RL Series LBS
RL Series LBS
Introduction
General
The RL-Series Load Break Switch is a state-of-the-art, pole or pylon mounted, gas insulated, three phase
Load Break Switch (LBS)/Sectionaliser optimised for remote control and automation schemes.
Innovative use of a puffer interruption system insulated by SF6 gas, enclosed in a sealed-for-life stainless
steel tank ensures a long, low-maintenance service life. A fully insulated cabling system and a simple pole
hanging arrangement all contribute to quick, low cost installation.
Remote monitoring and control can also be provided without the addition of a Remote Terminal Unit (RTU).
The ADVC Controller reads and displays the information which is stored in the LBS and provides protection
detection and communication properties for the LBS.
The ADVC Controller consists of:
 an electronic switchgear controller that monitors the LBS, and provides communication and detection
function (CAPE),
 an operator interface mounted on the CAPE (O.I.),
 a power supply which also supplies power for customer equipment (PSU),
 an accessories and customer equipment compartment.
The customer compartment provides ample room for equipment. Standard communications cables can be
used for connection to the communications ports on the CAPE and power is readily accessible from the
programmable power terminal block. For more information, refer to Communications and Accessories
Installation (see page 31).
Role of the Sectionaliser

When used with an ADVC Controller, the RL-Series LBS can perform the function of an automatic
sectionaliser. The sectionalising logic opens the LBS during the dead time of an upstream recloser at a
point in the reclose sequence configured by the user.
The sectionaliser feature can be enabled or disabled by an operator from the O.I. When enabled, the
sectionaliser uses the Supply Interruption Counter to "count" the trips of an upstream recloser during a
reclose sequence. When the counter reaches the user configured value the LBS is automatically tripped.
The downstream fault is isolated from the network and the upstream recloser restores supply to feeders
upstream of the LBS.
The below figure ‘Positioning of the Load Break Switch’, shows a simple network giving the relative
positioning of the LBS downstream of a recloser. From the figure it can be seen how a fault condition
downstream of the LBS can be isolated and supply restored by the recloser to feeders upstream of it. The
fault condition must be rectified before the LBS is manually closed to restore downstream supply.
Terminology
The RL-Series switchgear bushings are identified as I, II, and III on one side, usually the source side, and
X, XX, and XXX on the other, usually the load side. (Source and load side are configurable via the ADVC).

Site Installation
General
If you are replacing a pole-top control cubicle (PTCC) or an original ADVC Controller (Ver 43 or earlier)
with an ADVC Controller (Ver 44 or above), the following should be considered:
Perform the following steps to install the ADVC Controller:
 The ADVC Controllers have different mounting points to the PTCC.
NOTE: An accessory mounting bracket can be purchased to allow the use of the same mounting holes
as were used with the manufacturer’s PTCC. (Part No. 99800125)
 The connection to the auxiliary supply enters the cubicle at a different point.
 The earth stud is in a different position.
 Accessory cables may need extending.
 Unlike the PTCC which required an auxiliary power supply rating of 50 VA, the ADVC Controller requires
200 VA.
 If the auxiliary supply is provided by an external VT connected through the LBS, there are limitations to
the supply ratings of equipment powered by the radio power supply. For an external VT, the maximum
continuous current drawn from the radio supply should be limited to 0.5 A.
 The ADVC Controller (Ver 44 or above) door is held open by a door stay mechanism which stops the
door swinging or blowing shut. To disengage the door stay follow the directions on the operator sheet
located on the inside of the door.
Tools Required
Below are the list of tools required:
 Torque wrench and metric socket set, normal engineers tools.
 Tools to prepare pole as required.
 Crane or other lift for LBS and ADVC, four D-shackles and slings.

19.Fit the batteries if they are not already in place.
20.If communications equipment is to be installed. Refer Communications and Accessories Installation
(see page 31).
21.Otherwise refer Testing Your Installation (see page 39).
NOTICE
PERMANENT EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
 Maintain proper polarity when connecting the batteries.
 While inserting the batteries, avoid the damage to electronic systems.
 Fitting the batteries with reverse polarity causes damage to the electronic systems.
Cable Tail Connections

HV cables are supplied in one of two forms:
 Fitted with a lug to be bolted to a factory fitted palm on the end of the bushing (250 or 400 A), or
 Fitted with a threaded termination that is screwed into the bushing (630 A).
In both cases the procedure is to attach the cable to the bushing and then cover with the bushing boot as
detailed in the following sections.
 The bushing is supplied clean and protected with a plastic cap. Ensure this is undisturbed and the
bushing body and tin plated central conductor or palm are clean and undamaged. If the bushing has
become soiled then clean with methylated spirits. Sand or brush the aluminium palm to remove oxide.
 Grease the bushing and the conductor with the silicone grease provided (part number 990000350).
N00-811 10/2017 21
 Unpack the cable tail and bushing boots. Check that the cable termination and the boot are clean and
undamaged. If necessary, clean with methylated spirits.
 Push the boot down the cable to a distance approximately 1 m from the termination (place a small
amount of grease on the closed end of the boot to assist the boot to slide down the cable). Fill the
bushing boot with the silicone grease provided, starting at the closed end and finishing approx 60 mm
from the open end of the boot. Hint - as you fill the boot with grease, keep sliding it down the cable as
this pushes the grease up into the boot.
 For 630 A cables terminated with a screw thread, ensure the thread, locknut and bushing surfaces are
clean and dry. Screw the tail into the bushing by turning the whole cable tail. Tighten to 50 Nm using a
spanner across the brass locknut fitted. Take care to apply only twisting forces to the terminal (no shear
force).
 For 250 and 400 A cables terminated with a lug, smear with aluminium jointing paste and bolt the lug to
the bushing palm with the two M10 bolts provided and tighten to 44 Nm using a 17 mm socket.
 Grease the surface of the bushing, slide the bushing boot down over the bushing while rotating the boot
to and fro. Fix into place using the clamping ring and spanner provided. The bottom of the boot should
be firmly seated on the side of the LBS tank. During the clamping process silicone may bleed from the
top of the boot where the cable tail comes out. This is quite normal and can be assisted by sliding a
small screwdriver into the boot alongside the cable tail but be very careful not to damage the bushing.
Silicone grease will also come out around the bottom of the bushing. This is quite normal. Wipe off
excess silicone grease with a clean cloth.
The insulated cables supplied by the manufacturer are rated for use at the following voltages and ratings:
Up to 15 kV 100 mm minimum clearance phase to phase, orphase to earth

