle to verify
energy storage capacity
(performed weekly)
Power supply (24 Vdc) failure
Overcharging of capacitors
(excess voltage)
Coil circuit integrity
Interlock check (lockout).
The electronic controller also maintains a
log, which includes details of the last 32
operations and results of capacitor
capability tests.
Built-in fast-discharge circuit for
capacitors
The controller system design includes built-
in means to discharge the capacitors if
maintenance is to be performed. There is no
need for the user to provide jumper wires or
loading resistors to discharge the capacitors
– simply disconnect the plug between the
electronic controller board and the capacitor
boards, and the discharge circuit is
automatically enabled, discharging the
capacitors to a low level to enable
maintenance. The NEC (NFPA 70) requires
discharge to below 50 Vdc within five
minutes, but the system incorporated in the
type SDV7-MA magnetic actuator design
discharges to less than 5 Vdc in
approximately 90 seconds.
When control power is initially energized,
the controller executes a start-up routine,
after which charging of the capacitors
begins.
When control power is first applied, a green
LED on the power supply (item 7 on page 9)
is illuminated.
The controller includes LEDs to indicate the
energy status of the capacitor bank.

From complete discharge, approximately 25
seconds after control power is applied, a
yellow LED lights, and approximately 5 to 10
seconds later, the yellow LED goes off and a
green LED illuminates. The LEDs indicate
status as follows:
Green LED on power supply illuminated
(visible with operator cover removed)
indicates control power is available
Green LED (adjacent to pushbuttons)
illuminated indicates the operator is ready
and is capable of Open-Close-Open

Yellow LED (adjacent to pushbuttons)
illuminated indicates the operator is
capable of an Open operation
Red LED (adjacent to pushbuttons)
illuminated indicates error and the energy
is not sufficient for operation.
The controller includes output terminals
corresponding to the LEDs so that status can
be monitored from remote locations.
External manual trip handle
An external manual trip handle is provided
as standard on the type SDV7-MA and type
SDV7-MA-AR with magnetic-actuator
operator. The external manual trip handle
requires only a modest force to operate it,
and once the circuit breaker is opened, the
handle can be padlocked to provide a
lockout function and prevent closing of the
circuit breaker either by electrical means or
by manual means.

Arc-resistant enclosure option
The SDV7 family is available with an option
for arc-resistant construction.
For arc-resistant capability, the basic type
SDV7 enclosure is modified to include relief
openings, along with exhaust channels on
the sides of the enclosure to route the
exhaust gases associated with an internal
arcing event to the sides of the enclosure
and thence to exhaust flaps located on the
top of the side exhaust channels.
The modifications also include pressure-
actuated flaps to close ventilation openings
between the low-voltage compartments and
the high-voltage compartment when an
arcing event occurs.
The design has been successfully tested for
resistance to internal arcing in accordance
with ANSI/IEEE C37.20.7 for accessibility
type 2B. Accessibility type 2B means that a
degree of protection is provided on all four
sides of the enclosure, and this protection is
provided even if a low-voltage compartment
door is open. The rated arcing current is
equal to the rated short-circuit current of
the circuit breaker as shown on page 13,
and the rated arcing current duration is
0.5 s, in accordance with ANSI/IEEE
C37.20.7.
The basic enclosure dimensions and
footprint are unchanged from the non-arc-
resistant version, simplifying application.
The exhaust channels add to the overall
space occupied by the enclosure, as shown
in the dimensional figures on page 14.

On initial energization, power demand is
approximately 100 W, declining to approximately
20 W when capacitors are fully charged. When the
circuit breaker operates (open or close), power
demand again increases to approximately 100 W,
declining to approximately 20 W when capacitors
are fully charged.
