5.1.- CONNECTION OF SWITCHGEARS

Follow the steps as listed below:

- Check that the surface on which the switchgears are going to be installed is on a same level (± 2 mm per
metre; ± 5 mm from the position of the first switchgear to the last one).
- Align the first unit horizontally, laying out the corresponding master lines.
- Align the unit vertically with the aid of a spirit level, using the level adjustment screws arranged at the
bases of the switchgears. When performing this operation, the total unevenness of the installation must
be taken into account. Raise the switchgear sufficiently to ensure no problems arise when assembling the
rest of them.

For the following switchgears, proceed as stated below:

- The switchgears have two hanging plates on each side. Release the four plates, keeping two of them to
screw them into their corresponding hole, once the switchgears have been joined. (See figure nº.18).
- Bring the unit that is going to be joined close to the previous one, so that they touch each other.
- Adjust the position and height of the unit until all the fastening screws between switchgears coincide
(points indicated in figure nº. 19, detail A).
- The hanging plate must be inserted between both switchgears (as shown in figure nº.18). It must be
properly screwed down (see attached text to figure nº.18).
- Fit the joint, reference 852317, (supplied together with the unit), between the front part of both
switchgears, to cover the clear space left between them (see detail in fig. 19).

51083900MO-I Ind:C0 31

- Fasten the switchgears together using M8 x 25 screws, as per figure nº.19 (detail A). With the verification
tool, check that the bushings are on the same level and at a distance of 600±1 (see figure nº.17). This
check will be carried out in groups of three switchgears, adjusting the position of the switchgears by
means of level adjustment screws (see details in figures 6, 7, 8 and 9 of the 2nd part of the Operating
Instructions Manual).
- Secure the continuity of the earthing bar through the connection of the union bar of each switchgear with
the earthing bar of the adjacent switchgear (detail C in figure nº. 19).
- Fix the switchgears to the floor. (See detail in Civil Engineering section).
- On the upper union of switchgears, fit a flat washer M8 DIN 9021 between switchgears and on the lower
rear union fit the supplement ref. 51083696MO.

FITTING THE
HANGING PLATE:
Switchgears have four
hanging plates screwed
on to them. Before
bringing the
switchgears close to
each other, unscrew all
the plates and keep
two of them.
After placing the
switchgears on the
right position, two
POSITION 1 hanging plates will be
inserted in order to
leave enough

END SIDE PANELS ASSEMBLY

Once the busbar system has been installed and the tray and the busbar system enclosure have been
assembled, the switchgears must be closed laterally using the set described in figure nº. 22 (the necessary
parts, screws and bolts are supplied separately):

1- Fix the lateral frame (51083448MO) on the last switchgear, using the supplied screws and bolts (4
hexagonal-head bolts M6 x 25 DIN 933 (code 380.080.020.309).
NOTE: For the correct level adjustment of the frame, 4 flat washers M8 DIN 9021 (code 141.800.0) must
be fitted in the two upper union holes, (two washers per union hole).

2- Mount the front lateral panel (51083453MO), joining it at the same time to the vertical frame and to the
switchgear. Use 12 bolts M8 x 20 (code 380.080.020.309) and 12 "contact" washers M8 (code
140.008.0). Do the same with the rear lateral panel (51083452MO).

3- In case the final switchgear is not an Auxiliary Services one, mount the closing supplement
(51083446MO) on the rear lateral panel, using 2 bolts M8 x 20 (code 380.080.020.309) and 2 "contact"
washers (code 140.008.0).

4- Finally, fix the upper closing cover (51083449MO) on the front lateral panel and on the switchgear, using
2 bolts M8 x 20 (code 380.080.020.309) and 2 "contact" washers (code 140.008.0).

NOTE: Remember that it is necessary to block access to the rear aisle in case of wall mounted

5.2.2.-Busbar system assembly

IMPORTANT:
Before starting with the assembly, take the following aspects into account:

• Verify the relative position between bushings, as specified in section 5.1 (tolerance ±1 mm in x,
y, z. Fig. nº. 17).
• Clean the bushings, connectors and insulating caps with alcohol.
• Be careful when handling parts, particularly trying to avoid:
- Blows, hits.
- Surface scratches or torn parts.
- Dirt and dust in general.
• Before proceeding with the union of elements, apply a uniform coat of grease, type AP VP by
WACKER, supplied by MESA, on the inner conical sides of the silicone parts (not painted areas),
and also on the conical side of the bushing. To ensure a correct performance for a long time, use
one dose per each group of three bushings.

