Protection of people

Internal arc version

NEX 17.5 is designed to withstand and protect operators in the case of failure due to an internal arc. NEX 17.5 has been successfully tested using type tests. Protection against internal arcing is available on 25 kA ratings. NEX 17.5 proposes one option to install an internal arc switchboard. b 4-sided internal arc protection In the case of a NEX 17.5 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. b Installation in a room with ceiling height > 3.6 m b Internal arcing detection (please consult us) NEX 17.5 can have 2 systems that can detect internal arcing and switch off the power supply so as to limit the fault duration. v electromechanical detector This system employs a secure electromechanical tripping circuit, positioned on the cubicle roof flaps. This set transmits the information to the Sepam to give the opening order to the circuit breaker located upstream of the fault. v 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.
DE56358 PE57120

Dependable mechanical control devices

All operations are carried out from the front face. 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 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 padlocks. b all operations are carried out from the front face. b the voltage present indicator is located on the front face of the functional unit, in the immediate vicinity of the earthing switch control.

Evolis circuit breaker

The reliability and dependability of a cubicle is also assumed by the internal components, producing between them a coherent architecture. This technology provides users with the best guarantee of continuity of service for their installations.

Evolis vacuum circuit breakers from 1 to 17.5 kV

Evolis circuit breaker is used to protect and control MV public or industrial distribution network. b Rated voltage 12 kV and 17.5 kV. b Short circuit breaking capacity up to 31.5 kA. b Rated normal current from 630 A to 2500 A. b Axial magnetic field (AMF) breaking technology. b Withdrawable version. The Evolis circuit breaker equips cubicles IF and BC at ratings of up to 17.5 kV.

PE55101

High electrical endurance

A magnetic field is applied in the axis of the vacuum interrupter contacts. This process maintains the arc in diffused mode even at high current values. It ensures optimal dispersion of the energy over the contact surface and avoids localised temperature rise. The advantages of this technique are: b a very compact vacuum interrupter, b low energy dissipation of the arc in the vacuum interrupters. Evolis is in conformity with the highest electrical endurance class (IEC 62271-100: class E2).

High mechanical endurance

The magnetic field is generated by a patented outside coil which surrounds the contact area. This solution has many advantages: b a simplified and therefore reliable vacuum interrupter unit, b heavy duty contacts which do not distort under repeated switching operations. This is the first time that a low voltage device control mechanism has been used on a medium voltage circuit breaker. The Masterpact control unit used on Evolis has the advantages of a system which has been proven for over 10 years in hundreds of thousands of installations. Evolis is in conformity with the most demanding mechanical endurance class (IEC 62271-100: class M2).

Functions
b A drive system combined with a threaded shaft gives easier racking in and out. The racking in mechanism can be operated with the door closed. b An interlock stops the user from inserting the lever as long as the racking truck has not been put in the racked in/out position. b An interlock between the circuit breaker status and the truck gives secure operation: racking in or out is only possible if the circuit breaker is open. b An interlock also exists between the LV connector and the truck. It is only possible to rack in if the LV connector is connected. The cradle floor has all the fixing holes needed to correctly position the earthing switch control mechanism and power circuit. This makes earthing switch operation reliable and gives interlocking between the circuit breaker and the earthing switch. b Earthing is automatic as the truck is racked in. b Protective shutters stop fingers from touching the racking clusters when the device is extracted (protection index: IP2X). b For maintenance operations, it is possible to: v padlock the shutters in the closed position v unlock the shutter mechanism to access the fixed contacts. b A foolproof device enables correct matching of the cradle and circuit breaker rating. This system is mounted on the cradle base and CB truck. The system must be assembled by the panelbuilder.

Connections

Switchgear resistance to ageing in a substation depends on 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. Cold connected terminals Schneider Electrics 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-core cables; b 300 mm2 for incomer or feeder cubicles with three-core 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.
