Circuit Breaker LTB D 72.5 - 170 KV FSA Spring Operating Mechanisms

Circuit Breaker LTB D 72.
5 - 170 kV
FSA spring operating mechanisms
For single-pole operation
LTB D - proven design

LTB D circuit breakers with the ABB AutoPufferTM interrupter and spring operating
mechanisms have been reliably serving utilities
around the world since 1991. Over 20,000 units
have been delivered to over 120 countries with
an excellent record of performance.
The LTB D is designed for system voltages 72.5 170 kV
and rated for breaking current of 40 kA. LTB D is one
member of the extensive and proven ABB SF6 circuit
breaker family, which covers the voltage range from 72.5
up to 800 kV and for breaking capabilities up to 80 kA.
The LTB D for single pole operation has been optimized
using the well proven FSA 1 spring operating mechanism
in compliance with the major international standards
including IEC and ANSI.
Design
The three poles of the circuit breaker are mounted on a

pole beam, supported by a two column frame. Each pole
is equipped with its own spring operating mechanism
of trip-free design, containing both closing and tripping
springs. The operating mechanisms are mechanically
identical. Operational controls are centralized in the
centre mechanism and cabling between mechanisms
is factory installed and tested prior to delivery. Minimum
adjustment of the circuit breaker is required during site
assembly.
The circuit breaker poles are identical sealed, single
pressure, SF6 units, including breaking unit and hollow
post insulators and mechanism housings. The poles are
connected by factory installed SF6 gas piping connected
to a central manifold block for site filling and SF6 density
monitoring. ABBs well proven double nitrile rubber static
and dynamic seal designs ensure a maximum SF6 leak
rate of less than 0.5% per year.
Simply reliable, fully functional
ABBs more than 100 years experience in the delivery of

HV circuit breakers worldwide guarantees our customers
can easily specify what they require and be assured of
receiving their circuit breakers on time and to the high
quality expected and guaranteed by ABB. The LTB D
single-pole operated design can be specified by rated
voltage, insulator type, phase distance, control voltage
and pre-engineered flexible range of control functions.

Note! Installation times are indicative only and subject to work by suitably trained personnel with appropriate tools. All
site works must be carried out in accordance with local laws, safety regulations and relevant ABB product information
manual delivered with the circuit breaker.
Installation in less than one day

4. Install poles on pole beam
(75 minutes)
5. Install substation cabling and HV

connections (180 minutes)
6. SF6 gas filling (45 minutes)
7. Site commissioning tests (60 minutes)
Electrical controls pre-engineered functional modules

for operational security
All interphase controls of the circuit breaker are completed in the ABB factory. No site cabling is required, ensuring
fast and error free installation. All main circuit functions have been developed into pre-engineered modules that
provide the user with simplicity of ordering and security of function. The standardized circuit and wiring design enables
a high degree of automated quality control in the production of the circuit breaker.
Cabling is terminated using positive clip lock, vibration proof plug connections. All internal cabling is indelibly marked
with unique cable numbers. Interphase cables have halogen free compound insulation, UV resistant sheaths and
overlapped copper tape screens. Separate gland plate provided for substation cable entry. Well spaced, vertically
mounted terminal blocks provided in central operating mechanism for connection of substation control and signalling
cables.
