Installation and operation

recommendation
The switchgears resistance

to ageing in an MV substation
depends on 3 main factors:
1/ The necessity of correct

implementation of connections:
New cold retractable or slip-on
technology offers ease of installation
that favours resistance over time.
Their design allows them to used in
polluted environments with harsh
climatic conditions.
2/ Impact of the relative humidity
factor:
Installing a heating device is essential
in climates with high relative humidity
levels and major temperature
differences.
Ensure that draughts and/or thermal
shocks are avoided in all cubicle
compartments in order to avoid the
creation of dew points (sources of
partial discharges).
Operation and maintenance
3/ Electrical room ventilation control:

Grid size must be suited to the power
dissipated in the substation. These
grids must be placed exclusively
in the vicinity of the transformer, in
order to avoid air circulation on the LV
switchboard.
It is strongly advised to periodically

carry out, (minimun every 2 years
approximately), a few operation
cycles on operating devices.
In case of disassembly, the elastic

contact washers must be changed
and replaced by new ones supplied by
Schneider Electric.
Outside normal conditions of use,

(between -5C and 40C , absence
of dust, corrosive gas, etc.), it is
recommended to
examine, with our Schneider Electric
services center, the steps to be
taken, in order to ensure correct
operation of the installation.
Our service centre is at your

disposal at any time:
b to diagnose the installation,
b to offer, suitable maintenance
operations,
b to offer maintenance contracts,
b to offer adaptations.
After 6 to 12 month operations, we

recommend you to check the busbars
and MV cable connection torque.
It should be done with a calibrated
torque wrench, adjust to lower torque
compare to values indicated in page 4.
If no issues are detected and if the
busbars and cable connections havent
been modified, it will not be necessary
to do again this check.
Version 3600 A / 4000 A:

We strongly recommend that you
clean the ventilation grids A and B
regularly (every 2 years):
A: standard grids
B: grids only on RHB version.
A fan monitoring system must be

installed with the cubicle control
and monitoring devices.
Permanent operation of the
following must be guaranteed:
Cubicles types
14
The equipment must be installed

in conformity with the relevant IEC
standard.
Outside of these normal usage
conditions, we recommend contacting
Schneider Electric to determine the
operations to be carried out as well as
their frequency according to the actual
service conditions.
An MCset 17.5 kV Maintenance

and Services guide is available.
It gives practical information on:
b maintaining the equipment in
good operation,
b ensuring that the equipment is safe
during all installation, repair and
service operations.

taking into account the site loads,
the floor material and dimensions
and the anchorage type.
Also, a slab space reserved at the FU
is better than a slab space over all

Steps to be taken
for tests and inspection
This test must be performed

by trained & authorized people.
This test can be carried out in one

single operation.
This procedure requires to defeat

the interlocks.
All circuit-breakers must be racked-in,

closed, with FU doors open.
It is essential to follow the sequences

here after.
All the VTs and surge arresters must

be disconnected during this test.
The insulation level of the switchgear

can be tested on site. The test voltage
shall be 80 % of the rated shortduration power-frequency withstand
voltage of the switchgear as specified
in clause 7.105 of IEC 62271-200.
More over, one of the FU feeder must

have its lower panel open to connect
the test cable.
Defeating Interlocks
Rack-in the circuit breaker

(refer to the operating manual).
On FUs not connected to the generator
Remove the shim.
Place the circuit-breaker in the test position,

with the door open.
Raise and block the door lock rod using

a 55 mm U shim.
Surge arrester connection
Press the pushbutton I to close the

circuit-breaker
This operation must only be carried out after dielectric tests,

and before the connection of medium voltage cables to the FU.
Place and fix the connection of each surge arrester.
Refer to the chapter on MV cable connection.
