INTRODUCTION

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This manual covers the description, installation, operation and maintenance ofSquare D Class 8110 Type V2540/V2740 and V3540/V3740 vacuum contactors.These instructions apply primarily to contactors as used with controllers. For otherapplications contact your local Square D sales office.

The Class 8110 Type V3540/V3740 contactor is a three-pole device available only in abolted design. The V3540 is rated for 5000 V and the V3740 is rated for 7200 V. Both arerated at 360 A (enclosed), 60 KV BIL, with an interrupting rating of 7300 A symmetrical.

This basic contactor contains three vacuum interrupters, a DC operating coil with rectifiercircuit and auxiliary contacts. This contactor is used as the main (M) contactor on:

❏ Full voltage, non-reversing controllers❏ Reduced voltage, autotransformer controllers❏ Wound rotor motor controllers

The device is also used as the start (S) and run (R) contactors on reduced voltage, primaryreactor controllers.

Two contactors (two-pole or three-pole) can be mechanically interlocked in a horizontalarrangement by changing the slider mechanism of each contactor.

Three-pole mechanically interlocked devices are used as forward (F) and reverse (R) con-tactors on full voltage reversing controllers. Two-pole mechanically interlocked devicesare used as start (S) and run (R) contactors on reduced voltage autotransformer control-lers.

The Class 8110 Type V2540/V2740 contactor is a two-pole device similar to the TypeV3540/V3740 contactor but with two vacuum interrupters. Two-pole contactors are usedas the Start (S) and Run (R) contactor on reduced voltage, autotransformer controllers.

Figure 1 V3540/V3740 Mechanically Latched Contactor

A mechanical latching mechanism may be added to a basic contactor to lock the contactorclosed. An electrical release solenoid mounted on the left side of the coil is optional. TheClass 8110 Type V3540/V3740 mechanically latched contactor is used primarily for:

❏ Transformer feeder circuits❏ Transfer schemes❏ Applications where it is desirable to have the contactor remain closed,

should the voltage dip or fail.

The basic Type V3540/V3740 vacuum contactor assembly for Model 3 Series BClass 8198 and Class 8196 controllers are the same and can be interchanged withno modifications required.

Magnet Coil Replacement

Reactor/Rectifier Electrical Interlock Replacement

Coil resistance may be measured to determine if the coil is inoperative. Under nor-mal operating conditions, the coil resistance will vary from 12 to 16 ohms. If thecoil measures open or less than 12 ohms, it is inoperative and must be replaced. Ifcoil resistance exceeds 16 ohms and the coil is hot, overheating is indicated. Referto "Troubleshooting Chart" on page 14 for possible cause and corrective action.

To remove magnet coil (item 33), disconnect coil wires from the coil. Loosen ca-pacitor mounting bracket hardware (item 59) and swing capacitor (item 57) out ofcontactor molding. Remove hex head screw (item 38) from magnet frame and slidemagnet assembly to the left for removal of coil. Do not remove spring washer(item 34) from core. Install new coil (item 33) on magnet core (item 31) and rein-stall magnet assembly to contactor. Reattach coil wires, then reinstall capacitor. Re-fer to Figure 14 on page 17 for exploded view of item locations.

CONTROL CIRCUIT RECEPTACLE REPLACEMENT

ARMATURE SPRING REPLACEMENT

Make sure that coil current and voltage is still as described above and that all N.O.control contacts are closed and choke N.C. contacts are open. De-energize contac-tor and remove the .030" gauge. Place a .085" gauge between armature and magnetframe. Energize contactor. All power contacts (vacuum interrupter) must be closed,all N.C. control contacts must open and all N.O. control contacts must remain open.De-energize contactor and remove the .085 gauge.

Individual contact blocks may be replaced as required with the assembly mountedto the contactor. Disconnect control wires from the contact block and unfastenblock mounting screw. Replace block and connect control wires. After the controlcontact block is replaced, assembly adjustment is not required. To check adjust-ment follow steps described under control assembly replacement.

The receptacle for the control circuit plug consists of a plug housing and male contactpins with wire leads inserted from the rear. An extraction tool (Square D Part Number29904-08400) is required for pin removal. This tool, inserted into the receptacle fromthe front, compresses the retention springs allowing the lead and pin to be withdrawnfrom the plug housing.

The complete receptacle can be removed from the contactor control module by removinghardware (Refer to item D, Figure 6 on page 6) and sliding receptacle out of mounting slot.

CONTACT SPRING REPLACEMENT

MANUAL CONTACTOR OPERATION

CONDITION OF VACUUM INTERRUPTER ASSEMBLIES

To reinstall armature spring, seat the armature spring on the spring guide locatedon the armature extension (item E). Position front spring guide onto armaturespring and fasten the spring guide to the spring bracket by evenly tightening hexhead screws (item 47).

The vacuum interrupter assembly must be removed from the contactor to replacethe contact spring (item 22, Figure 14 on page 17). Refer to "Removing ExistingInterrupter Assembly" on page 9. Prior to removing the vacuum interrupter as-sembly, the contact tip gap measurement must be recorded for use when rein-stalling the interrupter. Refer to "Contact Tip Gap Measurement" on page 3.

