Introduction

The AZ100 Zirconia Oxygen Analyzer is a versatile system designed primarily for the OEM boiler and burner controls market.

The system is a low-temperature type designed to work in process temperatures up to 800 °C (1472 °F) and with a maximum sensor mounting flange temperature of 400 °C(752 °F).

The analyzer provides oxygen computation, with readout and retransmission, based on the probe mV output signal. The output signal (E mV) is Nernstian in form and follows the equation:

E (mv) = 0.0496T(log10 P0 / P1) ± CmV

Where:  T = Absolute temperature

P0 = Reference O2 partial pressure

P1 = Sample O2 partial pressure

C = Cell constant (mV zero offset)

0.0496 = Faraday’s gas constant

Probe design

The probe uses the proven and innovative ABB electrode and cell design technology which has been so reliable in other ABB zirconia probe designs.

The flexible probe design gives a range of intake tube lengths to suit all applications and an optional filter/flame arrester making it safe for use where groups IIB and IIC gases may occur in the process being measured. The probe has options of male thread NPT or BSPT mountings. As with all previous ABB designs of low temperature probes, the AZ100 probe is site-serviceable.

As the sensor housing is located on the outside of the duct wall, diffusion of reference air into the sensor housing is sufficient; thus eliminating the need for an air pump or instrument air supply.

The reference air diffuses into the housing through a porous membrane which restricts entry to air only and maintains the IP66 (NEMA 4X) protection.

Transmitter design

The transmitter has, as standard, high/low alarm relays and a single linear or logarithmic isolated retransmission. Display features include %O2. cell temperature, heater control output, cell mV, alarm set points, calibration sequence diagnostics and output settings.

At system startup the transmitter controls the level of power to the mains-powered heater within the probe to eliminate the risk of thermal shock to the sensor.

Based on the proven 4600 Series of transmitters, the AZ100 transmitters are environmentally protected to NEMA 4X (IP65)*, and meet the requirements EN61326 for industrial locations.

The AZ100 transmitters have a green, backlit LCD display and four tactile membrane switches for operation and programming. The measured value display is a 5-digit, 7-segment LCD, while the information display is a 16-character, single line, dot-matrix.

The information display can be user-programmed for display in English, French, German or Spanish.

Overview of the new VD4 Medium Voltage Circuit Breaker

The new VD4 Medium Voltage Circuit Breaker is the perfect combination of vacuum interrupter design and manufacturing technology with resin-embedded pole plates and technical excellence in circuit breaker design, engineering and production.

The VD4 medium voltage circuit breaker uses vacuum interrupters embedded in resin pole plates.

Embedding the interrupters in resin poles makes the circuit breaker poles particularly robust and protects the interrupters from shock, dust build-up and moisture.

A vacuum interrupter consists of a contact and an interrupting chamber.

Vacuum interrupters Vacuum circuit breakers do not require an interrupting and insulating medium. In fact, the interrupter chamber contains no ionisable material.

In any case, the arc generated when the contacts separate consists entirely of melted and vapourised contact material.

The arc is supported by external energy until the current disappears near its natural zero point.

At this point, the load density decreases rapidly and the metal vapour condenses rapidly, leading to an extremely rapid recovery of the dielectric properties.

The vacuum interrupter thus regains its insulating capacity and its ability to withstand transient recovery voltages, and the arc is finally extinguished.

Due to the high dielectric strength achieved in a vacuum even at short distances, circuit interruption is guaranteed when the contacts separate a few milliseconds before the current passes through the natural zero point.

The special geometry of the contacts and the materials used, as well as the limited duration of the arc and the low voltage

guarantees minimum wear and a long service life of the contacts. In addition, the vacuum prevents oxidation and contamination of the contacts.

Structure

The operating mechanism and the magnetic poles are fixed to a metal frame which also serves as a support for the fixed circuit breakers.

The compact construction ensures robustness and mechanical reliability.

In addition to isolating contacts for connecting auxiliary circuits and flexible cables with plugs, the

The tractable circuit breakers are also equipped with a www.cniacs.com bracket trolley for putting them into or taking them out of the switchgear or enclosure with the door closed.

