1.1.2 Switchgear identification

A nameplate is located on the exterior door of each XGIS switchgear
vertical section. Contained on this nameplate are the general order
number, manufacturing shop order number, and all the necessary
switchgear ratings. This information should be given to the Eaton
sales office if a question should arise concerning the switchgear or if
renewal parts are required. This information is sufficient for Eaton to
find the manufacturing information for the switchgear.
1.2 General information An option of the XGIS design is available that is certified to IP4X
requirements.
The purpose for this document is to provide instructions for unpack-
ing, storage, installation, and commissioning of Power Xpert XGIS The XGIS design is not rated for outdoor service.
gas insulated switchgear (referred to as Type XGIS gas insulated
switchgear from this point forward). These switchgear vertical
sections employ state-of-the-art gas insulation, shielded solid
insulation, vacuum interrupters, and modular plug-in technologies.
Combined with laser welding technology and a helium gas leakage
testing process, this system provides high reliability and a small
installation footprint. They provide reliable control and protection for
electrical equipment and circuits, up to 38 kV.
XGIS switchgear is designed for reliable performance, ease of

handling and simplified maintenance. In addition, XGIS switchgear is
tested to IEC standards for application around the world.
The XGIS switchgear has been tested to the seismic requirements

contained in the IEEE 693 standard, the International Building Code
(IBC 2015), and the California Building Code (CBC 2016). For more
information, refer to Seismic Certificate Number SA022006EN.
XGIS gas insulated switchgear vertical sections incorporate technol-

ogy intended to make the XGIS system smaller in size, easier to
install, more reliable and easier to maintain than air-insulated switch-
gear.
XGIS vertical sections come in three basic configurations. Options
are available to customize the equipment for each application. The
three configurations are
• Main/incoming/feeder
• Bus tie
• Bus sectionalizer
• Disconnector
The XGIS switchgear vertical sections come with standard and

optional features. All of the vertical sections include a pressurized
tank filled with SF6, (sulfur hexafluoride). Figure 1. XGIS elements.
All XGIS vertical sections are designed for bottom entry of the power
cables. All XGIS vertical sections are designed for top or bottom
entry of low-voltage power and control wiring.

mechanism is mounted on the gas tank front panel, located below
the low-voltage control area. It is mechanically coupled to the three-
position disconnect switch through a gas-tight tank fitting. It has
electrical and manual modes of operation. It is mechanically and
electrically interlocked with the circuit breaker to assure that the
breaker is open prior to operation of the three-position disconnect
switch for closing, isolation, or grounding.
The operating mechanism includes a controller for motor drive and
logic, a rotary cam limit switch array, linkages for manual operation, Figure 3. Tank pressure gauge.

The three-position disconnect switch normal operation mode is elec-
tric, but it also has a front access cover for manual operation.
Three-position disconnect switch manual operation is performed by
opening the manual mode access cover when the circuit breaker is
open, inserting a tool and rotating the recessed socket. Turning the
manual operation socket with the manual operation tool moves the
switch connector smoothly through each position. The three-position
disconnect switch has a clutch that slips when the switch reaches
the next position. The tool must then be removed and reinserted to
continue moving the switch to the next position.

switchgear is furnished with a three-position disconnect switch only,
conductors from the three-position disconnect switch output termi-
nals to the output bushings are contained within the tank. Since the
three-position disconnect switches are not interlocked with other
panels, it is recommended that access to the three-position discon-
nect switch panel and tie breaker panels be controlled and restricted
using a Kirk key, padlock, or similar lockout system, so that only
trained personnel can access them.
When a vacuum circuit breaker is furnished in the vertical section,
the three-position disconnect switch is mounted and connected to
the top of the circuit breaker assembly in the tank, and conductors
run from the breaker’s output terminals to the tank output bushings.

The circuit breaker assembly consists of three vacuum interrupters,
one per phase, housed in a molded frame. Input power connections
from the three-position disconnect switch couple to top center input
terminals mounted on each vacuum interrupter frame. The breaker
outputs are bused to cable compartment bushings.
The circuit breaker vacuum interrupter poles are actuated by a
stored-energy spring system, mounted in the breaker operating
mechanism. Under normal conditions, an electric motor drive
charges the springs with close and opening energy. For manual
operation, the mechanism is charged using a lever with gear reduc-
tion. The charging lever is located on front of the circuit breaker
operating mechanism.
The circuit breaker can be electrically or manually charged, and elec-
trically or manually opened or closed.
Push buttons (I, O) provided on the circuit breaker front panel are
used to trigger mechanical opening and closing of the breaker.
Electrical charging, opening and closing can be initiated either locally
or remotely via electrical controls as required for a given application.
The molded vacuum interrupter frame is attached to its operating
mechanism. The operating mechanism is located outside the sealed
tank. The molded vacuum interrupter frame assembly is located
inside the sealed tank. The interrupter operating shafts are attached
to the operating mechanism using sealed metal bellows that permit
shaft travel without compromising the tank gas seal.

