b Checking vacuum switchgear
Each vacuum interrupter, sealed and airtight, is checked for the quality of

Using this sophisticated procedure, measurement is very precise and
does not require access to the inside of the bulb, thus not affecting the
airtight seal.

The cubicle
LSC2B The cubicle is of LSC2B (Loss of Service Continuity Category) type as defined by
(Loss of Service Continuity IEC 62271-200): IEC standard 62271-200, in other words the medium voltage parts are compartmented
using metal partitions (PM class) which are connected to earth and which separate:
this category defines the possibility b the busbars,
of keeping other compartments energised b the withdrawable part (circuit-breaker, fuse-contactor, disconnector truck or
(in service) when opening a main circuit earthing truck),
compartment. b MV connections, earthing switch, current sensors and voltage transformers
as required.
MCset guarantees a high level of protection of people; when a compartment
containing a main circuit is open, the other compartments and/or functional units
may remain energised.
The low voltage auxiliaries and monitoring unit are in a control cabinet separated
from the medium voltage section.
Five basic cubicle layouts are offered:
b incomer or feeder AD
b line up bussection CL - GL
b busbar metering and earthing TT
b switch-fuse feeder DI
AD and CL cubicles have withdrawable vacuum type circuit-breaker and
contactor switchgear.

General Protection of people
All operations are carried out from the front face, including access to connections
and busbars.
The user is guided through icon-diagrams on each front panel making it easy
to understand the operating sequence and device status.
Interlocks and padlocks prevent operator errors.
Several additional levels of security also protect operators:
b racking in and out is only possible with the door closed.
b locking of the MV door open if the LV plug of the circuit breaker is not plug-in.
b the very extensive set of mechanical and electrical interlocks do not allow operator
error. These can be added to by key locks or padlocks according to specific
operating procedures. Each selector can be fitted with one to three padlocks.
b all operations are carried out from the front face including access to connections
and busbars.
b the voltage present indicator is located on the front face of the functional unit,
in the immediate vicinity of the earthing switch control.
b disarming of circuit breaker when racking out. This function enables the circuit
breaker control springs to be disarmed during the extraction operation.
b locking of withdrawable part/cable compartment. This function disables the
possibility of racking the withdrawable part in if the front panel (cable compartment)
is not installed.

Opening circuit (cont.)
This release unit causes the systematic opening of the circuit breaker when its
supply voltage drops below a value less than 35% of the rated voltage, even if this
drop is slow and gradual. It can open the circuit breaker between 35% and 70% of
its rated voltage. If the release unit is not supplied power, manual or electrical closing
of the circuit breaker is impossible. Closing of the circuit breaker is possible when
the supply voltage of the release unit reaches 85% of its rated voltage.

This function is achieved by adding a time delay unit outside of the undervoltage
release (MN) circuit (adjustable time delay).
This unit is placed outside the circuit breaker and can be inhibited by an emergency
stop button to obtain instant circuit breaker opening.

P2 stored energy operating mechanism
Remote control
Function
DE57530
Remote control enables the remote opening and closing of the circuit breaker.
The opening order always takes priority over the closing order.
In the event of simultaneous opening and closing orders, the mechanism discharges
under no load, without moving the main contacts. The circuit breaker remains in the
“open” position.
In the event of latched opening and closing orders, the mechanism carries out anti-
pumping function as standard, by blocking the circuit breaker in the “open” position.
Anti-pumping function: after opening on a fault or deliberate opening via the manual or
electrical mechanism, the closing order must be interrupted then reactivated to enable
reclosing of the circuit breaker.
Composition
The remote control comprises:
b an electrical motor (MCH) equipped with a “spring armed” CH limit switch
Circuit breaker equipped with remote control
b a shunt closing release (XF).
The electrical motor carries out the automatic rearming of the storage energy springs
as soon as the circuit breaker closes. This allows instant reclosing of the device
after opening. The arming lever is only used as a backup control in the case of
the absence of the auxiliary power supply.
An electrical motor (MCH) equipped with a “spring armed” CH limit switch.
This contact indicates the “armed” position of the mechanism (springs armed).

