3.1 Design and equipment of the panels (Figures /1, /, 3/1 to 3/1 The metal-enclosed ZX panels are laser cut and welded panel enclosures, completely earthed and thus protected against accidental contact. The stainless steel encapsulation and the insulating gas protect all live parts in the high voltage area permanently from soiling, humidity, foreign bodies and other injurious influences. The modular structure provides the conditions necessary for all panel variants normally required in a relatively simple manner. Facilities are also provided, for instance, for: one or two busbar systems, three-position switch or disconnector, different connection methods, such as multiple cables. Relieved pressure is guided into pressure relief ducts (A), (B), (C) and (E): In the case of internal arcing fault, the following pressure relief disks open: Pressure relief disk 17 on circuit-breaker compartment (H) into pressure relief duct (E). The gases are channelled out via ducts (C) and (A). Pressure relief disk 6 on the busbar compartment into pressure relief duct (B). In the case of an arc in the cable compartment (I), a pressure relief flap in pressure relief duct (E) opens. The gases are channelled out via ducts (C) and (A). Each panel is a unit, They are linked together by plug-in busbar connections 3. Basic equipment in the panels: Circuit-breaker VD4 X Three-position switch UXTE Disconnector UXT Sensor system Control cabinet with the bay control and protection unit REF54 Cable and test plug sockets. The insulation test criteria of VDE and IEC list are fulfilled by the ZX standard series up to and including 36 kv even when the gas filling is at atmospheric pressure. 3. Gas system in the panels/switchgear (Figures 3/11 and 3/15) A permanently protected climate for the entire live primary area is ensured by the gas-tight encapsulation of the panels and their filling with dry insulating gas. The circuit-breaker compartment and the busbar compartments in each panel are separate gas compartments with their own filling connectors. The gas compartments in the individual panels set up side by side are not connected together. The operating pressure (p e ) (equals filling pressure) in the individual compartments is monitored by temperature compensated pressure sensors: Pressure sensor 7 for the circuit-breaker compartment, Pressure sensors 4 and 1 for busbar compartments 1 and. When the pressure drops below the minimum operating pressure, a pressure loss signal is output. With a rapidly rising pressure as a consequence of an internal arc fault and a correspondingly high current, the bay control and protection unit REF54 shuts the incoming feeders or couplers down. Details on the gas system and gas servicing of the ZX switchgear can be found in instruction manual BA 47 Insulating gas system for ZX switchgear. The gas compartments contain drying agent bags 5. Further details on the drying agent material can be found in instruction manual BA 47. 3.3 Vacuum circuit-breakers, type VD4 X (Figures 3/, 3/6 and 3/11, and separate manual BA 436/E) Functions of the vacuum circuit-breaker 18: opening and closing on rated currents, short-circuit breaking operations, earthing function in conjunction with three-position switch. The earthing function of the three-position switch prepares - under no current - for the connection to earth. Earthing proper is performed by the circuitbreaker. This integration of functions is advantageous, as a circuit-breaker is of higher quality in the earthing function than any other earthing switch. The circuit-breaker poles are installed horizontally in the circuit-breaker compartment (H). The circuitbreaker operating mechanism is located outside the gas compartment and is therefore easily accessible. It is connected to the breaker poles by a gastight thrust bushing. ABB Power Distribution 17
3.4 Disconnector/earthing switch, type UXTE (Three-position switch) (Figures 3/, 3/4 and 3/1 The ZX panels are fitted with specially designed three-position disconnectors and earthing switches -Q1/-Q5. These switches are motor-operated rodtype switches whose live switching components are located in busbar compartment 1 (insulating gas compartment), while the operating mechanism block is easily accessible from the control cabinet (G). The operating mechanism block contains the drive motor, the position indicators (sensors and mechanical indicators) and the emergency manual operating system. The three-position switch performs the functions of: connecting, disconnecting, and earthing. The three switch positions are unequivocally specified by the operating mechanism. The switch has its disconnecting position at the centre. In the limit positions, disconnector ON and earthing switch ON, the moving contact (sliding part) driven by an insulating spindle, reaches the isolating contacts, which are fitted with one or two spiral contacts respectively. 3.5 Disconnector, type UXT (Figures 3/, 3/4 and 3/1 Disconnector -Q is a motor-operated rod-type switch. Its live switching components are located in busbar compartment (insulating gas compartment). The operating mechanism block is split and located outside the gas compartment. The drive motor is located at the rear of the panel behind a removable cover. The position indicators (sensors and mechanical indicators) and the emergency manual operating system are accessible from control cabinet (G). Disconnector -Q is structured similarly to the three-position switch, but without the earthing switch assembly. 