Monitoring the insulating gas
Know-how and management two increasingly important "musts" for all medium-voltage distribution systems
With demand for decentralized generation of electrical power on the increase and requirements for power system adaptability becoming ever more stringent, grid operators are looking for more flexible, responsive and scaleable solutions which are easy to reconfigure (Smart Grid" and Smart Systems). For the operating companies, know-how, understanding and acting correctly are fundamental. bb The current operating status of the distribution system and the switchgear cubicles must always be apparent bb Actions required for power system operation must be derived specifically from the current status and performed without involving any risk
With its ample application options, GMA provides an efficient solution for control, monitoring and protection within the electrical distribution network. Thanks to the integrated devices, GMA can be interfaced easily with monitoring and control systems, station and power systems control.

Within GMA, all operating and fault currents are switched via the innovative vacuum circuit-breaker technology. Here, currents are switched independently of the gas medium. In GMA circuit-breaker switchgear cubicles, SF6 gas is used as an insulating gas and not for interrupting electric arcs.

Vacuum interrupter chambers
Vacuum interrupter design 1 2 3 4 5 Ceramic cylinder Fixed contact Movable contact Metal bellows Shield
As long as 70 years ago, Schneider Electric conducted research into the possibilities of switching and breaking currents in a vacuum. In the 1970s, Schneider Electric was the first to apply for a patent for the use of contact material based on chromium alloys. This alloy is still used successfully in vacuum interrupter chambers today. Back in the 1980s, Schneider Electric started manufacturing ever increasing numbers of vacuum interrupter chambers for use in medium-voltage circuit-breakers. The vacuum interrupter chamber consists of a ceramic insulator, the fixed and movable contact and the metal bellows sealing the movable contact against the ultra-high vacuum in the interrupter chamber. A concentric screen prevents condensation of metal vapours on the ceramic interior. This metal vapour can be created especially on switching OFF higher currents from the contact surfaces. As soon as the closed contact elements are separated in the vacuum interrupter chambers by the drive mechanism, the electric arc (metal vapour arc) is generated in the ultra-high vacuum (< 10-7 hPa). This electric arc remains, as a rule, until the current reaches its zero crossing, and extinguishes within microseconds in an ultra-high vacuum. After contact separation, fusible points are formed on the contact surface until extinction of the electric arc. This results in metal vapour. In its vacuum interrupter chambers, Schneider Electric has been using Axial Magnetic Field technology (AMF) with great success for over 20 years. This technology provides a very good short-circuit breaking capacity with currents up to 63,000 A and optimum control of the electric arc via minimum contact erosion during interrupting the short-circuit currents.

PM100869
At low breaking currents, the electric arc in the vacuum interrupter chamber burns with uniform distribution over the contact surface. Contact erosion is negligible and the number of possible current interruptions is very high. bb If the breaking current rises, exceeding at least the rated current, the so-called Hall effect occurs. The arc changes from diffuse state to a concentrated electric arc. As the current rises, the electric arc is increasingly constricted, forming a limited column. vv High temperatures and consequently high thermal loads occur on the relevant areas of the switching contacts. This negative stress, however, is avoided thanks to the "rotating electric arc" vv Due to the specific geometric shape of the switching contacts, a Radial Magnetic Field (RMF) forms due to the high arc current. This electromagnetic force with tangential effect sets the electric arc into very quick rotation on the contact surfaces bb Schneider Electric uses the more recent and improved Axial Magnetic Field (AMF) technology in their vacuum interrupter chambers. vv AMF involves the application of an axial magnetic field parallel to the axis of the two switching contacts vv AMF ensures the diffuse shape of the electric arc is uniformly distributed over the contact surface - even at very high short-circuit breaking currents. A very large contact surface is utilized for the thermal stress imposed by the electric arc. vv Thus, overheating and erosion at fixed points on the contact surface is optimized and consequently minimized

