2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
SafeRing is a SF6-insulated ring main unit and SafePlus is a
SF 6-insulated compact switchgear for applications in medium
voltage distribution networks. SafeRing and SafePlus offer a
sealed stainless steel tank which contains all the live compo-
nents and switching functions. The transformer is protected
either by a switch fuse combination or a vacuum circuit-
breaker.
The units are delivered from the factory ready for installation.
Available configurations:
DeF, CCF, CCC, CCCF, CCFF, DeV, CCV, CCCC, CCCV,
CCVV.
The units are delivered from the factory ready for installation.

hind the switchgear, the following must be considered:
Unit must be equipped with arc proof cable covers.
Distance from floor to roof must be minimum 2400 mm
Distance from back of unit to wall must be 100 mm
Arc shields with height 650 mm must be mounted
If unit is freestanding (i.e. distance from back of unit to wall
exceeds 100 mm), the area behind the unit must be restric-
ted and not accessible.

WARNING
Distance from side wall: 20 mm. If installed more
than 20 mm from sidewall, an arc shield is re-
quired. For easier installation, it is recommended
that any switchgear requiring arc shields is in-
stalled minimum 300 mm from sidewall.

12. RELAY AND CURRENT TRANSFORMERS
A protection relay is installed in each vacuum circuit-breaker
module. The cables from the protection relay to the current
transformers are installed from the factory and are terminated
in the cable compartment ready for connection to the three
current transformers supplied.
CAUTION
Before installation:
Check that the three current transformers have
been delivered and that they are all of the same
type.

Each current transformer must be mounted onto its high
voltage cable before the cable termination is fitted.
WARNING
The earth shield on the cable must be led back
through the center hole in the current transformer
(see figure on left) and earthed on the earthing bar
in the cable compartment. A mounting plate for the
current transformers is fitted in the cable compart-
ment.

DANGER!
Make sure there is no voltage in the busbars and
cable terminals and that the risk of reconnection
is eliminated in all units. Any remote control must
also be prevented.

17. CAPACITIVE VOLTAGE INDICATORS
Each module of switchgears is equipped with a capacitive
voltage indicator in accordance with either IEC 61958 (VPIS)
or IEC 61243-5 (VDS).
WARNING
The indication of VPIS alone is not sufficient to pro-
ve that the system is dead: if operating procedures
make it mandatory, relevant voltage detectors
according to IEC 61243-1, IEC 61243-2 and IEC
61243-5 shall be used.
NOTE
Under very bright lighting it may be necessary to
improve visibility by additional means.
OPERATING TEMPERATURE
The VPIS will operate reliably over a temperature range of
25 to +50C.
34
17.2 VOLTAGE INDICATORS VDS
VDS is used to detect the presence or absence of medium
voltage according to IEC 61243-5.
The VDS are based on the HR system. The system consists
of a fixed device, installed in the switchgear, coupled with a
mobile device to visually detect the presence or absence of
service voltage and phase balance and on which the indicator
lights are installed.
The state of voltage present is visually indicated with at least
1Hz repetition frequency.
Capacitive voltage The voltage indicators which are recommended are the
indicator type HR VIM1 type used as a mobile device and VIM3 type used as a
fixed and mobile device. Both are made by Maxeta.
The voltage indicators have a maximum operating voltage
threshold of 90 V and a maximum current threshold of 2.5 uA
at 50Hz.
OPERATING TEMPERATURE
The VDS works reliably with a temperature range from 25C
to +50C.
PHASE COMPARATOR
The phase comparator detects the balance or unbalance of
the phases between the interface and/or the test points. De-
tection is by means of a luminous indicator.
The recommended phase comparator of the VDS is the PCM-
HR type, made by Maxeta. It consists of a 1.4 m long test
cable.

18. ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT
18.1 LOW-VOLTAGE CONNECTIONS
Auxiliary contacts (2NO+2NC) can be supplied to indicate
switch positions on all switches/breakers. Access to the
low-voltage connections is obtained by removing the top
front panel. A shunt trip coil (AC or DC) can be fitted on the
transformer switch/breaker.

19. CABLE TESTING 19.1 PROCEDURE FOR SWITCHGEAR WITH TEST
Cable testing and locating cable faults are preformed in POINTS
three ways: 1. Open switch disconnector.
1. Directly on the testing points if they are fitted on the unit. 2. Check voltage status.
2.1 Directly on the cable connectors with the cable connected 3. If voltage is not present, close the earthing switch.

with the cable manufacturers recommended 7. Disconnect test equipment.
practice.
DANGER
Remember that the cable has two ends. Both ends
of the cable need to be isolated. This is typically
done by opening the disconnectors of SafeRing
SafePlus switchgears connected to the cable. The
free end of the tested cable needs to be secured
against accidental access.
CAUTION
Sometimes cable testing through the busbar of the
switchgear is preferred. This way several sections
of cable can be tested at the same time. This is
feasable, but remember the following limitations:
DC and VLF voltages must not be applied to
voltage transformers and surge arresters.