3.6 Sensor systems (Figures 3/3, 3/11, 3/1 to 3/15, 6/3 and 6/7) In comparison with conventional inductive instrument transformers, sensors require much less space. They facilitate measured value acquisition suitable for the control and automation system REF54. The following sensors are used in ZX panels: Sensors for current measurement 16 Sensors for voltage measurement 16 Capacitive pick off for voltage display Sensors 4, 7 and 1 for insulating gas pressure monitoring Sensors to detect the switch positions of the circuit-breaker, disconnector/earthing switch and disconnector Sensor to detect the charging condition of the circuit-breaker spring energy store. Arrangement of the sensors: Current and voltage sensors are located in the rear part of the circuit-breaker compartment. The external connections allow wiring to be fed through the cable compartment (I) to the REF54. Sensors for pressure monitoring: B0G for the circuit-breaker compartment: on the circuit-breaker base plate in control cabinet (G). B1G for busbar compartment 1: beside the operating mechanism for the disconnector/earthing switch -Q1/-Q5 in the control cabinet (G). BG for busbar compartment : beside the base plate for the drive motor of disconnector -Q at the rear of the panel. Sensors for detection of the switch positions: B0E and B0A for the circuit-breaker: on its mechanism shaft. B1E, B1A, B5E and B5A for the disconnector/earthing switch: on its operating mechanism in the control cabinet. BE and BA for the disconnector: beside its emergency manual operating mechanism in the control cabinet. Sensor B0S for detection of the charging condition of the spring energy storage mechanism: above the spring drum in the circuit-breaker operating mechanism. 3.7 High voltage connections (Figures 3/4, 3/8 to 3/11, 5/15 and 5/16) Cable plug connector systems: high voltage plastic-insulated cable with internal cone cable plug connector system and sockets to DIN 47 637. Plug-in cable sockets 9 and 10 mounted in a gastight manner in the floor plate of the circuit-breaker compartment maintain the partitioning between the insulating gas compartment and the cable termination compartment. 18 ABB Power Distribution
3.8 Bay control and protection unit REF54 (Figures 3/3 and 3/15) The following functions are integrated in the bay control and protection unit REF54: Busbar protection Tee-off protection Control Measurement Position indication Hazard and fault signalling Connection to control systems. Panel interlocks and the sequence of switching operations (e.g. isolation, testing of the off-circuit condition and earthing) are controlled by the REF54 panel unit. The single-line diagram providing information on switching device positions is made visible on LC display 5.1. Measured values such as conductor currents, phase voltages, energy metering and active and reactive power, number of operating cycles and number of operating hours appear numerically and/or as a bar diagram on the display. Further information, such as alarm and fault signals, is displayed with text by LEDs 5.. The bay control and protection unit REF54 can be connected to a control system via optical fibre cables. Electromagnetic interference is avoided by the use of optical fibre cables. Please consult the REF54 instruction manual no. BA 453 for details on handling of the bay control and protection unit and the detailed technical description. 3.9 Protection against maloperation/interlock dependencies/earthing of tee-off In order to prevent dangerous situations and maloperation, a series of interlocks are provided to protect the operators and the switchgear itself. In ZX panels with digital control systems, protection against maloperation is fundamentally effected by the software in the panel unit. The circuit-breaker, three-position switch and disconnector can be controlled directly at the panel or from the control room using the local/remote lock-switch. Operation at the panel is by selection on the REF54. 3.9.1 Interlock dependencies 1. Limit position blocking of the switching devices.. Dependence of the disconnectors -Q1 or -Q on the earthing switch -Q5 and vice versa. 3. Dependence of the disconnectors -Q1 or -Q on the circuit-breaker -Q0. 4. Dependence of the circuit-breaker -Q0 on the earthing switch -Q5. 5. Interdependence of the disconnectors -Q1 and -Q. 6. Dependence of the disconnectors -Q1 and -Q on bus coupler circuit-breakers and vice versa. 7. Dependence of the bus section disconnector on the busbar tee-off disconnectors and vice versa (for bus sectionalising without circuit-breaker only). Details of interlocks/dependencies over and above those listed in points 1 to 7 (e.g. with neighbouring systems) can be found in the individual order documents. The interlock polling between panels is effected by loop lines from panel to panel. Operation on failure of the auxiliary power supply: On failure of the auxiliary power supply, the devices can be operated manually. No provision is however made for interlocked emergency manual operation of the three-position switches and disconnectors. Emergency manual operation: Intervention in the interlock concept is possible by opening the control cabinet door. Emergency manual operation without maloperation prevention is possible by means of a hand crank and mechanical push-button. 3.9. Earthing a tee-off in a single busbar system (Figure 3/7) 1.

