4.1 General
The Sabre VRN6a is a non extensible RMU comprising of a tee-off vacuum circuit breaker and two fault-make load break ring
switches contained within a common SF6 gas insulated stainless steel enclosure. The unit is suitable for both indoor and outdoor
applications used as a freestanding unit complying with ENATS 41.36.
4.2 Stainless Steel Gas Enclosure

The gas enclosure is manufactured from stainless steel and fabricated utilising automatic 'robot welding' techniques to produce
consistent leak- free equipment.
4.3 Housing
The housing of the Sabre VRN6a is fully treated; using zinc coated steel and electrostatically applied oven cured paint, to resist
weather and pollution attacks. All units are provided with a hinged, weatherproof and lockable door. The external support legs can
provide a Tee-Off bushing height of 1402mm, 1320mm or 1100mm.
4.4 Tee-Off Circuit Breaker

The tee-off circuit breaker comprises of three vacuum interrupters, which have a fault-make, fault-break rating. Opening of the circuit
breaker is achieved by manually operating the handle as standard.
Earthing of the outgoing cable, from the tee-off circuit breaker, is achieved by the use of the circuit breaker and in series with the off-
load disconnector.
4.5 Ring Switches

The two ring switches are of the single break, fault-make / load- break 3 position types, 'ON', 'OFF' and 'EARTH'.
4.6 Operation
All operating positions and instructions are indicated on the main panel at the front of the unit. Operation is by means of manually
independent mechanisms, which are mounted externally to the gas enclosure.
The tee-off vacuum circuit breaker has two operating positions, 'ON' or 'OFF', with an off-load interlocked disconnector allowing
isolation & earthing of the tee-off circuit.
A single, "Y"-bar type operating handle is stored at the front door. Symbols located on the end of the operating handle indicate
direction of operation.
4.7 Test Facilities

The Sabre VRN6a has fully interlocked integrated ring switch and CB T-off cable test facilities in accordance with ENATS 41-36
requirements. Access to the ring switch test terminals is achieved by pulling knob (item 13) ‘Ring Switch Cable Test Access Cover
Release’, located at the bottom of the front fascia of the unit. This will allow the cover underneath the unit to drop down.
Access to the circuit breaker test terminals is achieved by rotating (item 23) ‘Test Access Cover Release’ in an anticlockwise direction.
Note: The cover will only open when (item 21) ‘CB Test Interlock’ is in the ‘unlock’ position.
4.8 Interlocks
Positive safety interlocks are incorporated on all switch and circuit breaker positions.
4.9 Padlocks
The door has a quarter-turn handle that can be padlocked. The handle has a padlock hasp
hole size 8mm diameter.
All switch and selector positions can be padlocked. The padlock hasp hole size is 8.5mm
diameter.

5 Sabre Unit Installation
Electrical testing done during the commissioning phase of installation is

to be completed by competent and responsible electrical personnel only.
5.1 Receipt and Storage of Unit

Units are shipped with covers closed and bolted, (all switches are in the closed position), with temporary protective covers over Tee-
Off bushings. If the units are to be stored for long periods, a dry well ventilated area should be provided. Covers should be left closed
to minimise breathing – especially in situations with wide daily temperature variations.
The Sabre VRN6a unit undergoes strict quality checks during manufacturing and despatch at the Lucy production facility, prior to it
being delivered to the customer. Ensure that during transit the unit has not sustained any damage, if so then contact the manufacturer
and/or supplier immediately.
DO NOT OPERATE the unit if it is damaged.

5.3.1 Unit Location

Authorities will have their preferred instructions for the installation of electrical equipment and these must be adhered to. If none are
available, however, the following sequence is recommended.
1. Prepare the plinth, casting in floor chases in accordance with the Company's contract or arrangement drawings.
2. Locate the unit, loosely assemble the floor fixings and grout in the rag bolts.
3. When the cement has hardened, tighten the fixings - shimming under the unit base as required to level the unit and ensure that it
rests equally at each fixing.
Metering Units for connection to transformers are equipped with jacking studs, which facilitate accurate final alignment with the
transformer flange.
5.4 Stand Cross Brace Removal

Once the VRN6a unit has been securely bolted to the floor as previously described or transformer mounted, the two stand front cross
braces can be removed to give more access to the cable test access area.
These front cross braces can

be removed after installation

6 Commissioning Tests
6.1 Main Circuit Resistance Tests
NOTE: It is recommended that Electrical Circuit Resistance readings are taken. This is to ensure good working order of all moving
parts inside the unit, and to make sure the unit is safe to operate for testing.
Resistance readings should be taken for the following circuit path for each phase:
Ring switch 1 to ring switch 2
Ring switch 1 to T-Off
Ring switch 2 to T-Off
These readings taken are to be compared with the following maximum values.
Circuit Resistance
Value
(microhms)
Ring Switch To Ring Switch 260
Ring Switch To T-Off 265
Any readings which are above these maximum values should be reported to appropriate supervising personal for review.