Protection of generators and power station auxiliaries
All circuit breakers in the LF range break short circuit currents with an asymmetry
of at least 30%.
In cases where the network constant X/R is greater than 45 ms, the asymmetry
to be broken is higher; this is often the case of circuit breakers protecting nuclear

SF6 type switchgear Rollarc contactor
Characteristics
Operating schemes
Temporary service or periodic service
The two curve systems (Fig. 1 and 2) can be used to determine the maximum current
surges accepted by the Rollarc 400 contactor, in temporary or periodic service.
b Temporary service: knowing the steady state current Ip, we determine
the maximum duration Ts of a current surge Is from graph 1 (Fig. 2).
b Periodic service: knowing 3 of the following 4 parameters:
v overcurrent Is,
v overcurrent time Ts,
v cooling current Ir,
v cooling time Tr.
We determine the 4th parameter using graph 2 (Fig. 1 and 2).
Operating time
b Opening time 20 to 35 ms,
b Arcing time: < 20 ms,
b Closing time: 80 to 120 ms.

The fuses used are of the FUSARC CF or FERRAZ type (Standard IEC 60282.1
and DIN 43625) with high breaking capacity.
Substantial fault current limitation reduces the electrodynamic stresses
on the load-side components (contactor, cables, CT, etc).
A “blown fuse” device is used to open the three poles of the contactor.

Trip curves
DE57471
The trip curves for FUSARC CF (Fig. 1) and FERRAZ (Fig. 2) fuses are shown
Figure 2 opposite.
These are the average curves with an rms current value tolerance ± 10%.
Limitation curves
FUSARC CF (Fig. 3) and FERRAZ (Fig. 4) fuses have current limiting capacity.
These curves give the maximum value of the limited breaking current Ic (in kA peak),
as a function of the value Ip (in kA rms) of the presumed current that would be created
if there were no protection. For further details ask for the fuse catalogues.

Switch
E74222
The three rotating contacts are placed in an enclosure filled with gas to a relative
pressure of 0.04 MPa (0.4 bars).
The system offers maximum operating reliability.
Gas tightness
The SF6 filled enclosure is of the “sealed pressure system type”. Sealing tightness
is always checked in the factory.
Safety
b The switch may be in one of three positions: “closed”, “open” or “earthed”,
giving a natural interlocking system that prevents operator error.
b Moving contact rotation is driven by a fast acting mechanism that is independent
of the operator.
b The device combines the breaking and disconnecting functions.
b The SF6-enclosed earthing switch has a short-circuit making capacity
in compliance with standards.
Breaking principle
The outstanding qualities of SF6 gas are used to extinguish the electrical arc.
To increase cooling of the arc, a relative movement is created between the arc
and the gas. The arc strikes when the fixed and moving contacts separate.
The combination of the current and a magnetic field created by a permanent magnet
causes the arc to rotate around the fixed contact, extending and cooling it until
it is extinguished at current zero point. The distance between the fixed and moving
contacts is then sufficient to withstand the recovery voltage.
This system is both simple and dependable, and it provides improved electrical
endurance due to very low wear of contacts.

Fuses
Fuse ratings for MCset protection units depend, among other things,
on the following criteria:
b service voltage
b transformer rating
b fuse technology (manufacturer).
Different types of fuses with medium loaded striker maybe installed:
b Solefuse: fuses as per standard UTE NCF 64.210
b Fusarc CF: fuses as per IEC recommendation 60.282.1 and DIN dimensions 43.625.
For fuse-switch combination unit, refer only to the selection table and reference list of
fuses. For all other type of fuses, consult us.
Example: for the protection of a 400 kVA transformer at 10 kV, select either Solefuse
fuses rated 43 A or Fusarc CF fuses rated 50 A.

Installation Connections
3 key factors
b The need for correctly made connections
New cold connecting technologies offer easy installation and favour durability
in time. Their design means they can be used in polluted environments with harsh
atmospheres.
b The impact of relative humidity
The installing of a heating element is essential in climates with high relative
humidities and significant temperature differentials.
b Ventilation control
The dimensions of air vents must be appropriate for the dissipated energy
in the substation. They must only sweep across the transformer environment.
Cold connected terminals
Schneider Electric’s experience has led it to favour this technology wherever
possible for optimum durability.
The maximum acceptable cable cross-section for standard assemblies are:
b 630 mm2 for incomer or feeder cubicles with single-pole cables,
b 400 mm2 for incomer or feeder cubicles with three-pole cables,
b 95 mm2 for transformer protection cubicles with fuses.
Access to the compartment is only possible when the earthing switch is closed.
Tightening torques for cables will be attained using a dynamo wrench set to 50 mN.
DEAI02EN.indd 77
Installation Connections (cont.)
(1) When installing with a LV core balance CT, use a LV core balance CT of type ARC3
when connecting with 2 cables (see page 40).
Figure 2 b The cubicles and cables requiring the maximum depth should be taken into
consideration when determining the depth P of a switchboard cable duct (figure 1).
b When using cables of length greater than 460 mm, install an additional
compartment as marked (A) under the cubicle (figure 2).
