WI Product description

Technical descriptionWIpanelsaresuitableforconfiguringsingleordoublebusbarswitchgearinconjunction with indoor installation.

WI switchgear units are completely metal-enclosed. The busbar compartmentwhichaccommodatesfixedpartsonlyissegregatedgas-tightfromtheflange-mountedswitchingunit.Theswitchingunitcomprisesthethree-position switch with isolating and earthing functions and the vacuum circuitbreaker; in case of double busbar systems, there are two three-position switches with isolating and earthing functions and the vacuum circuit-breaker.

The busbar compartment and the switching unit feature three-pole enclosure. Single-pole enclosure is provided in the area of the toroidalcore current transformers which are located in an easily accessible position outside of the SF6 atmosphere. The compact design results in a very clear switchgear arrangement with low space requirement; it has the advantage that a switching unit can be mounted or removed very quickly without the busbar requiring isolation from the power supply.

The panels are equipped with a low-voltage cabinet for the required measuring and protection relays or the terminal strips. The high performance of the instrument transformers installed means that not only electronic but also conventional protection relays can be deployed.

Thanks to its design, this panel series permits straightforward extension of an existing switchgear on both sides, and extension from single to double busbar models.

Gas-insulated double busbar switchgear WIBRated voltage up to 36 kV; rated peak withstand current up to 100 kA; rated current up to 2500 A

WI Product description (contd.)

Components of the switching unitThe circuit-breaker in question is a vacuum circuit-breaker. The switching unit has been equipped, for its isolating and earthing functions, with a three-position switch featuring the positions:

EarthingThe metal-enclosed WI series switchgear is equipped with a separate earthing line running along the length of the switchgear.

WiringWiringiseffectedwithflexiblecables(HO7V-K)inthetechnicallyrequiredcross-sections.

Corrosion protectionIf desired, the indoor panels WIA and WIB can be provided optionally with enhanced corrosion protection. To ensure optimum switchgear protection, the environmental installation conditions, such as wind-borne sand, aggressivedust(tobedefinedassaltdust,cokedust,cementdustetc.),vermin(termites),increasedhumiditylevels,aggressiveatmosphere(typeofchemicalsandtheirconcentrationtobedefined)mustbespecified.

Installation locationsThe switchgear has been designed for installation in closed electrical operating facilities.

Connection of cables and barsThe cables are connected by means of metal-enclosed connectors. Switchgear units equipped with multiple connection tanks enable connectionofuptofive300mm2 cables or two 1250 mm2 cables per phase, depending on the insulation rating.Alternatively, fully insulated busbar systems or SF6-insulated conductor bars can be used.

Low voltage cabinetThe secondary devices for protection relay, control, measurement, billing metering and other systems are installed in the low-voltage cabinet. The low-voltage cabinet is separated systematically from the primary part, is shock-proof and arc-resistant. It is an independent, closed low-voltage compartment with mechanical and electrical interfaces to the vertical section(screw-fastenedplug-and-socketconnector).The clear separation between the rack and the low-voltage cabinet is a particularadvantageforthecompanyoperatingtheswitchgear.Retrofittingspare panels and conversion or replacement of complete low-voltage cabinets(e.g.duetoprocesschanges)atalaterdateisalsostraightforward. The panel remains completely enclosed even if the low-voltage cabinet is not attached.Optional inspection ports can be integrated in the torsion-resistant door of the low-voltage cabinet, the door also being able to accommodate measuring instruments, control elements and protection relays.

Current/voltage transformersCurrent transformersThe current transformers are designed as toroidal-core transformers and are put onto the cable outgoing feeder areas with single-pole enclosure. The current transformers in line with the busbar consist of identical units. There, they are slipped onto the busbar areas which also feature singlepole enclosure. The capacity of the current transformers is designed in such a way that supply of conventional protective devices is also possible.

Upto3transformers(3cores)canbeaccommodatedperphaseandoutgoing feeder. The transformers can also be exchanged subsequently. Threecurrenttransformers(3cores)perphasecanalsobeinstalledinlinewith the busbar, in order to measure its currents.

A special current transformer arrangement is the „bus coupler panel within one panel width“. In the double busbar top attachment tank, one core of max.80mmheightwithanIDof≤135mmandanODof≥195mmcanbeinstalled for each phase. The low voltage is led out via a max. 7-pole line which is SF6 proof.

■on the busbar A separate metering panel with a set of inductive voltage transformers is provided to this effect. Taking account of the high priority of the busbar, a disconnector enables isolation of the transformer section. Both disconnector and transformer are located in separate compartments. Thus, any damage which might occur in the vicinity of the transformer does not affect the isolating area or the busbar.

WI Product description (contd.)

InterlocksActuation of the three-position switch and the continuous mechanical interlock between circuitbreaker and three-position switch are designed in such a way that the operator can proceed as usual. This means separate, completely interlocked actuation for the switching procedures ”Establishing isolating distance” and “Earthing”. For the earthing procedure, which is only possible with the three-position switch in isolated position, the circuit-breaker switched off and the circuit-breaker energy-storing device pre-charged, the circuitbreaker is connected positively after the contact blades have beeninserted into the earthing contacts, and protected against immediate mechanical or electrical switching OFF. Vice versa, on de-earthing, the circuit-breakerisfirstswitchedoffpositivelybeforetheisolatingdistancetothe earthing contacts established. The interlocks ensure that each switching operation is always performed completely. Thus, once the switching operation has commenced, the motion cannot be reversed, if applicable, and the operating lever cannot be removed before it reaches its end position.

