Overview

Features
The gas-insulated and metal-enclosed switchgear WI has been designed for operation in power plants, transformer substations and industrial networks. The WI switchgear with vacuum circuit-breaker features maximum availability, optimum operator safety and clear design using SF6 gas as insulating medium. The switchgear units are insensitive to environmental influences, such as humidity, dust and aggressive gases, and offer complete operator safety. Their clear design facilitates operation.

Product description

Technical description
WI panels are suitable for configuring single or double busbar switchgear in conjunction with indoor installation. WI switchgear units are completely metal-enclosed. The busbar compartment which accommodates fixed parts only is segregated gas-tight from the flange-mounted switching unit. The switching unit comprises the three-position switch with isolating and earthing functions and the vacuum circuitbreaker; in case of double busbar systems, there are two threeposition switches with isolating and earthing functions and the vacuum circuit-breaker. The busbar compartment and the switching unit feature three-pole enclosure. Single-pole enclosure is provided in the area of the toroidalcore current transformers which are located in an easily accessible position outside of the SF6 atmosphere. The compact design results in a very clear switchgear arrangement with low space requirement; it has the advantage that a switching unit can be mounted or removed very quickly without the busbar requiring isolation from the power supply. The panels are equipped with a low-voltage cabinet for the required measuring and protection relays or the terminal strips. The high performance of the instrument transformers installed means that not only electronic but also conventional protection relays can be deployed. Thanks to its design, this panel series permits straightforward extension of an existing switchgear on both sides, and extension from single to double busbar models.

Components of the switching unit


The circuit-breaker in question is a vacuum circuit-breaker. The switching unit has been equipped, for its isolating and earthing functions, with a three-position switch featuring the positions: Disconnector Disconnector earthing switch Earthing switch ON (CLOSE) OFF (TRIP) ON (CLOSE)

Earthing
The metal-enclosed WI series switchgear is equipped with a separate earthing line running along the length of the switchgear.

Wiring
Wiring is effected with flexible cables (HO7V-K) in the technically required cross-sections.

Corrosion protection
If desired, the indoor panels WIA and WIB can be provided optionally with enhanced corrosion protection. To ensure optimum switchgear protection, the environmental installation conditions, such as wind-borne sand, aggressive dust (to be defined as salt dust, coke dust, cement dust etc.), vermin (termites), increased humidity levels, aggressive atmosphere (type of chemicals and their concentration to be defined) must be specified.

Installation locations
The switchgear has been designed for installation in closed electrical operating facilities.

Connection of cables and bars


The cables are connected by means of metal-enclosed connectors. Switchgear units equipped with multiple connection tanks enable connection of up to five 300 mm2 cables or two 1250 mm2 cables per phase, depending on the insulation rating. Alternatively, fully insulated busbar systems or SF6-insulated conductor bars can be used.

Low voltage cabinet


The secondary devices for protection relay, control, measurement, billing metering and other systems are installed in the low-voltage cabinet. The low-voltage cabinet is separated systematically from the primary part, is shock-proof and arc-resistant. It is an independent, closed low-voltage compartment with mechanical and electrical interfaces to the vertical section (screw-fastened plug-and-socket connector). The clear separation between the rack and the low-voltage cabinet is a particular advantage for the company operating the switchgear. Retrofitting spare panels and conversion or replacement of complete low-voltage cabinets (e.g. due to process changes) at a later date is also straightforward. The panel remains completely enclosed even if the low-voltage cabinet is not attached. Optional inspection ports can be integrated in the torsion-resistant door of the low-voltage cabinet, the door also being able to accommodate measuring instruments, control elements and protection relays.

Current/voltage transformers
Current transformers
The current transformers are designed as toroidal-core transformers and are put onto the cable outgoing feeder areas with single-pole enclosure. The current transformers in line with the busbar consist of identical units. There, they are slipped onto the busbar areas which also feature singlepole enclosure. The capacity of the current transformers is designed in such a way that supply of conventional protective devices is also possible. Up to 3 transformers (3 cores) can be accommodated per phase and outgoing feeder. The transformers can also be exchanged subsequently. Three current transformers (3 cores) per phase can also be installed in line with the busbar, in order to measure its currents. A special current transformer arrangement is the bus coupler panel within one panel width. In the double busbar top attachment tank, one core of max. 80 mm height with an ID of 135 mm and an OD of 195 mm can be installed for each phase. The low voltage is led out via a max. 7-pole line which is SF6 proof.

Voltage transformer
The conventional solution for the inductive voltage transformer is a separate single-phase metalenclosed module which can be connected via cable connectors almost anywhere in the busbar area and on the outgoing feeder cable, and thus arranged in practically any location as required. in the outgoing feeder area Another design comprises metal-enclosed inductive voltage transformers directly flangemounted to the outgoing feeder block, with the isolating / earthing device mounted upstream. An externally operated isolating feature prevents the voltage transformer from being endangered/ put at risk during DC tests on the cable.

Voltage transformer on busbar

on the busbar A separate metering panel with a set of inductive voltage transformers is provided to this effect. Taking account of the high priority of the busbar, a disconnector enables isolation of the transformer section. Both disconnector and transformer are located in separate compartments. Thus, any damage which might occur in the vicinity of the transformer does not affect the isolating area or the busbar. Performance characteristic Ratings: Class: up to 50 VA 0.5

Product description (contd.)

