12 SWITCHGEAR Low Voltage Switchgear Type WL Low Voltage Metal-Enclosed Switchgear Options Siemens High Resistance Grounding System (1) The HRG section can be 22" or 32" wide. The HRG instrument compartment is 45" high and either 19" or 24" deep depending on whether the circuit breakers are fused. The HRG instrument compartment will house all of the high resistance grounding system components either on the door or in the device bucket except for the grounding resistors. (2) The grounding resistor assembly will mount in the rear cable compartment of the switchgear on the runback support posts. It will typically mount behind the HRG instrument compartment where it cannot interfere with feeder breaker runbacks. (3) In a typical Siemens HRG application with a close coupled main breaker section, a general purpose instrument compartment takes up the A compartment, the main breaker goes in the B compartment and the HRG instrument compartment takes up the C & D compartments. An alternate HRG main breaker section can have the HRG instrument compartment in the A & B compartments, main breaker in the C compartment and a general instrument compartment in the D compartment. Switchgear Mounted Hoist The integrally mounted hoist, standard on walk-in outdoor and optional on indoor switchgear enclosures, travels along rails on top of the switchgear to assist in breaker handling. TOC and MOC Switches The Truck Operated Cell (TOC) Switch provides interlocking control or remote indication of the breaker racking position. The cubicle mounted auxiliary switch or Mechanism Operated Cell (MOC) switch provides interlocking control or remote indication based on the main contact position (open or closed). Shutters These provide protection against accidental contact with primary disconnects in a compartment when the breaker is removed. Shutters automatically close when the breaker is withdrawn and are padlockable and field installable. Key Interlock This provides a mechanical means for operating circuit breakers and other devices only when predescribed conditions are met. Test Set A portable breaker test set is available as an option and supports testing the full range of functions and protective settings supplied with the breaker trip unit. Metering and Auxiliary Compartments Compartments are available to house devices such as voltage transformers, metering, control power transformers, and supervisory devices.

12 SWITCHGEAR Low Voltage Switchgear Type WL Circuit Breakers Rogowski Coil CT Technology A Rogowski coil is an air-core toroidal coil placed round the conductor. The alternating magnetic field produced by the current induces a voltage in the coil which is proportional to the rate of change of current. The direct output from the coil is given by Vout=M di/dt Where M is the mutual inductance of the coil and di/dt is the rate of change of current. To complete the transducer the voltage is integrated electronically so that the output from the integrator is a voltage that accurately reproduces the current waveform. Coil and Integrator: The combination of a coil and an integrator provides an exceptionally versatile current-measuring system which can be designed to accommodate a vast range of frequencies, current levels and conductor sizes. The output is independent of frequency, has an accurate phase response and can measure complex current waveforms and transients. Linearity: One of the most important properties of a Rogowski coil measuring system is that it is inherently linear. The coil contains no saturable components and the output increases linearly in proportion to current right up to the operating limit determined by voltage breakdown. The integrator is also inherently linear up to the point where the electronics saturates. Linearity makes Rogowski coils easy to calibrate because a transducer can be calibrated at any convenient current level and the calibration will be accurate for all currents including very large ones. Also, because of their linearity, the transducers have a very wide dynamic range and an excellent transient response. Coil Winding With a Rogowski coil it is important to ensure that the winding is as uniform as possible. A non-uniform winding makes the coil susceptible to magnetic pickup from adjacent conductors or other sources of magnetic fields. We have developed special machines for making accurate windings. Coils come in a range of styles including rigid and flexible coils but we have developed several other variations to meet specific needs. Output Indication The output from the integrator can be used with any form of electronic indicating device that has an input impedance greater than about 10kohm such as a voltmeter, oscilloscope, transient recorder or protection system. Split Coils Some designs of coil can be fitted on the conductor without the need to disconnect the conductor. Most flexible coils can be fitted this way and it is also possible to build split rigid coils. Split iron-cored devices such as current transformers are subject to appreciable amplitude and phase errors if the halves are misaligned by even a small amount. Rogowski coils do not have this problem. Misalignment of the joining faces of a split Rogowski coil has only a small effect on the amplitude and no effect on the phase. Electronic Trip Unit Selection Criteria for WL Circuit Breakers The basic criteria for selecting circuit breakers is: Maximum Available Short Circuit at the installation point. This value determines the short circuit current interrupting rating or short circuit current withstand rating of the circuit breaker. Rated Current In which is to flow through the respective circuit breaker continuously. This value may not be greater than the maximum rated current of the circuit breaker. The rated current for the WL is determined by the rating plug, up to the maximum frame rating. Ambient Temperature of the circuit breaker. This is usually the temperature inside the cubicle. Design of the circuit breaker. Protective Functions of the circuit breaker.these are determined by the selection of the appropriate trip unit. Dynamic Arc-Flash Sentry (Patent Pending) A unique feature of the WL trip unit allows the system designer to achieve lower levels of arc flash energy and delayed tripping for selective trip coordination purposes. Rating Plug The Rating Plug is a replaceable module that enables users to reduce the rated device current for optimum adaptation to the system; e.g., during startup of a plant section. The Rating Plug should be selected so that it corresponds to the rated current of the system. Switch-selectable I2t or I4t Characteristic Curve Improved Overload Protection. The best possible protection is assured when all protective devices in the system are optimally coordinated. To achieve optimum selectivity and coordination, the long-time characteristic can be switched between l2t and l4t, to improve coordination with fuses or inverse relays. Switchable Parameter Sets To allow the protection to adapt to changes in system needs such as switching between utility and generator feeds, WL Circuit Breakers support ETUs with two independent parameter sets. Switching between the parameter sets occurs in less than 100 ms and can be done remotely or via a contact input to an optional CubicleBUS module. 12-10 Siemens Canada Limited Power Product Catalogue

