NOTICE
HAZARD OF CUBICLE DAMAGE
The function is working properly when the selector is on line position.
In case of voltage return on cables when selector is on earth position and
earthing switch open, it is compulsory to move back the selector in line position in
order to re-initialise the locking function.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
Description
DM102370
The live cable interlock function is an electrical interlock preventing the operator from
closing the earthing switch on live cables.
1
Principe
The system is composed of:
bb A mechanical locking assembly acting directly on the line / earth selector, including
an override key that can be used to bypass the locking device.
bb An undervoltage coil for failsafe operation of the mechanical lockout system.
bb A VPIS indicator on the cable side, with a voltage output (VPIS-VO), to detect and
send the voltage signal to the relay.
Operation
bb Normal case: the system is powered by auxiliary power. It is then impossible to move
the selector from line to earth as long as voltage is detected on the cable by the VPIS.
bb In case of auxiliary power loss, cables live or not, a failsafe features blocks the
system so the selector can not be operated.
Override is possible only by unlocking the system with key or when auxiliary power is
restored.

Operating Cable Testing
Your Cubicle
Cable Testing
Cable testing involves injecting a test voltage through a cable between 2 cubicles A and B.
DM102452
The 2 main purposes of cable testing are to:

bb localize a default on a cable (or on a phase if more than 1 cable per phase)
bb diagnose potential problems on a cable
Maximum Voltage of the Test Signal
NOTICE
When testing the cable, limit the voltage to:
bb DC (36 kV positive or negative potential, 15 minutes)
bb AC (14 kV, 1 minute)
bb VLF sinusoidal signal (20 kV)
bb VLF cosinusoidal signal (28 kV)
Injection Points
Depending on the cubicle used, the test signal can be injected through:
bb dedicated cable terminations with injection point cable terminations in the Connection Compartment (if not
using the cable test device)
bb dedicated cable test device
Note: We strongly recommend to use the cable test device because it is fully interlocked and does not require
access to Connection Compartment.

Checking the Complete Protection Chain

Principle
For testing the complete protection chain, it is assumed that the cubicle is fitted with the primary injection option.
The complete protection chain can be checked by a test that injects current into the sensor primary.
This test can check complete integrity of the protection chain, without disconnecting the sensors and without
changing the VIP settings.
It can be used to check that:
bb The sensors are connected correctly
bb The VIP is working and is measuring the current correctly
bb The Mitop trip unit is connected correctly and trips the circuit breaker
These test will trip MV circuit breaker and turn off power. Ensure that it can be done safely.
Note: For the primary injection test, it is advisable to control injection stopping by using a circuit breaker auxiliary contact.
Otherwise, if the primary injection is not stopped the VIP may continue to send trip pulses to no purpose (test scenario 1 only).
Scenario 1:
If the protection settings are low (<50 A) and the injection device used can deliver sufficient current to activate the
protections, the integrity of the VIP and the complete protection chain can be checked directly by primary injection.
This test can be performed by single-phase injection, in succession on each of the 3 phases, in order to check that
the protections trip.
Scenario 2:
Depending on the protection setting values, it is not always possible to inject sufficient primary current to achieve
the level required for tripping. If this is the case, to get round this difficulty, it is possible to activate a protection
temporarily with a low set point dedicated to this test, in order to check operation of the sensors and the VIP, until
the circuit breaker trips. For this test, it is necessary to switch the VIP to its temporary test mode before activating
the protection dedicated to the test.
The rest of this section describes the procedure to be followed for scenario 2.

vv VIP400: 0 to 50 A RMS
Primary Injection Circuit Block Diagram

In this case, 1 primary injection winding per phase is prewired and connected to a C60 type LV circuit breaker
located in the Bottom Connection module. See the Cubicle Desciption section page 7 for locating the module in
the cubicle
Follow these steps before injecting the current:

1. Connect the injection case to the C60 type LV circuit breaker.

opens. The VIP displays a message indicating that the I> protection has sent a trip order.
Note: Injection must be interrupted after the trip via the circuit breaker auxiliary contact wiring. If this is not done, the message
indicating that the I> protection has sent a trip order will be acknowledged automatically and will no longer be displayed.
5. Turn off current injection, then disconnect the primary injection equipment.

Elements Checked During the Tests

The addition of the 2 tests check that:
bb The VIP is correctly connected to its metering and power supply sensors.
bb The sensor rating (200 A) is as expected.
bb The VIP and its sensors are measuring the current value in the network correctly.
bb The VIP processor is working correctly.
bb The VIP is connected to the Mitop trip unit correctly.
Commissioning
Prerequisites
Operational commissioning of the cubicle must not take place before the complete protection chain has been
tested as described before.
Checks and Settings

In the event of uncertainty or a missing report, check the settings:
bb VIP40: values of the I> set point
bb VIP45: values of the I>, Io> and to> set points
bb Values of the 2 configuration parameters: Discrimination with the LV CB and EF inrush delay.
bb Correct the setting values if required.
Once this check has been made, you should make no further changes to the settings, which are now deemed to
be definitive.
Commissioning
After circuit breaker closing, check that:
bb The Maintenance status LED is off
bb The VIP displays the measurement of all 3 phase currents
If these 2 conditions are not verified, check that the network current is higher than the pick-up current needed to
operate the VIP relay through the sensor.