Testing on completion of switchgear installation is therefore unnecessary. Should there be any need to perform tests, the tests are to be performed as follows: For voltage and current tests, direct access to the conductors in the connection area is possible without removing the cable connection or extracting the insulating gas. Access is effected via free cable connecting sockets or via the cable sockets for the surge arresters. The surge arresters must be removed during voltage tests. Voltage tests: cable tests with DC voltage, cable fault location measurements with impulse voltage and system tests (without cables) with a AC voltage can be performed with a test plug as shown in Figure 6/8. A test plug for current tests as shown in figure 6/9 can be used to test the protection devices by primary current injection (see also the note in section 6.4.4). This configuration is short-circuit proof and can also be used as an additional maintenance earth. The possible testing processes are described in the following sections: testing for the off-circuit condition: Section 6.4.1 testing for the in-phase condition: Section 6.4. high voltage tests: Section 6.4.3 current tests: Section 6.4.4.

5 Erection of the switchgear at site In the interests of the best possible erection sequence, and in order to ensure a high quality standard of the panels, local installation of the switchgear should only be carried out, or at least responsibly managed and supervised, by specially trained skilled personnel. 5.1 General site requirements At the start of erection, the switchgear room at site must be complete, fitted with lighting and power for the erection work, lockable, dry, and with good ventilation facilities. All necessary provisions for laying of the power and control cables such as openings, ducts, etc. must already be in place. Compliance with the conditions for indoor switchgear to VDE 0670 Part 1000 etc., including those for the minus 5 indoor temperature class, must be ensured. 5.

The ZX switchgear installations are mounted on a foundation frame set into the screed, or on a raised false floor. The openings shown in figure 5/4 are intended as an aid to planning. Instead of the large openings shown, drill holes can also be used, depending on the number of high voltage cables. Openings (drill holes) for power cables in the station floor are to be constructed so as to be eddy-current free. Note: The following is to be taken into account in determining the foundation data: Single busbar systems: Any additional frame available for the voltage sensors in the busbar metering system. The distance from the additional frame including end coffer to the side wall of the room should be 500 mm to ensure sufficient room for movement (see also section.3). Double busbar systems: From 5 panels onwards, a pressure relief duct is required at both ends of the switchgear installation. 30 ABB Power Distribution

Any tightening torques which deviate from those in the general table (e.g. for contact systems or device terminals) are to be taken into account as stated in the detailed technical documentation. It is recommended that the threads and head contact surfaces of bolts should be lightly oiled or greased, so as to achieve a precise rated tightening torque. Remove any dirt from the surfaces in general and from insulating material surfaces. Observe the cleaning instructions in Section 7.. When handling SF 6, avoid any escape of gas into the switchroom: as incorrect readings may be caused during leakage testing. ventilate well if leakage occurs. 5.4 Foundation frame (Figures 5/1 to 5/3) Switchgear on a foundation frame: The relevant data for the order in hand can be found in the ABB documentation. The single or multiple panel foundation frame can be supplied with the switchgear. It is as a rule laid by site personnel and should be aligned and inspected under the supervision of a responsible specialist. The specifications of DIN 43 661 are also to be maintained when laying the foundation frame, in particular the evenness and straightness tolerances as a condition for perfect switchgear assembly. Tolerance conditions for laying of the frame to DIN 43 661, version A: Evenness tolerance: +/- 1 mm per metre. Straightness tolerance: max. 1 mm per metre, but max. mm for the entire length of the frame. 5.5 Laying of the foundation frame (Figures 5/1 to 5/3) Bolt the individual parts of foundation frame elements 7 together. Bolt the individual sections composed of foundation frame elements 7 (where the switchgear has several panels) together using connecting links 7.1 and bolts 7.5. Set up the complete foundation frame on the concrete floor precisely at the specified position. Fasten the foundation frame to the concrete floor sufficiently firmly with the bolts and dished washers 7., checking the correct dimensional position continuously. Enter jacking screws 7.3 into the relevant threaded bores (different lengths to correspond to the height of the screed), inserting a steel shim 7.8 below each screw. Loosen the compensation bolts 7.4 and carefully align the entire surface of foundation frame 7 in the horizontal plane and at the correct height, using a levelling instrument and screwing in jacking screws 7.3 to the appropriate depth. The top edge of the foundation frame must be 1 to 3 mm above the screed (take account additionally of the material thickness of any additional floor covering). Tighten the compensation bolts 7.4, performing a final check on the dimensions and horizontal position of the frame. Weld jacking screws 7.3 firm to prevent inadvertent changes to their settings. Perform the necessary work for proper earthing of the foundation frame with 30 x 4 mm galvanised steel strip. Two connections are necessary in switchgear with more than 6 panels. Carefully backfill the foundation frame when applying the screed. Note: Before applying the screed, insert auxiliary bolts 7.9. These prevent the screed from penetrating into the rivet nuts. Remove auxiliary bolts 7.9 when the screed has hardened. The foundation frame must not be subjected to any undue impacts or pressures, particularly, during the installation phase.

