General
SYSclad is a medium voltage switchboard metal clad type, air insulated, equipped with vacuum circuit breaker
suitable for the primary distribution. The switchboard is modular and is made up by placing standardized units
side by side in a coordinated way.
The unit compartments are metallically segregated from each other and the live parts are air insulated.
The switchboard functional units are guaranteed to be arc‐proof in compliance with IEC 62271‐200 Annex A.
The switchboard is fitted with all the interlocks needed for high level of safety for equipment and personnel, as
well as reliable operation.

Characteristics of the switchgear
Compartments
Each switchgear consist of three compartments: Busbar, feeder/cable and circuit breaker, and of three auxiliary
compartments : instruments, auxiliary circuit interconnection wiring duct and voltage transformers .
The arc proof switchgear is also fitted with a duct to evacuate the gases produced by a possible internal arc. All
the compartments are metallically segregated from each other.
Main busbars
Branch connections
The feeder/cable compartment houses the branch connection system to connect the power cables to the fixed
isolating contacts of the circuit breaker.
The branch connections are made of electrolytic copper.
Earthing switch
Each incoming/outgoing feeder unit can be fitted with an earthing switch to earth the cables. The same device
can also be used to earth the busbar system (measuring, bus tie and riser units). The earthing switch is fitted
with short‐circuit making capacity.

Earthing busbar
The monoblocs consist of bushing insulators containing the top and bottom power connections of the circuit
breaker compartment, towards the feeder and busbar compartments respectively.
The shutters are of metallic type and are automatically operated when the circuit breaker moves from the isolated
position to the connected position and vice versa.
They can be fitted with a fail‐safe device (optional) to prevent their being manually opened with the circuit breaker
removed and the door open.
Each shutter can be locked using two independent padlocks (optional).

Characteristics of the switchgear
Interlocks
The switchgear is fitted with all the interlocks needed for high level of safety for equipment and personnel, as
well as reliable operation.
In particular, interlocks are provided for the following :
‐ circuit breaker can only be operated when it is in service and test position ( not in intermediate position ).
‐ circuit breaker can only be racked in or rack out when it is in open position.
‐ circuit breaker compartment door can not be open when it is in the service or intermediate position.
‐ circuit breaker can not be racked in with the compartment door open.
‐ circuit breaker can not be racked in when the earth switch is closed.
‐ earth switch can not be closed when the breaker is in service or intermediate position.
Optional key interlocks can be provided to meet special requirement on request.
Voltage transformers
The voltage transformer, Tesar manufacturing, are of the type insulated in resin and are used for power
supply to measuring instruments and protection. They are available either for fixed installation or mounted on
withdrawable trucks.
They comply with IEC 60044‐2 Standards. The dimensions of the version used for fixed assembly comply with
DIN 42600 Narrow type Standards. On the other hand, the ones installed on a withdrawable truck are the
dedicated type. These transformers can have one or two poles, with performances and classes of precision
suited to the functional requirements of the instrument connected to them.
When they are installed on withdrawable trucks, they are fitted with medium voltage protection fuses.
Current transformer
The current transformers, Tesar manufacturing, are of the type insulated in resin and are used for power
supply to measuring instruments and protections. These transformers can either have a wound core or
through bar with one or more cores, with performance and precision classes suited to the installation
requirements.
They comply with IEC 60044‐1 Standards.
Their dimensions are usually according to the DIN 42600 Narrow Type Standard, in the Medium and Long Size
versions. The switchgear unit can be equipped with one or two sets of three transformers.

Degrees of protection
The degrees of protection of the switchboard comply with IEC 60529 / CEI EN 60529 Standards.
SYSclad switchboard are normally supplied with the following standard degrees of protection:
• external housing IP4X
• inside the units IP2X
Higher IP rating are available on request.
Environmental conditions
The switchgear ratings are guaranteed under the following environmental conditions:
Minimum ambient temperature ‐ 5 °C
Maximum ambient temperature + 40 °C
Maximum relative humidity 95%
Maximum altitude 1000 m
In presence of unpolluted and non‐corrosive atmosphere
Standards
The SYSclad and the main equipment it contains comply with the following Standards:
• IEC 62271‐100 for circuit breaker
• IEC 62271‐200 for switchboard
• IEC 62271‐102 for the earthing switch
• IEC 60694 for general application
The IEC 62271‐200 Standard has introduced new criteria regarding the definitions and classification of MV
switchgear. One of the main changes introduced by this Standards is elimination of the classification of
switchgear in metal‐clad, divided into compartments and in units. The classification of switchgear has been
reviewed taking into account the viewpoint of the user, particularly regarding some aspects such as operability
and maintenance of the switchgear, according to the requirements and expectations of good management of
substations, from installation to dismantling. In this context, the “loss of service continuity” has been chosen as
the fundamental criterion for the user.
According to the updated standards, SYSclad switchgear can be defined as follows:
1. Compartment with access controlled by an interlock
Compartment containing high voltage parts, designed to be open for normal service and/or normal
maintenance, where access is controlled by the overall configuration of the switchgear and by the control
apparatus.
2. Compartment with access based on a procedure
Compartment containing high voltage parts, designed to be open for normal service and/or normal
maintenance, where access is controlled by an adequate procedure associated with a locked status.
3. LSC2B
Busbar, feeder and apparatus compartments physically and electrically segregated.
This category defines the possibility of opening one of the main circuit compartments keeping the other
compartments and/or function units energized.
4. Partition class
Metal‐clad switchgear and control apparatus which offer continuous metallic segregation and/or shutters
(if applicable), destined to be earthed, among the freely accessed compartments and the live parts of the
main circuit.
The metallic segregations and shutters or the metallic parts of these, must be connected to the earthing
point of the functional unit.

Characteristics of the VCB
General
The WL/r circuit breaker use vacuum as the interruption and insulating medium.
Thanks to the advance techniques used for their construction, the WL/r circuit breaker ensure high
performances under all service conditions.
The vacuum interrupter are embedded in the poles made of epoxy resin. This construction means the
interrupter are unaffected by shocks, humidity and environmental pollution.
The circuit breaker poles, making up the interruption part, are sealed for life pressure systems (IEC 62271‐100
and CEI 17.1 Standards) and are maintenance‐free.
The WL/r circuit breaker are provided with mechanical stored energy operating mechanisms with free trip and
allow opening and closing operations independent of the operator’s actions.
