1 Life Insurance for Switches & Circuit Breakers Surviving Harsh Environments Author: John Arnold Director Sales & Marketing APM HEXSEAL Unsealed electromechanical switches and circuit breakers offer limited environmental protection against harsh environmental contamination penetration. For example: controls mounted on oil/gas platforms in the Gulf of Mexico, to ski mobiles in the Arctic to the Antarctic, constant exposure to moisture, ice, dust dirt, fungus, lubricants, cleaning solvents and chemically corrosive atmospheres will eventually reach the internal contact mechanism making them susceptible to damage and shorting. There can be external operational problems too. For example, the exterior toggle/pushbutton well is a prime location for collection of dirt and ice build-up, thus interfering with the switch or breaker free-movement and reliability. Contaminants can seep past the switch/breaker mounting hole, exposing delicate circuitry to shorting and corrosion as well. Even sealed switches/breakers are exposed to the same potential environmental risks. That s because hermetically sealed devices are designed to protect only the internal mechanism. It does nothing to prevent clogging in the actuator well, or prevent seepage past the mounting hole. During World War II, the U.S. Military was made painfully aware of this type of control reliability problem and shortly thereafter, APM HEXSEAL joined with the Department of Defense to develop a series of seals addressing these issues based on a newly created specification MIL-DTL The result was the development of two patented families of sealing boots for switch and circuit breaker protection that even included a special panel sealing washer for sealed switches. They are rated to IP66/68 dust and water ingress protection. For more than 60 years these seals have been extensively used in military, naval, land and avionics applications throughout the world. They are UL Recognized Components and RoHS Compliant. Industry has also embraced this sealing technology and is using it on control panels in some of the harshest environments imaginable, such as automation, marine, gas and oil rigs, construction and excavating equipment, communication, instrumentation whereever commercial and industrial controls must be secure, fully operational and safe APM Hexseal Page 1 of 4
2 What makes these seals special, and how do they work? There are sealing boots for toggle, pushbutton, rotary and rocker devices with configurations matching most popular brands. The vast majority of boots are fabricated in high-performance silicone rubber with a molded-in mounting-nut that replaces the original switch s exterior nut. Other elastomeric materials are also available to match specific environmental chemical exposures. (See materials table). These UL Recognized Component boots are precision engineered, with special care taken to maintain uniform consistency and performance. For example, many of the toggle boots are designed with an inner secondary seal affording additional protection should the exterior be compromised by a puncture or tear. High-performance silicone features several important properties including extreme elongation, high actuation life (up to 100,000 operations and beyond) and a wide operating temperature range of from -94 F to +400 F (-70 C to +204 C). APM HEXSEAL boots are molded and oven-aged which is an effective method to reduce silicone out gassing to an absolute acceptable minimum thus preventing silicone molecule migration that could coat sensitive electrical and electronic components causing circuit malfunction*. To prevent contaminant seepage past the mounting hole cut-out, each boot has a perimeter sealing rib that is firmly pressed against the panel surface when the boot is tightened. For extremely rough handling situations where workers wear gloves, there are several switch seals that feature a stainless steel (armored) exterior with a silicone membrane/boot that fits over and transfers the actuation motion to the standard toggle or pushbutton switch. This also makes an ideal solution for very high pressure and temperature wash down situations. NEMA Mounted Enclosure Example Switch & Circuit Breaker Boots Pushbutton style switch boot Heavy duty, armored, stainless steel, mushroom head boot Digital Panel Meter custom cover Lever style back-of-panel mounted circuit breaker boots Toggle style switch boots Lever style front-of-panel mounted sealing boots Lever style back-of-panel mounted circuit breaker boot Pushbutton style switch boot Rocker style circuit breaker boots Circuit breaker boots present a somewhat different challenge. It isn t enough to environmentally protect the breaker externally and internally the operator must be able to view the circuit status as well. That s why a clear version of silicone rubber is used. The elastomeric cover must maintain its clear visibility for an extended period of time and not yellow or otherwise degrade from UV and other contaminant exposure. Plus, it must provide long actuation life and be robust enough to absorb rough handling while providing the operator with sufficient tactile feel. APM 2012 APM Hexseal Page 2 of 4
3 uses a special UV resistant formulation trade marked RUBRGLAS which has an operational life of a minimum of up to100,000 actuations, while maintaining the same wide temperature range as the switch boots. Besides pushbutton, rocker and toggle styles, there are single and multiple lever styles; some mounting from the front of the panel and others that mount from behind. Special APM designed O-Ring embedded stainless steel screws (SEELSKREW ) are used to secure these boots to the panel. Front-Of-Panel Mounted Behind-The-Panel Mounted A wide choice of sealing boots is offered for switches and circuit breakers. A simple way to match and select the right boot is to visit our web site and review our catalogs which contain dimensional information and comprehensive cross-reference charts. There are also CAD and PDF drawings, so you can double check dimensions against controls you presently have or are planning to install. This is an important step as controls manufacturers change dimensions from time-to-time. Some guidelines to follow are: What size threaded bushing does your switch use (e.g., 15/32-32, M12x1, 3/8-24, M6x 0.75,¼-40, etc.)? What is the height of the tip of the switch actuator above the threaded switch bushing? For rotary switches, what is the of the shaft? If a rocker switch is used, what are the dimensions of the bezel and actuator and height of the rocker above the plane of the bezel face? For circuit breakers, consider the number of levers, mounting method, and overall dimensions. Does it require enhanced actuation force (see CT and HT Trigger model series)? And, in all instances, specify the elastomeric material that best conforms to your environmental challenges. will suffice for most, but there are exceptions (see Materials chart). AC motor controllers typically have these boots installed for protection against wash down and hostile environments, as do NEMA 4X enclosures and IEC type electrical distribution and industrial controls as described in this article.the photograph above shows some of the various ways these boots can be installed to protect both externally as well as within the enclosure. APM offers many options including choice of color-matching to panel colors or functional coding and emi/rfi suppression models. Most models provide IP water immersion and dust ingress rating of IP66/68. In today s global market it is more important than ever to know where the raw silicone is coming from and its integrity, as well as how the boot is fabricated (without short cuts) into a high-performance seal. Quality, constancy and reliability are paramount. Standards conforming to appropriate MIL-Spec, UL Recognition and other related agency requirements, and ISO9001 conformance all play important roles for safe, secure specifying APM Hexseal Page 3 of 4
