MCset switchboard with tunnel

MCset 4 range Protection of people

MCset 4 internal arcBasic version (gas exhaust) MCset 4 is designed to eliminate the effects of internal arcing in total safety, due to:

metal flaps positioned above the enclosure, which in the case of internal fault, limit overpressure in the compartments.

nonflammable materials used for the cubicle.Internal arc versionMCset 4 is designed to withstand and protect operators in the case of failure due to an internal arc. MCset 4 has been successfully tested using type tests.Protection against internal arcing is available on 25 kA and 31.5 kA ratings.MCset 4 proposes several options to install an internal arc switchboard.

3-sided internal arc protection For an MCset 4 switchboard fitted against a wall, access to the rear of the cubicle is impossible. Internal arc protection on 3 sides is sufficient.

4-sided internal arc protectionIn the case of an MCset 4 switchboard installed in the middle of a room, internal arc protection on 4 sides is necessary in order to protect an operator who goes behind the cubicle.

Installation in a room with limited ceiling height:height exceeding 2.8 m, potential for installing a tunnel above the switchboard

to prevent reflection of hot gases on the ceiling.Ceiling height Tunnel2.8 m < h < 4 m Mandatoryh > 4 m Not mandatory

Internal arcing detector MCset 4 has 2 systems that can detect internal arcing and switch off the power supply so as to limit the fault duration.

electromechanical detectorThis system employs a positive security electromechanical tripping circuit, positioned on the cubicle’s flap valves. This set transmits the information to the Sepam to give the opening order to the circuit breaker located upstream of the fault.

optic detector (VAMP system)Internal arcing is detected by optical sensors which will measure the light caused by the initiation of arcing. Based on this information, an electronic module, after processing the information, will give the opening order to the circuit breaker located upstream of the fault.

Dependable mechanical control devicesAll 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:

racking in and out is only possible with the door closed.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.

all operations are carried out from the front face including access to connections and busbars.

the voltage present indicator is located on the front face of the functional unit, in the immediate vicinity of the earthing switch control.

disarming of circuit-breaker when racking out. This function enables the circuit breaker control springs to be disarmed during the extraction operation.

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.

Locking of the MV door open if the LV plug of the circuit breaker is not plug-in.

Instrument transformers

Conventional current transformersConventional current transformers are used to provide power to metering, measuring or control devices. They measure the value of primary current from 10 A to 2500 A. They are in conformity with standard IEC 60044-2.Schneider Electric has drawn up a list of current transformers which are appropriate for use with digital protection devices in order to make it easier to determine accuracy characteristics.They are installed in the rear part of the functional unit. The energized part is entirely encapsulated in an epoxy resin, which provides both electrical insulation and excellent mechanical strength.This list is available in the selection guide on page 39.

SF circuit breakerPresentationSF range circuit breakers equip cubicles AD4 and CL4 for rated voltage values of 24 kV.They work on the basis of the “puffer” type principle in SF6, which is used as a breaking and insulating medium.Each of the 3 poles have an independent insulating enclosure which forms a filled pressure system in compliance with IEC standard 62271-100.Each pole forms a gas-tight unit filled with low pressure SF6 at low relative pressure of 0.05 to 0.35 MPa (0.5 to 3.5 bars) according to the performance level required.No filling is required during the equipment’s life.According to the performance levels, it is possible to optionally equip SF6 circuit breakers with a pressure switch to act on an alarm in the case of a pressure drop.SF6 range circuit breakers are actuated by a GMH type spring mechanism.

Principle of the puffer breaking technique.The main contacts and arcing contacts are initially closed (Fig. 1).Pre-compression (Fig. 2)When the contacts begin to open, the piston slightly compresses the SF6 gas in the pressure chamber.Arcing period (Fig. 3)The arc appears between the arcing contacts. The piston continues its downward movement. A small quantity of gas, directed by the insulating nozzle is injected across the arc. For the breaking of low currents, the arc is cooled by forced convection. However, for high currents, thermal expansion causes the hot gases to move towards the cooler parts of the pole unit.The distance between the two arcing contacts becomes sufficient for the current to be broken when it reaches the zero point, due to the dielectric properties of the SF6.Sweeping overstroke (Fig. 4)The moving parts finish their movement and the injection of cold gas continues until the contacts are completely open.

GMH operating mechanismSF range circuit breakers are actuated by a GMH operating mechanism that ensures a switching device closing and opening rate that is independent of the operator. This operating mechanism, always motorised, enables remote operation and fast reclosing cycles.The GMH operating mechanism includes:b a spring system that stores the energy needed to close and open the breakerb a manual spring charging systemb an electrical motor spring charging device that automatically recharges the mechanism as soon as the contacts close (recharging time < 15 s)b two mechanical push buttons for opening and closing, accessible with the cubicle door open (circuit breaker in test position)b an electrical closing system comprising a closing release for remote control and an anti-pumping relayb an electrical opening system comprising one or more opening releases of the following type:v shunt v undervoltage.b an operation counterb an optional “operating mechanism charged” indication contactb an end of charging contactb a black-white mechanical “open-closed” position indicatorb a multi-pin connector to isolate auxiliary circuits in the “racked out” position.Auxiliary contactsThe GMH operating mechanism is equipped with a block of 14 auxiliary contacts including:b 1 changeover contact for the electrical operating mechanismb 1 changeover contact for indicationb 1 contact for the shunt release.

Switchgear DI switch cubicle

SM6 switchThe 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 tightnessThe SF6 filled enclosure is of the “sealed pressure system type”. Sealing tightness is always checked in the factory.Safetyb the switch may be in one of three positions: “closed”, “open” or “earthed”, giving a natural interlocking system that prevents operator error. 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 principleThe 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.

9Installation Connections

Switchgear resistance to ageing in a substation depends on 3 key factorsb The need for correctly made connectionsNew 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 humidityThe installing of a heating element is essential in climates with high relative humidities and significant temperature differentials.b Ventilation controlThe dimensions of air vents must be appropriate for the dissipated energy in the substation. They must only sweep across the transformer environment.Cold connected terminalsSchneider 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.
