Issues o f Aging Switchgear

• Age Of Equipment
We are frequently asked how long we expect the switchgear to last in service;
what is the design life of our products. There is absolutely nothing in any
industry standard that addresses this question. However, for the over 40 years
that we've been in the industry, most manufacturers have rather consistently
answered this question with an estimate of 20 to 40 years of useful service life.
There are numerous installations of switchgear which have been in service for
40 years or more.

Issues o f Aging Switchgear

• Age Of Equipment
All depend on:
◦ Environment conditions: harsh environment ,normal environment
◦ Periodically maintenance

Ground rules:
◦ Install it properly
◦
◦ Keep it dry: moisture is great enemy o f insulation
◦ Take care o f it: cleaned and lubricated

• Lack of modern technologies

o Oil type circuit breaker vs

Issues o f Aging Switchgear

• Safety issues of personals

In general, switchgear has a proven record

of reliability and performance. Failures are
rare but where they occur the results may
be catastrophic. In the case of oil - filled
switchgear, can result in the ejection of
burning oil and gas clouds, causing death
or serious injury .

• Not being maintained properly
• Predictive Maintenance
Online monitoring or schedule based on diagnostic

• Preventive Maintenance

Arc flash protection

An Arc Flash or an Electric Arc is

the rapid and dangerous release of

energy due to an electrical arcing

fault . It happens in a fraction of a

second even faster that you can

blink your eye and can have

devastating consequences for

anyone exposed .
 SHAPING THE ENERGY

Arc flash protection

Typical results from Arc Flash
• Burns

• Fire could spread rapidly

• Flying object : pieces of metals

• Blast pressure over 2000 lbs/ sq.ft (97.7 KN/ m 2.

• Heat upwards of 35,000 deg F (19,000 deg C)

• Sound Blast up to 140dB (loud as gun)

Arc flash protection

Arc Flash Boundary - NFPA 70E

Staying away from the

equipment is an easy
way to keep safe, but
sometimes a worker
simply must get closer in
order to do their work. In
this case, the Arc Flash
Boundary offers another,
related benefit; it tells
workers when they need
specific gear.

Arc flash protection

Arc Flash Boundary - NFPA 70E

Flash Protection Boundary (outer boundary):

The flash protection boundary is the farthest established

boundary from the energy source. If an arc flash occurred, this
boundary is where an employee would be exposed t o a curable
second degree burn (1.2 calories/cm2).
When an energized conductor is exposed, you may not
approach closer than the flash boundary without wearing
appropriate personal protective clothing and personal protective
equipment.

Arc flash protection

Arc Flash Boundary - NFPA 70E

Limited approach Boundary :

The limited approach boundary is the minimum distance from an

exposed live component where unqualified personnel may safely
stand.
No untrained personnel may approach ener gized par t s
any closer in this
boundary unless under the supervision of a qualified worker
and using proper PPE.
A qualified person must use the appropriate PPE and be trained
to perform the required work to cross the limited approach
boundary and enter the limited space
 SHAPING THE ENERGY

Arc flash protection

Arc Flash Boundary - NFPA70E
Restricted approach Boundary :

The restricted approach boundary is the distance from an

exposed part which is considered the same as making contact
with the live part.
Only qualified personnel wearing appropriate personal
protective equipment (PPE), having specified training to work on
energized conductors or components, and a documented plan
justifying the need to perform this work may cross the boundary
and enter the Restricted Space.
Insulated gloves, tools, and equipment are required within this
boundary.

Life Extension Program

Definition of life stages
In general, the switchgear can be in one of the following life cycle stages regarding the
years of life:

• Early life: up to 9 years

• Mid life: from 10 to 20 years

• Late life: more than 20 years

Duration stages will be decreased if the number of apparatus operations exceeds the following
typical values (see the relevant user manual to find out the maximum number of operations for
the specific apparatus) :

Retrofit Concept

RETROFIT means the implementation of modern

components (primary switching devices and
digital protection/control tech - nology ) in the
existing MV installation with following benefits

• Cheaper than a complete replacement

• Short implementation time for replacement
• Minimum shutdown of the switchboard
• Remaining service life extension
• Improved operator protection
• Minimisation of further maintenance costs
• Warranty on the conversion work
• Spare parts availability for long time
 SHAPING THE ENERGY

Retrofit
Conversion The conversion method utilizes the existing circuit breaker truck
together with some portion of the existing parts, to build a new
device that interfaces with the existing switchgear. Depending on
the condition and future life span of the existing components,
some parts may be re- used. They can be power and auxiliary
contacts, arms and interlock, etc.

Roll-in The roll- in replacement circuit breaker is a completely new device

replacement built around a modern fixed assembly and does not incorporate
original parts. A properly designed replacement
circuit breaker is fully interchangeable with the existing one and
does not require significant modifications to the switchgear.

Retrofill Retrofill is a modernization process including the replacement of

the circuit breaker and some of the functional components of the
power compartments . It is applicable where the existing
switchgear in serviceable condition . Two design concepts can be
applied depending of the requirements .
