1.1.1.1 Packaging requirements
The following factors must be taken into account when packaging equipment for
shipping:
− stresses occurring during multiple transshipments
− climatic conditions
− shipping routes
− duration of shipment (preservation, environmental factors)
− storage after shipment
− bottoms of containers must be designed to carry the full load of the package
equipment
− packaging must be able to withstand stresses caused by weight and by
forces occurring during transportation
− packaging must be geared to the intended type of transportation and de-
signed to preclude any damage to the equipment
− packaging / equipment may be provided with shock indicators

door height 2.58 m
− If containers with any other designations are used, they must be equivalent
to those listed above.
1.1.1.5 Preservation
The shipment within Europe, specifications concerning equipment preservation shall
be included in the order. If no preservative measures are specified, the freight will be
packaged in the usual manner.
If the expiry date of equipment preservation falls within the period before or during
shipment, or within the expected storage period, persons responsible for ship-
ment / storage shall be informed in due time so that appropriate measures can be
taken.
The gas pressure shall not drop below 110 kPa during shipment and storage.
Shipping covers are chosen according to 1HDG 931 100 (for buses without insulators
according to 1HDG 931 101 P1).
All loads shall be prevented from slipping by lashing and blocking. Means of securing
equipment in place: Chains, lashes, ropes, square timber and wooden wedges.
The side walls of shipping containers shall not be subjected to any loads. Only con-
tainer bottoms are designed to withstand loading and possess sufficient stability.
The circuit breaker shall be shipped only in its upright (operating) position.
The place of delivery shall be marked on the packaging in accordance with the data
provided in the order.
When dangerous goods are shipped, applicable regulations (of the countries of origin
and destination as well as transit countries) shall complied with.
1.1.2 Shipping
1.1.2.1 Loading and lifting facilities
To prevent equipment and parts from being damaged during loading and lifting oper-
ations, the facilities shall be suitable for this purpose in terms of intended applications
and load-carrying capacities.
When moving or lifting packed equipment, make sure that no other than the fixing and
hitching points marked on the packaging are used.
Switchbays and components which are not packed may be lifted at suitable hitching
points, provided that every precaution has been taken to prevent these parts from
being damaged in the process.
The shipping units’ centre of gravity markings shall be taken into account to prevent
the units from tipping over.

Note During loading and lifting operations higher values may occur.
1.1.3 Inspections
Before shipment
Prior to closing the shipping containers, make sure that the equipment to be shipped
is properly secured and without damage.
Check shipping containers for proper technical condition. This is particularly important
in the case of freight containers.
After shipment
After opening a container, immediately check the equipment for external damage and
completeness.
1.1.4 Irregularities
During shipment
Any damage occurring on the packaging in transit shall, as far as possible, be re-
paired immediately. If this cannot be done, appropriate measures shall be taken at
once to preclude any further damage to the cargo.
All irregularities occurring during shipment as well as any remedial action taken shall
be documented and reported.
After shipment
In the event of any damage detected on the packaging or equipment, the insurance
company should be called in and the damage should be assessed and recorded by an
authorized agent.
Any packaging which is damaged or soaked shall under no circumstances be used for
prolonged storage of equipment.
Any corrective action taken with regard to packaging or equipment preservation shall
be recorded in detail. All materials used for these measure must have been tested
and approved.
These standards also make reference to other pertinent standards which must be ob-
served as well.
Additional regulations, guidelines and instruction sheets have been issued by the fol-
lowing organizations:
− German Lloyd (GL-Regulations and codes of practice)

WARNING! All actions described in this chapter may only be executed if all notes, cautions and
warnings of the product documentation, especially the safety instructions in
chapter “Operating Instructions” in document 1HDG 518 020 “Safety Instruc-
tions” have been read and were understood and that all given conditions are ful-
filled. Otherwise, the manufacturer will not take any responsibility due to damages
caused by improperly handling.
It must be possible to clean the shoes before entering the immediate working area.
The working clothes must be made of non-fluffing material.
Power Supply:
The following power supply outlets must be made available in the installation area:
S 1-phase AC outlets (16 A) and
S 3-phase AC outlets (16 A)
Floor Conditions:
S The floor in the installation area must have a firm surface
S It must be possible to keep the floor dust-free with a vacuum cleaner
Outdoor Installation:
S In case of an outdoor installation of the GIS or of GIS components, open gas
compartments must be protected from the entry of dust or humidity (e. g. by
means of installation covers, tarpaulins etc.)
2.1.2 Cleaning
CAUTION SF6 can loose its arc quenching and insulating properties when contaminated. For
this reason, all surfaces and components that will be in contact with SF6 have been
thoroughly cleaned in our factory and have been installed under conditions of ut-
most cleanliness. When working on open devices or gas compartments, avoid the
entry of or contact with dirt, sweat and humidity at any time.
Water, acid contamination and oxygen (especially when simultaneously present) can
cause corrosion that might have a negative impact on the mechanical function of the
GIS components.
Water, especially when combined with acid contamination, can reduce the dielectric
strength of the GIS due to condensation at low operating temperatures and high pres-
sure. For this reason, the degree of contamination has to be limited to a level that cor-
rosion and/or condensation are of no significance.
Installation Area:
Prior to opening a gas compartment, thoroughly clean and vacuum clean the installa-
tion area, especially in the immediate vicinity of the flanges to be connected. Avoid
dust disturbance in the installation area.
Note Carry out a visual inspection of the interior of an open gas compartment.
Note Rub the insulators and all teflon parts with a cloth moistened with a suitable cleaning
agent. Cleaned insulators may only be touched wearing disposable latex gloves. Do not
use water for cleaning under any circumstance!
Immediately before assembly, clean all loose metal parts and subassemblies that
have to be installed and all contacting and sealing surfaces.
Table 2.1-1: Material and cleaning agent
Use a non-fluffing cloth for cleaning, moistened with the cleaning agent. Rub all parts
with this cloth. Take note of the following:
S Try to avoid touching the components internal to the gas compartments
S Use disposable gloves for cleaning
S Use a spray bottle to prevent contamination of the cleaning agent
S Cleaning cloth must not contain any substances that could dissolve in the
cleaning agent
S Moisten the cloth so that the cleaning agent does not drip or spill
S Remove residues of the cleaning agent with a clean cloth
Painted surfaces are only allowed to be cleaned by means of pure water or soap suds
(0.5%).
Use a non-fluffing cloth for cleaning, moistened with the cleaning agent Wacker Sili-
con-Oilemulsion E 1044. Rub all the silicon shieldings with this cloth. Take note of the
following:
S Cleaning cloth must not contain any substances that could dissolve in the
cleaning agent
S Moisten the cloth so that the cleaning agent does not drip or spill
S Remove residues of the cleaning agent with a clean cloth
If interruptions can not be avoided, open flanges must be covered with a clean plastic
foil. This instruction must also be observed if an insulator is mounted on the flange.
Sealing Surfaces:
S Check sealing surfaces for scratches or similar damages
S Even out any scratches with fine sand paper
S Remove the dust with a vacuum cleaner
S Clean the sealing surfaces
O-Rings:
Do not install any O-rings that show damages or deformation from previous use.
Before closing a flange connection, clean the immediate vicinity and all accessible
parts of the components to be connected with a vacuum cleaner. Do not touch the
active parts and the insulators with the vacuum cleaner’s nozzle.

2.4 Earthing
“Earthing” is defined as the entirety of means and procedures associated with the
earthing of equipment. Earthing means to connect a conductor via an earthing system
to earth.
“Earth” refers to both, the earth as a location and the earth as a substance such as
humus, clay, sand, gravel and rock. The earth is a conductor whose potential outside
the influence of earthing systems is considered to be zero. The “Reference Earth”
(neutral earth) is defined as a part of the earth, especially of its surface, outside the
influence of an earthing system in which between two random points no voltages de-
riving from the earth current can be measured.
“Earth electrode” is a conductor which is embedded in the ground and electrically con-
nected to it, or a conductor embedded in concrete which is in contact with the earth
over a large area (e. g. foundation earth).
“Earthing lead” is defined as an electrical lead laid either outside the earth or insulated
in the earth, that connects a GIS part to be earthed with the earth. If a disconnecting
link, a disconnector or a Petersen coil is installed between a center point or an outer
conductor and the earth, only the connection between earth and the earthing terminal
of such a device is considered as an earthing lead.
Note The earthing of the GIS is to be documented in the site test protocol “commissioning”
1HDG 118 680.
WARNING! The installation of the GIS earthing and the earthing leads shall be strictly in ac-
cordance with the project-specific earthing layout diagrams and the earthing plans
in the project-specific part of this documentation!
Crimping of the terminal ends, branch terminals etc. is carried out at site.
The GIS enclosure must be connected to earth. All metallic parts, that shall be
earthed and do not belong to a main or auxiliary circuit, shall be connected individually
to earth. Frames and supports do not need to be earthed separately if they are welded
or bolted to the GIS enclosure.
2.4.2 Dimensioning
The GIS is dimensioned for a rated short-time withstand current of up to
40 kA / 3 sec.
The material necessary for connecting the GIS to the earthing system of the customer
is delivered together with the equipment.
Earthing:
Solid copper (Cu) 220 mm2 (50 x 5 mm2)* 440 mm2 (40 x 10 mm2)*
Copper rope (Cu) 2 x 120 mm2 (2 x 120 mm2)* 4 x 120 mm2 (4 x 95 mm2)*
* The cross section used by ABB; in brackets the standardized minimum cross sections
according to the IEC.
Potential Earthing:
Use 16 mm2 earthing conductors for potential earthing of the local control cabinets
and all other modules.
The individual GIS bays are interconnected through the busbar enclosures.
Connect the circuit breaker base plate of the outer bays (Figure 2.4-1) each via
1 x 120 mm2 (1 sec) / 2 x 120 mm2 (3 sec) with the building’s earthing grid.
If only one GIS bay is to be installed, attach 2 x 120 mm2 (1 sec) / 4 x 120 mm2
(3 sec) to the circuit breaker base plate (Figure 2.4-1).
The protective conductor bar is connected with the GIS enclosure through 1 x M12
earthing connection bolt and an earthing conductor ( 16 mm2 Cu).
The earthing of power cables terminated on the GIS is project-specific: the cable
jacket earthing (Figure 2.4-2 and Figure 2.4-3) is connected either unilateral or in both
substations interconnected by the power cable (bilateral).
Bilateral Earthing:
Connect on both sides as per Figure 2.4-2, or as per Figure 2.4-3 if ring-type current
transformers are installed.
Unilateral Earthing:
Connect one side as per Figure 2.4-2 and the remote side as per Figure 2.4-4. For
surge protection install shock-proof surge arrestors on the remote side.

For long busduct connections, the GIS enclosure has to be connected with all metal
parts that are being passed in close proximity.
Connect all parts installed outdoors to the external ring earth electrode using the
shortest possible route (Figure 2.4-5). In order to protect the following GIS compo-
nents sufficiently against the intrusion of electromagnetic waves, copper rope of
120 mm2 (1 sec) / 240 mm2 (3 sec) or solid copper must be used for such connec-
tions.

Note The cable mounting length, including the contact pin is 900 11 mm (Figure 2.7-2).
The total height of the cable sealing end is 1155 1 mm (Figure 2.7-1).
Note The corona hat (12) must be mounted by test and operation without mounted cables
(Figure 2.7-1).
The cable sealing end, consisting of the housing (11), base plate (14), corona hat (12)
and pressure resistant transport cover, is delivered pre-mounted (Figure 2.7-1).
The gauge (20) is also included in the scope of supply (Figure 2.7-3).
Note The isolator (1) and cable (15) are not part of scope of supply (Figure 2.7-1).