Interlocks
Actuation of the three-position switch and the continuous mechanical interlock between circuitbreaker and three-position switch are designed in such a way that the operator can proceed as usual. This means separate, completely interlocked actuation for the switching procedures Establishing isolating distance and Earthing. For the earthing procedure, which is only possible with the three-position switch in isolated position, the circuit-breaker switched off and the circuit-breaker energy-storing device pre-charged, the circuitbreaker is connected positively after the contact blades have beeninserted into the earthing contacts, and protected against immediate mechanical or electrical switching OFF. Vice versa, on de-earthing, the circuit-breaker is first switched off positively before the isolating distance to the earthing contacts established. The interlocks ensure that each switching operation is always performed completely. Thus, once the switching operation has commenced, the motion cannot be reversed, if applicable, and the operating lever cannot be removed before it reaches its end position. The description only refers to the single busbar. In the case of double busbars, some of the internal interlocking functions of the panel, as well as all inter-panel interlocking functions are performed by electro-mechanical interlocks (blocking coil). The following interlocking functions are provided: Disconnector does not switch ON while the circuit-breaker or the earthing switch are ON None of the disconnectors switches OFF while the circuit-breaker or the earthing switch are ON Circuit-breaker only switches ON with the disconnector in its end position No earthing with disconnector engaged No earthing with circuit-breaker ON No earthing without circuit-breaker being in ready-to-operate condition Automatic connection of circuitbreaker during earthing Automatic disconnection of circuit- breaker during de-earthing The following has been ensured: The operating crank cannot be removed from the disconnector or earthing switch before it has reached its end positions completely The circuit-breaker cannot be actuated while a switching operation is being performed on the disconnector or earthing switch The circuit-breaker cannot be switched off with the three-position switch in earthing position All interlocks act partly mechanically and partly electrically An operating crank can only be inserted on the disconnector or earthing switch once the insertion opening has been released via a manual interrogation system. All interlocks also effective when the three-position switch is motor-actuated.

Cable connections

Cable connections in outgoing feeder block

The medium-voltage cables are connected to the switchgear panels via metal-enclosed inner cone-type plug-in terminations. The panels are equipped with inner cone-type appliance couplers according to EN 50 181. The manufacturers specifications of the regarding selection and assembly of the plug-in terminations must be adhered to. This does not only apply to the selection of size, but also to all electrical rated data, in line with the switchgears data. It is essential that all appliance couplers which are not equipped with plug-in terminations are terminated correctly using voltage-proof and fully shrouded insulating terminals/ dummy plugs. To this effect, the inner cone-type cable plug-in terminations for attachment to WI require capacitive decoupling. The coupling electrodes for the capacitive voltage detection system are an integral part of the appliance couplers installed in the switchgear panel.

Ecological considerations

A WI switchgear satisfies to a high degree ecological requirements in view of environmental protection thanks to optimization of material and energy consumption during manufacture compliance with all ecological requirements during its service life the use of recyclable materials for efficient disposal at the end of its service life. Our design directives regarding environmentally compatible design specify the use of materials which are easily recyclable and can be disassembled. The metals which make up approx. 90 % of the switchgear are easily recyclable. At the end of their service life, they are recycled 100 % in the form of homogenous materials. Plastics can also be recycled. Thermosetting i.e. non-melting plastics can be comminuted and reused as fillers in other plastic components; thermoplastic - i.e. melting - materials can be recycled in the form of homogenous material. This means that the material is conserved, melted down and used for the construction of new durable parts. To ensure efficient and environmentally compatible disassembly and assignment of materials by the responsible disposal experts, the switchgears plastic components have been identified accordingly. Moreover, material and utilization data sheets are available to provide the customer with an over- view about the materials used. Equally, the disposal company is provided with important information regarding the recycling process. Thus, the materials used for our products can be reused 100 %. This represents a major contribution towards saving primary energy and material resources. All materials were selected and developed so that e.g. in case of fire within buildings, affected switchgear only have a minor influence on the fire load (heat development, pollutants in the emissions). Another important ecological aspect is the longevity of our products (min. 30 to 40 years), which is an extremely long service life compared to other capital goods. Furthermore, the switchgear units have been designed so as to require little maintenance which would in turn use up energy and material, and so as to enable straightforward replacement of part components, e.g. if new controllers have been developed on the market (upgrading). In our gas-insulated switchgear WI, the majority of the switchgear panel has been sealed hermetically in an insulating inert gas (sulphur hexafluoride SF6 which is neither reactive nor toxic). Thus, all environmental influences reducing the service life are shut out. The special characteristics of the insulating gas also enable an overall size reduction by approx. 50 percent versus switchgear designed without insulating gas with comparable technical properties. This again saves a lot of material and energy required for material production. The portion of insulating gas used for WI switchgear amounts to approx. 0.5 percent by weight. Once the switchgears service life has elapsed, the gas is extracted completely via the disposal valve provided serially in each gas-filled, cladded compartment, and then recycled. The gas suppliers have developed an efficient recycling concept to this effect. During normal operation, the gas need not be replenished during the entire service life of the switchgear. The switchgear is a hermetically sealed pressure system acc. to IEC 60694 (IEC 62271-1).

Shipping instructions

Transporting the switchgear unit


When transporting the switchgear unit, it is important to ensure that the transport units do not slip or tilt (if necessary, nail transport pallet down to the loading surface). Reuse the original packaging to store parts which have been unpacked for inspection.

Packaging of the switchgear


If packed for truck transport, the switchgear unit is delivered on a pallet with PE protective film. For sea-worthy transport, the units are packed in sealed aluminium film with desiccant and in a closed case with tightly closed wooden base. In case of air transport, the switchgear unit is packed in a wooden crate with closed wooden base and with a blister IPE film as dust protection or in a wooden case, also with closed wooden base.

Transport to the site of installation


Store under conditions admissible for switchgear operation. Avoid condensation. During transport to the site of installation, remember that the main weight is located in the top area of the switchgear top-heavy. Transport using a forklift truck: Only transport the switchgear on a pallet. Attention top-heavy! Transport without pallet: The crane mounting harness must be hooked into the jack rings of the switchgear.
