Circuit Switcher Type CPV2
72.5 - 245kV
Siemens CPV2 Circuit Switchers Siemens Type CPV2 (Circuit Protector Vertical) circuit switchers are ideal for applications that require 3 cycle circuit interruption and requires limited space . The CPV2 model provides space-saving, fast protection at an economical cost.
Operation of the CPV2 is controlled by a FA2 spring operator which is same as the operating mechanism used in the SPS2 SF6 Circuit Breakers worldwide. There are several reasons to specify and install the CPV2 Circuit Switcher: field proven design, robust construction, simple installation, minimal maintenance and low installed cost. The Siemens CPV2 can switch and protect transformers, cables, shunt capacitor banks and shunt reactors. It also provides a low cost, low temperature, high fault interrupting device. It has a consistent and fast operating time of 3 cycles with a high interrupting capability of up to 40kA.
The Siemens type CPV2 Circuit Switcher is ideal for space limited applications. In new or existing substations where sufficient room is not available to install a horizontal circuit switcher or a conventional SF6 dead tank circuit breaker. The vertical type CPV2 is also the preferred model for retrofit installations where a circuit switcher is recommended to replace an existing fault interrupting device.
Gas Monitoring Each pole unit is equipped with a manifold which incorporates a fill valve, a pressure gauge and rupture disc. This manifold is located at the lower end of the pole unit, connected to the cover assembly by a union coupling. The coupling allows the pressure gauge to be rotated by the user to provide the most satisfactory view from the ground.
The pressure gauge has a color coded face for ease of reading from a distance. A label showing a picture of the gauge and an operating pressure range versus ambient temperature is located on the door of the control cabinet.
For specific applications of the Siemens Type CPV2 Circuit Switcher, contact the nearest Siemens sales office.
Siemens exclusive!
As an option, the Siemens CPV2 Circuit Switcher can be equipped with a temperature compensated pressure switch to automatically monitor the SF6 gas status in the pole units. This switch with gauge is located inside the control cabinet and is connected to the pole units by stainless steel tubing. It has two sets of contacts. One set of contacts provides an alarm indication when the gas pressure approaches within 5 psi of the lockout value. The other set prevents operation if gas pressure falls to a level at which current interruption is not assured. The temperature compensating feature of the switch avoids alarms and lockouts due to normal pressure variations associated with local temperature changes.

Type FA2 Operating Mechanism
The type FA2 operator and necessary control and monitoring equipment are housed in a common cabinet. Large doors located on either side of cabinet are easily lifted from their hinges for unobstructed access to the cabinet interior.
The FA2 operating mechanism stores energy for use in closing the circuit switcher. This energy is stored by compressing a powerful spring. An electrical motor with an integral gear reduction set (called a gearmotor) is used to compress the operator spring. The purpose of storing the motor-supplied energy in the spring is to allow a rapid closing operation of the circuit switcher.
It takes about ten seconds for the gearmotor to

With the circuit switcher open, a close operation is initiated by energizing the gearmotor. The closing spring becomes fully compressed, and then discharges, closing the switcher and charging the opening spring.
The gearmotor is automatically de-energized.
The switcher is maintained in the closed position by a latch system in the operator. A trip operation is initiated by energizing a solenoid which releases the trip latch and allows the switcher to open.
Standard and Optional Features (Shown)

Interrupter Unit Arc-assist interrupter
The durable construction of the SPS2 circuit breaker includes the field proven 3AP arc-assist interrupter. Each interrupter consists of a stationary contact assembly and a moving contact assembly mounted inside a pole unit housing.
During the opening operation, the puffer action in the compression cylinder of the 3AP interrupter is sufficient for low current faults and switching operations. During high current interruptions, heat from the arc causes the pressure to rise in the heating volume chamber. The resulting high pressure gas from the heating volume extinguishes the arc.
This arc-assist technology, coupled with our FA2 up to 170kV, 40kA, FA4 for 50/63kA and all 245kV spring-stored, and FA5 on 550kV energy operator, assures that the components are subjected to less stress which results in optimal operating reliability.

Live-tank and Dead-tank Circuit Breakers Same technology for every application in two designs
Special technical features of live-tank design
On live-tank circuit breakers, the interrupter chamber is arranged in the insulator, which can be either porcelain or of a composite material, and is at high potential with the voltage level determining the length of the insulators for the interrupter chamber and the insulator column.
For higher voltage levels, several interrupter chambers series-connected on live-tank circuit breakers and installed on the insulator column.
The current transformers are arranged separately either in front of or behind the live-tank circuit breakers. As in live-tank circuit breakers, no fault currents can occur between the interrupter unit and the housing; only one current transformer per pole assembly is necessary.
A further feature of live-tank circuit breakers are the comparatively small gas compartments. The advantage of the low gas volume is that there is a reduction in the amount of gas maintenance work.
To ensure the safe operation of live-tank circuit breakers in seismic regions, the breakers can be mounted on anti-friction structures, a solution that has been tested up to 800kV and has proved its worth many times.
Special technical features of dead-tank design
The distinguishing feature of dead-tank technology is that the interrupter chamber is accommodated in an earthed metal housing. With this arrangement, the SF6 gas filling insulates the high voltage live parts of the contact assembly from the housing.
The connection to the high voltage is via a SF6 outdoor bushing.
The current transformers are mounted directly on the bushing, which eliminates the fastening devices and cabling required in the case of exterior mounting.
Dead-tank circuit breakers offer particular advantages if the protection design requires the use of several current transformers per pole assembly, such as for a typical American system. The possibility of being able to arrange current transformers in front of and behind the circuit breaker enables protection schemes to be met in a particularly cost-saving manner. Furthermore, it is relatively simple to retrofit the current transformers in the field.
As an additional advantage, dead-tank circuit breakers are particularly resistant to earthquakes due to their compact design and low center of gravity.
Both the live-tank and the dead-tank designs possess their own special features, and each design has its own particular advantages.
CPV2 Specification Longer operating life – Lower maintenance costs
In considering any circuit switcher, todayÕs utilities must be concerned not only with initial price and installation, but also with the ongoing costs of ownership. The Siemens CPV2 wins in every category. Its relatively low price tag, simple installation and easy maintenance will continue to pay dividends decades into the future.
In addition to the reliable performance you can expect from your CPV2 switcher, youÕll also find it can handle a number of special requirements, such as:
¥ Switching capacitors, cables and reactors
¥ Environmentally restricted sites requiring oil sumps
¥ System stability problems requiring three-cycle interrupting
¥ Reclosing duty without derating interrupting capability
¥ High contamination zones that require extra creep and low contamination weather shields
¥ High altitude application up to 10,000 feet without derating