5.7 Erection and connection of the panels (Figures 5/3 and 5/8 to 5/14) Note: Do not walk on the top of the panels (rupture point for pressure relief system!). 5.7.1 Preparatory work Grease the upper surfaces of the foundation frame (this facilitates erection and alignment of the individual panels). Enter the two or four guide pins 35 at the sides of the panels into the relevant bores (see figure 5/10, section A-A). 5.7. Erection of the switchgear Erect the end panel of the switchgear at the precise position specified on the foundation frame. Lightly enter panel fastening bolts 1.4 into the relevant threaded bores in the foundation frame. Align the panel if necessary. Perform a final check on the aligned position of the panel and fasten it to the foundation frame by tightening the panel fastening bolts 1.4. Remove the protective caps from the busbar sockets 3.1. Carefully check insulating parts 3. and contact tubes 3.3 for any dirt, and clean if necessary (see also section 7.). Note: Only prepare insulating parts and contact tubes for the panel currently being erected. Protect them from further contamination! Evenly apply a thin coating of assembly paste AP to the conical surfaces A of insulating parts 3.. Note: Leave no ungreased areas on conical surface A. Carefully insert contact tubes 3.3 and insulating parts 3. into the busbar sockets 3.1. Slide the adjacent panel carefully and evenly (without tipping) against the erected panel in such a way that the contact tubes, insulating parts and guide pins slide into the corresponding bores without the use of force. If necessary, align the panel appropriately with the panel height adjustment bolts 1.5. As soon as the distance between the two panels is so small that bolts 36 and 37 can be entered in the bores in the erected panel, insert these, each with nuts and dished washers respectively. Spacer 38 is also to be fitted on socket head bolt 37 (see figure 5/9, section B-B). Then join the two panels together by tightening bolts 36 and 37 step by step. Completely bolt the panels together with bolts 40, each with dished washers (see figure 5/8). When the panels have been completely joined, check the second panel again for correct alignment and fasten it to the foundation frame with the panel fastening bolts 1.4. Dismantle connecting link 14 for the main earthing bar 15 in the cable compartment and lead it through to the adjacent panel. Bolt the connecting link to the main earthing bar with bolts 39 and one dished washer at each of the bolt head and nut ends. Check the bolted connection between main earthing bar 15 and the connecting link 14 in the previously erected panel and tighten bolt 39 if necessary. Erect the further panels by following the same procedure. Assembly of the top pressure relief duct, the absorber and the cooler if fitted can be effected during installation of the individual panels or when all panels have been joined together. 38 ABB Power Distribution

5.8 Connection of cables and wiring The cable compartments (I) in the panels are fitted with cable connection fittings in accordance with the cable types and sizes specified in the project planning for the switchgear as a whole. 5.8.1 High voltage plastic-insulated cable with plug connectors (Figures 3/4, 3/11, 5/15 and 5/16) Lay the single-core plastic-insulated cables as specified in the project planning to the individual panels. Remove the transport covers fitted to protect the sockets. Expose the cable cores, check the correct phase assignment, and secure. 5.10 Final erection work Clean the external surfaces of the enclosure and control cabinets in the switchgear where necessary and check for any damage to the paintwork, touching up with a suitable paint if necessary (see Section 7.3). Properly refit any cladding and covers of operating mechanisms, cable ducts, etc. removed during the erection work. Remove all tools and other foreign bodies from the switchgear. Check the general condition of the switchgear. Check that the areas adjacent to the switchgear are in the proper condition. Fit cable plug 11 in accordance with the manufacturer s instructions. Fit the plugs to the sockets 10 mounted in the circuit-breaker compartment floor (without opening the insulating gas compartment) and secure them with bolts. Align the cables and fasten them at mountings 13. Close off any unused sockets, e.g. in spare panels, with suitable cable blanking plugs to ensure the necessary insulation. 5.8. Control cables and wiring (Figures 3/ and 5/1 Establish the necessary connections for incoming and outgoing cables and wiring, and cross connections. The control cables and wiring are to be laid in cable ducts at the right of the cable compartment (for external wiring). The connections from panel to panel are to be made by plug connectors in the control cabinets. 5.9 Preparing the insulating gas system for operation Observe the relevant data in instruction manual BA 47/E Insulating gas system for ZX switchgear. 44 ABB Power Distribution
