This publication contains the information required
to install VD4G medium voltage circuit-breakers
and put them into service.
Please read the manual carefully to ensure that the
product is used correctly.
Similarly to all the apparatus we manufacture,
VD4G circuit-breakers are designed for different
installation configurations.
They can therefore undergo further technical-
construction modifications (at the customer’s
request) so as to adapt them to special installation
requirements.
Consequently, the manual may not contain
instructions concerning special customized
configurations.
This means that, besides this manual, it is always
necessary to consult the latest technical
documentation (circuit and wiring diagrams,
layouts, assembly and installation drawings, any
protection coordination studies, etc.), especially
regarding any variants requested in relation to the
standard configurations.
Only use original spare parts for maintenance
operations.
Please also consult the technical catalog of the
circuit-breaker and the spare parts catalog for
further details.
All the installation, putting into service,
running and maintenance operations
must be carried out by suitably
qualified personnel with in-depth
knowledge of the apparatus.
I. Foreword
II. Environmental
protection program
VD4G circuit-breakers are manufactured in
accordance with ISO 14000 Standards (Guidelines
for environmental management).
The manufacturing processes are implemented in
accordance with the environmental protection
standards when it comes to reducing both energy
consumption and the production of waste. All this
is thanks to the environmental management
system applied in the medium voltage apparatus
manufacturing facility.

VD4G INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Packing and transport
The circuit-breaker is shipped in special packing, in
the open position and with the spring discharged.
Each piece of apparatus is protected by a plastic
cover to prevent water from infiltrating during the
loading and unloading stages and to keep the dust
off during storage.

Withdrawable circuit-breakers up to 15 kV are
available for UniGear ZS1 switchgear.
They consist of a truck to which the bearing
structure of the actual circuit-breaker is fixed.
Circuit-breakers for UniGear ZS1 switchgear (fig.
5a)
The cord with plug (13) for connecting the electrical
accessories of the operating mechanism comes out
of the upper part of connector (14).
Strikers for operating the contacts (connected/
disconnected) in the switchgear are fixed to the
upper part of the circuit-breaker.
Slides (9) for operating the segregation shutters of
the medium voltage contacts in the enclosure or
switchgear are fixed at the sides of the circuit-
breaker. Circuit-breakers for UniSec switchgear have
wheels (17) for this purpose.
The front part of the circuit-breaker truck has a
cross-beam with handles (16) which latches onto the
circuit-breaker when this is racked-in/out by means
of the operating lever (15).
The circuit-breaker is complete with disconnection
contacts (8).
The withdrawable circuit-breaker has locks on the
front cross-beam allowing it to be latched into the
corresponding slot-in joints of the switchgear.

The locks can only be operated by the handles when
the truck rests completely against the cross-beam.
The operating lever (15) must be inserted to its full
extent (see sect. 7.5.). A lock prevents the truck from
advancing into the enclosure or fixed part when the
earthing switch is closed.
Another lock prevents racking-in/out when the
circuit-breaker is closed. When the truck is in the
intermediate position, between disconnected and
connected, a further lock (both mechanical and
electrical) prevents the circuit-breaker from closing.
The truck is also fitted with a locking magnet which,
if de-energized, prevents the truck from being
racked-in.
An interlock is available on request to prevent the
circuit-breaker from being racked-in when the door
is open and the door from being opened when the
circuit-breaker is closed.
The lever for loading the closing spring (1) in the
manual mode is built into the operating mechanism.
The spring is loaded by repeatedly lowering the lever
by linear movements until the yellow indicator (6)
appears to show that loading is complete.
The spring can only be loaded with the switchgear
door open. Comply with the instructions in the
UniGear switchgear manual for the operations that
can be performed with the door open.

(*) The minimum current
that the relay with TCS
function (used for
monitoring coil continuity)
detects as a condition
denoting that the trip
circuit is operating
correctly (specified for
each relay in the relative
manual), must be sensibly
higher than the current
consumption of the actual
coil (~1.5 mA).
If this fails to occur, always
add, in parallel to the TCS,
a circuit able to absorb
sufficient current to
compensate the gap while
preventing the total
current in the TCS circuit
from rising above the
maximum threshold (Itcs
< 10 mA for High Voltage
coils - from 110V to 250V,
and Itcs < 50 mA for Low
Voltage coils from 24 V to
60 V).
A simple resistor can be
sized for the purpose,
depending on the
parameters of the TCS and
the auxiliary voltage range
used.
1 Shunt opening release (-MBO1)
Allows the device to be opened by remote control.
This release is suitable for both instantaneous and
permanent duty. However, an auxiliary contact
-BGB1 de-energizes it after the circuit-breaker has
opened. In the case of instantaneous service, the
current impulse must last at least 100 ms.
This release can be controlled by the following
devices: coil continuity control (CCC), opening
circuit supervision (TCS)(*) or the ABB STU
functionality control device (see accessory 19,