6.2 Insulation resistance testing
Insulation resistance testing is conducted at 1kV in accordance with international standards
In addition to this, the Sabre VRN6a unit is also tested at 2kV during the manufacturing process and is not required to be re-
tested at this voltage level.
It is recommended that sensitive electronic devices, motors and actuators, be detached from the unit prior to testing (this
includes any case earths found on relays etc). 1kV testing across auxiliary indication wiring and contacts across EFI’s/FPI’s
is not recommended, unless approved by the manufacturer. If testing is conducted across such contacts, the applied test
voltage must not exceed 1kV.
6.2.1 1 kV test.
• oÉãçîÉ=íÜÉ=É~êíÜ=äáåâ=EëÉÉ=ÄÉäçïFK
• Where units are not fitted with a removable earth link, ensure all earths are
removed from the unit, both internally and externally.
• If protection relays are fitted remove the relay from its housing on the front of the
unit before commencing test.
• Attach the black (negative) lead of the test set to the unit at any point where a
bolted connection is present (nut etc.).
• Using the red (positive) lead as a probe, test each of the connections located on
the terminal block in the Marshalling box for approx 2 seconds.
• Any indication of continuity should be investigated and rectified.
Removal of the Earth link
Position of earth link 2. Lift link with finger. 3. Rotate the link completely
away from the terminal.

6.3 HV Tests
The following tests are to be undertaken AFTER ensuring the Main Circuit Resistance’ readings are within specification (Section ’6.1
Main Circuit Resistance Tests’ on page 13).
For HV tests, the circuit breaker must be in the ‘ON’ position, and the following tests be taken through the cable terminals.
• Measure the insulation resistance to earth of each of the three terminals in turn, with the other two earthed. The readings should
not be less than 100 megohms, lower values may indicate damaged or dirty insulation.
WARNING: THE FOLLOWING TESTS SHOULD NOT BE UNDERTAKEN IF THESE READINGS ARE LESS THAN 100
MEGOHMS.
6.3.1 Power Frequency Testing
These test values are to IEC 60694.
Conduct these tests as follows:
• Ensure unit has correct gas pressure.
• Ensure the tripper is shorted out before testing.
• Ensure the VPIS system (if fitted) is shorted to earth.
• Follow the test schedule below (see diagram for labelling).

6.6 VPIS & NEON Indication (if fitted)
Both VPIS (voltage presence indication system) & neon indication systems are available as an option.
The VPIS system is generally in accordance with IEC 61958 and is complete with voltage limiting devices to ensure safety in the
event of an insulation failure.
VPIS can be used to test both for correct phase orientation of cables and for the presence of voltage. The VPIS system can be the
Pfisterer type (4mm sockets HR system using relevant HR adapters) which comply with IEC 61243-5 either with or without push
button neons.
Pfisterer Type 4mm Sockets
The following checks should be made during commissioning where applicable.

6.6.1 Pickup voltage
For a 12kV unit this value will be below 5kV.
• Using a high voltage test set, apply the appropriate voltage to the unit between the selected phase (left or right side) and earth.
• Insert the appropriate neon test device into the relevant socket and check that voltage presence is indicated by the flashing neon
(in some cases the flashing may be very rapid and appear as continuous).
6.6.2 Crossover voltage
Once it is determined that the Neon indicators are functional and correct pickup values determined, proceed to completing a
crossover check. Test as follows:
• Using a high voltage test set, apply the appropriate voltage to the unit between the selected phase (left or right side) and earth.
For 12kV units this is normally 6.9kV.
• Insert a neon indicator into the appropriate phase and check operation.
• With power maintained on the unit, check each of the other phase neon's (both left and right) for any indication of voltage. There
should be no indication on the other phases.
6.6.3 Phase comparator
The Pfisterer phase comparator can be used to determine correct phase connection of a cabled unit. Test as follows:
• Ensure both ring switches are open if the HV cables are going to be used to carry out the test.
• For 12kV and higher system voltages, ensure the HR - LRM adapter is inserted into the sockets (or the Pfisterer converter).
Pfisterer Type 4mm Sockets

• Connect the comparator according to the manufacturer's instructions and check the unit for correct connection of phase cables
according to the coloured lights.
• The comparator can also be used as a neon voltage presence indicator.
• The T-Off may also be tested providing the T-Off neon assembly has been fitted.
6.7 Shunt Trip (if fitted)

Where shunt trip terminals have been fitted in the marshalling box, the following procedure is to be followed to ensure effective
operation of the shunt trip device.
• Locate the shunt trip terminals on the marshalling box using the supplied wiring diagram to confirm the terminal numbering.
• Using appropriate test set, apply voltage to the two previously identified terminals.
Note:
• If the unit is fitted with a DC shunt coil then tests should be done at 70% & 110% rated voltage.
• If the unit has an AC coil fitted, then testing should be done at 85% & 110% of rated voltage.
• The unit should trip.
• The operation of the shunt trip device is thereby confirmed. Any unexpected tripping operation during testing should be investi-
gated and reported to the appropriate responsible person/supervisor.
6.8 Auxiliary Wiring Switch testing

Auxiliary wiring should be checked for continuity as well as various auxiliary switches and contacts. Please refer to the supplied
marshalling box wiring diagram.
The following are to be checked on the unit, to ensure correct operation, before completing installation:
• Ring switch auxiliary contacts.
• CB/T-Off auxiliary contacts.
• Motorization indication circuits - operation of motor actuation should be checked if fitted/supplied with the unit.