Reinstallation of the vacuum interrupter assembly is referred to in "Installing Inter-rupter Assembly" on page 10. Follow these instructions and ensure that the contacttip gap measurement is adjusted to the value recorded prior to vacuum interrupter as-sembly removal. This ensures accuracy of future contact tip wear measurements.

To operate the contactor manually, the armature spring must be removed. Refer to "AR-MATURE SPRING REPLACEMENT" on page 7. With the armature spring removed,the contacts are closed but the armature is not sealed against the magnet frame.

To fully close the contactor and seal the armature, avoid the threaded shaft of thevacuum interrupters and push down on the contactor shaft insulator (refer to item11, Figure 14 on page 17). Approximately 20 pounds of force is required. Reinstallarmature spring before proceeding.

If contactor has been exposed to fault conditions as indicated by blown motor fuses,the following checks must be made for the vacuum interrupter assemblies.

1. Physical evidence of stress (distorted, discolored, or cracked interrupters).2. Contact wear measurement (Refer to "Contact Tip Gap Measurement" on page 3).3. Dielectric voltage withstand test.

Remove contactor from controller to perform the inspections and tests.

The dielectric voltage withstand strength of each vacuum interrupter should bechecked. Each 5 kV rated interrupter is tested by the factory at 15.9 kV rms, 60 Hzfor one second. Repeat tests should be at 10.0 kV, 60 Hz for 60 seconds or 12 kVrms, 60 Hz for one second. Each 7.2 kV rated interrupter is tested by the factory at18.2 kV for one second. Repeat tests should be at 14.4 kV for 60 seconds or 16.4kV rms, 60 Hz for one second.

CAUTIONPOSSIBILITY OF X-RAY EXPOSURE.

This device may emit x-rays if voltage higher than rated maximum is appliedacross the open contacts or if contacts are spaced less than rated stroke.

In such a case, personnel must be protected with appropriate shielding.

Exposure to x-rays can cause injury.

REPLACEMENT OF VACUUM INTERRUPTER ASSEMBLIES

Removing Existing Interrupter Assembly

If unit fails the test, replace interrupter assembly with a new unit.

It is unlikely, but possible to have some loss of vacuum which might seriously dam-age the ability of the interrupter to interrupt the circuit. This condition may go un-noticed in a three-phase, ungrounded circuit, since it is possible for any two goodinterrupters to successfully interrupt the circuit. To guard against this condition, pe-riodic dielectric tests across open contacts are desirable. The interval between pe-riodic tests depends on the number of operations per day, environmental factors andexperience.

Three major operations are required to replace a vacuum interrupter assembly.

❏ Removing existing interrupter assembly

❏ Preparing new interrupter assembly for installation

❏ Installing interrupter assembly

Refer to Figure 8 for item locations:

1. Prior to removing vacuum interrupter assembly, the contact tip gapmeasurement must be recorded for use when reinstalling the interrupter.Refer to "Contact Tip Gap Measurement" on page 3.

2. Remove hex nut (item 20) and spring washer (item 4) holding flexibleshunt to the contactor line bus. Do not remove the bolt holding the shuntto the interrupter assembly.

3. Remove bottom cap screw (item 27) and two washers (item 5 & 6) holdingvacuum interrupter assembly to the contactor.

4. Remove the jam nut (item 1) and gap adjustment nut (item 2) from the topof the interrupter assembly.

5. Lift up on the vacuum interrupter assembly. To remove it from the contac-tor, pull out then down on the bottom portion of the interrupter assembly.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Since many operating problems are traced to loose circuit connections, the controlcircuit receptacle and wiring should be inspected before proceeding.

If a separate source of 120 VAC control power is available, troubleshooting can beperformed using either the contactor control circuit receptacle and a contactor testcord (Square D part number 51034-241-50) or the controller service plug suppliedon some controllers (refer to controller service bulletin). When either is used, thecontrol transformer is disconnected from the control voltage..

Table 2 Troubleshooting Chart

ible Causes Corrective Action

w control voltage 1) Check that voltage to control terminals 1 & 4 is 102 to120 VAC (refer to Figure 13 on page 13). If control voltage is low, refer to TROUBLESHOOTING section of controller service bulletin.

ternal control interlock open 2) Check that voltage at terminals 2 & 3 is zero VDC (refer to Figure 13 on page 13). If voltage is present, refer to TROUBLESHOOTING section of controller service bulletin.

terference with mechanical erlocks

3) Refer to Interlock Check section of controller service bulletin and check mechanical interlocks.

ntrol rectifier inoperative 4) Refer to "Rectifier Testing & Replacement Procedures" on page 5.

HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE.

All power should be disconnected from the controller equipment before performing any troubleshooting or maintenance work on the contactor.

The equipment has been designed to permit maintenance and /or testing on the contactor after it has been isolated from the main power.

Electrical shock will cause severe personal injury or death.

DANGER

HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE.

If separate control power is applied to the contactor by other means, the control cable must be disconnected from contactor to prevent possible backfeeding of the control transformer and generation of hazardous voltage on the primary side.

Electrical shock will cause severe personal injury or death.