>15 kV to 38 kV 150 mm minimum clearance phase to phase, orphase to earth
NOTE: Smaller clearances may cause degradation of cable insulation.
Surge Arrester Mounting and Terminating

Purpose designed mounting brackets are provided for the installation of surge arrestors. The brackets are
secured to the support legs welded to the LBS tank. The brackets are secured using bolts through pre-
drilled holes. The bolts are provided with the brackets and arresters. Connections from the surge arrestors
to the cable tails can be made by stripping off the cable tail insulation and using a parallel or "T" type clamp
to make the connection to the cable tail. The connection should be made far enough up the tail so that
phase/phase and phase/earth clearances are maintained. A distance of 200 mm above the bushing boot
is suggested.
For the 38 kV version, the bracket must be installed with the arrows pointing up.
The cable tail is watertight, hence additional water blocking where the insulation has been removed is not
required, however it is good practice to tape the joint to maintain the cabling system insulation.
22 N00-811 10/2017
Each surge arrestor fitted to the 38 kV model recloser must not exceed a maximum front length of 578 mm
and a maximum weight of 7.0 kg.
Earthing (Grounding)
Figure Common Earthing and L.V Supply (see page 25) shows the earthing (grounding) common to all
installations.
This arrangement earths the LBS frame and the surge arresters directly to earth through a main earth bond
consisting of a copper conductor of 70 mm2. Any surges will flow down this path.
DANGER
HAZARD OF DEATH AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
 Do not earth surge arresters by a different path, doing this may cause damage to the control
electronics or LBS.
 Also, any antenna should be bonded to the LBS or the main earth bond.
The ADVC cubicle is connected to this main earth bond by a tee-off. The control cubicle electronics are
internally protected from potential differences which may occur between the LBS frame and ADVC Cubicle
frame whilst surge currents are flowing down the main earth bond. No other connections to earth from the
ADVC cubicle are allowed since surge currents will also flow in those paths. Follow this arrangement on
both conducting and insulating power poles. Keep the main earth bond physically separated from the
control cable, as they run down the power pole, by the maximum spacing available and at least 150 mm.
LV Auxiliary Power from Mains
Where LV mains are connected to the ADVC cubicle to provide auxiliary power the connection must
connect the neutral of the LV system to a tee-off from the main earth bond as shown in figure Common
Earthing and L.V Supply (see page 25). A low voltage surge arrester must also be fitted from the LV phase
connection to this tee-off.
This connection scheme bonds the LV and HV earths and so protects the primary insulation of the auxiliary
supply transformer in the control cubicle when surge currents are flowing. Fit additional LV surge arresters
to all the other LV phases (if they exist), to balance the supply for other users connected to the LV system.
Instead, use one of the alternative arrangements detailed on the following pages
LV Auxiliary Power from Dedicated Utility Transformer
N00-811 10/2017 23
Figure Utility Auxiliary Transformer (see page 27) shows wiring and earthing if a dedicated transformer is
supplied by the utility. Note that this should not be used to supply any other equipment without consulting
the manufacturer, which helps to ensure that no hazard ensure that no hazard is caused to the control
cubicle electronics.
Figure Utility Auxiliary Transformer (see page 27) shows that the transformer and any steelwork is earthed
to the switchgear tank and that one side of the transformer secondary is earthed to the earth stud on the
equipment panel inside the control cubicle.
Auxiliary Power from Integrated Transformer
The manufacturer can provide a dedicated voltage transformer which connects directly into the control
electronics. This is called an Integrated Auxiliary Supply. An external transformer is mounted as shown in
Figure Utility Auxiliary Transformer (see page 27) which also shows suggested HV connections. The
secondary of the external transformer connects into the MDIM on the inside of the motor enclosure. To
connect the transformer secondary, remove the control cable cover plate, pass the cable which is pre-fitted
with a cable gland through the hole, secure the gland, connect the auxiliary supply to the screw terminal
block on the MDIM and replace the compartment cover. The earthing shown in Figure Utility Auxiliary
Transformer (see page 27) is all that is required for the Integrated Auxiliary Supply.
DANGER
HAZARD OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
If the secondary of the VT is earthed, electronics damage occurs.