Interlocking system
The GMAs interlocking system takes account of the various operating modes demanded of the switchgear. The system is of modular design and essentially distinguishes models for: bb Automated GMA vv Remote-controlled vv Interlocks by means of digital bay computers or I&C switchgear and controlgear bb Performing switching operations on the mechanical control panel of the GMA switchgear cubicles vv With interlocks to prevent operating errors Automated GMA switchgear If digital bay computers and the automated GMA switchgear are used, the standard model interlocks are designed using the I&C switchgear and controlgear and its digital components. In the highly unlikely event of total failure of the auxiliary supply, the control, monitoring and grid protection systems are inoperative. In this case, mechanical operation of the control panel of the switchgear cubicle is a manual emergency operation. The actuating concept of an automated GMA envisages that the main aim of manual emergency operation in the event of total failure of the auxiliary supply is to earth individual outgoing feeders and/or feeders in this exceptional case. No other switching used in standard operation is performed. This type of switching must only be performed by specifically trained specialists. The insertion openings for manual emergency actuation are not accessible during normal operation due to mechanical locks. When releasing the insertion opening for the crank handle, operators must be aware that in this exceptional case, noninterlocked switching operations are performed. Switching operations on the switchgear cubicle's operating panel during operation A GMA without automation or integrated I&C switchgear is normally switched via the mechanical control panel of the switchgear cubicles. Internal interlocks within the cubicle ensure a logical workflow and prevent operating errors. For actuation on the control panel, interlocks within the cubicle can be designed as follows so as to prevent operating errors: bb Mechanical bb Electrical/electromagnetic using blocking coils bb The interlocks are of modular design and can be selected specifically for the project in question (see detailed information in the following section "Drive") Interlocking function inside the cubicle, outgoing feeder/feeder cubicle (Examples): Intra-cubicle interlocks in electrical/electromagnetic design. With motorized disconnectors/earthing switches, the grid operator must define whether an interlock via blocking coils needs to be envisaged for mechanical manual actuation on the control panel. To this effect, it must be taken into account that all electromagnetic interlocks change over to the "blocked" position in the event of failure of the power supply. Manual emergency actuation of motorized switchgear and controlgear is only possible when the power supply is present if no blocking coil interlock is provided for manual actuation!
Mechanical locks
Mechanical key-locks preventing unintended mechanical actuation on the control panel are designed as locks. They prevent insertion of the operating crank for manual actuation of the disconnector and/or the earthing switch. A lock-type mechanical lockout does not ensure a logic interlocking sequence. Mechanical key-locks are used primarily: bb With motorized disconnectors/earthing switches bb In the event of mechanical actuation on the control panel, to ensure that switching operations are only performed by authorized staff

GMA drive mechanism with electrical equipment

Disconnector (-Q1) Earthing switch (-Q8)
Circuit-breaker (-Q0)
The mechanical drive mechanism with its integrated mechanical interlocks and electrical equipment features a strictly modular design. This permits straightforward access to all installed components with just a few operations. Disconnectors and earthing switches are designed as three-position switches. The circuit-breaker is equipped with stored energy spring-mechanism which ensures quick operating sequences and an auto-reclosing feature. The individual switchgear drive mechanisms can be completely automated and remote-controlled. Three separate permanent magnet motors are used for automation: bb Of the circuit-breaker to charge the spring mechanism bb Of the disconnector for direct switching ON and OFF bb And of the earthing switch for direct switching ON and OFF The drive mechanism can be equipped with the mechanical "Earthing switch intertripping circuit" as a special feature. To this effect, the circuit-breaker is switched ON or OFF automatically during mechanical or electrical switching of the earthing switch. The "Earthing ON" and "Earthing OFF" operations are performed by a single operation both for the earthing switch and the vacuum circuit-breaker. Additional actuation of the vacuum circuit-breaker is not required for these operations. In the earthed condition, the circuit-breaker switching OFF operation is blocked both for mechanical local control and electrical control. Mechanical interlocks can be replaced by electrical interlocks to enable free electrical interlocking, for example.