Control and Monitoring Amp 21D Ammeter
Ammeter
The Amp 21D is an ammeter, for cubicle, automatic and self-powered.
The Amp 21D comes into operation whenever the current is greater than 3 A on the network.
DM100757
Standard Operating
Measuring mode
Equipments standard operating mode.
The Amp 21D ammeter displays in succession, by scrolling, the currents on phases L1, L2 and L3, and saves to
memory the maximum values.
DM100755
Maximeter Mode
Maximeter mode (I max.) A press on the I max. button activates the Maximeter mode.
This mode allows display of the I maximum values occuring on the three network phases since the previous
initialization.
DM100756
At the end of the maximeters display cycles, the Amp 21D automatically returns to Measuring mode.
The maximeter is reset by simultaneously pressing the Test and I max. buttons.

Control and Monitoring FLAIR 21D, 22D and 23DV
The Flair 21D, 22D and 23DV fault passage indicator is selfpowered by the measurement sensors.
A minimum 2A current is required in the MV cable to start up the Flair 21D display, an energy storage guarantees a
4 hours minimum autonomy.
The Flair devices have an output contact for interfacing with a SCADA system.
Flair 22D/23DV can be connected to a voltage presence indicating system (VPIS) provided with a
voltage output (VPISVO). In this case, for greater reliability, fault detection is confirmed by voltage absence
without taking into account the current.
Flair 23DV has to be supplied from 24 Vdc to 48 Vdc for a permanent display operating and for the outdoor lamp
supply.(With a single zero sequence CT, self powering is not possible).
DM100759
Detector Pending Fault

Ammeter mode
In the absence of a fault, a load current indication is displayed.
The amperage of each phase L1 L2 L3 is displayed in succession with its reference on the left of the display.
Example:
For a load current of 80 A : for L1
then for L2
and for L3
When Flair 22D/23DV is provided with an earth CT (B type mounting), display of M2 and M3 only.
For each phase: if I>720A display: :
if I2A display : (Low Power).

Maximeter Mode
To access the maximeter function, press once the Imax. button.
For each phase, an indication of the maximum load currents since the last reset is displayed.
Example:
for a max. current of 500 A in phase 1: then ,
followed by M2 and M3.
The maximeters scroll only once.
All the maximeter values are reset by simultaneous actuation of the Test/Reset and Imax. buttons during
scrolling.
When Flair 22D is provided with an earth CT (B type mounting), display of M2 and M3 only.
Detector in Fault Indication

Event A :
the current exceeds one of the thresholds set for a period acknowledge time.
Event B :
the line current disappears (or absence of U with VPISVO option, on Flair 22D/23DV)
Fault indication is active when A is followed by B within a lapse of time of less than 70 s.
bb Phasetoearth fault detected :
display of or or , (or if earth CT).
the indicator lamp flashes (1 flash every 3 s) and the output contact is activated.
bb Phasetophase fault detected:
display of (Over current),
the indicator lamp flashes (2 flashes every 6 s) and the output contact is activated.
For these 2 types of faults, the indicator lamp remains flashing until it is reset (Reset), which can be achieved by:
bb current recovery > 70 s, configurable time delay on Flair 22D/23DV (Reset active if Automatic reset is not on OFF)
bb U recovery, if VPISVO option on Flair 22D/23DV (Reset active if Automatic reset is not on OFF)
end of the time delay, (4 hours on Flair 21D, configurable on Flair 22D/23DV)
bb a press on external Reset
bb manual actuation of the Test/Reset button.

Control and Monitoring VD23 Voltage Detection Relay
Voltage Detection Relay

The VD23 is a voltage presence and absence detection relay.
It uses the VPIS V0 as sensor, and operates with a 24 or 48 Vdc external power supply.
DM100773
Operation Calibration
At power up, the VD23 automatically detects voltage presence and the network frequency, and then performs
self calibration.
Measuring Mode
3 seconds after calibration, the VD23 displays, by scrolling, the percentages of the nominal voltage detected on
each phase.
DM100774
Detection of Voltage presence:

When the voltage percentage becomes greater than the set threshold for all the configured phases, then the VD23
lights the voltage presence indicator and activates (or releases in inverted mode) relay R1.
Detection of Voltage absence:

When the voltage percentage becomes less than the set threshold for all the configured phases, then the VD23
lights the voltage absence indicator and activates (or releases in inverted mode) relay R2.