Introduction
Radio Antenna
Mount the antenna and run the antenna feed or an external communication cable to the ADVC. The
communication cable/radio antenna, enters the cubicle via the 16 mm hole that is provided below the
cubicle.
CAUTION
Switch off the ADVC before installing the accessories.
Protection of Radio Equipment

It is highly advisable to connect a gas discharge type of surge arrester in the antenna feed to the radio.
Negligence to do so results in loss of radio and control electronics protection, if the ACR is subject to
lightning activity, which could lead to complete electronic breakdown.
A feed-through or bulkhead type arrester fitted to the bottom of the control cubicle is recommended. If fitted
internally, the surge arrester should be earthed to an equipment panel mounting stud by the shortest
possible wire. Holes are provided for a bulkhead surge arrester.
If a surge arrester is not fitted, then the co-axial earth screen should be earthed to the equipment panel by
the shortest possible wire.
NOTE: A problem of this nature is not covered by the product general warranty arrangements.
Customer Compartment
At the bottom of the customer equipment tray, is an accessory mounting rail to install the customer
equipment and accessories.
Equipment installed in this compartment can be powered from the terminal block and can also be mounted
on the rail.
Connecting to the Terminal Block
Step A: Insert a 4 mm screwdriver or similar tool into the square hole above the appropriate wiring point
on the terminal block. Angle the head of the screwdriver slightly upwards and push it in, then lever it
downwards.
32 N00-811 10/2017
Step B: This action correctly positions the wiring clamp so that the stripped end of the cable can be
inserted. Release and remove the screwdriver, then gently tug the inserted cable so that it is firmly gripped.
Refer above image.
Radio/Modem Power
The battery-backed power supply for a radio/modem is provided on the terminal block as described above.
For correct radio connection point, refer figure Accessory Mounting Tray and Terminal Block Connection
(see page 32).
The radio/modem power supply voltage is set by the user in the following menu page:
SYSTEM STATUS → RADIO → S → Radio Supply 12 V
ENGINEER MENU → CONFIGURATION MENU → RADIO SETTINGS → Radio Supply 12 V

This is a password protected parameter.
If there is an auxiliary power outage, then battery power can be conserved by automatically shutting down
the radio/modem power supply. The shutdown takes place after the radio holdup time is elapsed. This
parameter is set in:
System Status → RADIO → S: Radio Hold 60 min
ENGINEER MENU → CONFIGURATION MENU → RADIO SETTINGS → Radio Hold 60 min

If the Radio Hold time is set to zero, then the radio supply will not shut down except under special
circumstances or until the unit power shutdown. The radio/modem power supply is restored when the
auxiliary supply returns to normal.
The radio/modem power supply can be turned on or off by the operator, for radio maintenance without
entering a password in:
System Status → RADIO → S: Radio Supply ON/OFF
ENGINEER MENU → CONFIGURATION MENU → RADIO SETTINGS → Radio Supply ON/OFF

When there is shut down of the radio supply, it is indicated on these pages.

Input Output Expander (IOEX3) Installation
Introduction
IOEX3 module is a die-cast, sealed enclosure that provides optically isolated inputs and voltage free
outputs to allow connection to external devices.
Either one or two IOEX3 modules can be used with each ADVC Controller. The second IOEX3 module is
only available with the ADVC ULTRA cubicle, fitted with the optional upper customer tray. When two IOEX3
modules are used, they are designated as IOEX-A and IOEX-B.
IOEX3 modules, purchased at the time of initial ordering, comes readily installed in the cubicle, located on
the customer tray, powered and earthed via the terminal block located accessory mounting rail on the side-
mounted customer tray.
If one IOEX3 is fitted in the factory, it is connected to IOEX/WSOS RS-232 Port, with the baud rate of
19,200 to match that of the IOEX3. If a second IOEX3 is fitted, it can be connected to either to the MODEM
RS-232 Port or to any of the three USB ports, using a suitable USB to RS-232 converter (SANDY). If it is
necessary to modify the baud rate of an RS-232 port with an IOEX3 connected, for example, IOEX/WSOS
Port; do the following:
Communications → IOEX/WSOS PORT - 1 → BAUD
ENGINEERING MENU → TELEMETRY MENU → CONFIG PORTS MENU → IOEX/WSOS

Default Settings for the IOEX3, including Port Selection and IOEX Events Off/On are available in the
following location:
Communications → IOEX+
ENGINEERING → TELEMETRY → Configure comms → IOEX Settings

The USB Type A ports are not isolated from one another or from the controller electronics. Therefore, they
can only be connected to devices inside the controller that are powered by the controller radio supply,
including modems, optical isolators, and radios.
NOTICE
 Use of USB ports connecting directly to other devices, outside the controller can cause damage and
void warranty.
 If connections to other devices are required, then isolation interfaces must be used.
Ethernet 100Base-T ports

The controller has two 100Base-T Ethernet ports, marked as LAN-1 and LAN-2. These ports use a
standard RJ45 female connector. The pinouts of both the LAN-1 and LAN-2 ports are shown in the
following table.

Windows Switchgear Operating System (WSOS) software is permanently running on the Ethernet port and
cannot be disabled. But this can be configured to run on just LAN-1 or LAN-2. Other protocols can also be
configured to run on these ports at the same time, along with WSOS.
NOTE: The ADVC Controller implements an internal switch for the LAN-1 and LAN-2 support. So, it is
essential that if both ports need to be used, then they need to be configured for different subnets.
Windows Switchgear Operating System (WSOS)

Windows Switchgear Operating System (WSOS) is a software package that enables configuration, control,
and monitoring of the controller on a Windows PC.
By default, WSOS is running on the IOEX/WSOS, USB (WSOS), and the 100Base-T ports.
The default settings for IOEX/WSOS port are 115200 baud, 8 bit, no parity, and 1 stop bit. WSOS can also
be configured to run on the Modem port or any other unused USB Type A ports if required, using a suitable
USB - RS-232 converter interface.
NOTE: A suitable USB to RS-232 or USB to RS-485 converter needs to be installed and configured for
using the USB type A ports for communication purposes.
36 N00-811 10/2017
SCADA Protocols
SCADA communications are available on the controller and supported protocols can be assigned to any
of the RS-232 ports as well as the USB type A ports via a suitable USB to RS-232 converter. DNP3,
IEC60870-5-104 and MODBUS communications protocols can also run on the LAN-1 or LAN-2 100Base-
T ports.
The currently supported protocols can be viewed in:
SYSTEM STATUS → OPTIONS → COMMUNICATIONS 1

