R-MAG Magnetic Actuator Breakers
Wednesday, February 13, 2013
Arney Kaner
ABB
About the Topic
R-MAG represents a new technology with regard to both the breaker's
operating mechanism and the pole construction. The breaker utilizes
ABB's revolutionary magnetic actuator drive, that has only one moving
part and does not require any maintenance. There is no spring and
therefore no electrical motor is required. ABB's unique "embedded
pole" construction protects the vacuum interrupter from contaminated
ambient air, thus increasing the life of an interrupter to 30,000
cycles.
About the Speaker
Arney Kaner graduated from Omsk Polytechnical Institute, Russian
Federation in 1975, with MS in Electrical Engineering and major in
Power Distribution Systems for Cities and Industrial Plants. From
1975 to 1988 has been working as a field engineer doing start up,
performance testing, and commissioning of substations and switchgear
on voltage levels from 6kV to 115 kV.
From 1989 has been living in the US and working as a consulting
engineer for various companies. Designed power distribution systems on
15kV and 35 kV voltage levels with demand up to 130 MVA for large
hospitals, university campuses and industrial sites. In 2011 left the
consulting engineering industry and joined ABB as the Regional
Application Engineer, Medium Voltage Products.
