partitioned zones:
• main busbar area (position 1) –
situated in the top rear part of the
column for In≤ 3200A or in the
rear part for In=4000A/5000A;
• switchgear area (position 2) –
located in the front part of the
column; the space designated to
each functional unit is vertically
defined as a number of 175mm
high modules;
• distribution busbar area (position 3)
– always at the rear of switchgear
area;
• cables connection area (position 4)
– located in the right-side area of
the column.

FOR 400/230 VAC AND 48...220 VDC

21
400/230 VAC and 48...220 VDC auxiliary
services supply cabinets
Auxiliary services supply cabinets are
designed for feeding low voltage
own consumers from:
• 400/220/110/20(6kV) power
stations;
• Hydropower plants;
• Thermo power plants.
Own services consumers can
be fed with AC power supply
(400/230VAC) (except the
consumers for which, due to security
reasons, lower voltage is mandatory)
or with DC power supply, usual
voltages being 24, 48, 110, 220
VDC.
22 AUXILIARY SERVICES SUPPLY CABINETS FOR 400/230 VAC AND 48...220 VDC
DC own consumers:
• protection devices;
• automation units;
• interlocks;
• metering, measuring and
signalling devices;
• remote terminal units;
• emergency lighting.
Usually the cabinet has two
independent AC power supplies
provided by auxiliary service
transformers. The cabinet has two
single busbar systems coupled
through a bus-tie.
Automatic source changeover can
be provided at request.
The DC auxiliary services cabinet
have the same configuration except
the power supplies which are usually
provided by battery systems.
AC own consumers usually are:
• transformers and
autotransformers cooling systems;
• voltage regulation equipment;
• battery chargers;
• battery ventilation systems;
• operating mechanism for breakers
and switches;
• fire alarm system;
• lighting equipments;
• heating equipments;
• AC circuits for metering,
protection, automation.
Functionalities
AC/DC auxiliary services supply
cabinet provides the following
functions:
• main busbar connection to
power suppllies (auxiliary service
transformers, AC generators,
baterries and rectifiers);
• loads connection to distribution
busbar;
• overload and short-circuit
protection for busbar and loads;
• metering of electrical parameters
(current, voltage) for incoming
supply and busbar system;
• local and remote control for
connection;
• automatic source changeover for
AC auxiliary services supply
cabinets;
• working status signalization;
• safety of operators;
• circuits testing.
For AC services cabinets, the
following measurements and
signalling can be provided:
• busbar voltage;
• frequency and power factor
metering;
• measurement of active/reactive
energy of incoming supply;
• current/ voltage measurements on
loads circuits;
• automatic source changeover of
power supplies;
• circuit breakers status signalling
(position, fault) for incoming and
outgoing circuits.
For DC services cabinets, the
following measurements and
signalling can be provided:
• busbar voltage metering;
• battery (or rectifiers) currents
measuring;
• busbar insulation fault detection;
• no voltage, undervoltage and
overvoltage signalling;
• battery status (insulation, voltage
level, charging current, capacity);
• circuit breakers status signalling
(position, fault) for incoming and
outgoing circuits.
Measured parameters can be
transmitted to other control centres,
using convertors (transducers) with
4…20 mA unified signal or through
communication network (Modbus,
Profibus or other transmission
protocols).
Cabinet presentation
• one or more steel enclosures
with transparent doors, with
front or front/rear access (by
request).
• distribution system made with
copper bars and fixed busbar
supports, located in the top part
of the cabinet, protected against
direct contact.
• withdrawable circuit breakers
for incoming feeders (from
transformers or rectifiers/
batteries), with auxiliary contact
for open/close/tripped signalling,
with manual or remote control.
• circuit breakers for outgoings
fixed or withdrawable (most
common case), with auxiliary
contacts.
• metering devices: ammeter,
voltmeter, power factor meter,
frequency meter, etc.
• insulation fault detectors.
• local control and signalling
equipment’s: pushbuttons,
lamps, position indicators.
• connection terminals for
power and control and signalling
circuits.
AUXILIARY SERVICES SUPPLY CABINETS FOR 400/230 VAC AND 48...220 VDC
Cabinet architecture
• usually, AC/DC auxiliary services
supply cabinets are realized in
one or more associated steel
enclosures with transparent doors,
allowing visual access of the
equipment without opening the
door.
• equipments are mounted on
a mounting plate located in the
backside of the enclosure, access
being possible from the front side
of the cabinet.
• on request and according to the
application type, equipments can
be mounted on both sides of the
mounting panel. In these cases
front/rear access is provided.
• metering devices, control and
signalling equipments are
mounted on dedicated hinged
front plates located in the upper
part of the cabinet.
• the cable entry is done through
the lower side of the cabinet,
through dedicated gland plates.
On request, the cable access is
possible through the top part of
the cabinet.
• switchboard lighting, opening,
16A/230V a.c. outlet, heating
element with thermal control are
provided as standard.
• the cabinets are floor mounting
type; 100mm or 200mm high
plinths are available.
• Romanian language labelling
(other languages on request) is
provided.
• RAL 7035 powder paint colour
finishing.