6 Commissioning/operation Note on safety at work Operation by trained specialists familiar with the particular switchgear only. 6.1 Commissioning 6.1.1 Preparatory work In preparation for commissioning, the following work is to be performed prior to connection with the high voltage power supply: Connect the auxiliary and control voltage and check the correct polarity. Check mechanical and electrical interlocks for compliance with the specified conditions. Perform a functional test on the protective devices (observe DIN VDE 014. Check the general condition of the switchgear and external conditions for detrimental factors of any kind. Display the instructions for handling SF 6 in the switchroom. The handling specifications for SF 6 also apply accordingly to nitrogen. Display the ABB instruction manual on the handling of insulating gas and behaviour during faults in the switchroom. Instruct the local operators on the fundamental details of operating the switchgear in normal service. Check the readiness for operation and the switching condition of the upstream and downstream electrical equipment. Perform further checks where necessary on the following equipment from the areas adjacent to the switchgear: power cables control wiring auxiliary voltage and its polarity remote controls external earth with connection to main earthing bar 15 switchroom equipment switchroom condition. 6.1. Initial start-up Comply with all relevant safety regulations Ensure that the switchgear circuit-breakers are in the OFF position. Close the disconnector for the relevant busbar system. Cancel any existing short-circuiting and earthing connections in the critical switching area. Energise the switchgear step by step, observing the displays on the REF54. Check that corresponding conductor sections are in phase where relevant with several incoming feeders and switchgear sections. Check measurements and functions dependant on high voltage. Look out for irregularities of any kind. 6. Switching operations 6..1 Circuit-breaker (Figures 3/, 6/1, 6/ and 6/4) The circuit-breaker is fitted with a charging motor. Charging of the spring energy storage mechanism takes place automatically. Opening and closing the circuit-breaker: Opening and closing are effected by selection on the bay control and protection unit REF54. ON-OFF switching operations may only be performed with the control cabinet door closed. Opening the control cabinet door constitutes intervention in the interlock system. Observe the position indicator. Emergency manual operation: 1. On failure of the charging motor, the charging process can be performed or completed by hand: Open control cabinet door 1.1. Insert charging lever 8.9 into recess 8.8 and pump for approx. 5 strokes until the charged condition is displayed. When the charged condition is reached, the charging mechanism automatically disengages and further strokes of the charging lever have no effect. Key to the charging condition displays: Discharged Charged. If the control voltage fails with the circuit-breaker closed, it is possible to open it using the mechanical OFF push-button 8.3. Note: On failure of the control voltage, there is no maloperation protection for the circuit-breaker, three-position switch and disconnector during emergency manual operation. ABB Power Distribution 45
6.. Three-position switch and disconnector (Figures 3/, 3/11, 6/3, 6/5 and 6/6) The three-position switch and the disconnector 19 are fitted with motor-operated mechanisms. Opening and closing are effected by selection on the bay control and protection unit. ON-OFF switching operations may only be performed with the control cabinet door closed. Opening the control cabinet door constitutes intervention in the interlock system. Observe the position indicator on LCD display 5.1 or on the control unit. Sensors 9 to 3 on the three-position switch operating mechanism 3 detect the following switch positions: Disconnector -Q1 ON and OFF, and earthing switch -Q5 ON and OFF. Sensors 33 and 34 on disconnector operating mechanism 0 detect the following switch positions: Disconnector -Q ON and OFF. Emergency manual operation: In place of motorised operation, the switching process can also be initiated and completed manually. Caution! The interlock is ineffective on emergency manual operation. Open control cabinet door 1.1 Prior to emergency manual operation, switch the relevant m.c.b. (F101 or F10) off. Insert the crank in the hollow shaft. Three-position switch -Q1/-Q5: If the three-position switch is in the central position (i.e. disconnector and earthing switch OFF), the disconnector can be closed with approx. 4 clockwise turns, and the earthing switch with approx. 4 anti-clockwise turns. If the earthing switch ON position is to be reached from the disconnector ON position, or vice versa, the crank is to be removed in the self-inhibiting central position (disconnector and earthing switch OFF) and refitted. When the crank is refitted, the further switching operation is automatically enabled. Disconnector -Q: Close the disconnector with approx. 