High-speed DC circuit-breakers
for Fixed Installation (IEEE/ANSI standards)
Type UR
2. 2
General information
The UR range of DC circuit-breakers has achieved worldwide
acceptance as a well proven design for use in fixed installations.
It has been regularly upgraded and adapted to new standard
requirements and different applications over the years,
continuously improving the level of performance and functionality.
This has led to an impressive service track record throughout the
world for the UR product range.
Designed according to ANSI C37.14 – 2002 and
ANSI C.37.16 – 2000, the UR range can be used for Light Rail
and Heavy Rail Transit Systems on the North American territory.
Combining a compact design with a high making and breaking
capacity, the UR range, with its low number of parts also
guarantees high reliability and low maintenance requirements.
Applications
• Feeder circuit-breaker for DC traction power substations
• Rectifier circuit-breaker for DC traction power substations

Start of the closing pulse: the contacts F + G close.
Closing pulse: 0.5 to 1 s.
Start of the holding current: the contact G opens.
Holding: a R1 resistance limits the holding current to 5% of
the closing current.
Opening: the contact F opens to provoke the interruption of
the holding current.
Start of the closing pulse: the contacts E close.
Closing pulse: 0.5 to 1 s, then the contacts E open.
Holding: achieved by the permanent magnet.
Opening: the contacts F close to provoke a current pulse of
the opposite polarity to the closing current. The duration of
this pulse is 0.5-1 s, then the contact F opens. The opening
current is 20 % of the closing current.

Manual release
The manual release is a safety device designed to guarantee that the breaker is in OPEN position so as to access the breaker’s panel
-e.g. for maintenance.
The vertical release is automatically actuated while withdrawing from the panel the trolley on which the breaker is installed.
The horizontal release must be manually actuated from the front side of the panel door before opening it.

Options (subject to additional costs)
ECO-Drive integrated control module — UR26/36/40/46
ECO-Drive is a compact control module integrated with UR circuit-breakers, to manage closing-holding
sequences with electric control. ECO-Drive is set on the UR breaker’s closing device.
This option offers to system integrators the following advantages:
• UR26/36/40 breakers need no more additional hardware to manage the closing-holding sequences
• Reduction of the overall space necessary to operate the circuit-breaker
• Reduction of overall installation costs of the DC circuit-breakers
• Reduction of holding power consumption and operational costs versus conventional holding variant
• Reduction of the risks to damage the closing coil during commissioning and service operations
The UR breaker together with the ECO-Drive is fully compliant for electromagnetic compatibility
with EN 50121-3-2 and with EN 50155: § 5.1.1.2 short (10 ms) interruptions class S2 and § 5.1.3:
voltage dips / variation (at 0.6Un during 100ms) class C1.

Position indicator — UR26/36/40/46/60/80
A mechanical position indicator actuated though a rod linked
to the circuit-breaker moving contact gives the position of the
breaker: 0 = OPEN while I = CLOSED
OPEN
CLOSOSED
Manual closing device
The manual closing device, mainly used for maintenance operations, enables to close and open the circuit-breaker without low voltage
supply and under no load.
for UR26/36/40/46 for UR60/80
Contact wear indicator (WI) or overcurrent release detector (I>) — UR26/36/40/46
Installed on the rear side of the circuit-breaker closing device,
these options monitor the position of a rod linked to the breaker’s
moving contact, which rod actuates a micro-switch.
Based on the selected configuration the detector informs about:
- the reaching of the wear limit of the main contacts of the circuit-
breaker: function ‘’contact wear indicator’’.
- the tripping of the circuit-breaker through the over-current
release: function ‘’over-current release detector’’.
These two functions cannot be selected together.