N00-811 10/2017 41
Terminal Designation and Phase Rotation
Introduction
The power system phase assigned to each set of bushings on the recloser must be correctly configured at
the time of installation of the ACR. This process is called “setting the phasing”. Setting the phasing affects
all the displays, events, and so on, that are concerned with switchgear terminals, for example: voltage
measurements, live/dead terminal displays and maximum current events.
Normal/default Phasing is A, B and C for bushings I/X, II/XX and III/XXX respectively. Normal/ default
phase rotation is ABC.
If the Phasing at the recloser and/or phase rotation of the network are different from the defaults, you must
set the Phasing and/or the Phase rotation.
On the setVUE O.I., Phasing is set from the following:
SYSTEM STATUS → TERMINAL DESIGNATION/ROTATION → S

1. Press the SELECT key to select the A Phase field.
2. Press to modify the setting. This will cycle A, B & C Phase through the six possible phase/bushing
combinations.
NOTE: Images shown are for illustration purposes only

3. Press the ENTER key, when you have the required combination. The controller then orientates the
currents and voltages to match the selection.
4. In the Phasing field, select the phase rotation - either ABC or ACB.
NOTE: For more details, refer the Event log (see page 65), check that the bottom line of the display (the
most recent event) contains the Work Tag Applied event.
5. After the phasing has been set, record the details on the label on the rear of the control cubicle door
(above the operator panel) to indicate the non-standard relationship between the bushings and phases.
NOTE: A-B-C remains steady and the associated I-II-III designation rotates through the six possible
combinations as shown in the following order, when down arrow is used.
1. A-B-C=I-II-III
2. A-B-C=III-II-I
3. A-B-C=II-III-I
4. A-B-C=III-I-II
5. A-B-C=II-I-III
6. A-B-C=I-III-II
For information on how to identify the individual bushings, refer Terminology .
CAUTION
Incorrect terminal designation may cause incorrect operation, false trips, or even damage to the switch
gear or controller.
On the ADVC flexVUE O.I., Terminal Designation is set from the following:
ENGINEER MENU → CONFIGURATION MENU → SYSTEM SETTINGS → NETWORK PARAMETERS
→ TERMINAL DESIGNATION/ROTATION
42 N00-811 10/2017
1. Press the SELECT key and then use and to cycle through the possible combinations of
bushing/phase relationship until the one representing the correct physical connection is found.

2. Press the SELECT key when the required combination is displayed. The controller then orientates the
currents and voltages to match the selection.

PARAMETERS → TERMINAL DESIGNATION/ROTATION → Phasing ABC
NOTE: For more details, refer the Event log (see page 65), check that the bottom line of the display (the
most recent event) contains the Work Tag Applied event.
3. After the phasing has been set, you should record the details on the label on the rear of the control
cubicle door (above the operator panel) to indicate the non-standard relationship between the bushings
and phases.
N00-811 10/2017 43
Power Flow Direction Setting
Introduction
The recloser is a symmetrical device meaning that, either side (I or X) can be connected to the supply. So,
after installation, the controller must be configured to designate, which is the source side.
The power flow direction may be either Source I, Load X or Source X, Load I and is configured on page:
SYSTEM STATUS → PHASE VOLTAGE and POWER FLOW
ENGINEER MENU → CONFIGURATION MENU → SYSTEM SETTINGS → METERING

PARAMETERS → Source I, Load X
Changing this setting, reverses the power flow direction but does not affect the phasing.
Power flow direction setting is used to determine:
 which power flow direction is positive for instantaneous metering purposes, when power is a signed
value.
 whether power flow is forward or reverse for calculation of historical records
 whether the source or load corresponds to (I) or (X) on the voltage measurement displays.
 which power flow direction is considered positive by Automatic Protection Group Selection (APGS).
 which is the source or load for Live Load Blocking.
 which power flow direction is considered positive by Directional Blocking/Protection.
Tripping and Closing

If system conditions allow, tripping or closing can be carried out.
 Trip and close the recloser from the ADVC. For more information on the trip and close controls, refer
Operator Control Panel (see page 51).
 Trip and close cause the TRIP or CLOSE LED to illuminate, which indicates the on/off status
respectively on the bottom of the recloser.
Enable/Disable Switches
For each of the TRIP and CLOSE keys in turn, test ENABLE and DISABLE by:
 Disable either mechanism (e.g.CLOSE) using Disabled Switches located underneath the O.I.
 Go to the EVENT LOG and check that the bottom line of the display (the most recent event) contains
the Close Coil Disconnect event. (For the same test of the TRIP mechanism the Event Log should
display Trip Coil Disconnect.)
 With both mechanisms disabled, check that pressing each of the CLOSE and TRIP keys are ineffective.
 Enable both TRIP and CLOSE mechanisms.
NOTE: For more details, refer Event Log (see page 65), check that the bottom line of the display (the most
recent event).
Mechanical Trip
Step Action
1 Use a hook stick to manually trip the recloser via the manual trip lever.
2 For more details, refer Event Log (see page 65), check that the bottom line of the display (the most recent event) contains the
Mechanical Trip event.
3 With the manual trip lever still in the lock position, attempt to close the switchgear from the CLOSE key on the control panel. The
switchgear should not close and the event log should display:
 Panel Close Request
 Mechanical Interlocked
 Operation Denied
4 Use the hook stick to return the manual trip lever to its normal position and check that the switchgear can be closed from the
operator panel.
Secondary Injection Testing

If secondary injection testing is required to test protection settings but operation of the recloser is not
possible, secondary injection can be performed with a suitable current injection set and the Test and
Training Set (TTS) in standalone mode connected to the ADVC, with the recloser disconnected.
44 N00-811 10/2017
If tripping and closing of the recloser is possible and preferred, perform secondary injection testing with the
TTS in parallel mode.
NOTE: Any secondary injection must use a frequency, which corresponds to the frequency set in the
controller
Primary Injection Testing

If the recloser can be isolated from the network, primary injection testing can be performed if required.

