Phase concordance verification

CAUTION
Operation performed under voltage.

The principle of the phase concordance unit is that it allows a check of the phase
concordance between 2 energized functional input units on the same substation.

Phase concordance testing must be carried out each time a cable is connected to
a functional unit. It is a way of making sure that all three cables are each connec-
ted to the corresponding phase of the substation.

Ø2 mm test probe made of stainless steel. Minimum length: 10 mm. Ø4 mm rigid

socket accepting spring-loaded Ø4 mm with rigid insulating sleeve (banana plug).

General safety rules:

P.P.E. Personal Protective Equipment required during cells interventions.

All the operations described below must be performed in compliance with
applicable safety standards, under the responsibility of a competent authority.

Only undertake the work after having read and understood all the explanations
given in this document.

If you have any difficulty complying with these rules, please contact Schneider
Electric.

The contractor must be certified and authorized to manipulate and perform work
on the unit.

5 - Voltmeter adapter kit:

Description:

The voltmeter adapter kit is used to test phase matching between VPIS V2 and
VPIS ELEN. This kit is only used to check phase matching: it is therefore not used
to measure or deduce the voltage present on the medium-voltage network.

Connecting the adapters:

■ The two test clips have to be connected to the earth of each cubicle to be tested.

■ Connect the two adapters to the two main plugs on the voltmeter.

NHA8934901 rev 01-FLUSARC-36_(EN) 7

FLUSARC Maintenance

6 - Setting the voltmeter and connecting to the voltage

presence boxes:

■ Choose V AC (or V ~ according to the devices)

■ Connect each of the adapters to output L1 on the two voltage presence indicators
to be tested.

■ IMPORTANT: this phase matching check can only be performed: If the medium-
voltage network supply is on.
If the voltage presence indicator lights are on.

■ The mismatch threshold is 3 V AC:

Measured voltage less than 3 V AC match
Measured voltage greater than 3 V AC mismatch

■ IMPORTANT: all the combinations shown in the matrix below must

be tested to ascertain whether the adapters and the voltmeter are
operating correctly.

L1 <3 VCA / VAC >3 VCA / VAC >3 VCA / VAC

Greasing procedure

The greasing process is needed to avoid the corrosion of bearings or mechanical

contact areas and the Blockage / decrease of performances, due to lack of
lubricant or lubricant degradation in time.

WARNING
Degreasing and greasing operations must be performed by using
only the products indicated in the following box.

WARNING
Degreasing of the concerned components is mandatory before any
lubrication.

WARNING
The proper greasing product must be chosen according to the service
conditions indicated in the following box.

Normal de-energized de-energized open closed
Possible energized de-energized open closed
Locking out the Functional Unit
All locking out operations must be performed according to the particular rules for the
network concerned.
Tools required:
■ leather gloves
■ compartment key
■ small, flatheaded screwdriver
■ fuse holder cover lever.
Parts required:
■ 3 fuses with the same reference (verify values in accordance with the transformer
power)

DANGER
Before proceeding to carry out the operations for removing/installing the parts
composing the FLUSARC switchgear, be sure that the voltage was cut out to the
primary circuit and to the auxiliary one.

See the corresponding chapter in the Installation Manual for the

characteristics of the fuses.

Replacement of a fuse

NOTICE
For an apparently single phase fault, it is imperative that all 3 fuses be replaced..

CAUTION
The body of a fuse can become very hot following a short circuit. Take standard
precautions (leather gloves) before starting work.

NOTICE
Whenever changing or fitting a fuse, close the compartment immediately
afterwards to avoid letting dust and humidity enter.
