Introduction

The R-MAGTM is truly the next generation in medium

voltage vacuum circuit breaker technology. ABB is the

first to combine the unique benefits of vacuum interrupter

technology with a magnetic actuator designed to exploit

these capabilities. Using a flux-shifting device with integral

permanent magnets, the R-MAG mechanism has only

one moving part. With simple open and close coils, an

electronic controller and capacitors for energy storage,

the R-MAG circuit breaker mechanism is capable of 10,000

load operations. These are a few of the features that

mark a departure from the conventional spring-operated

mechanism, introducing new capabilities and benefits for a

smarter distribution system.

ABB makes safety our first priority by employing magnetic actu-

ators to eliminate maintenance on coils, motors, and mechani-

cally charged springs.

R-MAG benefits include:

− Simple, less frequent maintenance

− Rated for 10,000 full load operations (five times ANSI

requirements)

− No maintenance required on magnetic actuator

− Plug & play actuator circuitry

− Vacuum interrupters rated for 30,000 full load operations

− Increased reliability

− Magnetic actuator has only one moving part

− No spring charging motors to replace

− No trip/close coils to replace

− Less moving parts leads to less maintenance

R-MAG increased performance

− 2,000 operations between servicing vs 500 operations bet-

ween servicing - ANSI C37.06-2000 requirements

− 10,000 mechanical or load operations vs 2,000 no-load me-

chanical operations - ANSI C37.06-2000 requirements)

− No maintenance required on magnetic actuator

− Eliminates open/close coils in motor and stored spring me-

chanism lubrication requirements

The R-MAG has three main components:

− Vacuum interrupter assembly

− Operating mechanism

− Provides reliable operation even after extended periods of

inactivity

− Electronic control board

− Compatible with all forms of overcurrent, reclosing and

control functions

− Up to 40 operations at maximum interrupting rating

− Definite purpose rated – ANSI C37.06

− One of the largest vacuum interrupter producers in the world

− Environmentally friendly and maintenance-free for life

− ABB vacuum interrupters are used in many products globally

Magnetic actuator

ABB has utilized magnetic actuators since 1997. One global

team is dedicated to designing magnetic actuators for ABB

products, including R-MAG breakers.

− 15 kV rated at 100,000 mechanical operations

− 38 kV rated at 50,000 mechanical operations

− One moving part

− No maintenance required

Magnet life expectancy

Developments in magnetic material technology allow the mag-

netic actuator to be highly reliable over long life time. Reduction

in magnetic flux density is less than 1% over 100 years at

248 °F (120 °C).

A magnetic actuator has one moving part and requires no maintenance.

A spring charged mechanism has over 300 total parts (many moving parts) and requires periodic maintenance.


Magnetic flux density distribution representation during a

magnetic actuator opening operation

All operating mechanism functions are integrated in the mag-

netic actuator of the R-MAG circuit breaker. The actuator is a

bistable magnet system, in which armature change-of-state is

accomplished by the magnetic field of two electrically excited

coils. The armature is held magnetically in the limit positions by

the fields of two rare-earth permanent magnets. Switching ope-

rations are achieved by excitation of one of the two coils until

the retaining force of the permanent magnets is exceeded.

Even after complete failure of the auxiliary power, the energy

stored in the capacitors will allow electrical operation for 200

seconds. In the event of complete loss of control power, the

circuit breaker can be tripped manually.

The armature of the magnetic actuator is linked to an operating

shaft connected via insulated push rods to each of the vacuum

interrupters.

Lower power consumption electronic control board with flexible voltage range and alarms control the R-MAG magnetic actuator.

Advantages of electronic controls

− Flexibility of control voltages

− Consistency of operation utilizing capacitor energy

− Built in trip & close coil features

− Built in breaker status indication

− Coil protection

− Ready and not ready alarm

Flexibility of control voltages

− Two control boards cover all control power requirements:

− Low voltage: 17 - 75 VDC or 21 - 52 VAC

− High voltage: 77 - 280 VDC or 85 - 264 VAC

− Control board is independent of AC or DC

− 1 control board covers 120 VAC, 125 VDC, 240 VAC

application

− Ability to test a 125 VDC breaker with 120 VAC

− Low power requirements - 93 watt normal (41 watt power

optional)

− Less than 1A at 125 VDC during capacitor charging

(7 seconds)

− Plug & play removal & installation of control board assembly

− Easy board conversion between low and high control

power requirements

− Eliminates changing of trip and close coils, motors

− Increased safety

− Wide range of input voltages

− Minimizes damage from voltage spikes or higher charging

voltages

Consistency of operation utilizing capacitor energy

− Smaller battery system - can be minimal since there is no

high instantaneous load on charging, closing or tripping

− Voltage drop is not an issue when running control power

from battery system (smaller wiring can be used)

− Operate multiple breakers simultaneously

− Sufficient energy to operate multiple breakers from station

batteries simultaneously

− Constant energy source

− Energy for closing and tripping is constant (regardless of

station battery voltage) thus closing and opening speed

are consistent

Using capacitors for stored energy

− The 0.1 Farad Electrolytic capacitors are designed to be ope-

rated in the temperature range of -40 °F to 185 °F

(-40 °C to 85 °C)

− Extreme temperature option also available:

-67 °F to 221 °F (-55 °C to 105 °C)

− Recommended capacitor replacement

− 20 years for an average yearly temperature (in the outdoor

breaker enclosure) of less than 122 °F (50 °C)

− 15 years for tropical climates

Built in breaker status indication

Unit ready and not ready output contacts will provide an alarm

under the following conditions:

− Drop off auxiliary supply voltage

− Low voltage on capacitor

Capacitor vs number of operations

− Open-close-open: 78 V

− Close-open: 72.5 V

− Cannot close breaker without sufficient energy to trip

− Open: 49 V