Introduction
Overview
Sealing and Condensation

All cubicle vents are screened against vermin entry and the cubicle door is sealed with replaceable foam
tape.
Complete sealing against water entry under all conditions is not expected, for example, during operation
in the rain. Instead, the design is such that, if any water enters, it drains out of the bottom without affecting
the electrical or electronic parts. A rain shield on the PSU protects MCBs, if the door is open during driving
rain. The extensive use of stainless steel and other corrosion proof materials helps to ensure that the
presence of moisture has no detrimental effects.
Condensation can be expected to form under some atmospheric conditions such as, tropical storms.
However, condensation is on metal surfaces, where it is of no consequence. The water runs out in the
same way as any other water entering the cubicle. Condensation runs out of the bottom or be dried by
ventilation and self-heating.
All electronic modules are fully sealed to IP65 and are self-heating.
Auxiliary Power Source

The auxiliary supply is used to maintain charge on the sealed lead-acid batteries that provide stand-by
power, when auxiliary power is lost. The controller monitors the status of both the auxiliary and battery
supplies.
A low-power mode is activated when the batteries are nearly exhausted. This typically occurs due to loss
of the auxiliary supply. Low-power mode minimizes power consumption, while still maintaining critical
functionality.
Controller
The controller consists of three submodules.
 Power Supply Unit (PSU)
 Control and protection enclosure (CAPE) with Operating Interface (O.I.)
 Customer Compartment
For more information, refer to ADVC Block Diagram (see page 50).
PSU Module
The PSU module supplies power to the CAPE, and controls the supply from external auxiliary sources.
The power supply module encloses all 115/230 Vac mains connections. Internally, it provides terminals for
the auxiliary power supply connection. Cable-tie points are provided to secure the auxiliary supply cables.
Circuit breakers are used to protect and switch the battery and auxiliary power supplies on/off. A durable
cover is used to enclose all the terminations.
NOTE: The 115/230 Vac mains connection can handle a +/- 20 % variance from the auxiliary supply.
CAPE Module
The main module of control electronics is the Control and Protection Enclosure (CAPE). The CAPE
digitizes the current transformer (CT) signals and capacitive voltage transformer (CVT) signals from the
recloser. These are used to provide various data for the operator.
The CAPE module contains the PCOM board, PSSM board, trip/close capacitors, and O.I. assembled into
a housing that provides protection from the environment, sealing, and EMC shielding.
The CAPE performs the following functions:
 Operator Interface (O.I.)
 Operating the external communications interface to allow monitoring and control from a remote
computer or operator over a communications link.
 Switchgear Monitoring and Control
N00-811 10/2017 47
 Communicating with WSOS5 over an RS-232, USB or Ethernet link. The IOEX/WSOS port is by default
configured for WSOS connection. USB type B (WSOS) and Ethernet ports are permanently configured
for WSOS.
 Supply power to all electronic circuits and the customer compartment.
Ancillary Equipment
The ADVC Controller is fitted with a standard customer compartment tray that facilitates the mounting of
ancillary equipment, for example, a radio or modem including any special interfaces. The compartment has
a terminal block for the radio supply and power for accessories such as, an IOEX3.
Protection and Communications Submodule (PCOM)

The PCOM submodule contains a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), which samples the current and voltage
signals from the switchgear and processes them to derive the basic power system information such as
current, voltage, frequency, real power, reactive power, and so on. This is then used by the General
Purpose Processor (GPP) to provide protection and communications functions for example, over-current
protection. It also presents this data to the outside world via various communications protocols.
Power Supply and Switchgear Module (PSSM)

The PSSM fulfills power supply and switchgear functionality.
The power supply function controls and filters the supply from external auxiliary supplies. Power is supplied
to all the electronic submodules in the ADVC Controller and customer compartment. It also manages the
battery power level and performs battery testing.
The switchgear interface function provides controlled pulses of current to trip and close the switchgear.
Operator Interface
The O.I. is mounted on the CAPE and is accessed by opening the cubicle door. Operators can view
switchgear and system data as well as control and configure the system via the O.I. The O.I. has its own
electronic processing and driver circuit, and operator control panel with LCD, membrane keyboard, and
status LEDs.
48 N00-811 10/2017
WSOS5 Interface
To use WSOS5 to upload or download data, connect between either:
 a serial port on the WSOS PC and the IOEX/WSOS RS-232 Port. Use an RS-232, DB9 female to DB9
female, crossover cable (also known as Null Modem).
 USB on the WSOS PC and the USB port on the controller. Use a standard USB Type A to Type B cable.
 100Base-T Ethernet ports. Either a standard Ethernet cable or a cross-over cable can be used.
Customer Compartments
The COMPACT cubicle compartment is fitted with an accessory tray that facilitates the mounting of your
equipment, for example, a radio or modem.
The ULTRA cubicle has one standard, and one optional accessory tray to allow for more equipment. The
standard tray has a terminal block for the radio power supply and power for accessories such as an IOEX3.

