SF6 Dead Tank General Questions1. There is a variant where the 3 tanks are connected and should have only one Medium, right?2. Should a heater be modeled off each tank if it exists?3. Confirming that it makes sense to associate BreakerMechanism to each InterrupterUnit and not to whole breaker…. To remain parallel to 3 mechanism situation, right?4. Assume no need to model bushing CT apart from bushing?5. Assume no need to model control cabinet?

SF6 Live Tank Examples (of types different from sample templates) Example templates provided

· 1 or 2 SF6-filled interrupter chamber(s) in top insulator(s) of insulator column, where one to four insulator columns can be used per pole, with interrupters in series.

SF6 Live Tank Questions1. Are there heaters on SF6 live tank breakers? Should they be modeled off each interrupterUnit if they exist?2. Assume single InterrupterUnit class is sufficiently close for both SF6 dead tank and live tank (and bulk and minimum oil and air blast)? 3. Assume that Mechanism relationship to InterrupterUnit should be like SF6 dead tank?4. Assume answer to control cabinet modeling question same as SF6 dead tank?5. Does it makes sense to model Medium on these breakers? Some of what I’ve read indicates that some models are essentially sealed at manufacture. If we use Medium, does it associate with the InterrupterUnit or the insulating stack assembly? 5. Is insulatingStackAssembly or insulatingColumnAssembly a better .type? (same for air blast circuit breaker and minimum oil)6.There are never more than 2 breaks on an insulating stack, right?7. There is no reason (or place) to model a relationship on SF6 live tank breakers that reflects the moving / fixed contact, right?8. What is the maximum number of insulating stacks?

Air Blast Circuit Breaker Variants

Air Blast Examples (of types different from sample templates) Example templates provided

Air Blast Circuit Breaker· 132 kV –700 kV· Insulator stacks provide electrical

isolation, pressurized air provides arc-extinguishment

· 1 or 2 air-filled interrupter chamber(s) in top insulator(s) of insulator column, where one to ten insulator columns can be used per pole, with interrupters in series.

Air Blast Questions1. Does it makes sense to model Medium on these breakers? If we use Medium, does it associate with the InterrupterUnit or the base or a reservoir?

It seems that air blast breakers with multiple stack assemblies/pole don’t have only one interrupter on the stack. Is this true?

Assume all interrupters on same pole have same mechanism, regardless of insulating stack?

Is identification of relative position of single pole assemblies meaningful?