4 clockwise turns and open it with approx. 4 anticlockwise turns. Note: Always perform every switching operation right up to the stop in the relevant limit position. Observe the mechanical and electrical position indicators. 6..3 Undervoltage release Undervoltage releases may be fitted as an option. In order to prevent the circuit-breaker being opened by the undervoltage release on power failure with teeoff earthing, an interlock rod or wire is provided. 6.3 Observation of the display and monitoring facilities 6.3.1 Gas monitoring (Figures 3/11 and 6/ All high voltage compartments in the switchgear must have a sufficient insulating gas pressure during operation. The minimum operating gauge pressure (p e ) is listed in section.1. This is monitored by sensors 4, 7 and 1. If the gas pressure falls below the minimum operating gauge pressure, an LED on the bay control and protection unit signals that the gas should be topped up. Note: If a panel is isolated for a relatively long period (several weeks), m.c.b. F116 for the auxiliary voltage supply to the REF54 must remain on. Only in this way is monitoring of the insulating gas ensured. Details on the gas system of the ZX switchgear can be found in instruction manual BA 47. 6.3. Electrical/mechanical display/monitoring During operation of the switchgear, observe all visible operating data and condition displays in the secondary system and watch out for irregularities of any kind, including the external conditions of the switchgear. 6.4 Test procedures 6.4.1 Testing for the off-circuit condition (Figure 6/ The panels are fitted with the low impedance, capacitive voltage indicator system LRM, including corresponding (hand-held) display units with connecting plugs for testing of the off-circuit condition. For details, see draft DIN VDE 068 Part 415, or IEC 6143 Part 5. 46 ABB Power Distribution
Note: Only display units which comply with the IEC or VDE standards and the technical design of the indicator system in the relevant switchgear may be used! Note: The measuring sockets must on no account be short-circuited, except during voltage testing of the system (e.g. with power frequency withstand voltage or impulse withstand voltage)! Testing for the off-circuit condition is performed with a plug in display unit at corresponding pairs of measuring sockets 6 in the vicinity of the panel controls. Use of the display unit: Perform a functional test on the display unit immediately before and after use, e.g. with interface tester KSP. The display must be clearly visible. The presence of operating voltage is indicated by a signal. Observe the individual operating instructions for the display unit for the relevant switchgear! Interface testing: Perform interface testing as a functional test on all coupling components, e.g. with interface tester KSP. The interface test is a repeat test to IEC 6143 Part 5 or draft DIN VDE 068 Part 415. 6.4. Testing for the in-phase condition Testing for the in-phase condition, e.g. when there is more than one incoming feeder, can be performed with a suitable phase comparator at measuring sockets 6 on the capacitive voltage indication system. Test procedure: Only use phase comparators which comply with the IEC or VDE specifications and the technical design of the display system in the relevant switchgear! Perform a functional test on the equipment at the start of testing. Do not exceed the maximum permissible length of measuring leads per phase. Connect the measuring leads precisely assigned to the corresponding main conductor sections. Always follow the details in the operating instructions for the phase comparator! 6.4.3 High voltage tests (Figures 6/1 and 6/8) The test plugs available for high voltage tests, shown in figure 6/8, are suitable for the following applications up to and including 4 kv rated voltage. For high voltage tests on the 36 kv rated voltage level, separate test facilities are required. Information on these can be obtained from the switchgear manufacturer. Taking account of the sensor systems used and the bay control and protection unit, the test voltages must not exceed the following values: Cable tests with DC voltage: 1 kv switchgear: 48 kv 4/36 kv switchgear: 70 kv up to 1 hour. Higher values on request. Insulation testing of the switchgear at the relevant power frequency withstand voltage: 1 kv switchgear: 8 kv 4 kv switchgear: 50 kv 36 kv switchgear: 70 kv. Performance of voltage tests: Isolate the switchgear area in accordance with the safety rules of VDE 0105 and secure it to prevent reconnection. Verify the off-circuit condition with a suitable hand-held display unit at measuring sockets 6 on the capacitive voltage indicator system. Unscrew surge arresters where fitted, or unscrew the cable blanking plugs from the free cable sockets. Check the test plug to ensure that the surface is clean and dry, and clean it if necessary. Grease the silicone part of the test plugs in accordance with the directions. Insert the test plug into the prepared cable socket and screw it tight. Notes: Only fit the test plugs for voltage tests for the duration of those tests. Short-circuit the measuring sockets 6 in the panels concerned for the duration of the testing process at test voltages up to rated power frequency withstand voltage. Applies to integrated voltage sensors. With plug-in voltage sensors/instrument transformers, the cable test voltages permissible to DIN standards may be used if the sensors are withdrawn. ABB Power Distribution 47