Introduction
Overview
The ADVC can be remotely controlled via modems or other communications devices. It can be controlled
locally using a laptop computer connected directly via serial, USB, or Ethernet port to the ADVC as well as
by the Operator Interface (O.I.). The O.I. offers full functionality to modify settings, trip, and close the
recloser or display current values and past events related to the operation of the ACR.
The O.I. is mounted on the CAPE inside the ADVC Controller cubicle and accessed by opening the cubicle
door. The O.I. consists of a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and key pad with light emitting diodes (LEDs).
Together, these hardware features provide a user interface to monitor and control the ACR/LBS.
The two styles of operator interface currently available are known as setVUE and flexVUE. Each style
caters for particular customer requirements and are described below.
setVUE
A traditional O.I. that features a large 4 × 40 character display and uncluttered panel layout including four
user configurable quick keys.
flexVUE
The flexVUE provides the user with 20 LED indicator lights and 12 quick action keys also with LED's that
are configurable by the user through WSOS 5. This style provides the user with instant feedback about the
switchgear, and reduces the need to navigate through layers of menu structure.
Both the setVUE and flexVUE O.I.'s, and their operation are described in detail on the following pages.
If the door proximity switch is installed, the O.I. turns on automatically when the door is opened and off
when it is closed. The O.I. also turns off automatically, if no keys are pressed for 10 minutes. Pressing the
PANEL ON key reactivates the panel.
This manual contains examples of display interface screens. In general, the language chosen for these
examples is International English. In some cases, screen text differs if the configured language is English
(USA).

17 Enable/ DisableTRIP Disables all trip Operations. When the switch is in the Disable position the trip coil in the recloser
switch is electrically disconnected from the control electronics. Thus the switch provides a physical
isolation point for the control circuitry. The recloser cannot be opened, and an audible alarm in the
panel sounds and the DISABLED LED in the TRIP key will flash. The TRIP key operates normally
when the switch is in the Enable position.
This switch also stops a close operation, so that the switchgear cannot be carrying load without
the ability to trip.
18 Enable/ DisableCLOSE Disables all close operations. When the switch is in the Disable position the close coil in the
switch recloser is electrically disconnected from the control electronics. Thus the switch provides a
physical isolation point for the control circuitry. The recloser cannot be closed and an audible
alarm in the panel will sound and the DISABLED LED in the CLOSE key will flash. The CLOSE

7 Indicator LEDs Provide instant indication of the controller and switchgear status.
Depending on the configuration, the lamps can be red, green, or orange and on, off or
FLASHING. The multiple colors allow for grouping of similar functions for example, red
for protection, orange for voltage and green for system health.
[For example]
The configuration of the status lamps can be changed within WSOS Version 5.
8 TRIP key Trips the switchgear to Lockout and the green lamp located inside the button indicates
the open state of the recloser.
9 CLOSE key Closes the switchgear and the red lamp located inside the button indicates the close
state.
10 LAMP DATA key Provides the operator with additional data specific to each status lamp.
11 LAMP RESET key Resets the status lamps.
Lamps requiring further attention from the operator remains lit.
NOTE: Some of the status lamps such as “controller power” and “terminal live” are
continuously updated and therefore not affected by the reset command.
12 EVENT LOG key Displays the recloser and controller Event Log on the LCD display. Older events can be
viewed by pressing the UP arrow key.
13 Quick Action Key Unlock To use the Quick Action Keys, an operator must first press the unlock key. The lamp

further confirmation and the lamp next to the key indicates the new status.
15 Enable/ Disable TRIP CIRCUIT Disables all trip operations.
key When the switch is in the Disable position, the trip coil in the recloser is electrically
disconnected from the control electronics. Thus the switch provides a physical isolation
point for the control circuitry. The recloser cannot be opened, and an audible alarm in the
panel sounds and the DISABLED LED in the TRIP key flashes. The TRIP key operates
normally when the switch is in the Enable position. This switch also stops a close
operation, so that the switchgear cannot be closed unless it is able to trip.
16 Enable/ Disable CLOSE CIRCUIT Disables all close operations.
key When the switch is in the disable position, the close coil in the recloser is electrically
disconnected from the control electronics. Thus the switch provides a physical isolation
point for the control circuitry. The recloser cannot be closed and an audible alarm in the
panel sounds and the DISABLED LED in the CLOSE key flashes. The CLOSE key
operates normally when the switch is in the Enable position.
Default Configuration
The status lamps and the quick action keys are programmed in the factory to a default configuration. This
can be changed to suit the needs of the user through Windows Switchgear Operating System (WSOS5).
Status Lamps
These lamps are used to indicate the controller and switchgear status. The default configuration is shown
below. Each lamp indicates that the state of the function described next to it. When a state is active, the
lamp is lit.
58 N00-811 10/2017
For example:
When, the recloser is in Lockout the lamp next to "Lockout" is on. Conversely, if the lamp is off, the recloser
is not in a lockout state.
It is possible that more than one lamp is lit at a given time.

