 Earthing switch Description and
electrical characteristics

Function
This device is used to short circuit and earth the cable ends.

Composition
DE40066

DE40065

b The earthing switch includes:

v a power circuit unit with fast acting closing mechanism independent of the operator
v an operating mechanism box to be mounted on the front face of the cubicle
v the link (rod) between the two devices. A drawing defines the installation
conditions which allow the panel builder to design the rod.

Power circuit unit 17.5 kV Power circuit unit 24 kV

Interlocking
DE40067

DE40068

Operating mechanism box
b When associated with Evolis circuit-breaker and cradle, the mechanical interlock
prevents:
v to rack in the circuit-breaker if the earthing switch is closed
v to close the earthing switch if the circuit-breaker is not racked out.
b In case of installation in the NEX cubicle, the mechanical interlock with the front
and/or rear plate of the cable compartment is part of the NEX license.
b In other case the design is under the responsibility of the panel builder.

This function enables the earthing switch to be locked in its open or closed position
by adding 1 or 2 key locks.
b The option includes mechanical adaptation kit. Keylocks are not supplied
b Three configurations are available:
v locked closed by 1 key lock + locked open by 1 key lock
v locked closed by 2 key locks
v locked open by 2 key locks.

the earthing switch

This function is achieved using a coil which blocks switching operation when not
energised. When energised it allows operation of the earthing switch.
This system is available in several versions according to the supply voltage:
24 VDC - 48 VDC - 110 VDC - 220 VDC.

Voltage Presence Indicator System (VPIS)

DE40074

(in case of no earthing switch)

The VPIS system allows to control the voltage presence on each phase of the main
circuit. It can be provided as an option with the earthing switch, (see description
page 5).
Voltage presence

DE40089

v provide mechanical support and insulation up to 17.5 kV or 24 kV

Capacitive divider
insulator up to 17.5 kV
v integrate capacitors able to supply a voltage signal;
b a voltage presence indicator unit with lights connected to the capacitor signal to
indicate the voltage presence on each phase. This indicator covers two voltage
ranges, in accordance with standard IEC 61958:
b 3.2 to 7.2 kV
b 10 to 24 kV.