For performance of cable tests, in the switching condition tee-off disconnected and earthed, earthing of the cable has to be cancelled by opening the circuit-breaker. This is accomplished by using the mechanical OFF button to open the circuit-breaker (see also Section 3.9). 6.4.4 Current tests (Figures 6/1 and 6/9) The test plugs available for current test are suitable for the following applications: Testing of the protection functions in the bay control and protection unit REF54 by means of primary current injection. Test instruction: The following is to be observed when testing the protection system of the REF54: In order to prevent damage to the OFF-release coil during testing, either the OFF-release coil has to be disconnected or the protection test equipment must be deactivated by the trip command. This ensures that the opening release is not energised in the meantime by the trip command, which could lead to the coil burning out. Establishment of maintenance earthing in conjunction with an earthing and short-circuiting set. The short-circuit resistance of the current test plugs for the switchgear must correspond to the condition of the individual switchgear. Handling of the plugs for current tests: Isolate the switchgear area in accordance with the safety rules of VDE 0105 and secure it to prevent reconnection. Verify the off-circuit condition with a suitable (hand-held) display unit at measuring sockets 6 on the capacitive voltage indicator system. Unscrew surge arresters where fitted, or unscrew the cable blanking plugs on the free cable sockets. Check the test plug to verify that the surface is clean and dry, and clean it if necessary. 6.4.5 Maintenance earthing a) Double busbar systems: In the double busbar system, there is an opportunity to earth the busbar via the bus coupler. b) Single busbar systems: Earthing of the busbar with the bus tie / riser, as described in section 3.9.3. Earthing with an earthing and short-circuiting set. Handling during earthing with an earthing and short-circuiting set: (Figures 6/1 and 6/9) The plugs for current tests described under 6.4.4 are used in conjunction with corresponding cable sets for short-circuiting and earthing to establish maintenance earths. The short-circuit resistance of the cable set must correspond to the conditions of the switchgear. Caution! Observe the notes in Section 3.9 on the interlock dependencies for all work with earthing and shortcircuiting sets! Isolate the switchgear area in accordance with the safety rules of VDE 0105 and secure it to prevent reconnection. Verify the off-circuit condition with a suitable (hand-held) display unit at measuring sockets 6 on the capacitive voltage indicator system. Unscrew surge arresters if fitted, or unscrew the cable blanking plugs on the free cable sockets. Check the test plugs to ensure that the surface is clean and dry, and clean them if necessary. Carefully screw the short-circuiting and earthing cable set to the test plug. Connect the common earthing connector of the cable set to the earthing terminal of the panel. Insert the test plugs into the prepared cable sockets and screw them tight. Insert the test plug into the prepared cable socket and screw it tight. Only fit the test plugs for the duration of the tests. 48 ABB Power Distribution
6.5 Application of the X-ray regulations One of the physical properties of vacuum insulation is the possibility of x-ray emissions when the contact gap is open. The specified type test performed by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) in Brunswick demonstrates that the local dosage output of 1 µsv/h at a distance of 10 cm from the touchable surface is not exceeded. The results are as follows: The use of the vacuum interrupters at rated voltage is completely safe. Application of the rated power frequency withstand voltage specified for the switching device by VDE 0670 and IEC 60056 or a DC voltage of 48 kv or 70 kv during cable tests is also safe. Higher voltages than the rated power frequency withstand voltage specified in DIN VDE or IEC standards or the DC voltage must not be applied! Fulfilment of the above requirement with the vacuum interrupter in the open position is dependent on maintenance of the specified distance between the contacts (which is automatically ensured with correct mechanism function and force transmission).