For example:
When, a recloser tripped to lockout due to an overcurrent fault on Phase A, both "Lockout" and "A-Phase
O/C" lamps are lit.
LED# Color Description Possible Causes

for it automatically.
Alerts Menu
TheflexVUE panel provides the user with a specific location to deal with alerts from the controller. The
ALERTS MENU is found as part of the MAIN MENU on the operator interface. You can view these alerts
in the same way you would view any other menu options. Alerts are split into two categories, critical and
normal.
Normal Alerts
All normal alerts go into the ALERTS MENU. The activation of a normal alert causes the title line of the
current display to show:
xx Alerts Active
This alternates with the current display title at a sufficient rate that the current display is easily readable so
that panel usage and field editing can easily continue. XX is the number of alerts that are present at the
time.
The displayed number of normal alerts may change from one flash to the next if a new alert is added or an
old one is removed.
The title of the alert menu contains the number of alerts that are present. This is shown as:
ALERT MENU X/Y
Where ‘X’ is the alert currently displayed and ‘Y’ is the total number of alerts present.
A normal alert message will generally be longer than 20 characters and will automatically scroll to allow
viewing of the complete message. If, a normal alert is present a beep occurs at a fixed time interval.
All buttons function normally while a normal alert is present.
Critical Alerts
A critical alert will completely subvert the operation of the LCD display regardless of what is being
displayed. There is no way to remove the critical alert from the display while it is active.
If a critical alert is present, a beep occurs at a fixed time interval.
62 N00-811 10/2017
All buttons except for the navigation buttons ( , , , MENU, SELECT, LAMP DATA, EVENT LOG)
operates normally while a critical alert is present.
Activating Protection Settings
When settings are changed in the Active protection group (via the flexVUE O.I.), those new settings are
saved but will not be put into service until they are made ACTIVE
When changing Active Protection Group settings, once the first setting is changed the following screen
appears: (scrolling)
This message is displayed if:

 Settings are changed within the ACTIVE PROTECTION GROUP
 The current setting is the first one to be changed.
 Before changing this setting; all the current settings were ACTIVE in service
Once this message is displayed, there are three options:

 NO ACTION: The new setting will automatically go in service if the operator ignores the above message
and turns off the operator interface, or the interface turns off automatically.
 PRESS SELECT: If the operator presses the SELECT key, the new setting is put into service
immediately. The operator can continue to browse the menu. With all the current settings in active
service, if the operator makes another setting change the above message is prompted when the first of
the new settings are saved.
 PRESS THE ARROW: This allows the operator to browse other settings and allow them to be changed.
Exiting the Protection Menu

The operator will not be prompted to ACTIVATE the settings again until they try to exit the PROTECTION
MENU, when the following screen appears:
The operator has to press the UP or DOWN ARROW key. That displays the following:

Event Log
Introduction
The ADVC maintains a log of up to 1,00,000 events that record changes to the status of the switchgear,
control electronics, and ADVC logic. The log also records critical setting changes. The events can be
viewed via the O.I. in the EVENT LOG display group.
The event log display updates automatically as new events occur. The most recent event appears on the
bottom line of the display and older events are scrolled upwards. When the event log is full, the oldest
events are deleted to allow new events to be logged as they occur.
All events are date and time stamped to a 10 ms resolution and displayed in the order that they occurred.
The source of each event is also recorded.
It is possible to apply event category filters when viewing events via the O.I.
WSOS5 software can also be used to upload and display the event log. In addition to O.I.-like time stamp,
source identification and filter category features, it also allows text searches and go to a particular
date/time. The event log can be saved as a text file or as a .csv file. For more information, refer to the
WSOS5 help file.
Reading the Event Log
On the setVUE panel, the event log display group is one of the main display groups.
On the flexVUE panel, the event log is found via a dedicated key on the O,I.
The EVENT LOG is navigated slightly differently depending on which O.I. is installed. For more information
on navigation diagrams, refer the following figures setVUE Navigation Diagram and flexVUE Navigation

Typical Event Log Trip Sequence Display
General
The following EVENTLOG is an example of a phase trip sequence with two trips to lockout.

The following EVENTLOG is an example of a sequence reset.
Display of Events
The difference in the display on the setVUE and flexVUE are shown in the following example.
Consider the following events, as shown on the setVUE:
68 N00-811 10/2017
The flexVUE, by default, would display the bottom two lines (the most recent) first. See below:
From this screen, a complete TIME or EVENT DESCRIPTION is available by pressing the or keys
respectively:
For the TIME, press :

For the EVENT DESCRIPTION press :
In this example, pressing the twice would scroll to the next two events.
Setting Change Events

A settings change can come from various sources - WSOS5, Operator Interface, SCADA protocol, and
IOEX. The controller includes in its log, information regarding the source of each setting change.
If the ALT key ( ) or EVENT LOG key ( ) is pressed whilst the event log is on the display then
the date and time details are replaced with extra information that includes the setting source and, if
applicable, the protection group, curve, and trip number. Pressing the ALT ( ) or EVENT LOG
( ) key redisplays the date and time information.
Identifier Settings change source

WSOS WSOS5

As it is possible for multiple WSOS5 applications to be simultaneously connected to the controller via
Ethernet, a source identification of ‘WSOS’ can be insufficient information. For WSOS5 over Ethernet
connections the first four letters of the PC login name are logged. The usage of ‘WSOS’ is therefore
restricted to serial port point-to-point communication links only.
For example, a setVUE event log display that looks like this:

Introduction
The Current Transformer (CT) signals and voltage screen (CVT) signals from the recloser are digitized by
the ADVC Controller and used to provide various data for the operator.
The ADVC Controller measures up to 10 power system components:
 A, B, C, phase and spill currents,
 Phase to earth voltage on all six terminals.
The ADVC Controller uses the above measurements to derive many system measurements including:
 frequency
 phase to phase voltages
 total and per phase power (kW, kVA,and kVAR)
 total and per phase power factor
 harmonics
 earth current, and
 sequence components
In addition, the ADVC Controller also measures internal values such as:
 CAPE temperature
 switchgear temperature
 auxiliary voltage
 gas pressure
 battery voltage.
Power System Frequency

The controller must be set for the correct power system frequency (either 50 Hz or 60 Hz). This can be set
on page:

