They can also bbe used in industry as motor control centres. 4.4.1. System TYPE The Holec Unitole system is an air insulated, metal enclosed switching and distribution syste for application in medium voltage installations. Itfits into the ‘metal enclosed switchgear’ category in accordance with IEC 298 including appendix AA. 1.1.2 SYSTEM CONSTRUCTION ‘A Unitole UP installation is constructed of sheet ‘metal switch panels, withdrawable vacuum circuit breakers and contactors, ‘The main busbar system is located above the panels. It is made up of copper bars supported in ‘each panel by insulators. To limit damage from an arc in the busbar compartment (and to direct it towards the end panels), the busbar system is located in a continuous busbar duct. The bars can be insulated As an option, the busbar compartment can be provided with partitions for each switch panel. Pressure relief valves at the top of the switchboards prevent overpressure in the switchboard that may bbe caused by an arc, The field name plate at the top of the front of each panel ensures that exhaust ‘gases are passed over and away from operating personnel [At the top of every switchboard an additional low voltage compartment (for secondary equipment), or a transformer compartment (for a voltage transformer), may be fitted, 99450982018 The installation is divided into fields (such as switch fields, a busbar section panel, etc). The width of 2 field is determined by the number of panels of which it is built up (usually one, sometimes two). The switchboard are available in three widths, depending on the equipment on the panel Models The Unitole UP may contain optional equipment such as built-on compartments, busbar insulating bushings, tapered bushings, et The table on page 4 and diagram on page 4 contain 2 summary of the models. For further information, refer to the technical data,4.2.

Earthing bush: Unitole UP switchgear contains a continuous earthing busbar to which all components of the installation can be connected. Earthing set ‘The simplest earthing is a short circuit proof earthing set. This is made up of four earthing cables connected with a neutral point. One of the cables is fitted with an earthing terminal, which is clamped to the earthing busber. ‘The other three cables have phase terminals; these are fitted to the cable or busbar to be earthed using an attachment stick Both types of earthing set are shown opposite. Earthing switch Each switch panel may be fitted with a short circuit proof earthing switch in each cable compartment. ‘The earthing switch connects the connection points of the cable with the earthing busbar. A mechanical interlock ensures that the earthing switch is always ‘open when the switch in the switch compartment is connected with the primary circuit: The earthing switch can be locked with a padlock. Some installations include special locks, ie, the use of a locking coil Earthing switch truck ‘An earthing switch truck is a switch truck with an earthing switch mounted on it. It ean be used for the earthing of a busber. Busbar earthing with earthing switch truck The earthing switch truck is inserted in the usual way, in the relevant switch panel. In the operating condition, the earthing switch makes contact with the earthing busbar in the panel and the busbar side isolating contacts. The earthing switch is ‘mechanically switched on with the panel door open. ‘Operating shaft of the earthing switch, at the bottom of the switch panel. 9945098- Sof 142 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 2.1.7 SwircHES Unitole UP switchgear may contain a multitude of ‘switching equipment. The main types of switches are: Circuit breakers A circuit breaker is made up of a set of three Holec vacuum interrupters and an operating mechanism. This assembly is mounted on a switch truck. When switching up to 2000, connections between cable and busbar are made via busbar strips with laminated contacts. Switches for heavier currents are fitted with tulip contacts Electrical control signals are supplied from the low voltage compartment via @ 40-pole secondary plug. ‘Mechanical and electrical interlocks prevent Unintentional switching, Contactors Contactors are used for the switching of motors and transformers (up to 7.2 kV). When switching a transformer or capacitor bank the nominal current is switched by the contactor; a short-circuit current is interrupted by fuses. Contactors exist in two versions: * latched whereby the ON condition is maintained (as with 2 circuit breaker) after switching on; the contactor can be switched off mechanically or electrically, + nontatched the contactor remains ON as long as the col is energised A contactor is fitted to a truck together with the relevant voltage transformers and fuses. With a short-circuit or overload the primary fuse trips and the striker pin of the fuse ensures that the contactor is switched off via an auxiliary contact. 994509 Gort 2.2 PANEL TYPES Unitole UP switchgear is built up in modular fashion of panels with different functions. Each panel consists of one or two switch panels. Below is a summary of the standard Unitole switchgear type of panels tis possible that they are not all included in your installation; itis also possible that your installation contains one or more special panels. 2.2.1 CABLE PANEL ‘A cable panel is used to connect Unitole UP switchgear via cables to the supply or to equipment.

WARNING Interlocks should be opened by specialists, and only if absolutely required for operational purposes. When opening an interlock, the specialist should take special and adequate safety measures to prevent life threatening situations. ‘Caurion ‘The switchgear should only be operated as described in this manual. Actions which are not described, ot actions described but taking place under unusual circumstances, should only be taken| with the approval of the responsible Holec B.V. ‘specialist. The latter's instructions should be closely followed, NOTE ‘Only suitably qualified and authorised specialists ‘and personnel should operate the equipment. No. other personnel should be present in the operating area, 994509 8- 20f 30 4.1 OPERATION - GENERAL This chapter describes the operations relating to standard equipment. The operation of optional equipment and accessories is included in the ‘operating instructions. These can be found in the Information package to which this manual belongs OPERATION - CIRCUIT BREAKER Operation of the switching mechanism ‘The mechanism of a Holec vacuum circuit breaker (type NVU) consists of a drive sleeve containing the closing spring which is charged by the winding mechanism. The sleeve is fitted with a latch ‘mechanism which is operated via an ON and OFF push button or coil. Three cam discs, which are mounted on the drive sleeve, generate the contact ‘movernents via a linkage. The switch can be operated electrically by remote control if it has a motor drive to charge the spring. The switch can be operated in situ, even if the door Of the switch panel remains closed.4.2.1, MECHANICAL OPERATION, DOOR OPEN Charging the clesing spring The closing spring is charged when the spring Indicator is in the ‘spring charged’ position. The switch can only be switched on when the spring is charged, ‘To charge the spring, proceed as follows: 1, Open the door of the panel to be switched. 2, Place spring-charging lever on spring-charging shaft (). 3. Turn spring-charging shaft to the right until it locks 4. Check that spring position indicator (3) isin the ‘spring charged’ pesition, Switching on 1.

This can be done with a short-circuit proof earthing set or with an earthing switch in the cable compartment. H, however, a single phase of a cable is to be measured or tested, the earth must be removed from that particular phase. I an earthing set is used as a short circuit proof earthing device, the relevant lead can be disconnected during the measurement. If an earthing switch (with three phase switching) used as a short circuit proof earthing device, an external back-up earth needs to be fitted, ‘As the external back-up earthing is normally provided by the short-circuit proof earthing set, this, is referred to as metering under short-circuit proof conditions.