20 − Gauge
Figure 2.7-3: Installation Aid (gauge without contact piece)
The mounting aid consists of a gauge (20) with contact pieces (9), (Figure 2.7-1),
screwed onto the curved shoulders of the gauge (20), (Figure 2.7-3).
When the gauge is mounted, it shows the orientation of the barrier insulator (10) and
gives the possibility to align the contact connections (6), (Figure 2.7-1).
After alignment of the contact connection (6) the contact piece (9) is removed from the
gauge (20) and attached to the barrier insulator (10), (Figure 2.7-1).
CAUTION The bending moment, vertical to the insulator axis during mounting work and dur-
ing operation, must not exceed 10 000 Nm (1 000 kpm).
CAUTION When mounting the gauge (20) take care not to damage the sealing surfaces
(Figure 2.7-3).
Note The handling of insulator surfaces, O-rings, sealing nuts and sealing surfaces is
described in detail in chapter “Installation” in document 1HDG 518 200 “Installation of the
GIS”.
The possibility to insert the cable and the complete cable sealing end, with suitable
lifting tackle, into the housing or lift onto the installation is dependant on the room
available and the installation position of the cable sealing end.
Prior to beginning the installation, check that all components have been delivered and
that they are undamaged. Damaged parts must be replaced.
The cast-resin insulators (connector sockets) (1) have been fitted at the factory and
need only be removed if they are found to have been damaged (Figure 2.8-1). The
gas compartment of the outgoing isolating switch (4) is therefore unaffected by the
cable installation.

WARNING! In case the cast-resin insulators are damaged, equalize the pressure inside the GIS
with the ambient pressure: release the N2 out of the disconnector gas compart-
ment and evacuated the SF6 out of the sockets. Afterwards dismount and replace
the cast resin insulator (1) (Figure 2.8-1).
For the installation of the HV power cables the required cable sealing ends of plug-
type (2) are delivered to site. The installation of the plugs (2) onto the cable and after-
wards to the cast-resin insulator (1) must be supervised by ABB personnel. All special
instructions of the cable and the sealing end suppliers must be observed.

Cable sealing ends are available in two different configurations (Figure 2.11-1): They
may either be integrated in a single gas compartment with outgoing-feeder disconnec-
tor (configuration 1), or they may be sealed in a separate gas compartment (configur-
ation 2). The cable sealing end insulators (1) as well as the plug-type contacts (7) are
identical in both configurations.
When mounting cable sealing ends contained in separate gas compartments, the
orientation of the bursting disc on the sealing end casing (8) may be varied
(Figure 2.11-3).

The first bay is erected according to the applicable layout drawing. Before mounting
work is started, check the floor surface for levelness and measure the position of wall
and ceiling penetrations. This is necessary for compensation of tolerances on the
whole frame, in order to ensure proper alignment of the installation.
Use the circuit breaker adjusting screws to align the first bay in a way that, when set-
ting up the following bays, the permissible tolerances in floor surface level can be
properly compensated and a perfect coupling of the flanges is ensured. In the case of
installations with direct connection of transformers, the height of the connection points
must be given due consideration. Align the first bay by applying a water level to the
flange surfaces.
The second bay is set up and adjusted in the desigated distance beneath the first bay.
Afterwards, the conductor connections and the flange connections are contacted.
WARNING! These operation has to be done only during voltage-free condition of the bay.

2.25.1 Gas-Density Sensor
The gas-density sensor (Figure 2.25-1) should be installed in the following steps:
1. The sealing surface of the flange coupling and sensor must be clean, remove
foreign bodies if necessary
2. In each case, a new copper gasket must be used − they must not be used a
second time
3. Before insertion, the copper gaskets should be coated on both sides with
OKS VP 980 grease
4. Then insert the gasket and tighten the gas-density sensor to a torque of
70 Nm. The gasket becomes deformed (the wrench size is 27 mm A / F)

mechanism side
The fibres, single cores and buffered fibres should be protected against damage and
moisture during shipping and storage. Cable ends must also be protected against
moisture when transporting or storing. Coils with rolled-up cables must be rolled out
only in the direction indicated by arrows on the coil flanges and transported with hori-
zontal coil axles. Bumps should be avoided.
Maintenance
We recommend that you contact our service department when work involves access
to the interior of the system.
Note Please find our contact address in the product manual in section “Operation Instruction”
in chapter “Gas Insulated Switchgear” in document 1HDG 518 007 “Gas insulated
switchgear 52-170 kV: After-sales service”.
Note Relevant safety and accident-prevention measures should be observed when performing
any kind of work on the unit. Suitable precautions must be taken to protect system
components against contamination through dust, rain or condensed water.
This is described in detail in 1HDG 518 200 “Installation of the GIS”.
Installation
When unwinding fibres and cores from coils or rings, ensure that they are not kinked
or twisted. End caps and, where applicable, corrosion protection at the cable ends
must not be damaged during installation. If damage occurs in spite of the above pre-
cautions, deficiencies should be rectified immediately. During installation, ensure that
the minimum permissible bending radius of the optical waveguide cable is observed.
The minimum permissible bending radius can be obtained from the data sheet and/or
from the following documentation (Figure 2.25-4).
The optical waveguides are sensitive to mechanical loads and cold conditions: Do not
bend, kink, or pull on waveguide. Do not install waveguides at temperatures under
5°C. Particular attention must be paid to positions (8) in Figure 2.25-4. Further in-
formation may be obtained from the corresponding waveguide data sheet.
Do not dirty the optical waveguide plug or allow it to hang freely (protective cap). To
prevent damaging connectors when carrying out installation or disassembly work,
tools such as pliers must not be used.

When pulling through a tube, it may be necessary to secure the transmission wire at
the breakout cable (Figure 2.25-4) and cover the waveguide with adhesive tape.
Taking the disconnector / earthing switch operating mechanism as an example for all
operating mechanisms, the following is a list of installation steps.
1. Insert optical waveguide with corresponding heavy-duty screwed glands and
fitted protective cap (!) into the threaded hole at the operating mechanism
case (do not bend cable and plug)
2. The heavy-duty screwed gland union nut and the strain relief must be loose.
When turning the heavy-duty screwed gland, the waveguide must not be
twisted.
3. Pull or push at the breakout cable jacket until installation length in the operat-
ing mechanism case has been reached.
CAUTION Pull only at the breakout cable jacket (Figure 2.25-4) and never at the waveguide
or plug!
Never use unsuitable tools (e.g. pliers) when installing the ST connector of
the optical waveguide. When pulling through tubes or performing similar op-
erations, it may be necessary to additionally insulate the connectors with wa-
veguide up to the connection point waveguide-jacket of the breakout cable.
4. The optical waveguide is connected to the elbow coupling in the operating
mechanism case. The remaining connection between elbow coupling and
PISA is by means of a waveguide extension.
When exchanging the optical waveguide between the operating mechanism
and control cubicle, the PISA does not have to be opened.
The following note applies only to work involving electronic compo-
nents, e.g. when replacing the waveguide extension (items 6 to 10), or
to the control cubicle.
Note All electronic devices should be protected against electrostatic discharge. To avoid
damage, the prescribed, earthed wrist strap should be worn when working with (handling)
printed-circuit boards. The wrist strap must have a built-in protective resistor. For storage
and shipping of printed-circuit boards, it is essential that the conductive plastic protective
coverings be used.

When exchanging the optical waveguide between the operating mechanism and con-
trol cubicle, the PISA does not have to be opened.
The following note applies only to work involving electronic components, e.g.
when replacing the waveguide extension, or to the control cubicle.
Note All electronic devices should be protected against electrostatic discharge. To avoid
damage, the prescribed, earthed wrist strap should be worn when working with (handling)
printed-circuit boards. The wrist strap must have a built-in protective resistor. For storage
and shipping of printed-circuit boards, it is essential that the conductive plastic protective
coverings be used.
The 24-pin HTS plug can only be released either after complete disassembly of the
waveguide, or else when the copper cable with plug has been relieved of strain (se-
cure to operating mechanism case).
The waveguide on its own should not bear the weight of the copper cable and the
24-pin HTS plug.
If signal transmission is faulty, the switching device cannot be controlled from the con-
trol cubicle.
− Mounting of flanges and seals and gas treatment has to be carried out ac-
cording to specification.

After fitting a new PISA in a circuit-breaker and after all work at the rotary sensor
where the position of the rotary shaft in relation to the gear rack could have been
changed, the spring-travel sensor must be recalibrated.
Several script files - files with command sequences (programs) for the terminal pro-
gram, are used to set up the communication and help the configuration process.
Installation
1. Double-click on the installation file
2. Follow the instructions of the installation software:
a) Specify the target directory:
In particular, PISA uses it to run in setup mode which makes it possible to initialise or
change configuration parameters, to inspect sensors or to carry out test switching.
3.1.3.2.1 Operation
Before calling up a script file, a connection must always be set up beforehand to the
monitor program on the REC580 processing unit.
Following this, a connection can be made to the SiMon (Simple Monitor) of the PISA
which is to be configured.

Now PROCOMM PLUS is started with the file START.BAT in the directory TOOLS.
Note After the hardware component has been switched on (or the reset button has been
pressed), the user has approx. 5 seconds to set up the connection to the PC. After this,
pressing the <SPACE> button no longer has an effect.
Note If the REC580 does not answer with the status message SiMon CRB01 5 >
the baud rate should be set to 9600
(proceed in PROCOMM PLUS: <ALT> <P>, 5, <ALT> <S>).
Now attempt to log on again.
Connection with the REC580 has now been established. In order to communicate with
the PISAs, the bus administrator must be started up.
The actual communication is partly by means of direct text input in the terminal pro-
gram and partly via script files that run within PROCOMM PLUS.

Within a data highway, i.e. from a REC580, communication can be made with every
single PISA with the help of the Device_ID. These addresses are assigned to the
PISAs during the REC580 engineering. In a table supplied with every REC580, it is
possible to find out the Device_ID on the basis of the switching device designation
(Q0, Q1Q51, ..).

Note The letter “f” can be written small or big and does not stand for function key.
If a parameter has several fields and you want to change one of them, then all of the
fields prior to the field you want to change must be entered as well. Fields following
the one you want to change can be omitted.
If this function is ever required because memory location is full, it is called up automat-
ically. But “f4” can also be used to correct memory contents that have been reported
inconsistent (for whatever reason).
Up to 10 new fault messages are displayed. If there are no new fault messages, the

The spring travel sensor has to be recalibrated whenever a new PISA is installed in
the circuit breaker or after works on the rotating sensor that changed the position of
the rotating shaft to the gear rack.
A number of scriptfiles, i. e. files with command sequences (programs) for the terminal
program, establish the communication and control the configuration sequence.
The minimum hardware required for this software is a PC (Notebook) with operating
system MS-Windows 3.1x or Windows-NT.
Installation
1. Double-click on the installation file
2. Follow the instructions of the installation software:
a) Specify the target directory:
In particular, the terminal program operates the PISA in the setup mode. The setup
mode allows setting or changing of configuration parameters, sensor testing and test
switching.
3.2.3.2.1 Operation
Before starting the scriptfiles a connection to the monitor program of the REC580
processing unit must be established.
Afterwards, a connection with the SiMon (Simple Monitor) of the PISA to be confi-
gured can be made.
Figure 3.2-2: Interface Cable between the serial interfaces of the REC580 and the PC
Afterwards, PROCOMM PLUS is started with the file START.BAT out of the directory
that has been defined during installation (default: c:\pisa\tools).
Then, switch on the REC580 (or press the Reset-button on the 500CPU03-board) and
press the <SPACE>-bar on the PC keyboard several times.
Note After switching on the REC580 (respectively after pressing the Reset-button) you have
approximately 5 seconds to establish the connection with the PC. Afterwards, pressing
the<SPACE>-bar will not have any effect.
Note All the following examples refer to a REC580 with 500CRB01 bus. For configuration with
500CRB02 the SIMon-status message CRB01 has to be replaced with CRB02.
The connection with the REC580 is established now. In order to be able to communi-
cate with the PISAs the bus administrator needs to be started.
The actual communication partly consists of direct text input in the terminal program
and partly of scriptfiles that are executed within PROCOMM PLUS.
Starting Scriptfiles
Setting Parameters
Every communication via Procomm Plus may be saved in a text file (Logfile).
All entered and received data is saved in this file. The logfile has to be opened with
the key combination <ALT><F1>. On request a file name including a complete path