Project engineering aids
Project engineering aids
The following tabular project engineering aids are intended to help ensure optimum design of a project incorporating gas-insulated GMA switchgear. Two concepts are available for the GMAs equipment details: 1. The Smart Grid solution, especially efficient in economic terms 2. The individual solution
Project engineering aid 1: especially flexible solution, efficient in economic terms
Despite the full degree of switchgear automation, this concept is especially efficient in economic terms and flexible as regards the investment and operation period. It is based on an intelligent solution with standardized components in the low-voltage cabinet and motorization of each switching device. Requirements regarding operation within grids are implemented via the configuration and parameter setting of the digital bay computers. Digital devices not only provide protection features, but also control, monitoring and switchgear cubicle interlocking. Digital monitoring and control units help implement all switching operations, the internal cubicle interlocks and overlapping interlocks in the switchgear and controlgear, messages and measurements in a straightforward fashion by electrical means. Thus, data can be exchanged between the GMA switchgear and controlgear and a higher-level I&C system (SCADA) without problems. With automated switchgear, manual emergency actuation can be performed mechanically in the event of emergency for the switching devices on the GMAs control panel. As a rule, this is only necessary in a highly unlikely event: total failure of the auxiliary supply. In such an exceptional situation, it is intended that trained staff should earth outgoing feeders if required via an unlocked manual emergency actuation. Complete mechanical interlocking is still possible as an option. If the function can be designed for grid protection as well as for monitoring and control, each with separate digital units, GemControl provides you with a solution in conformity with Schneider Electric systems. Thanks to its modular, replaceable components, GemControl offers a very reasonably priced solution as a separate unit for control, monitoring, metering and data communication tasks. Moreover, the digital monitoring and control system provides the advantages of standardized, prefabricated and verified modules matching the appropriate function on the GMA switchgear cubicle. This concept is extremely flexible and forward-looking, as appropriate parameter setting and flexible fitting of input/output components and open communication enable practically every requirement of the GMA within the electrical distribution network to be satisfied and even adapted subsequently. Moreover, an automated remote-controlled switchgear unit provides an extremely high degree of operator safety, as switching and monitoring procedures required during switchgear operation are performed from a control room and no person entitled to perform switchgear operations need be present in the switchgear room.
Project engineering aid 2: The individual solution
This project engineering aid helps you select the detailed switchgear equipment in a highly individual fashion. Here, all the necessary specific components and devices can be defined individually. Please specify your equipment requirements so that we can offer you an appropriate concept with the GMA switchgear and controlgear. We recommend completing both project engineering aids by a general circuit diagram to cover the following data: Sequence of installation, number of switchgear cubicle types, switchgear cubicle primary equipment of, transformer function, transformer data and protection relay requirements.

Fastening of cables
Cable connection and fastening; example: cubicle width 600 mm
Each high-voltage cable must be fastened to the cable supports in the GMA connection compartment. The cable supports are included in the scope of supply of the GMA switchgear cubicles. In the order for the switchgear, the number of cables to be installed per conductor in each cubicle must be specified. The special clamps made of glass-fibre reinforced polyamide for high-voltage power cables are very well suited for short-circuit protected cable fastening in GMA switchgear cubicles. The features of these cable clamps include the necessary short-circuit protected fastening, plus: bb Straightforward and speedy assembly without special tools bb Compact design, especially for multiple cable connection in GMA switchgear cubicles bb Extremely high temperature stability bb They are corrosion-free bb Completely recyclable On special request, cable clamps suitable for high-voltage cables can be supplied.
Accessories for cable connections
Manufacturers of cable screw-type connectors and surge arresters can supply additional accessories, e.g. adaptors for bb Connection of equipment for high-voltage cable tests bb Connection of a manually actuated earthing device (maintenance earthing switch) bb Primary current testing of the master relays bb Voltage-proof termination of non-assigned outer cone-type bushings
