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 end up in
the cable compartment, ready for connection
to the three current transformers supplied.

Before installation:
• Check that the three current transformers

have been delivered and that they are all of

the same type
• Check that the current transformers are of
60 the correct type, with the correctly rated
130 130 transformer ratio, for the distribution
transformer’s rated current and for the
adjustment range on the protection relay
(see protection relay manual)

Each current transformer must be mounted

onto its high voltage cable before the cable
termination is fitted.
Installing current transformers. The cable shielding is led
back through the centre hole and earthed. The earth shield on the cable must be led back
through the centre 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 compartment.

After the current transformers have been installed

in the unit, the cables from the protection relay
are connected. Consult the manual supplied
with the protection relay for a description of
the connections.

5.3 Installation and replacement of fuse links

The F-module is equipped with a blown fuse
indicator. If this indicator changes colour from
white to red, this means that at least 1 fuse-link
has blown. This will also automatically trip all
three phases of the switch-fuse disconnector.
It also makes operation of the switch-disconnector
impossible before the blown fuse-link(s) has
been replaced.

Acc. to IEC 60282-1 it is advisable to replace all

3 fuse-links even if only 1 or 2 has blown.

Fuse-links are replaced as shown in the sequence

of illustrations. Switch-fuse combinations are 2. Close earthing switch by turning operating

Blown fuse-link can also be indicated by means
of an auxiliary switch (1NO).

Motor operation, coils and auxiliary switches

can easily be retrofitted.

VPIS
When ordered, switchgear can also be supplied
with an auxiliary switch (1NO) for monitoring
of SF 6 pressure.

HR-module Access to the low-voltage connections is gained

by removing the top front panel.

All modules can be equipped with capacitive
voltage indication type HR-module (VDS) or
VIM-1 VIM-3
VPIS (Voltage Present Indicating System) acc.
to IEC 61958.

This system has integrated LEDs.

By means of the sockets in VPIS and HR it is

possible to carry out phase balance check
using suitable phase comparators.

Ammeter Selector switch

6.3 Current measurement
Ammeter (72x72 mm) and selector switch can be
installed in each module. Current transformers
have to be installed inside the cable compartment.

6.4 Side extension

When ordered, switchgear can be manufactured
with side extension on both sides. This makes
the switchgear more flexible and it can then
be prepared for future extension.
ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT 21

6.5 Ronis key interlock

To prevent unintended operations, all
switches (except switchdisconnector on
switch-fuse combination) have the possibility
to be equipped with Ronis key interlock type