Logfiles which are created during commissioning, i.e. during function tests of discon-
nector / earthing switch resp. circuit breaker (1HDG 518 330 “Commissioning of a
SMART-GIS Bay”), have to be filed at the regarding department.
The required work steps are described in detail in the respective operating instructions
of the individual devices.
After checking the connected supply voltage, all mini-circuit breakers of a switching
bay can be switched on in any sequence.
3.3.3 Starting up
In the following, it is assumed that REC580 and PISA were correctly configured.
Under normal operating conditions, a PISA is operated in conjunction with an REC580
bay control unit. All messages and signals are transmitted to REC580 via the process
bus, as are all switching commands from REC580.
In order to guarantee protection command processing, PISA can continue to function
even though process bus communication has been interrupted. This status is referred
to below as “Stand-alone mode” (“3.3.4.2 REC580 failure”).
In normal circumstances, REC580 and all PISAs of a single bay are switched on
simultaneously (“3.3.3.1 Switching on REC580 and PISA simultaneously”). However,
this is not an absolute precondition. The following chapters describe how the system
reacts to various combinations of starting and non-operational devices.
Procedure:
− REC580 system software is initialised
− At the same time, the PISA system software is initiated and attempts to log
itself in
− REC580 waits 5 minutes for all configured process bus devices to log on −
usually the process bus devices are already waiting for log-on acceptance
− PISA logs on and waits for acceptance and synchronisation by REC580
− REC580 starts, accepts process bus devices and transmits synchronisation
data
− PISA starts in “normal operating mode”
Procedure:
− PISA does not transmit an explicit fault signal
− The fault is interpreted by REC580 as a PISA failure and signalled
− PISA continues to operate in “Stand-alone mode”
(“3.3.4.2 REC580 failure”)
3.3.6 Decommissioning
3.3.6.1 Decommissioning a single drive
To decommission a drive for repair purposes, the following automatic circuit-breakers
should be switched off in specified sequence:
Circuit-breakers:
1. F101 (PISA)
2. F107 (Pump motor power supply)
3. F111 (Trip coils power supply)
4. Automatic circuit-breakers of the auxiliary voltage for protection devices
connection
The necessary steps are described in detail in the instruction manuals of the individual
devices:
When the SMART-GIS is delivered this engineering is already concluded. All bay-wide
wiring and configurations have been completed and tested.
Once the supply voltage connections have been verified the micro circuit breakers can
be closed in any sequence.
3.4.3 Start-up
The following is assuming that the REC580 and the PISA have been correctly confi-
gured.
During normal operation the PISA and the bay control unit REC580 are operated to-
gether. All messages and signals are transmitted to the REC580, all commands from
the REC580 are transmitted via the process bus.
In order to guarantee processing of a protection command under any event, the PISA
can operate with interrupted process bus communication. This condition will be re-
ferred to as “Stand-alone” mode (“3.4.4.2 Failure of REC580”).
Normally, the REC580 and all PISAs of a feeder will be switched on simultaneously
(“3.4.3.1 Simultaneous Switching-On of REC580 and PISAs”). This, however, is not
mandatory. The following chapters describe the system behaviour under various com-
binations of starting and non-operational devices.
Sequence:
− Initializing of REC580 system software
− The PISA system software is initialized simultaneously and starts. Signals
will not be transmitted until after time-synchronization from the REC580. Prior
to the first time-synchronization the PISA operates in “stand-alone” mode
without generating any signals.
− The REC580 starts in operational mode and commences time synchroniz-
ation regardless of whether all the configured PISAs already have initialized.
Already initialized PISAs will be tagged “Ready”.
Non-initialized PISAs will be tagged “Not Ready”, and their signals will be
discarded.
− After receiving the first synchronization telegram, each PISA transmits its
initial status to the REC580 and continues in normal operation.
Sequence:
− The PISA will not generate an explicit failure message
− The REC580 interpretes the failure as a failure of the PISA and generates a
respective error message
− The PISA continues to operate in “stand-alone” mode
(“3.4.4.2 Failure of REC580”)
3.4.6 De-Commissioning
3.4.6.1 De-Commissioning a single Operating Mechanism
In order to decommission an operating mechanism for repair the following micro
circuit breakers need to be switched off in the sequence given below:

2. F107 (Pump motor supply)
3. F111 (Trip coil supply)

If the deviation between the pressure gauge reading normed to 20 °C and the sensor
reading of the PISA exceeds 10 kPa, the sensor and the PISA are to be checked for
integrity:
1. Insert an Ammeter into the sensor output circuit and measure the current
2. The ratio between the sensor output current and the SF6-pressure at 20 °C
can be derived from Table 3.5-2 and Table 3.5-3
S If the output current of the sensor correlates with the measured pres-
sure, the sensor is intact, and the PISA input is defective
S If the output current correlates with the pressure reading of the PISA, the
sensor is defective, and the PISA is intact
Note The PISA input can also be tested without a gas density sensor by feeding the
corresponding current from a WIKA-test set. As an alternative, the current can also be
fed from a potentiometer and an ammeter.

Signal Outputs
Port Pins
BO_3 -X.. C1, C2 Earthing Switch CLOSE, used for routine testing only
BO_4 -X.. C3, C4 Earthing Switch OPEN, used for routine testing only
When the disconnector switch is switched into the CLOSE position, the signal contact
for the CLOSE position closes a configurable period of time tleading after the switch
has left its OPEN position.
tleading = 1 ... 10.000 ms
If tleading is set to 0, the CLOSE position is signalled when the limit sensors have
established the CLOSE position of the disconnector switch (default setting).
Configuration:
− PISA-Parameter-ID: 39 contains tleading in ms
− For setting / description, refer to chapter “Commissioning”, document
1HDG 518 310 „Setting up and Configuration of a PISA“
Check whether contact is closed using a continuity test device (DC current, diode
tester).
The signal outputs only block in one distinctive direction, which has to be used for the
continuity check, as well. In the other direction the output always conducts.

WARNING! All works related to SF6 are described in chapter “Gas insulated Switchgear” in
document 1HDG 518 005 “Gas-Handling” and have to be followed strictly!
This document decribes the basic procedures for testing of the GIS at site prior to
commissioning. These procedures are based on the following:
S IEC 517
S IEEE C37.122
S Experience from more than 2500 installed ELK-0 bays
S Technical, commercial and practical aspects of the tests at site prior to
commissioning
In most cases the shipping units delivered to site consist of complete bays or large
assemblies. These shipping units are subject to a complete factory test prior to
delivery.
The sequence of tests described in the following subclauses represents our standard
sequence. For special conditions prevailing at site or practical reason this sequence
may be modified by agreement between manufacturer and user.
Note The amount of filled SF6 and the amount of the remaining rest of SF6 has to be
documented in the site test protocol “Commissioning” 1HDG 118 680 in section
SF6 Inventory.
Note All documents required for the tests prior to commissioning are listed in the site test
protocol “Commissioning” 1HDG 118 680.
Note Suitable test devices that are not listed above may be used alternatively.
The measurement of the voltage drop is performed on two different locations with
100 A supplied from a suitable battery or DC supply source. Both test locations are
connected to the test device. The actual measurement is effective on the connecting
lead (not on the connection to the measuring location).
RU
I in which: R = resistance
U = voltage drop
I = current
Note The default values are specified in chapter “3.6.10 Default Values for Measurement of
Voltage Drop”.
The test is to establish the correct contact making of the gas density relay / sensor at
a given pressure. The pressure measured at contact making and the actual ambient
temperature are compared with the default value. The default value can be obtained
from the site test protocol “Commissioning” 1HDG 118 680 by correlating the contact
characteristics with the ambient temperature measured at the time of the test.
Note The test of the gas density relays / sensors is to be documented in the site test protocol
“Commissioning” 1HDG 118 680 in section “Gas Density Relay” resp. “Gas Density
Sensor”.
The dew point measurement is performed once the gas compartments have been
filled and pressurized with SF6. In order to allow an equalization between the residual
moisture of the GIS enclosure material and the dry SF6 filling, this measurement
should not be carried out immediately after the filling. The permissible values and the
procedures associated with the dew point measurement are listed in chapter “Gas
Insulated Switchgear” in document “Gashandling” 1HDG 518 005.
Note The dew point measurement prior to commissioning is to be documented in the site test
protocol “Commissioning” 1HDG 118 680.
− Earthing
− Voltage Transformer
− Current Transformer
− Surge Arrester
− Amount of filled SF6
Note The amount of filled SF6 and the amount of the remaining rest of SF6 have to be
documented in the site test protocol “Commissioning” 1HDG 118 680 in section
SF6 Inventory.
CAUTION The circuit breaker shall only be operated if it is filled with SF6 at minimum operat-
ing pressure (min. 600 kPa) at least!
The measuring points shall be as close as possible to the cast-in contacts of the insu-
lators for all measurements.

Using a 4pole jumper field J3 and J4, the input impedance can be preselected in 2
rough steps of 4.7 MΩ (see component mounting diagram).
This jumper field and the potentiometer P1 are used to set the value of the input impe-
dance between 1 MΩ and 11 MΩ. This adjustment is necessary in order to set a refer-

WARNING! All works related to SF6 are described in chapter “Gas insulated Switchgear” in
document 1HDG 518 005 “Gas-Handling” and have to be followed strictly!
Prior to commissioning the GIS is subject to a high voltage test. The test is performed
with an AC voltage and a test transformer of suitable size (Table 3.8-1 and
Table 3.8-2).
As an alternative, both, the GIS and the power cables, can be tested with a resonance
test set with variable frequency.
The aim of this test is to detect any dielectric irregularities. Such irregularities can
have their origin in transport damages, foreign bodies etc.
This test of one minute duration has been proven over many years of practical ap-
plication. The subsequent successful energizations of the tested GIS shows that this
test guarantees a safe and reliable operation of the GIS.
The high voltage test of the GIS is usually performed before the installation of the
power cables. In case the power cables have already been installed prior to the high
voltage test, they have to be disconnected for the duration of the test. The cables can
be disconnected from the GIS by opening the disconnector.
Once the power cables have been installed and connected to the GIS, they are high
voltage tested; usually this test is performed by the cable manufacturer.
Note All pressures of the GIS and the recalculation to the ambient temperatures are described
in detail in chapter “Gas Insulated Switchgear” in document 1HDG 518 004 “Gas
Pressures”.
Note The high voltage commissioning test is to be documented in the site test protocol
“Commissioning” 1HDG 118 680. It must be performed in the following sequence:
1. Calculate the maximum number of GIS bays that can be simultaneously tested
using the values given in Table 3.8-1
2. Raise the test voltage at approximately 1 kV / s up to the test voltage listed in
Table 3.8-1 and apply for one minute
3. Lower the test voltage at approximately 1 kV / s to zero
Table 3.8-1: Test voltages
w 2·p·f
1000
f = frequency [Hz]
Cges = sum of all the modules’ capacitances incl. insulators [nF]
The test burden is determined as an equation in units with:
f = 50 Hz: Q [VA] = U2 [kV] x 0,31 x Cges [nF]
f = 60 Hz: Q [VA] = U2 [kV] x 0,38 x Cges [nF]
Note If the test is performed with a resonance test set with variable frequency, the selected
frequency of the resonance test set has to be used in the equation above.
The capacitance C is determined by adding the individual capacitances of all the GIS
modules for the arrangement to be tested. The result obtained is the capacitance load
per phase with the other two phases being earthed through their connection to the
GIS enclosure.

