1 Overview

1.1 General description

The cubicles of MODULARCseries are modular, metal-enclosed panels equippedwith air-insulated busbars andcable compartments as wellas with SF6gas insulatedswitch disconnectors andearthing switches.

The system complies with thecurrent standards: its overalldimensions are reduced to aminimum without affectingpersonnel safety.

The MODULARC outstandingfeature is the reduction ofspace and installation and

maintenance times.

The applications ranges of theMODULARC switchgears arebasically as follows:

> secondary distribution> transformers substations

The MODULARC cubiclethanks to their reduced di-mensions, they can installedin prefabricated compact, mo-bile or underground substa-tions.

1.2 Main characteristics

1.2.1 EASY INSTALLATION

The reduced dimensions andweight of the cubicles facilitatesthe user in their handling and in-stallation. The work to be carriedout, when assembling more cubi-cles, is made easier by the possi-bility of removing the panel of the

busbar compartment cover locatedover the door, thus leaving thewhole front accessible to the tech-nician.

For the internal arc strength solu-tion, the buffer sheets, supplied forthe composition of the gas outletshaft allows for the easily position-ing of the posterior side, therefore,ensuring an outlet shaft of approx.130 mm.

1.2.2 EASY OPERATINGCONDITIONS

Every cubicle is equipped with amimic diagram which reproducesthe single-line diagram of the cubi-cle, and variable mimic indicatorswhich show the actual position ofthe apparatus inside the cubicle.

On the side of the operating site aplate shows the rotational directionof the handle, to carry out the op-eration required.

To complete the instructions, anadditional plate is fixed on the doorgiving a step-by-step unequivocaldescription of the sequences to fol-low for an easy and safe operation.

1.2.3 EARTHING

All cubicles are equipped with amain earthing busbar, which is fully

visible from the outside, under thedoor of the incoming cable com-partment. It can be easily coupledwith the adjacent cubicle through amobile joining strap. All hingedparts are earthed by mean of cop-per braids or flexible cords.

1.2.4 CABLES COMPART-MENT VISIBILITY

On the door of the cubicle thereare two inspection windows suita-bly sized, which allows for theconditions of the cable terminals,of the fuses and of the apparatusinstalled in the cable compart-mente to be verified.

1.2.5 ACCESSORIES

The MODULARC switchgear func-tionality can be upgraded bymeans of a wide range of accesso-ries (refer to 5.5).

The SF6insulated switch discon-nector type LARC consists of astainless steel metal structure andof six insulators which support thefixed and moving contacts.

It is positioned, inside the cubicle,so as to form two compartmentscompletely segregated: the bus-

bar compartment (in the upperposition) and the cable compart-ment (in the lower position).

In addition to the interruption andisolation function, its sealed metalenclosure also segregates thecubicle compartment.

This peculiar contruction guaran-tees safe maintenance and re-placement operations also inpresence of live busbar.

5.2 Constructional features

5.2.1 METAL FRAME

The cubicle is made of a 15/10 mm galvanized steelsheet pressbent so as to obtain a light metal struc-ture. The quadruple bending of the uprights guaran-tees their excellent strength and indeformability.The components are all fixed together with rivets orbolts. The roof plate is f ixed with M6 type bolts,which can be removed from the outside to ease thebusbars connection. The cable compartment doorhas been built so as to withstand the pressure en-suing from a possible internal fault and is providedwith a special closing system, without handles,through hooks which can be released thus lifting thedoor and allowing it to be rotated counterclockwise.

5.2.5 POWER CIRCUIT

The main power circuit is made ofbare electrolytic flat copper withrounded off edges, and with across-section which varies with re-

gards to rated currents and shortcircuit. To assure the dielectricstrength of 36 kV sheathed bus-bars are utilized. The busbars

maximum rated current is 1250 A,with a rated short circuit withstandcurrent up to 25 kA.

5.2.6 MATERIAL TREATMENT

The door, upper panel and operat-ing mechanism panel under-go adegreasing and hot phosphating

followed by powder coating (mini-mum thickness: 40 m). All other

components are made of zincsheet.

5.3 Functional features

All equipment installed insidethe cubicles are removable tomake maintenance operationsand replacements easier.

All operations are carried outfrom the front of the switchgear.The operating mechanisms areof the dead center passage-type or with energy accumula-tion. In the above last case, the

energy for the movement of thecircuit breaker is supplied bysome previously compressedsprings.

Mechanical interlocks assurethe right sequence of opera-

tions and prevent any possibil-ity of contact with live parts.

These interlocks provided be-tween the switch disconnectorand the earthing switch are ofthe hindrance type with auto-matic selection of the followingfunctions; the interlock betweenthe earthing switch and thedoor of the cable compartment

is of the forcing type on thedoor and of the hindrance typewith regards to the earthingswitch operating mechanism.

The automatic selection of in-terlocks imposes the correct

operation sequence: closing ofthe cable access door, openingof the earthing switch, closingof the switch disconnector.

