MSV / FSV Replacement Breakers (for Siemens / Allis-Chalmers)

MSV & FSV Medium Voltage
Replacement Circuit Breakers
ANSI 4.76/8.25/15kV at 250–1000 MVA, 1200-3000 Amperes
Replacement breakers provide a costeffective way to upgrade your system
capabilities while saving you from costly
maintenance and lost productivity while
preserving your investment in existing
cubicles and cables.
Why Siemens?
Siemens Offers the Best Vacuum Circuit
Breaker in the Industry.
Siemens provides the experience your
company needs to successfully extend
the life of your equipment. Our circuit
breakers are manufactured using the
same fixtures as the original AllisChalmers, Siemens-Allis breakers.

Closed Door Racking Modification
In order to improve operator safety,
Siemens offers a field modification to
convert type D and F switchgear to a
closed-door, remote rack design. This
modification provides a cost effective
solution to keep operators clear of the arc
flash zone during breaker racking.

Closed Door Racking Modification
(continued from front page)
The field modification consists of a floor-mounted
screw racking device and a breaker-mounted bracket to interface with the floor-mounted screw device.
These additions allow end-users to either have
closed-door manual racking, or closed door remote
racking.

Sample Dimensional Diagram - MSV
The closed door remote racking option requires the
above mentioned cell and breaker additions, as well
as a minor front panel modification to accept a
torque-regulated motor. The motor can be moved
from one cell position to the next, thus only one
motor device is required.