The phase to be tested can be selected on the test adapter, while the other two
phases are earthed.
If the switchgear is equipped with SF6 air-bushings, then feeding is possible via these
bushings. The test voltage will be controlled by the control unit. Phases can be
earthed via test adapter.

As an alternative, the cable test can also be performed using AC voltage. For special
circumstances it is possible to apply voltage directly by the test transformator, depend-
ing on capacity of the cables. But in this case the use of an resonance testing unit is
recommended.

The test voltage for plastic-insulated cables should be 3*U0 for 15 minutes according
to DIN VDE 0263 and IEC publication 840.
In special cases, a resonance vibration circuit can be formed using the series swit-
ching of the cable to be tested and additional induction coils; this circuit is fed by
means of a special testing device/unit. Please consult the cable terminal box manu-
facturer about the procedure before carrying out a test of this nature.

The cable test can be carried out as with conventional compact terminal boxes (as
shown in Figure 3.8-22).
Another possibility for the test is to test the cable separately from the GIS units,
as long as there is a connecting terminal box on both sides
To do so, a special test adapter, which can be ordered from the terminal box supplier,
is required.
1 − Test cable
2 − Testing adapter
Alternatively, the cables can be tested prior to “plugging in” using a special test adap-
ter fitted directly to the switchgear; this test adapter (1, Figure 3.8-25) can be ordered
from the cable terminal box manufacturer.
WARNING! All works related to SF6 are described in chapter “Gas insulated Switchgear” in
document 1HDG 518 005 “Gas-Handling” and have to be followed strictly!
Prior to commissioning the GIS is subject to a high voltage test. The test is performed
with an AC voltage and a test transformer of suitable size (Table 3.9-1 and
Table 3.9-2).
As an alternative, both, the GIS and the power cables, can be tested with a resonance
test set with variable frequency.
The aim of this test is to detect any dielectric irregularities. Such irregularities can
have their origin in transport damages, foreign bodies etc.
This test of one minute duration has been proven over many years of practical ap-
plication. The subsequent successful energizations of the tested GIS shows that this
test guarantees a safe and reliable operation of the GIS.
The high voltage test of the GIS is usually performed before the installation of the
power cables. In case the power cables have already been installed prior to the high
voltage test, they have to be disconnected for the duration of the test. The cables can
be disconnected from the GIS by opening the disconnector.
Once the power cables have been installed and connected to the GIS, they are high
voltage tested; usually this test is performed by the cable manufacturer.
Note All pressures of the GIS and the recalculation to the ambient temperatures are described
in detail in chapter “Gas Insulated Switchgear” in document 1HDG 518 004 “Gas
Pressures”.
Note The high voltage commissioning test is to be documented in the site test protocol
“Commissioning” 1HDG 118 680. It must be performed in the following sequence:
1. Calculate the maximum number of GIS bays that can be simultaneously tested
using the values given in Table 3.9-1
2. Raise the test voltage at approximately 1 kV / s up to the test voltage listed in
Table 3.9-1 and apply for one minute
3. Lower the test voltage at approximately 1 kV / s to zero
Table 3.9-1: Test voltages
w 2·p·f
1000
f = frequency [Hz]
Cges = sum of all the modules’ capacitances incl. insulators [nF]
The test burden is determined as an equation in units with:
f = 50 Hz: Q [VA] = U2 [kV] x 0,31 x Cges [nF]
f = 60 Hz: Q [VA] = U2 [kV] x 0,38 x Cges [nF]
Note If the test is performed with a resonance test set with variable frequency, the selected
frequency of the resonance test set has to be used in the equation above.
The capacitance C is determined by adding the individual capacitances of all the GIS
modules for the arrangement to be tested. The result obtained is the capacitance load
per phase with the other two phases being earthed through their connection to the
GIS enclosure.

For a flexible mounting of the test adapter it is possible after loosening the flange
securing bolts (2) to rotate the housing (1) of the test adapter through 360° in steps of
15° variable (Figure 3.9-4). During rotation, the lower housing with the three earhing
connections stays in position.

mounting the test adapter to an available barrier / support insulator
(Figure 3.9-8)
The test bushing can be mounted to the test adapter either directly at the lateral
flange or by mounting with the enclosed angle element.
This angle element allows the rotation of the test bushing each with 30 degrees over
the bolt circle of the angle (in the axis X, which is vertical to the main axis of the test
bushing), so that respective distances of hv-conducting parts to earth can be provided
and disadvantageous designs can be equalized (Figure 3.9-4).
Additionally, the test adapter is rotatable in its main axis in steps of 15 degrees. If ro-
tating this axis the view ports for viewing the correct fitting of the main contact and the
correct earthing of the other phases will be positioned not more over the respective
phases (see Figure 3.9-4 and description underneath of Figure 3.9-3).

WARNING! If the voltage transformer position is direction cable (Figure 3.9-13) and the power
cables are mounted it is impossible to test the GIS without testing the cables.
Only a separate test of cables with DC- and AC-voltage (“3.9.5 High Voltage Test
of Cables at the Bay”) by opening the outgoing feeder is possible.
For testing on a barrier / support insulator the enclosed contact pieces (P10) with bolts
(M12x45) and the enclosed adapting pipe (P11) with o-ring (P12) (delivery pack no. 6.
and 7.) have to be mounted and the contacts (P13) have to be attached.
The three contact pieces (P10) have to be mounted on the barrier insulator of the test
adapter with bolts M12x45. Afterwards, the test adapter can be screwed on the adapt-
ing pipe and on the inner contacts.
For the test the adapting pipe has to be evacuated (0.1 kPa) via the DILO gas fittings
NW 8 and filled with SF6 with 500 kPa.
Note If a EHSVS cable sealing end is mounted, the isolator of the sealing end may be included
in the test arrangement (“3.9.4.5 GIS with Compact Cable Sealing End type EHSVS”).

Electrical Indication
The gas density to be supervised in the gas compartment (5) is continuously com-
pared with the gas density of an identical gas in the reference volume (4)
(Figure 4.1-1). Since the gas in both volumes has the same temperature, the densities
can be compared through a comparison of the pressures.
The differential pressure between the two gas volumes (4) and (5) moves the metal
bellows (6). This movement is transferred through the operating rod (3) to the micro
switch (2). The micro switch (2) is electrically connected with the plug terminals (7).
The plug terminals (7) are coded and cannot be swapped. They can be mounted and
dismounted without tools.
Visual Indication
The measured gas density is also indicated visually. In addition to the micro switches
(2), the operating rod (3) also operates the indicator mechanism (1). The indicator has
a simple colour coding:
Green = OK , Red = Gas Density too low
Note The pressure in the gas compartment depends on the ambient temperature. This is why
the gas density is being supervised and indicated instead of the gas pressure. An
indication scaled in kPa would not make sense, because of its temperature dependence.
In the interest of easy indicator reading, the gas density relay has a colour-coded
indication.
Note All pressures of the GIS and the recalculation to the ambient temperatures are described
in detail in chapter “Gas Insulated Switchgear” in document 1HDG 518 004 “Filling
Pressures”.

Density monitors
Gas density monitors with local readout and alarm contacts combine the
“readout” and “switching” function.
The contacts (alarm contact) is adjusted individually to the pressure (alarm pressure).
The case of the gas density switch is hermetically sealed, opening is not allowed.
Changes in pressure cause a change in the specific resistance of the measuring ele-
ment (piezo-resistive effect). The electronic analyzer of the gas-density sensor uses
this value and the measured temperature to calculate the current density of the gas.
Electric Indication
The gas-density sensor triggers an error message if the gas density drops below a
predefined threshold. The values for warning and disabling are software-set and can-
not be changed.
The sensor generates an output signal in the range of 4...20 mA; this signal is propor-
tional to gas density and is carried by a shielded two-conductor cable which also
works as the feed cable of the sensor internal electronics.
Due to the long-Term stability of the gas-density sensor no recalibration of the null sig-
nal and maintenance are neccessary.

The Arc sensor interface (ASI) is the interface between the sensor of the arc detecting
device and the gas compartments of the GIS.
The ASI constists of a glass pane (1) which is pressed between two gaskets (2) by
flange (3) (Figure 4.4-1).
The flange (3) is provided with a thread (4) for fixing the sensor and a guide tube (5)
to hold the optical waveguide of the sensor (Figure 4.4-1).
As long as the sensor of the optical waveguide isn’t screwed into the ASI, a cover cap
(6) protects the thread and the guide tube of dirt and damage (Figure 4.4-1).
The ASI can be mounted − depending on bay layout and available space − onto vary-
ing places of the housings of the gas compartments.

The circuit breaker (Figure 4.5-1) is provided with two, three, or four identical coupling
flanges which permit direct connection of other modules. Extremely compact and cost-
effective configurations can be produced by making effective use of this feature in de-
termining the switchgear layout.
The circuit breaker operating mechanism is designed as a separate unit and can
therefore be easily dismounted for overhaul purposes. No adjustments are necessary
after remounting.

CLOSING operation
During the closing operation, the circuit breaker operating mechanism causes the op-
erating rod (17) and, as a consequence, the moving parts of the interrupting chamber,
such as the insulating nozzle (13), the auxiliary nozzle (14), and the blast cylinder (16)
to move in the direction of the fixed contact. Contact is first established through pre-
arcing between the arcing contacts (12) and (18), which subsequently enables the
main contacts to engage at almost zero current.
OPENING operation
Opening is effected by withdrawing the moving contact in the opposite direction. In
this process, the main contacts are separated prior to the disengagement of the arcing
contacts, resulting in the commutation of the current to the arcing contacts
The energy of the arc causes a pressure increase in the heat chamber “V1”. During
the separation of the arcing contacts, a radial gas blast is released through the auxili-
ary and insulating nozzles, cooling down the arc and finally extinguishing it at current
zero.

Figure 4.7-3: Operating diagram for circuit breaker with 3pole operating mechanism
The technical concept of the circuit breaker operating mechanism achieves a compact
design by combining the mechanical energy storage in disc springs and the hydraulic
operating and control principles.
The force of the disc spring assembly acts on a storage piston. On the storage piston,
the mechanical energy values spring force and spring travel are converted to the hy-
draulic energy values pressure and volume. The hydraulic power transmission (oil col-
umn) between the high-pressure store and the operating cylinders serves as a
quickly switching changeover variator for the CLOSE- and OPEN-operation and be-
sides it enables a simple setting of the switching speeds by means of the throttle
screws.
The operating mechanism control and the energy transmission are based on the
field-proven structural elements of the hydraulic operating technology such as the
high-pressure hydraulic pump, storage piston, changeover valves as well as an oper-
ating piston with an integrated hydraulic end position damping.
4.8.2 Commissioning
The commissioning protocols of the circuit-breaker concerning the operating mechan-
ism shall be observed. Prior to the commissioning, visual checks according to the
commissioning protocols shall be performed.
The collector and the carbon brushes shall be checked after approx. 8 years. The
carbon brushes are wear parts to replace when their length has diminished below
11 mm (Figure 4.8-1).

The operating speeds for the CLOSE- and OPEN-operation can be adjusted indepen-
dently of each other with the throttle screws available on the operating mechanism.
The operating speeds may only be adjusted when the disc spring assembly is
untensioned. For this release the pressure release screw and untension the disc
spring assembly slowly by lowering the system pressure.
Loosen the locknut (2) of the throttle screw (1) and adjust the operating speed by turn-
ing the throttle screw (Figure 4.8-2). The operating speed diminishes when the throttle
screw (1) is turned right and increases when it is turned left.