Battery replacement is recommended after a period of five years. For more information, refer to Battery
Care (see page 95).
N00-811 10/2017 93
CAUTION
UNPROTECTED OUTPUTS
 Maintain proper polarity when connecting the batteries.
 While inserting the batteries, avoid the damage to electronic systems.
 Fitting the batteries with reverse polarity causes damage to the electronic systems.
The procedure for the replacement of the batteries are as follows:

1. Turn off the battery circuit breaker.
2. Unplug batteries and replace with new batteries.
3. Turn on the battery circuit breaker and ensure that “BATTERY NORMAL” status is restored via:
SYSTEM STATUS → Switchgear Status → -S
OPERATOR MENU → SWITCHGEAR STATUS → SWITCHGEAR DATA → Battery Status

Battery Heater Accessory
DANGER
Where the battery heater accessory has been fitted, the following procedure should be followed:
1. Turn off the battery circuit breaker.
2. Disconnect batteries and heater.
3. Open velcro straps and open heater mat. There is no need to remove mat.
4. Remove batteries and replace with new batteries.

7. Turn on the battery circuit breaker and ensure that Battery Normal "Battery Normal status", is restored.
For more information, refer step 3, Battery Replacement (see page 93).
NOTE: Battery heater failure will be reported in the event log.
Door Seal
Check the door sealing rubber for perishing or undue hardening. If necessary, renew the seal.
94 N00-811 10/2017
Battery Care
DANGER
 Always turn off the battery circuit breaker before connecting or disconnecting the batteries in the
cubicle.
 Never leave flying leads connected to the battery. These batteries are capable of supplying very high
currents.
The battery is predicted to provide good performance for the recommended five year service period. This
is based on the battery manufacturer’s data. No battery warranty is given by the manufacturer of the ADVC.
Once in service, batteries need little care. Procedures for storage and other contingencies are as follows:
 Batteries should be stored at a temperature of between 0 °C to 30 °C (32 °F to 86 °F) and cycled every
six months. Batteries should be stored for a maximum of one year.
 Batteries should be cycled prior to putting into service if they have not been cycled within three months.
When shipped by the manufacturer the batteries will have been cycled within the previous 30 days.
 If the batteries become exhausted in service and are left for more than two weeks without auxiliary
supply being restored to the ADVC they should be taken out, cycled and have their capacity checked
before being returned to service.
To cycle a battery, discharge with a 10 Ω, 15 W resistor to a terminal voltage of 10 V. Recharge it with a
voltage regulated DC supply set to 13.8 V. A 3 A current limited supply is appropriate.
More information on the battery care is available from the battery manufacturer.
Door Seal
Check the door seal rubber for perishing or undue hardening. If necessary, replace the seal.
N00-811 10/2017 95
Abnormal Operating Conditions
The operation of the capacitor charging inverter can be affected under abnormal conditions such as when
the battery capacity is very low. The following features are used to protect the ADVC in this situation while
still allowing the LBS to keep operating.
Low Power Mode
When the batteries are nearly exhausted, the ADVC will change its capacitor charging mode from normal
to low power. In low power mode the controller takes longer to charge the capacitors and the radio supply
is shut down. A "Low Power Mode" event is logged whenever this happens.
Operator close and trip operations can be performed, but may require longer interval in between. If an
operator open or close request is denied, a "Cap Chrg" event will be logged.
To return to normal power mode there is a timeout of 15 mins, for which the auxiliary supply must have be
on.
Excess Close Operations
During testing it is possible to carry out so many trip/close operations that the capacitor charging inverter
shuts itself down before it overheats. It takes more than 20 operations within a minute to do this and is not
going to happen while in service (it only happens during excessive testing).
When this happens the inverter shuts down for 5 minutes and a "Cap Excess Closes” event is logged.
During this time all trip/close requests will be denied.
Defect Finding
ADVC Controller Check
Defect finding within the ADVC involves determining whether the defect lies in the electronic modules, the
wiring or elsewhere. The electronic modules are user replaceable items. Other defects require the ADVC
to be returned to the factory.
A suggested defect finding approach is as follows:
1. If the System OK LED(s), located on the on the operator interface (O.I.), are flashing then the CAPE
microprocessor is running. If the O.I. does not operate then follow Step 3.
System OK LEDs are located in different places on the setVUE and flexVUE panels, indicate operation
in different ways.
The setVUE panel shows Flashing RED System OK LEDs when the system is operating correctly.
The flexVUE panel shows a SOLID GREEN LED the

system is operating correctly and a FLASHING RED LED to indicate an abnormality.
NOTE: Default location - Can be configured differently
2. If the display is operating, check the
 SYSTEM STATUS → Switchgear Status → S
 OPERATOR MENU → SWITCHGEAR STATUS → SWITCHGEAR DATA → Battery Status

and
 OPERATOR MENU → SWITCHGEAR STATUS → SWITCHGEAR DATA → Aux Supply

Status

3. If the System OK LED is not flashing, check for loss of power. Check that the battery circuit breaker is
on and that full battery voltage is present at the terminals. Check the presence of aux. supply on the
aux. supply circuit breaker. Check that the supply between the PSU and CAPE has not been
disconnected. Rectify if a problem is discovered.
4. If power supply is present then attempt to go on-line with WSOS to determine whether the CAPE is
functioning correctly. Replace the CAPE if required.
If this does not rectify the problem then the ADVC Controller should be returned for factory repair.
NOTICE
INOPERABLE EQUIPMENT
Removal of parts from modules will void the warranty.
Replacement of Electronic Modules and Upgrades

The CAPE module is replaced as a complete unit and replacement should only be carried out by competent
personnel. CAPE firmware can be upgraded through WSOS. For more information, refer to the operator
manual.
