To minimize assembly footprint, cable trunking will be positioned at the rear of the column, without the need
for additional compartment at the front of the assembly.
The integrated base of the columns will allow the handling of the individual columns or transport splits
directly by a lifting truck in order to facilitate the transportation and the installation on site.

In order to facilitate evolution, the addition of functional units likely to be stripped WWW or
disconnectables WFW for distribution up to 630A or of motor control up to 250KW will be possible, in the
same column, without interruption of power.
For the functional units fixed FFF connection, power connections will be made by isolated flexible bars
connected directly on the vertical bus bars
To meet the needs for operation and maintenance, the system of installation will accept, in the same column,
the functional units of type: WFW, WWW. (IEC 60439-1)
To eliminate the risk of an arc between the protection apparatus of the feeder and the connection on the
distribution bus bars, the insulating functional base plate of the protection apparatus will guarantee a
segregation of connections up to 630A apparatus.
To provide an immediate indication of unit status, the protection apparatus handle will indicate trip position.
The system of plug-in connections on the functional units will not cause wear of the distribution bus bars
during the connect / disconnect operations.
For functional units likely to be extracted, the passage from one position to another will have to be done by
means of a mechanical push button. For the safety of the workers, an interlocking mechanism will prohibit
any operation on load. Feeders up to 630A will additionally be equipped with mechanical striker, which will
trip the protection apparatus in case of extraction or insertion of the unit with protection apparatus closed.
In each position, the visible part of the functional units will correspond and the position will be clearly
indicated by a mechanical indicator on the front face.
The system of operation in the positions connected / disconnected / test will be interlocked and
independent of the control device for protection which will have its own system from 1 to 3 locks.
The WWW units must physically disconnected from the upstream and the downstream circuits and to the
apparatus disconnecting switch in OFF position to guarantee the safety of the men and the machines.
The test position guarantees a physical interruption with positive break indication of the upstream and
downstream power. The passage of the position connected to test, and vice versa, is done directly
without passing through the disconnected position.
This makes it possible to avoid:
the disconnection of the control
the loss of communication during/after extraction
the disturbances of process supervision

Functional units with high heat losses (VSDs, soft starters, capacitors, circuit breaker, etc.) may need to
be ventilated in order to guarantee their performances.
1.5 Installation, maintenance and evolution
The panelbuilder of the switchboard will have the necessary availability and capacity to provide the
personnel and parts necessary for any intervention. The manufacturer will provide the adequate procedures
and will be able, if necessary, to provide logistic assistance.
The manufacturer commits himself to have available spare parts for 10 years after official sales date.

4. Internal arcrequirements
In order to guarantee the safety of the people and the buildings, and to facilitate fast repair. The switchboard
will be designed to limit the risks related to the propagation of an Internal arc fault to its immediate area.
Its containment within the functional unit according to directives AS3439-1 or within the column by possible
addition of a complementary screen according to report IEC1641.

5. Marine application
The switchboard will conform to the specifications Marine DNV (DET Norsk Veritas). It will be required to
provide the test certificates for the vibration. The switchboard will be equipped with the relevant safety
accessories recommended for its application, the degree of protection will be minimum IP22. It will meet the
principal standards of electrical installation aboard ships CEI 92.
The derating tables to be applied will be those intended for a room temperature of 45C.