Low Voltage Switchgear Arc Flash Solutions 12 SWITCHGEAR Under normal conditions, the switchgear s calculated arc flash energy will require PPE level 3 protection for anyone within the arc flash boundary. Incorporating the features built into the DAS system, and using the ETU776 trip unit, the system changes to parameter set B. In the second figure the instantaneous has been changed to a lower setting and the calculation shows a reduction of arc flash energy. The Example 2 resultant PPE level has been reduced to 0. Below is another example of the benefit of the DAS, or even manual switching, of breaker parameter set. The reduced settings set available in the ETU 776 can also be used to reduce the arc flash energy at downstream equipment. In the first figure on the left with normal settings the arc energy at panel 1 requires PPE level 2. After switching to the parameter B settings, the PPE level at Panel 1 is reduced to 0.

Low Voltage Switchgear Arc Flash Solutions 12 SWITCHGEAR Remote Racking Device Although it is always preferable to work on equipment that has been de-energized, in some cases it may not be practical. Siemens now offers the Remote Breaker Racking Device. This product uses an integral torque overload sensing mechanism and allows users to safely rack our WL breakers into the Connect, Test and Disconnect position from up to 30 feet away. This allows the operator to be outside the arc flash boundary thereby providing additional personnel protection and reducing the PPE requirements. This system can be retrofitted to existing Siemens WL switchgear lineups. Remote Racking Device Remote Operator Pendant This hand held pendant allows a user to remotely operate (open/close) a WL breaker without being in front of the switchgear. Standard cable lengths are 30 feet with other lengths available. This pendant, along with the Remote Racking device, can be used to improve personnel safety by putting operators outside the arc flash boundary. Maintenance personnel can remotely open breakers and close breakers, without being in front of the equipment. The Remote Operator Pendant can be used in combination with the Remote Racking Device for added personnel safety.

Excessive temperatures can be an indication of a problem with a connection. Infrared viewing ports 12 Switchgear Zone Selective Interlocking Zone Selective Interlocking eliminates any intentional time delay in the event a fault occurs between two breakers in adjacent zones. In the schematic to the right, representative time delay values are shown for the breakers in each zone. If a fault occurs on the load side of the downstream breaker, the ZSI system enables the upstream breaker s delay and allows the downstream device more time to independently clear the fault. If the fault occurs on the line side of the downstream breaker (between two zones), the delay in the upstream breaker will not occur. This allows the fastest tripping time for faults and will reduce the amount of arc energy which may be released. The ZSI function is available for short time delays and ground fault delays. High Resistance Grounding Research has shown that a high percentage of arc faults start as a phase to ground fault. High resistance grounding systems minimize the available phase to ground arcing current. A high resistance grounding system reduces the magnitude of phase to ground faults. This will reduce the mechanical stress on equipment for the most common of faults and will reduce the magnitude of energy released.

12 SWITCHGEAR Secondary Unit Substations Overview Siemens offers a wide variety of unit substation designs to meet customer requirements. A unit substation consists of one or more transformers mechanically and electrically connected to and coordinated in design with one or more switchgear or switchboard assemblies. A secondary unit substation is defined as a unit substation whose outgoing section is rated below 1000 volts. A typical secondary unit substation consists of three sections: n Primary: an incoming section that accepts incoming high voltage (2400 to 13,800 volts) line n Transformer: section that transforms incoming voltage down to utilization voltage (600 volts or less) n Secondary: an outgoing section that distributes power to outgoing feeders and provides protection for these feeders (600 volts and less) Standard secondary unit substations consist of: n Medium Voltage Primary n Transformer n Low Voltage Secondary Siemens also offers low voltage unit substations with: n Low Voltage Primary n Transformer n Low Voltage Secondary The primary reason for using a secondary unit substation is to bring power as close as possible to the center of the loads. Another reason is that it provides a system design concept incorporating a wide variety of components that permits tailoring equipment to the needs of the application. A secondary unit substation provides n Reduced power losses n Better voltage regulation n Improved service continuity n Increased functional flexibility n Lower installation cost n Efficient space utilization Every component and assembly of secondary unit substations are designed and engineered as an integral part of a complete system.
