Circuit breakers are essential components in power systems, as they interrupt existing flows of electric current to prevent damages caused by excess current or short circuit. The UPG 6-21616-21 is a type of vacuum circuit breaker developed by Siemens. It is suitable for power systems with power levels up to 6kV, as well as for short circuit protections.

The UPG 6-21616-21 vacuum circuit breaker performs its functions using a vacuum arcs interruption model. In this model, when two vacuum arcs are produced, they are extinguished by the natural and rapid increase in the surrounding medium. Since the pressure inside the arc chamber is much less than the atmospheric pressure, and the size of the arc is much smaller than the atmospheric pressure, the arc will be extinguished in just a few hundred microseconds. This rapid interruption allows the UPG 6-21616-21 to prevent the equipment from further damages.

The UPG 6-21616-21 is suitable for a wide range of applications. It is most often used in medium-voltage power systems, such as in substations, industrial installations, and for electric power plants. Additionally, it is also suitable as a protection relay for an automated control circuit. In this case, the UPG 6-21616-21 will trip the breaker when an overcurrent or short-circuit condition occurs in the power system. This helps to prevent damage to the equipment and to ensure the efficient operation of the power system.

In addition to its role as a circuit-breaker, the UPG 6-21616-21 also provides additional features and protection functions. For example, it has an integrated ground fault protection system that automatically detects ground faults and quickly breaks the connection. This helps both to prevent further damages to the equipment and to save energy by cutting off the flow of electricity. The UPG 6-21616-21 also has an integrated arc extinguishing unit, which quickly extinguishes an arc that has formed between two contacts.

Finally, the UPG 6-21616-21 is equipped with an overload monitoring system that monitors the load current across the circuit. The overload monitoring system will trip the breaker when it detects an overload above a certain level, and can be configured to allow for additional time-delay settings. This allows the breaker to accommodate varying loads on the system.

The UPG 6-21616-21 has been designed to provide reliable and efficient operation in power systems. It features a robust and flexible design, and is capable of providing effective protection against short circuit and overload faults. Its wide range of features makes it suitable for a variety of applications, such as in medium-voltage power systems, industrial installations, and as part of an automated control system. In addition, its overload monitoring system and integrated ground fault protection system ensure that the circuit breaker provides reliable and efficient protection against any faults on the power system.