4.9.1 Commissioning
The commissioning protocols of the circuit-breaker concerning the operating mechan-
ism shall be observed. Prior to the commissioning, visual checks according to the
commissioning protocols shall be performed.
All adjustments are already factory-made and -fixed. Readjustments can be therefore
left out during the commissioning. At the commissioning, the disc spring assembly of
the operating mechanism shall be tensioned and the operating mechanism coupled
with the circuit-breaker shall be manually switched on and off several times. The
monitoring functions of the spring travel switch and the auxiliary switch shall be
checked.
Prior to switching on the pump motor, the changeover valve shall be switched to the
OPEN position. For this press the rubber cap of the OPEN-solenoid with your thumb.
Thereby it is prevented that the changeover valve stands in an intermediate position
while the operating mechanism is unpressurized and the disc spring assembly cannot
be tensioned (pressure cannot be built up).
Functional tests shall be performed after the completion of the commissioning work
and immediately before the start of the regular operation and after maintenance work
as well. Functional tests may only be performed when the circuit-breaker is discon-
nected from the high voltage system, there is at least blocking pressure in the
SF6-room and the disc springs are tensioned.
CAUTION In this case the electrical interlocks are cancelled. The warning and danger
instructions given in part 1 in chapter 1 “Operating Instructions” in document
1HDG 518 020 “Safety Instructions” shall be imperatively observed.

The above cross sections represent the switching status disconnector open / earthing
switch open.
The conductors (4) are designed and mounted to the gas-tight barrier insulator (5) −
or support insulator (6) − such a way as to ensure that the axes of rotation of the mov-
able switching contacts form one continuous line (Figure 4.12-2).
The fixed contacts for the earthing switch (1) and the disconnector (2) are mounted on
opposite sides of the moving contact.
The operating mechanism mounted to the outside of the enclosure serves to move the
movable switching contacts (3) to the selected position by means of the insulating
shafts (7).
This basic construction can be modified through various conductor and housing de-
signs for use in
− Busbars with integrated disconnector/earthing switch
− Cable sealing ends with integrated disconnector/earthing switch
− Coupling elements with integrated disconnector/earthing switch
Disconnector/earthing switches for cable sealing ends can be provided with contacts
on both sides of the contact gap for connecting voltage transformers. These contacts
may also be used for connecting voltage test equipment.

The operating mechanism is driven by an electric motor (3) with provision made for
emergency manual operation (Figure 4.12-7).
The motor power is transmitted by a connecting rod with cardan joints to a bevel-gear
unit, from where the rotary motion is passed on to the movable switching contacts
through overrunning clutch.

1 − Drive shaft
2 − Overrunning clutch
The bevel-gear unit with integrated overrunning clutch (2) is arranged between the
drive shaft of the gear unit (7), (Figure 4.12-7) and the drive shaft (1) of the movable
switching contacts (Figure 4.12-8 and Figure 4.12-9). The overrunning clutch locks the
movable switching contacts in the end positions
− Disconnector closed
− Disconnector open / earthing switch open
− Earthing switch closed
The reduction gear assembly (6) (Figure 4.12-7) is provided with a controllable free-
wheeling mechanism effective in both directions, which decouples the operating
mechanism from the movable switching contacts after they have been locked in one
of the end positions.
When the switch position disconnector open/earthing switch open is reached subse-
quent to disconnector operation, the freewheeling mechanism is triggered by the inter-
locking magnet (5) of the earthing switch. When the same position is reached follow-
ing operation of the earthing switch, the freewheeling mechanism is triggered by the
interlocking magnet (1) of the disconnector (Figure 4.12-7).
The power supply to the motor is cut off by the limit switch (8) (Figure 4.12-7).
In the case of emergency manual operation the motor circuit is interrupted by the limit

The alarm switches and the switch-position indicator are actuated through a mechan-
ical connection to the gear unit.
All electrical connections are brought out to a plug arrangement (2) separately coded
for the disconnector and the earthing switch (Figure 4.12-7).

When the slide bar (7) is moved to the left “disconnector” or to the right “earthing
switch” in the presence of the control voltage, the limit switch (1 or 2) closes a test
circuit.
If the interlocking conditions are not satisfied and, therefore, switch operation is not
permissible, the interlocking magnet (3 or 7), respectively, remains de-energized and
prevents any further movement of the slide bar (6).
If the interlocking conditions are satisfied and therefore switch operation is permiss-
ible, the relevant interlocking magnet is energized and the slide bar (6) clears the
crank opening.
The crank handle can now be inserted into the entry hole. Insertion of the crank
handle causes the motor circuit to be interrupted by limit switches.

The conductors (4) are fixed at the barrier insulator (5) (alternatively at a support insu-
lator) in such a way that the operating rod for the movable switching contacts (3) is
aligned.
The fixed contacts for the earthing switch (1) respectively the disconnector (2) are lo-
cated opposite to the corresponding position of the movable switching contact
(Figure 4.13-2).
The operating mechanism (Figure 4.13-5) is mounted outside the gas compartment
and operates the movable switching contacts ((3), Figure 4.13-2) via the insulating
rods, see Figure 4.13-3.
Insulating rod
In combination with the various available conductor and enclosure arrangements this
layout can be used to realize the following function modules:
− Busbar with integrated disconnector / earthing switch, as shown in
Figure 4.13-2
− Cable termination with integrated disconnector / earthing switch,
Figure 4.13-4
− Connection piece with integrated disconnector / earthing switch
The cable termination with integrated disconnector / earthing switch allows contacting
of the voltage transformer on either side of the disconnector. Figure 4.13-4 shows the
situation that the voltage transformer is connected to the circuit breaker side. The HV
test set can be connected to the same contacts, as well.

Disconnector
The combined disconnector / earthing switch has two drive motors (10), one for the
disconnector and one for the earthing switch. For manual emergency operation a
handcrank can be attached to the rod (2) that operates the threaded spindle (7).
The cam disk (5) is located between the threaded spindle (7) and the drive rod (8) of
the contact blades and is actuated by a carrier (9). The cam disk (5) locks the device
in the following end positions:
− Disconnector closed
− Disconnector open / Earthing switch open (neutral position)
− Earthing switch closed
The cam disk (5) has the following functions (Figure 4.13-5):
− Torque-free start-up of the operating mechanism
− End position locking
− End positioning
When the device is manually operated, the interlocking switch (1) automatically dis-
connects the motor circuit.
The auxiliary contacts (4) and the position indicator (3) are linked to the operating
rod (8).
All electrical connections are separated for the disconnector and the earthing switch
and are connected with coded plug connections (6).
Note For manual operation all interlocking conditions (“4.13.2.2 Locking”) have to be fulfilled.
The device has to be unlocked.
In emergencies the disconnector and the earthing switch can be operated locally di-
rectly on the device by means of a handcrank. As soon as the handcrank is inserted,
the motor circuit is automatically interrupted.
For manual operation of the disconnector / earthing switch the front cover has to be
removed from the operating mechanism (Figure 4.13-7). The front cover is secured
with 4 screws M6 (4 Nm).

Figure 4.14-2: Main contacts of the combined disconnector and earthing switch
The above cross sections represent the switching status disconnector open / earthing
switch open.
The conductors (4) are designed and mounted to the gas-tight barrier insulator (5) −
or support insulator (6) − such a way as to ensure that the axes of rotation of the
switch blades form one continuous line (Figure 4.14-2).
The fixed contacts for the earthing switch (1) and the disconnector (2) are mounted on
opposite sides of the moving contact.
The operating mechanism mounted to the outside of the enclosure serves to move the
switch blades (3) to the selected position by means of the insulating shafts (7).
This basic construction can be modified through various conductor and housing de-
signs for use in
− Busbars with integrated disconnector/earthing switch
− Cable sealing ends with integrated disconnector/earthing switch
− Coupling elements with integrated disconnector/earthing switch
Disconnector/earthing switches for cable sealing ends can be provided with contacts
on both sides of the contact gap for connecting voltage transformers. These contacts
may also be used for connecting voltage test equipment.

The operating mechanism is driven by an electric motor (3) with provision made for
emergency manual operation (Figure 4.14-5).
The motor power is transmitted by a connecting rod with cardan joints to a bevel-gear
unit, from where the rotary motion is passed on to the contact blades through geneva
gearing.

The bevel-gear unit with integrated geneva gearing (2) is arranged between the drive

(Figure 4.14-6). The geneva gearing locks the switch blades in the end positions
− Disconnector closed

The reduction gear assembly (6) (Figure 4.14-5) is provided with a controllable free-
wheeling mechanism effective in both directions, which decouples the operating
mechanism from the switch blades after they have been locked in one of the end posi-
tions.
When the switch position disconnector open/earthing switch open is reached subse-
quent to disconnector operation, the freewheeling mechanism is triggered by the inter-
locking magnet (5) of the earthing switch. When the same position is reached follow-
ing operation of the earthing switch, the freewheeling mechanism is triggered by the
interlocking magnet (1) of the disconnector (Figure 4.14-5).
The power supply to the motor is cut off by the proximity switch (8) (Figure 4.14-5).
In the case of emergency manual operation the motor circuit is interrupted by the pro-
ximity switch (9) (Figure 4.14-5).
The alarm switches and the switch-position indicator are actuated through a mechan-
ical connection to the gear unit.
All electrical connections are brought out to a plug arrangement (2) separately coded

The earthing switch may be disconnected from the main earthing system for the pur-
poses of testing the protective relay and measuring the voltage drop of the main cur-
rent path. Therefore, an insulating connection is provided between the contact tubes
(14) and the operating mechanism arranged in the center of the unit (Figure 4.16-1).
For proper switch operation, the conductors (12a and 12b) must be correctly mounted
to ensure that the contact tubes (14) are connected to earth through the contact lami-
nation. Adequate control of circuit conditions that may occur when parallel overhead
lines are de-earthed is achieved through an appropriate contact system.
The earthing switch is equipped with a snap-action spring mechanism which is actu-
ated by an electric motor. An intermediate shaft (3) in the gear assembly (8) allows for
emergency manual operation.
Drive lever (5) is rotated by motor (2) through the interposed reduction gear assem-
bly (8). As a result, connecting rod (7) rotates the actuator lever (15), thereby com-
pressing the closing springs (1). As soon as the springs have passed their dead-
center position, a torque is produced which acts upon the actuator lever (15) and,
consequently, effects the actual closing operation.
This independent action of the contact system and the spring mechanism is made
possible by the slot provided in connecting rod (7). The end positions are determined
by internal stops.
The operating mechanism is decoupled from the gear assembly by means of a free-
wheeling mechanism which is effective in both directions.
The alarm switches and the switch-position indicator are actuated through a mechan-
ical connection (10) to the actuator lever (11). The motor current is cut off by the limit
switch (6). In the case of emergency manual operation the motor circuit is interrupted

Each breaker pole can be disconnected from installation earth for purposes of setting
and testing the protective relay and measuring the voltage drop in the main circuit. For
this reason, each of the three contact pipes (12) are connected to the operating-mech-
anism system in insulated form.
During operation, the connectors (15) must be installed to ensure correct operation
and in such a way that the contact tubes (12) are connected to earth via contact lami-
nations. Using a suitable contact system it is possible to control both switching drops,
which can occur during de-earthing due to the induction of parallel overhead systems,
and making on a short circuit.
The operating-mechanism motor (2) turns the operating-mechanism lever (5) via the
step-down gear (8). As a result of this, the connecting rod (7) turns the switch lever
(13) and increases tension in the closing springs (1). If the closing springs exceed the
dead-center position, a torque is applied to the switch lever (13), as a result of which
switching must take place.
After the dead-center position has been exceeded, the elongated hole in the connect-
ing rod (7) allows independent movement of the contact system and lift. The final posi-
tions are established through limit stops located on the inside.
The operating mechanism is separated from the gear through controllable free-wheel-
ing mechanism, which has an effect in both directions.
The pilot switch (14) and switching-position indicator (16) are driven from the switch
lever (13) via a keyed connection (10). The motor current is switched off by the limit
switch (6). In the case of manual emergency operation, the motor circuit is interrupted
by the limit switch (4). All electrical connections are via by two coded connectors (9).

