Overview Safety

Operator protection
PM108204

• Protection against unintended contact where all switchgear components are in a


complete metal enclosure
• PIX has been type tested for the Internal Arc Classification in accordance with
IEC 62271-200: 2011, achieving an AFL or AFLR protection
• Different solutions for gas exhaust are available: outside the switchgear room
with tunnel, inside the switchgear room with tunnel and gas absorber or with
deflector
• All operations are carried out from the front with the door closed which enables
the operator to see the status of the switchgear without exposure
• Mechanical and electrical interlocks have been designed to guide the operator
and improve operations. These can be reinforced using key-operated locks
or padlocks
• Voltage Presence Indicators (VPIS) or Voltage Detecting Systems (VDS) are
present on the front door of each functional unit: checking the presence of
energy of multiple cubicles can be completed in the blink of an eye! Checking
voltage has to be done before operating the earth switch
• Motorization of the circuit breaker and the earthing switch allow full remote
operation and control avoiding to stand in front of the panels
PM108835

Equipment protection
• PIX includes active protection against an internal arc by fast switching. An
internal arc limiter quickly detects an internal arc and switches off in order to
limit the damage to the switchgear and the switchgear housing
• Two systems are available to detect the light caused by an internal arc and to
switch off the upstream breaker:
- VAMP-system with optical sensors
- Schneider Electric protection relay series "Easergy P3 or P5" with integrated
optical sensors

Overview Reliability
A fundamental quality requirement
for a global leader

A wealth of experience
PM108834

• Compliant with IEC standards AC metal enclosed switchgear for rated voltages
above 1 kV and up to 52 kV
• More than 50 years of experience in medium voltage switchgear design
• The PIX platform has been installed worldwide in very harsh environments
providing electrical distribution
PM108851

High quality design


• PIX switchgear only uses key Schneider components that are designed
in-house: breakers (mechanism, VI bottles), main busbars and contacts,
earthing switches, etc.
• Simulation of di-electric strength, temperature rise and internal arc behaviour
helps to optimize critical parts
• Design Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (DFMEA) ensures reliable parts
• Even without auxiliary voltage all operations can be executed manually
• Busbar segregation is available as an option

Independant type tests and systematic

checks
Design tests
Specific design tests are performed to check behaviour of aging in specific
environmental conditions.

Type tests
The electrical and mechanical performance of PIX have been proven successful
by comprehensive type tests.These type tests were performed in independent and
accredited laboratories in accordance with IEC international standards.

Factory acceptance test


Each PIX functional unit undergoes a systematic routine test during production to
verify conformity with the relevant standards and targeted performances.

Components HVX circuit breaker
and accessories

Description
PM108836

HVX is a globally used, state of the art vacuum circuit breaker. Its design is the
result of more than 40 years of Schneider Electric experience in switching devices.
Its wide geographical deployment makes it a key component of PIX equipment.

Application
HVX is designed to break rated currents and short circuit currents under heavy
switching conditions such as inductive loads and capacitive loads for various
HVX up to 2 500 A
applications such as transformers, generators, motors and capacitors.

Design
Racking device
PE58246

The racking device moves the circuit breaker from the disconnected position to the
service position and vice versa.
A motorized version of the truck provides remote rack in and rack out the circuit
breaker.
The HVX racking device has a robust interlocking system with the switchgear door,
the LV plug, the circuit-breaker and the earthing switch.
The materials used to manufacture the HVX racking trolley sub-assemblies have
been selected and designed to operate 1 000 cycles under the conditions defined
by the IEC standard.

Mechanism
HVX above 2 500 A The operating mechanism gives the device an opening and closing speed that is
independent of the operator whether the order is electrical or manual. It carries out
reclosing cycles and it is automatically recharged by a geared motor after each
closing.

Vacuum interrupter
This component is the heart of the circuit breaker. The Schneider Electric owned
design breaks the rated short-circuit current and this is achieved by:
• Choosing materials that are specifically selected for this application (metals
and ceramics)
• Choosing an appropriate assembly process (vacuum, high temperature
brazing)
• The use of a "getter" material to absorb the residual gas inside the enclosure

Standard
HVX has been fully tested according to IEC 62271-100: 2008 at 50 Hz and 60 Hz
and the latest GOST standards. The highest level of the above mentioned
standards has been passed including M2, E2, C2.
HVX has also been certified acc. to IEC 62271-C37.013: 2015 for generator circuit
breaker up to 40 kA.

Easergy P5 protection relay

Easergy P5: All-in-one best-in-class


PM108233

features

32
PM1082
The Easergy P5 presents a major step forward for protection relays, bringing a
number of best-in-class features together in one device.

Built-in arc flash protection


By detecting if an arc flash exists, the device takes action within milliseconds to
disconnect and mitigate risks. This means the arc does not have a chance to grow
and cause unexpected outages or dangers.

Advanced cybersecurity
IEC 62443 compliant, the P5 has been designed with an optional cybersecurity
package. This means reduced exposure to cyber threats and improved operational
security. By default, the Easergy P5 includes important features such as password
management, port hardening, and secure communication.

Intuitive withdrawable design


PM108234

With a handle built in as part of the design, the P5 can be quickly disconnected or
exchanged to speed up maintenance. Wiring, data, communication, and settings
stay safely on the panel and will be there when the relay is reconnected.

Improved recovery time


When maintenance or testing is required, Easergy P5 helps dramatically decrease
your outage recovery time. The backup memory can automatically restore settings,
you can continue your operations in as little as 10 minutes. *
* Result of mean time to repair (MTTR) calculation conducted by Schneider Electric

Greater connectivity
The protection relay features seven communication protocols. This includes
compliance with IEC 61850 ed.1 and ed.2, Modbus (serial/TCP), IEC 60870-5-103,
IEC 60870-5-101, Ethernet/IP, and DNP3 (serial/TCP). Additionally, thanks to the
P5's modular design, communication ports can be added at any time to enable you
to upgrade your device in line with future network upgrades.

PM106633
An arc flash protection system
minimizes material damage caused by
arc faults.
Vamp 321

Arc flash protection minimizes material damage to


the installation in most hazardous power system fault
situations.
Minimized damage also means limited need for repair
work and enables rapid restoration of the power
supply.

Advantages

People protection
The shorter the operating time of the arc flash protection unit, the smaller the
damage will be caused by the arc fault and the shorter the possible power outage.

Extended switchgear life cycle


Arc protection unit increases the life-cycle expectancy of switchgear installations,
so that decisions to invest in new switchgear installations can be postponed and
money can be saved by re-vamping existing switchgear systems.

Reduced insurance costs


Cost savings can be made with fast and suitable protection systems for a power
installation.

Low investment costs and fast installation


A comprehensive arc protection system is characterized by low investment costs
and fast installation and commissioning times. One successful operation of the arc
flash protection units provides an immediate investment payoff.

Reliable Operation
Operation is based on the appearance of light or alternatively on the appearance
of light and current from an external device. Immune to nuisance trippings due to
dual tripping criteria; light & current.