The description only refers to the single busbar. In the case of double busbars, some of the internal interlocking functions of the panel, as well as all inter-panel interlocking functions are performed by electro-mechanical interlocks(blockingcoil).

The following interlocking functions are provided: ■Disconnector does not switch ON while the circuit-breaker or the earthing switch are ON ■None of the disconnectors switches OFF while the circuit-breaker or the earthing switch are ON ■Circuit-breaker only switches ON with the disconnector in its end position ■No earthing with disconnector engaged ■No earthing with circuit-breaker ON ■No earthing without circuit-breaker being in ready-to-operate condition ■Automatic connection of circuitbreaker during earthing ■Automatic disconnection of circuit- breaker during de-earthing

The following has been ensured: ■The operating crank cannot be removed from the disconnector or earthing switch before it has reached its end positions completely ■The circuit-breaker cannot be actuated while a switching operation is being performed on the disconnector or earthing switch ■The circuit-breaker cannot be switched off with the three-position switch in earthing position ■All interlocks act partly mechanically and partly electrically ■An operating crank can only be inserted on the disconnector or earthing switch once the insertion opening has been released via a manual interrogation system. ■All interlocks also effective when the three-position switch is motor-actuated.

WI Cable connections

Cable connections in outgoing feeder blockThe medium-voltage cables are connected to the switchgear panels via metal-enclosed inner cone-type plug-in terminations. The panels are equipped with inner cone-type appliance couplers according to EN 50 181.

Themanufacturer’sspecificationsoftheregardingselectionandassemblyof the plug-in terminations must be adhered to. This does not only apply to the selection of size, but also to all electrical rated data, in line with the switchgear’s data.

It is essential that all appliance couplers which are not equipped with plug-in terminations are terminated correctly using voltage-proof and fully shrouded insulating terminals/ dummy plugs.

To this effect, the inner cone-type cable plug-in terminations for attachment to WI require capacitive decoupling. The coupling electrodes for the capacitive voltage detection system are an integral part of the appliance couplers installed in the switchgear panel.

WI Ecological considerations

A WI switchgearsatisfiestoahighdegreeecologicalrequirementsinviewof environmental protection thanks to

■ optimization of material and energy consumption during manufacture ■ compliance with all ecological requirements during its service life ■ theuseofrecyclablematerialsforefficientdisposalattheendofitsservice life.

Our design directives regarding environmentally compatible design specify the use of materials which are easily recyclable and can be disassembled. The metals which make up approx. 90 % of the switchgear are easily recyclable. At the end of their service life, they are recycled 100 % in the form of homogenous materials.Plastics can also be recycled. Thermosetting – i.e. non-melting – plastics canbecomminutedandreusedasfillersinotherplasticcomponents;thermoplastic - i.e. melting - materials can be recycled in the form of homogenous material. This means that the material is conserved, melted down and used for the construction of new durable parts. Toensureefficientandenvironmentallycompatibledisassemblyandassignment of materials by the responsible disposal experts, the switchgear’splasticcomponentshavebeenidentifiedaccordingly.Moreover, material and utilization data sheets are available to provide the customer with an over- view about the materials used. Equally, the disposal company is provided with important information regarding the recycling process.Thus, the materials used for our products can be reused 100 %.This represents a major contribution towards saving primary energy and material resources. Allmaterialswereselectedanddevelopedsothate.g.incaseoffirewithinbuildings,affectedswitchgearonlyhaveaminorinfluenceonthefireload(heatdevelopment,pollutantsintheemissions).Anotherimportantecologicalaspectisthelongevityofourproducts(min.30to40years),whichisanextremelylongservicelifecomparedtoothercapital goods. Furthermore, the switchgear units have been designed so as to require little maintenance which would in turn use up energy and material, and so as to enable straightforward replacement of part components, e.g. if newcontrollershavebeendevelopedonthemarket(upgrading).In our gas-insulated switchgear WI, the majority of the switchgear panel hasbeensealedhermeticallyinaninsulatinginertgas(sulphurhexafluorideSF6whichisneitherreactivenortoxic).Thus,allenvironmentalinfluencesreducingtheservicelifeareshutout.Thespecialcharacteristics of the insulating gas also enable an overall size reduction by approx. 50 percent versus switchgear designed without insulating gas with comparable technical properties. This again saves a lot of material and energy required for material production. The portion of insulating gas used for WI switchgear amounts to approx. 0.5 percent by weight. Once the switchgear’s service life has elapsed, the gas is extracted completely via thedisposalvalveprovidedseriallyineachgas-filled,claddedcompartment, and then recycled. The gas suppliers have developed an efficientrecyclingconcepttothiseffect.During normal operation, the gas need not be replenished during the entire service life of the switchgear. The switchgear is a hermetically sealed pressuresystemacc.toIEC60694(IEC62271-1).