Each pole of the earthing switch with short circuit making capacity is fitted, as stan-
dard, with a combined crank handle / final-position interlock.
If, in the case of an applied control voltage, the slide valve (7) is pushed to the left, the
limit switch (1) actuates a testing circuit. If release conditions are not met, i.e. swit-
ching is not possible, the locking magnet (2) remains in a zero position and the slide
valve (7) can not be pushed any further to the left.
If, however, the release conditions are met, i.e. switching operations are permitted, the
locking magnet (2) is turned on and the slide valve (7) releases the connecting hole
(6) of the crank handle.
The crank handle can now be inserted into the entry hole. Insertion of the crank
handle causes the motor circuit to be interrupted by limit switches (3).

By pressing in the pin − or in the form of a special version of the cylinder lock (1) − the
operating lever (4) is moved from the unlocked to the locked position in such a way
that the operating lever (4) mechanically blocks the square element (5) and, in turn,

Measurement of the voltage is based on the Pockels effect (changing of the polariz-
ation state of light during existance of an electrical field).

Attenuation of the optical signals conditional on the length of the beam waveguide
fibres has no influence on the measuring result, since the signals are amplified and
standardized in the electronics.
The axially adjacent field is modulated via the Pockels effect (double refraction). The
light is sent back via a prism at the crystal end of the high-voltage face. The light is
divided via a ray divider at the crystal end on the earth face.
The first half reaches thepolarizer directly via a 90° prism, the other half is shifted by
means of a l/4-plate by an additional 90° in phase before reaching the polarizer. Fur-
thermore, the two light rays are beamed via collimators.

Instead of a capacitor element, the bushing includes a control electrode (7) for field
relief of the bottom flange (8). Therefore no measuring adapter is assigned.
The cable connector (1) can be round or flat and is made of aluminum or copper, de-
pending on the requirements.
The tracking paths are dimensioned for contamination level II (medium = 20 mm / kV).
On account of the hydrophobic (water-repellent) properties and the very short recov-
ery time of the silicon (5) after flashovers, the bushing can also be used for contami-
nation level III applications (severe = 25 mm / kV).
The bottom flange (8) features two M12 tapped holes which accommodate eyebolts
for lifting the bushing. Another eyebolt can be installed in the bore for the cable con-
nector, if necessary.

4.33.1 PISA

PISA is a decentralised, digital control unit for high voltage switching devices and is
used for controlling and monitoring high-voltage switchgear. The PISA electronic sys-
tem is fitted “close to the process” in the drive boxes of the switching devices and is
connected to the bay control device REC580 and external protective gear.
The use of PISA simplifies the wiring system and, through connecting up state-of-the-
art sensor technology, new functions are made possible which were not available in
previous conventional designs (with contactors) (cf Table 4.33-1, Page 4.33-3). Fur-
thermore, plant extension becomes easier and more flexible.
At the same time using the control functions, the PISAs directly record various
measured variables and thus automatically provide the evaluation basis for a status-
oriented maintenance plan.

The PISA voltage supply is via the 24-pin plug at the drive.
When decommissioning, the plug at the drive should be unscrewed or the appropriate
automatic circuit-breaker in the control cubicle should be switched off. The following
designation for automatic devices is standard:
1. Automatic F101 for PISA circuit-breaker
2. Automatic F102 for all disconnector / earthing switches and earthing
switches with short circuit making capacity
Every PISA has 7 plug connections that are located under the protective screen (1)
(Figure 4.33-1). The plug assignment is illustrated on the circuit diagrams.
Overview
Input card
The connections of all sensors and switches are made on the input card. Here, posi-
tion messages, circuit-breaker spring retraction, gas density, protective commands
and mechanical interlocks of switching devices are detected.
The processor card (CPU card) contains the central processor and storage elements.
All signals are processed here and are provided with a time indicator. The monitoring
of the load circuits and the temperature check of the semiconductor switches is car-
ried out here.
The external memory module contains a rewriteable memory chip for permanent se-
curity (Figure 1, item 3) and for storing drive-related data. When the PISA is being re-
placed, the external memory module must be placed inside the new device so that the
stored information is still available.
Output card
The output card controls the motors, interlock deactivation magnets and trip coils. All
of the power circuits are galvanically decoupled from the input side by means of op-
tical couplers. A total of 6 (individually controllable) IGBTs are available as power tran-
sistors. IGBT= Insolated Gate Bipolar Transistor. Beside the power semiconductors
for controlling the actuators, there are four configurable binary outputs for the conven-
tional control of protective gear.

The visualisation and evaluation software can be run on Windows NT under Micro-
SCADA so that a separate monitoring computer is not absolutely necessary. At the
same time this creates the option of calling up further data (currents, voltages) which
already exist in the substation control and protection system and correlating them with
the PISA measured values. A modem interface offers the option of a remote inquiry
from a higher-ranking workplace for maintenance planning.

The measuring system consists of two similarly shaped ferrite shells, mounted so that
they can rotate freely. A measuring p.c.b. with an integrated exciting coil is located
between the two shells.
The structure of the system makes error voltage measurement possible, depending
on the angle of rotation. Compensating for possible interference factors (e.g. tempera-
ture, electro-magnetic fields), guarantees signal generation without interference.
The mixed-mode ASIC implements the functions for measurement-signal analysis and
signal processing. ASIC stands for “user-specific integrated switching circuit”.
The interface board is the driver stage for various types of output signal. The signal-

The high voltage detection system (HVDS) is able to recognize the service voltage on
the conductors via a capacitive voltage detection.
Voltage detection systems are normally used in bays which are not equipped with a
voltage transformer. The main application is to observe the voltage-free state of a high
voltage cable bevor closing the earthing switch with short circuit making capacity. Due
to this reason the measuring point is placed close to the conductors of the cable sea-
ling end.
WARNING! The HVDS is not suitable for assuring the voltage-free state acc. to the require-
ments for protection of persons. Hence, during all work on the GIS the safety rules
have to be followed strictly (1HDG 518 020)!
The voltages of all three phases are measured separately via a capacitive voltage
detection and are transferred to the analyzing electronic. The analyzing electronic is
placed in the local control cubicle and shows the voltage-free state by relay contacts .
For additional information in the analyzing electronic a dispay in the front panel is pro-
vided.
The requirements for voltage indication acc. to IEC 61243-5 are fulfilled.
This description applies only for HVDS with voltage detection on the cable sealing
end. For systems with other measurement points separated descriptions are given.

The measurement of voltage is done by an electrode in the cable sealing end. A surge

Acc. to IEC 61243-5 the voltage evaluation for voltages below 0.1 x Ur shall not react
but for voltages > 0.45 x Ur has to be activ. This means that in the range of 0.1 x Ur ≤
U ≤ 0.45 x Ur an evaluation is possible but not necessary.
The trim capacitance CA is calculated project-specific from ABB to comply with the
required limit values.

The evaluating processor unit is equipped with two potential-free relay contacts
which are designed as closing contact. Relay contact 1 (“Ready”) is closed if all
three phases show the same status. Relay contact 2 (“Voltage free”) is closed if all
three phases are voltage-free.
For feeding the relays a supply energy is required. In case the supply energy is
dropped both relays pass into the opened basic status
(relay 1: “Fault”, relay 2: “Voltage present”).
Furthermore the evaluating processor unit is equipped with a three-phase LCD dis-
play. As symbol for measured voltage a lightning arrow was chosen.

For supplying the display the energy of sensor signals is sufficient. Hence, anytime at
a drop out of the auxiliary energy a standardized indication is ensured.

4.37.5 Installation
Note Before opening the camera box, make sure that the camera box is placed on a flat,
horizontal support with enough amount of space. The stands of the camera box must be
located at the bottom side.
1. Take the monitor out of the box, flip the stand to an acceptable position and
fix this position. Place the monitor on a flat horizontal support.
2. Connect the adaptor cable to the monitor:
The RCA plug to VIDEO Input 1 (marked with “1”) of the monitor and
the DC plug to Power supply input the monitor (marked with “2”).
CAUTION The power supply voltage must be within 100-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.
Check your supply voltage before connecting any devices.
7. Connect the cord of the multiple socket outlet to a suitable power outlet. If
necessary use the supplied power supply adapter.
4.37.6 De-Installation
De-Installation takes place in opposite order as installation
1. Turn off the monitor by pressing the Power (standby) ON/OFF button (5)
2. Unplug the power cord from outlet
3. Disconnect all cables
4. Store all parts into the camera box by use of the appropriate cut−outs. Place
the monitor with the screen face down to prevent scratches or other damage
to the sensitive TFT-screen.
5. Flip the stand of the monitor to the back of the monitor.
6. Place the documentation flatly on top of the stored parts.

Cubicle Earthing
For having enough mounting space with integrated control cubicles for all required
devices a special mounting and wiring system is used.
Mounting
The wiring system consists of prefabricated parts which are mounted to a wiring
frame. The frame mainly is made of vertical bearing rail on the sides, horizontal
mounting bars, mounting straps and wiring profiles. This frame replaces the back-side
mounting plate. The mounting bars on the front side are elaborated according to the
DIN mounting plates. Here are the single devices snapped on. Single vertical posi-
tioned mounting bars on the side of the cubicle are provided for mounting of terminal
bars. In the wiring frame distributed on the height some single horizontal covers inten-
tionally are carried out a bit larger for being able to grip behind the frame.
Wiring
For this wiring system the wiring is established in the back area. The wiring is totally
accessible from the front.
Advantages
S Because of the establishment of wiring in the back area, cable channels are
not required. With this technic it’s possible to reduce the volume of the
control cubicle compared to a free standing type about approx. 45 %.
S The wiring is done with automatically produced single wires.
S Because of the loose distribution of the wiring over the complete back side of
the control cubicle and division of wiring and device area the air ciculation is
improved, a good heat emission is given. Special hot spots as it happens in
filled-up cable channels are avoided.
S A fast and uncomplicated accessibility is given for refinished wiring or
changes. There is always enough space in the wiring area for additional
wiring.
S In case of a faulty device the device may be changed immediately and
service-friendly because the single wirings for the device connections are
passed from behind to front via special supporting cams. The connecting
wires stay because of the cams in position and make any confusion im-
possible.
The total power consumption of a local control cubicle includes supplying different cu-
bicle-external components, which are not to be considered for a rating.
Furthermore single consumers don’t have any influence to the heat emission during
permanent operation.
Therefore the following positions of electrical power may be excluded for the calcula-
tion of the installed heating power in the control cubicle:
AC:
S Light: Only at open door
S Anti-condensation heaters of the local control cabinet:
Controlled by thermostat and hygrostat
S Anti-condensation heaters of the operating mechanisms: External load
S Socket: External load
DC:
S Relays circuit breaker supervision: External load
S PISA operating mechanism assemblies: External load
S All short-time and peak loads: External load
With this the maximum heating efficiency in worst case is calculated (under the
assumption electric power equals heating efficiency) from the components fan, micro
circuit breaker and computing assembly (Table 4.49-1).
With this a sum of 146 W as installed power loss results for a control cubicle with one
computing assembly of the type REC580, 53 W with a combined control and protec-
tion unit type REF54x.