2 Additional shunt opening release (-MBO2)
Similarly to shunt opening release -MBO1, this al-
lows the opening command of the apparatus to be
transmitted by remote control. It can be energized
by the same circuit as main shunt opening release
-MBO1 or by a circuit completely separate from re-
lease -MBO1.
This release is suitable for both instantaneous and
permanent duty. However, an auxiliary contact
-BGB1 de-energizes it after the circuit-breaker has
opened.
To guarantee the release action, the current impulse
must last at least 100 ms.
Continuity functionality can be checked with a con-
tinuity control device (CCC), opening circuit supervi-
sion device (TCS)(*) or the STU functionality control
device (see accessory 19, supplied on request).
• MBO2 has the same electrical and operating cha-
racteristics as release -MBO1.

VD4G INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3 Opening solenoid (-MBO3)
The opening solenoid (-MBO3) is a special
demagnetizing release for use in conjunction with
self-supplied overcurrent protection relays.
It is situated in the operating mechanism (in the
left-hand side) and is not an alternative to the
additional shunt opening release (-MBO2).
It is only available for VD4G-25 circuit-breakers.
If this accessory is required, it must be specified
when ordering since it cannot be installed by the
customer at a later date.

ask for document: Data sheet 1VCD600854.
The opening solenoid (-MBO3) is available in two
versions:
• For D.C. (release by discharging energy stored in
protection relay against overcurrent of the self-
supplied type)
• For A.C. (release by means of energy supplied by
an adder transformer on the secondaries of the
protection current transformers) (the adder CT is
at the customer’s charge)
4 Shunt closing release (-MBC)
Allows the apparatus to be closed by remote control.
This release is suitable for both instantaneous and
permanent duty. An auxiliary contact to de-energize
it after the circuit-breaker has closed is not envis-
aged.
The permanently supplied release provides the elec-
trical anti-pumping function with both electrical
opening and re-closing commands maintained. To
guarantee the closing action, the current impulse
must last at least 100 ms.
If there is the same supply voltage for shunt closing
release -MBC and under-voltage release -MBU and
the circuit-breaker must close automatically when
auxiliary voltage returns, there must be a delay of at
least 50 ms between under-voltage release energiz-
ing and energizing of the shunt closing release to al-
low the closing operation to take place.
Continuity functionality can be checked with a con-
tinuity control device (CCC), opening circuit supervi-
sion device (TCS)(*) or the STU functionality control
device (see accessory 19, supplied on request).

8 Transient contact (-BGB4)
This contact closes momentarily (for > 30 ms) upon
circuit-breaker opening by remote control or by
means of a shunt opening release.
The indication is not given when opening is manual
and local. In this case, a contact (–BGB11) is
activated by the manual pushbutton and cuts out
the closing indication of the transient contact
(-BGB4).
The transient contact is activated by the main
operating shaft, thus the indication is only provided
when the main contacts of the circuit-breaker
effectively open.

9 Position contact (-BGT3)
It is used in conjunction with the locking magnet in
the operating mechanism (-RLE1) to prevent remote
closing during movement in the cubicle.
It is only supplied for the withdrawable circuit-
breaker version for UniGear ZS1 switchgear and
PowerCube modules.
It cannot be supplied when transmitted contacts in
the truck are required (-BGT1; -BGT2).
10 Transmitted contacts in truck (-BGT1;-BGT2)
Transmitted contacts of withdrawable circuit-
breaker (installed in circuit-breaker truck - only for
withdrawable circuit-breaker VD4G/P).
These contacts are additional or alternative to the
position contacts (for signaling circuit-breaker
withdrawn) in the cubicle. They also act as position
contacts (-BGT3).
Contacts -BGT1 and BGT2 have the same general
and electrical characteristics as auxiliary contacts

15 Locking magnet on truck (-RLE2)
This accessory is mandatory in withdrawable
versions for UniGear ZS1 switchgear and PowerCube
modules to prevent the circuit-breaker from being
racked into the switchgear when the plug of the
auxiliary circuits is disconnected.
The plug also creates an anti-insertion lock against
different rated currents. Striker pins prevent the
plug from being plugged into the socket if the
circuit-breaker’s rated current is lower than the
rated current of the panel.