• Screw the fixing screw into the bushing, so that in its final tightening, the distance between the connector
of the bushing and the upper end of the fixing screw is 100 ±2 mm, as shown in figure Nº. 24, detail C.

• In case of an intermediate busbar system, fit the "T" connector (51083226MO) on the bushing, and if it
is the beginning or the end of the busbar system, fit the "L" connector (51083225MO). For coupling and
rising switchgears, see section 5.2.3.

• Insert the lower flange for busbar connection (51083227MO) in the upper part of the connector. (Fig.
nº. 24).

• Insert the bar (51083229MO) into the connector, but no to the end limit with the fixing screw
(51083215MO). A distance of approximately 2.5 mm to the fixing screw must be left (see fig. Nº. 24, detail
B). Try to centre the copper busbar between both fixing screws.

IMPORTANT: To guarantee a correct connection of busbars, it is necessary to get rid of the protection that
the copper of the busbar may have on both ends (by sandpaper).

• Insert the connection flange into the fixing screw through the upper part, making sure it makes contact
with the busbars. If it is the beginning or end of the busbar system, put the busbar connection supplement
(51083228MO) between the connection flanges and on the opposite side of the busbar.

• Tighten the joint between the busbars and the connection flanges with a "contact" washer" M16 and a
hexagonal nut M16 DIN 934 (to a torque of 80 Nm).

• The connection will be completed when the insulating cap (51083224MO) has been fitted in. This must
be screwed on the fixing screw. The final position is determined by the contact of the cap with the nut. To
identify that this position is correct, make sure there is earthing screen continuity between the insulating
cap and the "T" or "L" connector. (See detail A in figure Nº. 24).

• Finally, fit the earthing strand (1 per connector), screwing one end to the earthing hole of the connectors
and the other to the bolts on the upper part of the cubicle (Fig. 24).

NOTE: In the particular case of switchgears with rear duct for gas exhaustion (4 sides internal arc), follow
the additional directions of the instructions manual, ref.: 51083903MO.

38 51083900MO-I Ind:C0
 CBGS-0

• In order to verify that the electrical connection is the correct one, do a test for busbar resistance
measuring, at 100 A continuous current.
Resistance must be measured in groups of three switchgears, as shown in the figure below. Recorded
resistance must not exceed 28 mW. When the check is carried out on a complete switchboard, the
maximum value must be equivalent to the multiple.

Measured resistance not over 28 µΩ.

To make busbar assembly tasks easier, it is possible to use two panels (optional) as the one showed in the
figure above. These two panels must be assembled alternately so that the operator is able to move along
the group of switchgears.

5.2.3.- Assembly of busbar system in coupling – rising switchgears

Warning: When carrying out the assembly tasks, follow the aforementioned instructions, taking good care
not to connect the busbar system by its upper part (fig. 27, area A), but by its lower part (cable connection
area, fig. 27, area B).

The earthing strands to be used in this area are ref.: 539.931.015.063 (different from those used for the
upper part).

Before connecting the bars, use the verification tool to check that the bushings are at a distance of 600 mm
between each other, with a tolerance of ± 1 mm in x, y, z axes.

5.3.- VOLTAGE TRANSFORMERS MOUNTING IN SWITCHGEARS

• Put the supporting rails for voltage transformers (reference 51083207MO) as specified in figure nº. 28,
depending on which phase they are going to be placed in. Next, fix them as shown in the detail of figure
29.

• Clean the connection cone of the transformer with alcohol and apply a uniform coat of grease type AP
VP by WACKER, supplied together with the equipment. (See section 5.2.2. about busbar system
assembly).

• Put the subassembly of voltage transformer and support (reference 51083235MO) on the rails, as shown
in the detail of figure Nº. 29.

• The primary of the transformer must remain inserted to replace the insulating cap in the connector. Check
that this penetration is appropriate to assure the continuity of the earthing screen.

Pay special attention to the position of voltage transformers, considering height as well as horizontal level.
For this reason, the dimensions indicated on the corresponding figures must be respected. Regarding the
measure existing between the surface of the tank and the upper edge of the voltage transformer support,
respect dimension 554 ± 1 on the four sides of the voltage transformer support.

All the above mentioned will be feasible whenever the line painted on the cone of the transformer is visible
on the upper edge of the connector. Part of the line must be on the outside and the other part inside the
"T" or "L" connector (see detail in figure nº. 29). Use the adjusting screws of the upper part of the
transformer.

Figures 30 and 31 indicate the dimensions from the outer surface of the low voltage box to the furthest
end of the voltage transformer support.

• Use the drawings supplied by MESA to position and carry out the low voltage connections of the
transformer. See details in the following pages.