For a local control cubicle in steel plate design the power loss via the radiation on the
surface is determined in dependance of different agreements.
Determining factors are the ambient temperature and the maximum permissible inner
temperature for the cubicle.
The consumption values to be considered for a typical bay (double busbar with circuit
breaker, earthing switch and three disconnector / earthing switches) are displayed in

SWITCH ON/OFF
The actuated solenoid mechanically unlocks the operating mechanism. The final posi-
tion of the disconnector or earthing switch is mechanically achieved by the non-ener-
gized solenoid.
Activation
The disconnector and its relevant earthing switch are activated and deactivated by the
clockwise and counterclockwise rotation of the driving motor.
Deactivation
The motor and the solenoid are electrically deactivated by means of limit switches.

Activation
When deactivated, the driving motor tightens a spring. When activated, the motor
starts and releases the interlock for the tightened spring. The equipment is switched
on.
Deactivation
The insertion hole for the hand crank, on disconnectors and earthing switches, is
closed by a sliding plate. If at the local control cubicle the interlocking requirements for
the switching mechanism are fulfilled, the interlocking is deactivated by means of a
solenoid. When the hand crank is inserted into the insertion hole, this will be recorded
by a limit switch of the appropriate switching device. An electrical activation of the
drive is not possible.
Disconnectors and earthing switches are lockable in the end position. A limit switch
causes the interlocking chain of the switching mechanism to be blocked, so that ac-
tivation of the drive is not possible.
Circuit protection
Due selectivity requirements the loads in the bay (for example drives of switching de-
vices, cubicle heating, etc.) are divided into different circuits by miniature circuit
breakers.

Activation
Switching the earthing switch witch short circuit making capacity ON or OFF is
initiated by either of the following (Figure 4.53-6):
S Locally on the bay control unit
S Remote signal
Prior to activating the respective operating mechanism motor, the bay control unit
checks the bay-level interlocking logic (switchgear positions) and the PISA checks the
process-level interlocking logic (end position interlocking and electric handcrank inter-
locking). During the OFF operation the operating mechanism motor charges a snap
spring.
During the ON operation the motor activates and releases the charged and locked
snap spring. The earthing switch witch short circuit making capacity then closes.
Deactivation
At the disconnector/earthing switch the plug-in opening for the hand crank is closed by
a gate valve. If the PISA does not contain any locking conditions for the respctive
switching device, the actuation of the gate valve will result in its unlocking by means of
an electric lifting magnet. When the hand crank iis inserted into the plug-in opening,
this will be detected by the control system of the respective switchung device by
means of a terminal switch, so that the operation mechanism cannot be electricially
triggered.
Both, the disconnector and the earthing switch, can be locked in either one of the end
positions. A limit switch signals an end position to the PISA of the respective switching
device that prohibits a motor operation.

The bay control of a switch-bay contains all those functions, which are necessary for a
secure operation of such a bay in a switchgear. The necessary equipment is located
in the local control cubicle as well in the connection boxes of the HV-apparatus. The
splitting-up is made in that way, that the contactors for the motors and, for the C.B.,
the auxiliary contactors and -relays are directly located in the operating mechanism
housings.
In order to be able to selectively disconnect and connect the various consumers mini
circuit breakers are used to distribute them onto several independent circuits.

Cubicle Lighting
Via a door contact switch a incandescent bulb is switched. Because of the preferential
integrated mounting of the control cubicle to the switch bay and because of the impact
of the circuit breaker operation a layout resistant to shock is chosen.
The positions of the high-voltage switching devices are displayed by semaphore posi-
tion indicators in the mimic diagram of the control cubicle. They are controlled by the
auxiliary switches of the high voltage switching devices.
Alarm Indication
Up to 16 single alarms are visualized per bay via the alarm indication combination
SSM16. This alarm indication combination consists of a switch board housing
96x96 mm.
The indication display is realized with 5 mm LED’s. The respective label strips are to
be inserted in transparency foil (in double rows with up to 21 mm text length and
10 mm heigth per channel).
The indication combination is provided with buttons for LED-test and -acknowledge.
The indication voltage may rise up to DC 250 V. There is a seperated potential from
the supply voltage.
The contacts of the relays for eventual remote signalling are potential-free and layed
out as standard as normally open contact.
The insertion hole for the hand crank on disconnectors and earthing switches is
closed by a sliding plate. If the interlocking requirements for the switching mechanism
are fulfilled, the interlocking is deactivated by means of an electrically controled
solenoid.
With the hand-crank inserted the control voltage to the drive contactors will be
interrupted by limit switches.
End-position Interlocking
Disconnectors and earthing switches are lockable in the end position. A limit switch
causes the interlocking chain of the switching mechanism to be blocked, so that
activation is not possible.
Interlocking Bypass
The complete interlocking except the end-position and the hand-crank interlocking can
be by-passed by using a key-operated switch.
OFF-Blocking occurs, if the drive energy for a TRIP or if the SF6 gas density in the
C.B.-housing is too low.
ON-Blocking occurs, if the drive energy for a CLOSE/TRIP-cycle or if the SF6 gas
density in the C.B.-housing is too low.
For circuit breakers with single pole operating mechanisms the synchronous operation
of the three poles is supervised. This causes an automatic trip of all three poles of the
circuit breaker if, after a delay of 2 seconds, all poles are not in the same switch posi-
tion.
The operation counter P201, which records all the making operations of the circuit-
breaker, is connected in parallel to the making coil.
The start-up counter P202, in parallel to the hydraulic pump motor, registers all
starting operations of the hydraulic pump.
The control cubicle contains all devices which are required for controlling and super-
vising a switch bay. The operation and indication elements are positioned at the front.
With opened door of the control cubicle the access to the devices and terminal strips
installed at the back and side walls. All devices and terminals are protected against
electric shock, this means safe for fingers in the operation area, in the inner cubicle at
least safe for the outer hand.
In the cubicle front is a mosaic or an operation panel with a circuit diagram of the
switch bay, therein positioned semaphore position indicators for position indication of
the HV-apparatus. Beneath the position indicators are the push-buttons for switching
on or off the HV-apparatus. Beneath the position indicator of the circuit breaker are
addionally two impulse counters, one for counting of the switching cycles, the other for
counting the pump start-ups of the circuit breaker. On top of the circuit diagram
an ammeter and, if neccessary, a voltmeter, each with selector switch, are placed.
Inbetween both indication instruments an alarm indication device for up to 16 alarms
is positioned. Below this, the Off / Local / Remote switch is placed, below the single
line diagram the key switch for switching without locking is placed.
Construction
In the inner cubicle are placed beside the cubicle lighting and evtl. cubicle heating
also the MCBs for the different potential circuits, relays for interlocking double
operation and interlocking, and terminal straps. The terminal straps are grouped in
a functional way.
The supervision of the circuit breaker and the drive contactors of the HV-apparatus
are not placed in the control cubicle but directly mounted in the drive housings.
Wiring
All wiring of the single devices to each other is realized with homogeneous black
switching wire, preferably with 1.0 mm2 profile.
Designation of Wire
If designations of wire are situated they consist of labeled straps which are inserted in
transparent tube applied on the wires. The designation straps may use up to 12 char-
acters for labelling per label. The labels are printed with the thermotransfere pro-
cedure.
Cabling
The connection between the operating mechanisms and the control cubicle is realized
with system cables with 50 or 64 core leads. Gas density monitor-, current- and if
necessary voltage transformer- as well as additionally heating-cables are inserted in
the cubicle by cable glands.
The cabling from the station side is inserted through the cubicle bottom. There is a
slidable bottom plate with chamfered egdes which leads to a variable gap for the
inserted cables. Remaining gaps are filled on the construction site with mounting
foam.

S Single line diagram in accordance with project-specific arrangement with dis-
play of the current positions of the switchgear
S Control switchgear devices
S Alarm acknowledgement
S OFF / LOCAL / REMOTE / LOCAL&REMOTE switchover
(via electronic key switch)
S 3 displays for measurements values
S Individual alarms on LED with full text description
in accordance with project-specific alarm configuration (max. 32)
HV apparatus control
The devices can be controlled locally at the display or via the station bus. Control is
possible after checking the various interlocking conditions and the switching authority,
with one switch impulse via binary output (BO). The circuit breaker will trip immedi-
ately when a protection device gives the command to trip.
Double point indications are picked up by binary inputs (BI) from the auxiliary switch of
the high-voltage devices and are displayed on the REF542plus display, and can also
be transmitted via the station bus. In the case of intermediate position of the switching
devices, an alarm is created and transmitted via the station bus.
Alarms are visible on the REF542plus display and transmission via the station bus is
possible. The alarms can be acknowledged either manually in the REF542plus menu
or automatically.
S Process alarms
(e.g. CB alarms, MCB trip, SF6 gas density from the GIS bay and messages
from the protection system via BI)
S Logical alarms
(e.g. intermediate position)
S System alarms
(e.g. computer malfunction)
This selection switch position can be transmitted via the station bus, including a time
stamp.
All switch-off procedures of the circuit breaker are registered via BI, shown on the dis-
play as a numerical value in the range 0 to 32767, and transmitted via the station bus.
Operation Measurement
Interlocking
All interlockings in the REF542plus are realised by function blocks in the application
software.
Interlock bypass
The complete interlocking − with the exception of the end position and hand crank in-
terlock − can be bypassed using a key switch.
S Interlock override with key switch
The complete interlocking − with the exception of the handcrank and the end
position interlock − is by-passed at this position. The mode can also be trans-
mitted via the station bus, including a time stamp.
Bay interlocking
S Device interlocking
Standard interlocking , low voltage side is included in the interlock.
S Interlocking against switching of the disconnector and earthing switches
under load
The interlock prevents switching of the disconnector and earthing switches,
as long as the appropriate circuit breaker is closed.
S Intermediate position interlock of the circuit breaker
The circuit breaker can only be switched on at a defined ON or OFF position
of the disconnector
S Hand crank interlock
When the hand crank is inserted in, the corresponding switching device, all
control is blocked. This message is transmitted via the station bus, including
time stamp.
S End position interlocking
When a switching device is locked, the corresponding switching device con-
trol is blocked.
Time synchronisation
Self supervision
The REF542PLUS checks its hardware components and program execution automati-
cally. The bus connections (if available) are also checked continuously.
For reasons of selectivity, there are several electrical circuits in the bay cubicle:
AC:
S Cubicle heating and lighting
DC:
S Circuit breaker control and protection trip circuit #1
S Protection trip circuit #2
S REF542plus
S Disconnector and earthing switch control
S Disconnector and earthing switch motors
S Motor-hydraulic pump
S Interlocking
S Position indications
S Indications / Alarms
Cubicle lighting
A bulb is switched on via a door contact switch. Since integrated cubicles are used a
shock-proof design is selected because of the switch impact of the circuit breaker.
Pump prevention stops the uncontrolled switching (pumping) of the circuit breaker
when there is a continuous ON impulse and a simultaneously applied OFF impulse.
A single switching operation (ON / OFF) is permitted. With an applied OFF impulse, it
is possible to switch on manually.
The OFF blocking occurs if the drive energy for a trip,or if the SF6 gas density in the
C.B. housing is too low.
The ON blocking occurs if the drive energy for a Close/Trip sequence or the SF6 gas
density in the C.B. gas compartment is too low.

external supplier, signals can be integrated via BI and transmitted to the
station control system via the station bus.
− Protection system with station bus connection:
The messages are transmitted from the protection device to the super-
ordinate control system via the station bus.
In this case, the disturbance recordings can be transmitted via the sta-
tions bus as well.
S Indications from transformer
The appropriate signals can be connected to the REF542plus using BI and
transmitted via the station bus.
It is possible to use this to connect a station control system (e.g. ABB MicroSCADA)
or a remote control system.
This bus can be used in the monitoring direction to transmit the position indications of
the switchgear and the measured values.
In control direction, commands for the remote control of the bay can be received by
REF542plus.
The control cubicle contains all devices which are required for controlling and super-
vising a switch bay. The control and display unit of the REF542plus is positioned at
the front or at the swivel frame. With opened door of the control cubicle an access to
the devices and terminal strips mounted on the rear or lateral sides of the cubicle is
granted. All devices are contact safe, this means finger safe in the operating area and
in the inner cubicle at least safe for back of the hand contact.
Completion of cubicles
Beneath cubicle lightning and eventually cubicle heating also the M.C.B.’s for the dif-
ferent voltage circuits as well as terminal strips are installed in the inner cubicle. The
terminal strips are grouped functionally.

