VACUUM METALCLAD SWITCHGEARSingle-busbar Metalclad Switchgear ¥ Metalclad, fully compartmentalised ¥ Horizontal isolation, horizontal drawout ¥ Fully rated fault-make earthing switch Y Interlocked for safety Y Internal are-fault proven ¥ Earthquake proven Y Passed climatic aging tests Y Simple installation ¥ Readily extensible ¥ Minimal maintenanceCubicle Made of high grade pickled-&-oiled mild steel! sheets, cut and folded on numerically controlled machines, the cubicle parts are painted by an advanced Cathodic Electro- Deposition (CED) process which provides optimum protection against corrosion and weathering. (See Tameo Brochure TCH ED 001), The paint work is tested to withstand 1000 hours in a 5% salt spray, in accordance with Japanese standard JIS-2-2371. ‘The cubicle parts are riveted/bolted together to form a rigid enclosure with fully segregated busbar compartment, circuit compartment, VCB compartment, and low voltage ‘compartment. The construction complies fully with the requirements of a metalclad enclosure as defined in IEC 60298 Standard ingress protection is IP3X as per IEC 60529. Higher IP ratings up to IP41 are available on request, To prove its suitability for service in severe climatic conditions, the switchgear has been subjected to climatic aging tests according to IEC 60932, and proven to Design Class 2 (the highest class). ‘The switchgear has been designed and tested to ensure the safety of the operator in the event ofan intemal are-fault. Are vents are provided in the busbar, circuit and VCB compariments, The switchgear has also been successfully tested to withstand seismic forces of 5 - 7 on the Richter scale, in accordance with IEC 60068-2-59 and IEC 60068-3-3.Bushar Cable compartment Other key design features are: Busbars~ Although classified as air-insulated, the busbars are covered with solid insulation throughout their length including the joints, to enhance insulation security. Shutters - Automatic metal shutters are provided to close off access to live parts when the VCB is isolated or withdrawn, The shutters can be padlocked independently. Front door - The VCB compartment is fitted with a padlockable front door which not only provides a flush frontage to the switchboard line-up, but also upholds the integrity of the ingress protection (IP) rating even the VCB is isolated or withdrawn. Height of live parts - No live parts are located less than 300mm above floor level. This feature provides an added measure of security in case the switchgear is installed ina low lying area. Cabling space - The cable termination height is more than 750mm above floor level, and ‘generous space is provided for terminating the power cable. This feature is much appreciated by cable jointers and operating personnel. Current Transformers Ring type CTs are mounted on earthed con- denser bushings. This mounting arrangement offers a high degree of flexibility. Wound pri- mary CTs can also be accommodated.Potential Transformers PTs are mounted on the rear of the cubicle, usually in the upper part of the circuit ‘compartment. The PTs are fused protected on both primary and secondary sides. 3 mounting options are offered; fixed, ‘olatable, (preferred) and drawout. The olatable design offers the advantages of isolation without having to put up with the inconvenience of a conventional drawout PT. Earthing Switch Circuit earthing is effected by a fault-make carthing switch interlocked with the VCB. The switch is tested to make and carry the rated short-circuit current for 3 Seconds, in accordance with IEC 60129. Earthing by ‘means of an integral earthing switch is proven to be safe, simple and reliable, Busbar earthing is effected by a busbar earthing switch usually mounted at the bus- section panel, Low Voltage Compartment Relays, instruments and pilot devices are mounted in the low voltage compartment at the front of the cubicle. The standard 1,926m height provides ample space for normal distribution applications, but an additional chamber can be mounted on top, ifnecessary, for more complex protection and control schemes. Safety Interlocks Operator safety is paramount in the design of the switchgear. Robust mechanical interlocks are provided to ensure: © VCB cannot be engaged or withdrawn unless itis in the open position © VCB cannot be operated unless it isin the engaged or isolated position (not in between). © Earthing switch cannot be closed when the VCB is engaged. ‘© VCB cannot be engaged when the earthing switch is closed. Optional key interlocks are provided to meet specific operational requirements, Isolatable PT - disconnected Isolatable PT - connectedSub-cubicle - front Sub-cubicle ‘Type VHIH switchgear can be supplied in sub- cubicle (cassette) form to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM). ‘The sub-cubiele concept ensures that critical alignments are properly executed atthe factory prior to despatch, in order to simplify the OEM's job, Vacuum Circuit Breaker At the heart of the switehgear is the vacuum circuit breaker (VCB). The circuit breaker is truck mounted, and adopts the proven horizontal isolation / horizontal drawout principle, Vacuum interrupters - Tameo designs and manufactures VCB’s using vacuum interrupters from different sources to meet the diverse needs of the market. The trend in the interrupter design is to continuously reduce the vacuum envelope size and enhance short-circuit capability at the same time, Tameo’s VCB designs are continuously reviewed and upgraded to keep up with the latest development in vacuum technology. Mechanisms - One significant advantage VCB's have over other switching media is the comparatively low mechanical energy levels required to open or close a VCB. This translate toarclatively simple and light weight operating mechanism which can be manufactured to close tolerances, and which will perform consistently throughout the circuit breaker’s life-span without the need for periodic2 options of operating mechanisms are offered: - Hand charged spring, stored energy mechanism with manual and/or electrical release; ~ Motor charged spring, stored energy mechanism with manual and electrical release. Standard control voltages are 30V and ]10V De. Maintenance - The VCB requires minimal maintenance. Its design life-span is 20 years oF 10,000 operations, Nomenclature - The model numbers of Tameo VCBs observe the following nomenclature: VK - ## A HH A Model D - Double-busbar Reference H- Single-busbar 410= 12kV | 20 = 20kA 20= 24kV | 25 = 25kA 30 = 36kV | 32 = 31.5kA 40 = 40kA 50 = 50KA 630A 12508, P = 20008 Q=3150A, SIS0A VCB 630/1250A VCB 200A VBProduct Range - The current range of Tamco 12 kV single-busbar VCB is described in the following table.

Double-busbar Metalclad Switchgear Typical VHID Double-busbar switchgear lineup10 Double-busbar VCB Imost all the winning features of the VHIIH single-busbar design are retained in the VHID double-busbar version, which is in fact a natural extension of the single-busbar design. The cubicle has an additional busbar compartment. The "Main" and "Reserve" busbars are selected by lowering and raising the circuit breaker by means of a jackscrew built into the circuit breaker truck. This means of busbar selection is proven and offers the following advantages: © Reliable error-free operation © Minimum footprint © Minimum height By utilising a large number of parts in common with the single busbar design, Tamco is able (o offer double-busbar switchgear, with its aitendant operational flexibility, at a very competitive price.Product range - The current range of. following table.