In accordance with DIN 31 051 and IEC 6108, it comprises the following closely related activities: Inspection: Determination of the actual condition Servicing: Repairs: Measures to maintain the specified condition Measures to re-establish the specified condition 7.1 General It is essential to observe the following during all maintenance work: The relevant regulations in section 1.. The notes on safety at work in section 6 Standards and specifications in the country where the switchgear is erected. It is recommended that ABB after sales service personnel be called in to perform servicing and repair work. Follow/observe the instructions on SF 6 systems and the ABB instruction manual on the handling of insulating gases and procedures for fault conditions. The handling regulations for SF 6 also apply accordingly to nitrogen. Keep these instructions and manual permanently on display and available in the switchroom. The inspection and servicing intervals for the switching devices are determined by fixed criteria such as switching frequency and number of shortcircuit breaking operations. The length of the intervals for inspection and servicing of the control cabinet and its equipment is influenced by ambient conditions (for instance pollution and aggressive atmosphere). In addition to this instruction manual, the following instruction manuals must be observed: Insulating gas system BA 47/E Bay control and protection unit REF54 BA 453/E Circuit-breaker VD4 X BA 436/E Further details can be found in the technical documentation for the switchgear installation (including, for example, any agreed special operating conditions). 7. Inspection/servicing Under normal operating conditions (see section 1.3), checking of the operating mechanisms is to be carried out by a suitably qualified electrician after 10 years at the latest or after 10,000 operating cycles of the circuit-breaker and,000 operating cycles of the three-position switch or disconnector. In exceptional operating conditions (including adverse climatic conditions) and/or particularly adverse environments (including heavy contamination and aggressive atmosphere) inspection at shorter intervals may be required. Inspection is first and foremost to be visual examination for contamination, corrosion and moisture. The inspection should however also include checking of the mechanical and electrical functions of the following devices: Switching devices Bay control and protection unit REF54. If an incorrect condition is found, the corresponding repair work is to be initiated immediately. Cleaning If the necessity of cleaning is established during inspections, the following procedure is to be adopted: Prior to cleaning, isolate and secure the working area if necessary in accordance with the safety rules of DIN VDE and IEC. Cleaning of surfaces in general: Remove weakly adhering dry dust deposits with a soft dry cloth. Remove more strongly adhering contamination with slightly alkaline household cleanser, or with Rivolta BWR 10. Cleaning of insulating material surfaces and conductive parts (outside the gas compartments): Minor contamination with Rivolta BWR 10. Strongly adhering contamination with Cold cleanser 716 Cleaning of busbar insulating parts, cable sockets and busbar sockets with cable cleanser MAB. Observe the manufacturer s instructions and the special ABB instruction manuals BA 100/E and BA 1006/E on safety at work. Wipe down after cleaning, using clean water, and dry properly.

Three-position switch and disconnector The three-position switch and disconnector are maintenance-free for 000 operating cycles. 7..3 Gas system and gas servicing Consult the relevant sections of instruction manual BA 47/E for further information. 7..4 Outlet filter The filter mats in the outlet filter are to be changed as required. Note the information on inspection and servicing in section 7.. Replacement procedure: Draw off the grille. This is done by prising off with the fingertips in the recesses at the bottom end of the filter. Change the filter mat. Replace the grille. Spare filter mats: Part no. (order ref.) Filter mat for fan system: GCE0995403P0100 7.3 Repair Remove all rust from damaged paintwork areas on sheet steel and other steel parts mechanically, e.g. with a wire brush. Lightly grind the surrounding paint coat and carefully degrease the entire area. Then immediately apply an anti-rust primer and, after an appropriate hardening period, apply the top coat. Only use suitable and compatible paint products. Use top coat paint in the standard colour RAL 703, or the relevant special colour. Carefully remove any white rust from galvanised and chromium plated functional parts and rust on phosphated parts with a wire brush or a cleaning pad, e.g. Scotch-Brite, and clean with a dry cloth. Then grease evenly with Isoflex Topas NB 5. Notes: It is essential to observe the section on safety at work in instruction manual BA 47/E for all work on gas compartments.