4.7 Requirements for the main C.T.s
The advantage of self-powered overcurrent relays is

that they do not need any auxiliary power supply. This
results from the fact that the overcurrent relay and the
tripping unit receive their energy from the main C.T.s.
The tripping principle of the WIP1 is that the trans-
former current is driven through the tripping coil in case

This means the result for Smax must not be higher than

phase fault must be calculated as per eq. 1. This results
in a setting value of 0.5 A. And finally, eq. 8 can be used to calculate the rated
power of the transformer.
According to diagram 1 the impedance of the WIP1
at 0.45 A is approx. 8 Ω. SN = 2.9 Ω x (1 A)2 = 2.9 VA
The resistance of the coil can be calculated as follows

be 0.5 Ω.
This means that this current transformer can be used.
According to eq. 4 the maximum impedance is as fol-
lows:
Zmax = 57.9 Ω.
Now the maximum voltage Umax can be calculated with

eq. 3.
Umax = 0,5 A x 57.9 Ω = 28.95 V
If a current transformer class 10P10 is used the result-

ing overcurrent factor is ü = 10. This permits calcula-
tion of the maximum power of transformer Smax in ac-
cordance with eq. 5.
Smax = 28.95 V x 10 x 1 A = 289.5 VA

data on site.
•the current transformer circuits are connected to the
relay correctly.
•all signal circuits and output relay circuits are con-
nected correctly.

6.3 Primary injection test
Generally, a primary injection test could be carried out

in the similar manner as the secondary injection test
described above. Since the cost and potential hazards
are very high for such a test, primary injection tests are
usually limited to very important protective relays in the
power system.
Because of its powerful combined indicating and

measuring functions, the WIP1 relay may be tested in
the manner of a primary injection test without extra ex-
penditure and time consumption.
In actual service, for example, the measured current
values on the WIP1 relay display may be compared
phase by phase with the current indications of the am-
meter of the switchboard to verify that the relay works
and measures correctly.
6.4 Maintenance
Maintenance testing is generally done on site at regu-

lar intervals. These intervals vary among users depend-
ing on many factors: e.g. the type of protective relays
employed; the importance of the primary equipment
being protected; the user's past experience with the re-
lay, etc.
For electromechanical or static relays, maintenance test-

ing will be performed at least once a year according
to the experiences. For digital relays like WIP1, this in-
terval can be substantially longer. This is because:
•the WIP1 relays are equipped with very wide self-

supervision functions, so that many faults in the relay
can be detected and signalized during service. Im-
portant: The self-supervision output relay must be
connected to a central alarm panel!
•the combined measuring functions of WIP1 relays
enable supervision the relay functions during service.
A testing interval of two years for maintenance will,

therefore, be recommended.
During a maintenance test, the relay functions including
the operating values and relay tripping characteristics
as well as the operating times should be tested.

L – Long time delay setting ( I1 )

Setting the current value I1 or L is a function of In. For example on a 1000A MCCB
required to protect a system load of 800A you would set to 0.8 x In = 0.8 x 1000 = 800A.
This setting can be adjusted 0.4 – 1 x In using the dip switch settings under L.
There is also a time setting t1 used to adjust the length of time required the MCCB will
accept a current as adjusted for I1. Generally this setting is made according to the
requirements of the load eg a motor requires a longer time. For power distribution setting is
generally 12 - 18 sec.
When adjusting a Tmax MCCB the setting follows In x (0.4 + 0.04, 0.05, 0.16, 0.32).
Isomax follows a direct In x dip switch indication.
S – Short time delay setting ( I2 ) (Excludeable in some cases)

Setting the current value of I2 or S is also a function of In. This function is protection against
short-circuit with a time delay. In general for power distribution this value is set to 4 – 8 x
In.
Time setting t2 is generally set to 0.25 sec in the case above.

I2 has an additional setting for t2 – t = k or I t = k (See curve above). This function is
generally used in areas where MCCB’s are to discriminate.
When adjusting a Tmax MCCB the setting follows In x sum of (1 +1.5 +2+5.5). Isomax
follows a direct In x dip switch indication.
I – Short-circuit Instantaneous setting ( I3 ) (Excludeable in some cases)

Setting I3 or I is also a function of I1. This protection is in general set to 6 – 12 x In. There
is no time delay setting for this function.
In some cases you can exclude this function in favour of the I2 or S function. In particular
when discrimination is required.
G – Ground fault setting ( I4 ) (Not present in all cases)

Also a function of In. The ground fault is protection against earth fault and is not to be
confused with earth leakage. Setting is made in relation to I1 as before. Generally this
function is not present but when it is set to 0.4 x In. A time delay setting is provided and can
be set to 200 or 400 msec.
When adjusting a Tmax MCCB the setting follows In x sum of (0.2 +0.25 +0.55). Isomax
follows a direct In x dip switch indication.
