Switchgear Construction
Metal enclosed switchgear

 

• Busbar compartment

The busbar compartment is located on the top of the cubicle. This compartment contains the main busbars that intreconnect between switchgear cubicles.

• Switching compartment

A 3-position SF6 switch disconnector with epoxy cast resin housing is provided with inspection windows and available also with gas density indicator.

• Cable compartment

75 % of the space in the switch disconnector cubicle is reserved for power cable connection making it possible to use both 1- and 3-phase cables with most simple unscreened terminations. Space is also adequate for cubicle accessories such as surge arresters, current transformers, second earthing switch etc. The door has an inspection window and safety interlocking as standard. For cable entry there are 3 individual cable gland plates in the bottom with support for a suitable dimensioned cable clamp. The bottom and the threshold of the cubicle can be removed for ease of cable installation.

• Mechanism, interlocking and low voltage compartment

Behind a hinged door (which serves as control panel) are located the spring operating mechanism with position indicator and the mechanical interlocking unit. There are also facilities for cubicle accessories such as: auxiliary contacts, tripping coil, emergency tripping mechanism, capacitive voltage presence indicating system, key interlocks and motor operating device. Space is also provided for control circuits and measuring instruments as well as a protection relay. In the 750 wide cubicles there is also a second indentical compartment for further accessories.
 
The upper part of the cubicle, including the busbar compart- ment, the switch disconnector and the mechanism and low voltage compartment is separated from the lower part and the cable compartment. Because of this it is possible to carry out maintenance, repair and upgrading of the unit in the lower module while the switchgear is in service.