Spiral geometry of ABB vacuum interrupter contacts

The special geometry of the helical contact generates a radial magnetic field in all areas of the arc column and concentrates it around the circumference of the contact.

Spontaneously generated electromagnetic forces acting in a tangential direction cause the arc to rotate rapidly around the contact axis.

This means that the arc is forced to rotate and involves a wider surface than a fixed contracting arc.

All this makes contact erosion negligible, except for minimising thermal stresses on the contacts.

Most importantly, the arc extinguishing process can be controlled even in the case of extremely high short circuits.

ABB vacuum interrupters are zero-current interrupters, www.cniacs.com which do not produce any re-strikes.

At zero current, the current charge is rapidly reduced and the metal vapour condenses, thus restoring the maximum dielectric strength between the interrupter contacts in microseconds.

VD4 circuit breakers have passed the following tests to ensure the safety and reliability of the equipment when used in any installation environment.

– Type tests: heating, industrial frequency withstand voltage insulation, lightning impulse withstand voltage insulation, short-time and peak withstand voltage current,

Mechanical life, short-circuit current generation and breaking capacity, no-load cable disconnection.

– Individual tests: main circuit insulation at working frequency voltage, insulation of auxiliary circuits and operating mechanisms, main circuit resistance measurement, mechanical and electrical operation.

Service safety

With a full range of mechanical and electrical locks (available on request), it is possible to build safe distribution switchgear with VD4 circuit breakers.

Locking devices have been studied to prevent incorrect operation and to check the device while maximising operator safety.

Keyed locking or padlocking devices enable switching and/or racking-in and racking-out operations.

Racking out with door closed devices allow the circuit breaker to be racked in or out of the switchgear only when the door is closed.

Anti-breaking locks prevent breaking in of circuit breakers with different current ratings, as well as breaking in operations when the breaker is closed.

ACCESSORIES

VD4 circuit breakers are available with a comprehensive range of accessories to meet all installation requirements.

The operating mechanism has a standardised range of accessories and spare parts which are easy to identify and order.

The accessories can be easily fitted from the front of the circuit breaker. Electrical connections are made using plug and socket connectors.

The equipment is simple to use, maintain and service with limited resource requirements.

Operating Mechanism

The operating mechanism of the VD4 circuit breaker is designed to be simple and easy to use, with a wide range of customised accessories for quick and easy installation.

This simplicity gives the equipment a higher degree of reliability.

The operating mechanism is of the energy storage type and is fitted as standard with an anti-pumping device with appropriate locks to prevent incorrect operation.

Brief Introduction

The SPAM150C Motor Protection Relay is a general purpose combination relay designed primarily for the protection of AC motors for a variety of applications.

It combines a large number of protection functions in one unit. The relay provides a complete set of protection against motor damage caused by various electrical faults.

The relay is also suitable for other equipment requiring thermal overload protection, such as cable or power transformer feeders.

Summary of Protection Functions

The relay thermal overload unit protects the motor against short- and long-term overloads. The maximum permissible continuous load depends on the setting value 1.

Normally this setting value is taken as the rated full www.cniacs.com load current (FLC) of the motor at an ambient temperature of 40°C. The motor can be overloaded for a short period of time if the motor is not loaded.

When the motor current increases to 1.05I under the above conditions, the thermal overload unit starts after a certain delay.

If the ambient temperature of the motor is below 40°C for a long period of time, the setting value I. can be set to .05…1.10 times the full load current (FLC) of the motor. 1.10 times.

The short-time overload phenomenon mainly occurs during the starting process of the motor. The motor is normally allowed to start twice under cold conditions and once under hot conditions.

One start is permitted under hot conditions, therefore, depending on the starting time of the motor, an integrating value t determining the characteristics of the thermal overload unit can be derived.

This value can be easily determined from the time/current graph in the hot state. t curve is selected from the starting current versus the corresponding starting time (with an appropriate margin).

The t-curve is selected from the starting current versus the corresponding starting time (with an appropriate margin). Using the same value of t, the total permissible starting time of the motor under cold conditions can be found from the cold curve.