high voltage devices are not mounted in the control cubicle but directly in the operat-
ing mechanism boxes.
Wiring
The wiring of the single devices one with another is performed with black switching
wire, preferably with 1.0 mm2 cross section.
Wire designation
If wire designations are applied they are made of label strips which are shoved in
transparent tubes mounted onto the switching wires. The designation plates allows a
labeling with approximately 12 characters per plate. The plates are labeled by the
thermotransfere method.
Cabling
The connection between the operating mechanisms and the control cubicle is per-
formed with 50 or 60core system cables. Gas density monitor, current and if necess-
ary voltage transformer as well as heating cables are inserted into the cubicle by ca-
ble glands.
The cabling of the station side is performed through the cubicle floor. In the cubicle
floor a movable folded floor plate is located hence follows a variable gap for the
inserted cables. Remaining gaps are filled with assembly foam on site.
Basic Concept
The bay control of a switch-bay contains all those functions, which are necessary for a
secure operation of such a bay in switchgear. The necessary equipment is located in
the local control cubicle as well in the connection boxes of the HV-apparatus. The
splitting-up is made in that way, that the contactors for the motors and, for the C.B.,
the auxiliary contactors and -relays are directly located in the operating mechanism
housings.

HV-apparatus Control
The HV-apparatus may be controlled from local as well from remote via the interbay-
bus. The control is done under consideration of the different interlocking conditions
and the choice of control level with a switching signal via Binary Output (BO) to
conventional wired operating mechanisms. As there is a trip command of a protection
relay, the circuit breaker will be tripped directly. At an internal fault of the REC580 all
commands to the bay resp. to the HV-apparatus are blocked.
Double position indication of the auxiliary switch of the HV-apparatus via Binary
Input (BI) and displaying the position of the HV-apparatus on the REC580 display and
transmission via the interbay-bus including time tagging. At an intermediate position
after a certain time, wich can be parametrized, an alarm is generated and transmitted
by the interbay-bus.
Alarms
Visualization on the front of the REC580 and the display as well as transmission via
the interbay-bus. The alarms can be acknowledged automatically or by a push button
on the front of the REC580. In the standard consecutive alarms are not suppressed.
S Process alarms

S Release of electric hand-crank hole interlocking (only ELK-04)
The insertion hole for the hand crank on disconnectors and earthing switches
is closed by a sliding plate. If the interlocking requirements for the switching
mechanism are fulfilled, the interlocking is deactivated by means of an elec-
trically controled solenoid.
S Electric hand-crank interlocking
With the hand-crank inserted the control of the respective drive is blocked.
This is transmitted by the interbay-bus including time-tagging.
S End-position interlocking
Disconnectors and earthing switches are lockable in the end position.
This causes a blocking of the respective drive.

signals (events) a spontaneous transmission with time tagging is done.
In control direction the correct transmission of the received commands via the inter-
bay-bus is confirmed.
Self Supervision
All units based on the REC580 and the PISA-modules do a self-supervision with re-
spect to the hardware components as well as to program processing. All bus connec-
tions are checked permanently as well.
Circuit Protection
In order to be able to selectively disconnect and connect the various consumers micro
circuit breakers are used to distribute them onto several independent circuits.

Cubicle Lightning
Via a door contact switch a incandescent bulb is switched. Because of the preferential
integrated mounting of the control cubicle to the switch bay and because of the impact
of the circuit breaker operation a resistance to shock layout is chosen.
OFF-Blocking occurs, if the drive energy for a TRIP or if the SF6 gas density in the
C.B.-housing is too low.
For circuit breakers with single pole operating mechanisms the synchronous operation
of the three poles is supervised. This causes an automatic trip of all three poles of the
circuit breaker if, after a delay of 2 seconds, all poles are not in the same switch posi-
tion.

HV-apparatus Control
The HV-apparatus may be controlled from local as well from remote via the interbay-
bus. As it is a standard, maintenance earthing switches are controlled only locally. The
control is done under consideration of the different interlocking conditions and the
choice of control level via PISA-modules (Process Interface for Sensors and Actua-
tors), which are located in the drives. They are connected to the REC580 by an optical
process-bus and do control direct coils and motors.
As there is a trip command of a protection relay, the circuit breaker will be tripped
directly by the PISA-module. Therefore there are two Binary Inputs (BI) on the PISA-
module. At an internal fault of the REC580 or the PISA-module all commands to the
bay resp. to the HV-apparatus are blocked.
For protection purposeses the position indication of the HV-apparatus can be taken
from always one Binary Output (BO) directly from the PISA-module. For the busbar
protection an early closing contact can be parametrized. At the circuit breaker addi-
tionally the signals O and OCO of the spring travel stroke switch are available.
Alarms
Visualization on the front of the REC580 and the display as well as transmission via
the interbay-bus. The alarms can be acknowledged automatically or by a push button

With the REC580 three levels of control are possible, according of the key-operated
Off / Local / Remote-changeover switch:
S Off
No switching operations are possible
S Local
The bay can be operated only locally
S Remote
The bay can be operated only by a superior control level
Those positions of the changeover switch are transmitted by the interbay-bus includ-
ing time-tagging.
All making operations of the circuit breaker are registered by PISA and displayed in
the range of 0 to 32767 as numerical data on the display and transmitted by the inter-
bay-bus.

The SF6 gas moisture filter (3) is located underneath the bursting disk (Figure 5.2-1).
To replace the filter the gas compartment has to be isolated and earthed on both
sides. Once the SF6 has been evacuated from the gas compartment, it can be opened
and the bursting disk can be removed. Afterwards the gas moisture filter can be re-
placed and the bursting disk be put in place again. After refilling the gas compartment
with SF6, the GIS can be reenergized.

voltage.
At service voltage the completely filled arrow has to be shown for all three phases on
the LC display of the evaluating processor unit (see Table 5.11-1). The LED indication
shall correspond with Figure 5.11-2.

If another fault occurs after the group alarm has already been initialized, the group
alarm is cancelled for a short while and then initialized once again. This means that a
group alarm that has possibly been acknowledged switches to “unacknowledged”
again.
The types of messages that do not represent a status but rather an individual event,
e.g. the message “Max. switching time exceeded” can also be linked to a group alarm.
In this case, the alarm is present for a short while.
The minimum specified time that an alarm is present is 2 seconds. This should be suf-
ficient, even with cyclic transmission, to transmit the status to all data sinks.
Example of an REC580 event sequence after a fault initially occurs in the SF6 sensor
followed by a fault in the pump circuit:
Date Time Signal Text Message Text

The time codes of the signals generated for the group alarm are offset by 1 ms re-
spectively so that the sequence is always clear. The time coupling means that the as-
signment of alarm and signal can be determined at any time. The cause of an alarm,
therefore, can be determined from the event list.
Cause Remedy
A sensor is defective and signals “assigned” Check functioning of all proximity switches.
although it is not assigned When electrically conductive material ap-
proaches, the yellow LED at the sensor must

the PISA
After a possible switching operation, the fact that end position has been reached is not
recorded. Once the set maximum run time has been covered, all actuators will be re-
set and the switching operation terminated. The signal “intermediate position” is trans-
mitted.
After the failure of a proximity switch that has just been assigned, intermediate posi-
tion is signalled. At the circuit-breaker, the message “Switching without command” is
also transmitted.

− REC580 bus administrator failed
− The CPU of REC580 failed
If there is no “sign of life”, a “Board-Valid” signal changes from “True” to “False” and
this can be evaluated in the function chart.
Internal REC580 active cards (BIO and AIP) constantly report their system status to
the REC580 CPU. Should a serious internal fault occur, the CPU also changes the
“Board-Valid” signal to “False” = “Invalid”. An internal fault, therefore, is reported the
same way as a complete failure.
The respective module has switched to fault status or no longer reports to the process
bus

The following signal names respectively error messages are examples. The default
text for the signal is given in brackets.
Cause Remedy
A sensor is defective and signals “occupied” Function check of all proximity sensors. If a
even though it is not conducting material is approached to the sen-
sor, the yellow LED on the sensor must light
up. Replace faulty sensors. Switch off the
PISA during replacement.
Note The proximity sensors can not be monitored directly. In the following it is described how
to identify a defective sensor indirectly.
During a switching operation reaching the final position is not detected. After lapse of
the preset maximum operating time, all actuators are de-activated and the switching
operation is aborted. An intermediate position is signalled.
In case an occupied proximity sensor fails the PISA signals “Intermediate Position”
and “Maximum Operating Time Exceeded (SWERR)”. The REC580 detects that no
switching command was issued and will generate an error message.
SF6 gas density dropped below the threshold for Step-2- resp. Step-1-alarm
For all other gas compartments the respective error message is generated.
Cause Remedy
The sensor current dropped below 4 mA, i.e. the value is invalid

Note Wrong values within the defined 4 .. 20 mA range that can not be filtered by the 2 Hz
low-pass filter will not be detected as failure.
O−BLOCKED (L1BLK)

Note The signal CO-BLOCKED is also activated, if closing is blocked due to a fault in the trip
circuit. CO-BLOCKED is further signalled, if all input circuits for tripping of the circuit
breaker or if the load circuit of the trip coil are defective.
In addition, a detail error message is generated (“5.13.1.4 Protection Input Circuits“ and
”5.13.1.5 Output Circuits”).
The spring travel sensor does not receive any valid data.

Cause, Failure:
− Fiberoptic connection disturbed
− REC 580 star coupler module failed
− REC580 bus administrator failed
− REC580 CPU failed
If the “alive” signal is not received, the status of “Board-Valid” changes from “True” to
“False”. This status change can be evaluated in the function chart.
The active boards of the REC580 (BIO, BIM, BOM and AIM) signal their system status
to the REC580 CPU on a continuous base. In case of a significant internal fault, the
CPU sets the status of ”Board-Valid” to “False” = “Invalid”.
An internal fault is thus treated like a complete blackout.
Passive components such as MTM and ITM do not have a self supervision.

WARNING! All works related to SF6 are described in chapter “Gas insulated Switchgear” in
document 1HDG 518 005 “Gas-Handling” and have to be followed strictly!
The SF6 gas has to be removed with the appropriate equipment (e .g. DILO) and can
be recycled after filtering and drying. Open gas compartments might contain solid SF6
decomposition products generated during switching operations. All gaseous decom-
position products are bound in the filtering material.
WARNING! SF6 decomposition products might cause irritation to the skin, the eyes and the
mucous membranes.
Note For the disposal of switchgear using SF6 as insulating or arc quenching medium all
relevant safety measures have to be taken. Make sure to comply with all respective
national and local regulations. The return of SF6 gas is contractually regulated with the
SF6 suppliers. ABB will guarantee the return of SF6 gas in accordance with the applicable
regulations.
Prior to disposal of the components, the hydraulic oil contained in the drive mechan-
ism of the circuit breaker has to be removed and disposed of separately.
WARNING! The disk spring column is mechanically precharged with high tension forces.
Disassembly of disk spring should be handled by authorized personnel only
according to ABB procedure and safety regulation. For disposal, the local regula-
tions and laws should be followed. The different materials and utilities used in HMB
drives are listed in this document.
The local ABB representatives will be happy to help you with any questions relating to
disposal of equipment components.
