Rated continuous current 2000 A
Rated short-circuit current 40 kA*
Interrupting time 3 cycles
BIL 350 kV
Creep Distance / Material / Color 74” / Porcelain / Gray
Insulating medium SF6
Current transformers (12) 1200:5 MR C400, TRF 2.0
Cabinet Enclosure Rating / Material NEMA 3R / Painted Steel
Ambient temperature -40°C to +40°C without tank heaters
Seismic Rating Per IEEE 693/ High
Altitude ≤ 3,300’ ASL
Control Voltage / Range 125 VDC / (T) 70-140 VDC - (C) 90-140 VDC
Motor Voltage 125 VDC
Alternate current circuit (lighting/heating): 120 / 240 VAC
Unit Price: $35,650. - USD, FOB Jobsite, CA
Features and Benefits
* The X/R rating of the DT1-72.5 F1 FK is 32 at 40kA. This breaker may be nameplated for 45kA interrupting current with
a standard X/R=17. This provides significant performance margin and ensures that the circuit breaker will perform at the
highest level with less maintenance.
The DT1-72.5 F1 FK is qualified to M2 class for mechanical endurance in accordance with IEC 62271-100. This rating
qualifies the DT1-72.5 F1 FK mechanically for 10,000 Close-Open operations without maintenance.
The DT1-72.5 F1 FK is qualified to C2 class for capacitor switching in accordance with IEC 62271-100. This rating qualifies
the DT1-72.5 F1 FK for switching of capacitive loads with very low probability of re-strike.
The DT1-72.5 F1 FK shares the same operating mechanism platform as the DT1-123/145/170 F1 FK and DT1-245 P F1. This
allows for common components between the various voltage levels and increases familiarity for operations and maintenance
personnel.
The foundation layout dimensions of the DT1-72.5 F1 FK are 40.5” x 40.5”, allowing for simplified installation for new
construction as well as oil circuit breaker replacement.
State of the art proprietary bushing sealing system improves SF6 gas tightness.
Porcelain Bushings are tested for high pollution environments using the salt-fog method.
AREVA T&D has delivered over 6,500 DT1-72.5 circuit breakers since 1993.

Spare Parts
We do not recommend any spare parts for start up; however, for the purpose of comparison, we are giving the prices for the
following spares:
Item # Parts Description DT1-72.5 F1 FK
Price per Unit in USD
a Trip Coil or Close Coil
b Spring Charging Motor $105.-
c Set of Gaskets & O-Rings $525.-
d Spring Charge Handle $575.-
e SF6 Density Monitor - WIKA Gauge One included per circuit breaker
$585.-
A slow close device was required for oil type breakers with interrupters with adjustable contact wipe. On SF6 interrupters, the
contacts never need adjusted during the life of the breaker. Therefore, the slow closing device does not add any functionality to
the breaker.
Prices of spare parts are valid only when they are ordered and delivered together with the circuit breaker. Spares ordered
separately will be subject to shipping charges.
We maintain all necessary spare parts in our stock. For emergency spares, we recommend a spare coil and spring charging
motor. Spare parts ordered separately will be subject to shipping charges.
Special Tools
No special tools are necessary for installation or maintenance of the breakers. We do recommend, however, having one (1) of
each of the following SF6 handling tools on site:
Handheld leak detector $500.- USD
Gas regulator and fill hose set (1) per breaker included
Vanguard Transducer Bracket (1) per breaker included
The cost of these special tools, unless otherwise stated, is not included in the breaker pricing.

General Comments
The circuit breakers offered belong to a family of switchgear highlighted by the following features:
Third generation SF6 interrupter with advanced thermal effect interrupter.
Mechanical spring/spring operating mechanism.
More than 30,000 circuit breakers/switchers on order or in service since 1989, worldwide.
A spring type operating mechanism is used to operate the circuit breakers. The stored energy in the springs is sufficient to
perform one (1) O-CO operation without recharging. The tripping springs are automatically recharged after every C operation.
Duty cycle is O-0.3s-CO-10s-CO as standard.
The breakers have NEMA four (4) hole bushing terminals, made of aluminum and arranged in a horizontal plane and NEMA
two (2) hole, stainless steel, grounding pads located on opposite legs of the support structure. Anchor bolts, terminal
connectors and ground clamps are to be provided by others.
The circuit breakers will be supplied with minimum of 8 ‘a’ and 8 ‘b’ spare auxiliary contacts available for customer use. These
contacts are factory set and are not field inter-interchangeable or adjustable.
The circuit breakers have one (1) common gas density monitoring system for the three (3) poles, located outside of the control
housing, subject to ambient conditions. This pressure sensitive, temperature compensated SF6 gas density monitor has two (2)
contact settings for the following functions for falling density: (1) alarm, (2) functional lockout. The contact settings are
adjusted at the factory; therefore, they require no calibration and should not be adjusted in the field.
The circuit breakers have a common gas piping system with a common fill valve located outside of the control cabinet, and self-
sealing type isolation valves are provided on each tank to facilitate the removal of gas from a single tank
In the event of a loss of supply to the motor, a hand crank is included with each breaker to manually charge the spring.
The breakers will be shipped on a low step-deck or flatbed truck with bushings assembled and partially gas filled, thereby
eliminating the need for a vacuum pump on site. On-site assembly consists of topping off with SF6 gas and mounting the lower
legs of the support structure.
The proposed circuit breakers have been tested according to applicable ANSI/IEEE standards. Type tests have been performed
previously on a similar unit. A set of routine tests, also according to ANSI/IEEE standards, will be conducted on the circuit
breakers prior to shipment from our factory in Charleroi, PA. A repetition of any of these tests or the inclusion of a test or
testing procedure not covered in these standards or on our Routine Testing Report is not included in the price of the circuit
breakers.
The cost of routine equipment testing at our facility is included in the breaker pricing. All other costs (i.e. travel, lodging, and
meal expenses) associated with witness testing are not included.