The separate operating seats ofthe line and earthing operatingmechanisms prevent the per-sonnel from performing two op-erations in quick and uninten-tional sequence.

5.3.1 FEEDER WITH SWITCH DISCONNECTOR UNITS (C)

The feeder with switch discon-nector (line unit) consists of aswitch disconnector and anearthing switch (LARC type).

The (line) switch disconnectorcontrol can be either manual ormotorized (upon request). Inthe manual control, the onlypossible action is performed by

means of the purposed operat-

ing lever supplied in the deliv-ery, while in the motorized con-trol the operation can be exe-cuted either by local or by re-mote control.

5.3.2 POWER TRANSFORMER BOX UNITS (PT)

The PT3 unit consists of pur-posed structures, used forhousing transformers with dif-

ferent powers according withthe dimensions of the unit it-selves.

5.3.3 RISER UNITS (R)

The riser units are used in or-der to translate in safety condi-tions a line (busbar or cable)

from a point situated at a cer-tain height to another point hav-ing a different height.

The Re units is equipped withearthing switch.

6 Ecological considerations

The switchgear satisfies to ahigh degree the ecological re-quirements in respect of envi-ronmental protection thanks to

optimization of material andenergy consumption duringmanufacture

compliance with all ecologi-cal requirements during itsservice life

the use of recyclable mate-rials for efficient disposal atthe end of its service life.

Our design directive regardingenvironmentally compatible de-sign specifies the use of mate-rials which can be dismantledand are easily recyclable. Themetals which form approxi-

mately 90% of the switchgearare easily recyclable. They canbe 100% recycled as new metalcomponents at the end of theirservice life.

Plastics can also be recycled.The thermosetting plastics canbe fragmented and reused asfillers in other plastic compo-nents; the thermoplastic mate-rials can be recycled in newplastic components. Thismeans that the material is re-covered, processed and re-used in the manufacture of newparts.

To ensure efficient and envi-ronmentally friendly dismantlingand sorting of materials by re-sponsible disposal experts, allplastic components are identi-

fied accordingly. Moreover, ma-terial and utilization data sheetsare available to provide thecustomer with an overviewabout the materials used, andthe disposal company with im-portant information regardingthe recycling process.

Thus, the materials used for ourproducts can be 100% recy-cled.

This provides a vital contribu-tion to savings in global primaryenergy and material resources.

All materials were selected anddeveloped so that, for example,switchgear affected by a fire ina building would have a mini-mal effect on the fire load (heatdevelopment and pollutants inthe emissions).

Another important ecologicalaspect is the longevity of ourproducts (approx. 30 years),which is an extremely long ser-vice life compared to othercapital goods. Also, theMODULARC switchgear unitshave been designed to requirelittle maintenance, giving furtherenergy and material savings,and to enable straightforwardreplacement of componentparts, e.g. if new controllershave been developed.

The high-voltage conductingparts of our switchgear unitsare hermetically sealed in aninsulating inert gas (sulphurhexafluoride SF6which is nei-

ther reactive nor toxic). Thus,all environmental influenceswhich could reduce the servicelife are kept outside. The par-ticular characteristic of the insu-lating gas also enables theoverall size to be decreased byapproximately 30% comparedto switchgear without insulatinggas designed with equivalenttechnical characteristics. Thisagain saves on material andsaves on the energy required toproduce the material. Theamount of insulating gas usedin MODULARC is approx. 0.5%

of the total weight of theswitchgear. Once the switch-gears service life has ended,the gas can be completely ex-tracted via the disposal valveprovided in each gas-filledcompartment, and then recy-cled. To this end, the gas sup-pliers have developed an effi-cient recycling method.

In normal operation, the gasneed never be replenished dur-ing the entire service life. Theswitchgear has been designedas a hermetically sealed pres-sure system according toIEC 60694 and EN 60694.

8 Shipping

8.1 Packing

Strictly observe thesymbols and the in-

structions indicatedon the packing.

The MODULARC switchgears areusually packed in a waterproofplastic housing with polystyrenefoam panels protection, in order toprevent any water infiltrations dur-

ing the loading and unloadingphases and to protect them fromthe dust during storage.

They can also be packed withother methods, according with theshipment and storing requirementsand complying with the customerrequests.

Leave the equipment in its originalpackaging during storage. If units

or parts are unpacked for check-ing, they must be repacked forcontinued storage, using the origi-nal packaging. Avoid condensa-tion.

8.2 Transport

The motor vehicle used for thetransport must be equippedwith the loading platform real-ized in an anti-slip material witha high friction coefficient.

The switchgear must be posi-tioned on the loading platformtransversally back to back, byinterposing materials fit for ab-sorbing the compressions andfor eliminating any possible di-

rect contact of the surfaces ofthe different apparatuses.

On the loading platform, pur-posed longitudinal membersmust be disposed, in order tospace every switchgear and toprevent both its longitudinal andits transversal shifting.