Circuit breaker trip-free features
The Eaton XGIS Vacuum Circuit Breaker incorporates electrical
trip-free characteristics. That is, the contacts of the circuit breaker
must return to the open position and remain there when an opening
operation follows a closing operation, regardless of whether the
closing signal is maintained.
A circuit breaker with “Electrically Trip-Free” features must be able
to receive and respond to an electrical opening signal regardless of
whether an electrical closing signal is applied.
Interlocking
The XGIS three-position disconnect switch and circuit breaker are
extensively mechanically and electrically interlocked to prevent inap-
propriate operation.

1.3.5 Optional features

Not every option can be furnished on every vertical section
configuration. Following is a list of options. Whether any option can
be included on a project will depend upon on the vertical section
configuration applied.
Voltage transformers
Bus side voltage transformers (non-fused or fused) are mounted in
the XGIS vertical section in the voltage transformer compartment,
behind the busbar compartment, and are equipped with a front panel
accessible disconnect switch. The VT disconnect switch operator
either connects the VTs or grounds the VTs (there is no disconnect
position).
Cable side voltage transformers (non-fused or fused) can be
mounted in the XGIS vertical section in the voltage transformer
compartment, behind the busbar compartment, only when bus VTs
are not included in the same vertical section. These vertical sections
are equipped with a front panel accessible VT disconnect switch. The
VT disconnect switch operator either connects the VTs or grounds
them. If bus VTs are included in the same vertical section, then the

The XGIS design is arc resistant and offers designs with attachment NNote: If the system utilizes a ducted arc exhaust (required to achieve an arc
resistant rating), then a top mount VT cannot be installed in the same vertical
points for arc ducts at the sides or rear of the vertical section. If an

XGIS vertical section is configured for arc resistance, exhaust flaps
to integrate the vertical section into an arc resistant lineup prevent
the use of top-mounted voltage transformers in the vertical section
in which the arc duct attaches to the lineup.
Arc resistant lineups can be designed for arc gas exhaust from the
lineup left end, right end, or the rear of any vertical section.

Current transformers
Main bus CTs
Main bus CTs can be furnished on the horizontal bus in the space
above the gas tank, with the SSIS conductors passing through the
CTs before terminating at the tank input bushings. Main bus CT
dimensions will depend upon the CT ratio and design.
Main bus CTs are installed as part of the system installation process.
After the vertical sections have been put in place and attached to
their adjacent sections, SSIS bus sections and their connectors
connect to each vertical section main bus compartment bushings.

Cable compartment CTs
Cable compartment CTs come in a variety of configurations, depend-
ing upon system requirements. They can be furnished for cable
connections or bus connections.
Cable connections
In the 1250 ampere rated XGIS vertical section, cable compart-
ment CTs can be furnished in single, double or triple transformers
per phase. The CTs mount on an output bus horizontal bushing.
Separable connectors connect cable to the bushing.

Surge arresters
Surge arresters can be mounted in the cable compartment. Each
cable compartment bushing can accommodate up to three cable
connectors. When surge arresters are included, they replace one
of the power cable connectors, allowing a maximum of two power
cable connections per phase.
Figure 31. 2000 ampere cable compartment with two CTs for

Bus connections
XGIS sections can be configured for output bus connections, so
that adjacent vertical section output bushings are directly connected
using SSIS bus. In that case, the output bushings are connected to
adapters connecting SSIS bus sections. Figure 33. Surge arrester.
Key interlocks
The XGIS design can be furnished with key interlocks.
1.3.6 XGIS vertical section configurations

1.6 SSIS conductor system
Solid Shielded Insulation System components provide modular
shielded busbar conductors protected by solid insulation. The system
includes shielded bus sections and coupling adapters that provide
mechanically robust installation that is impervious to environmental
conditions, and free from local electric field around the conductors.
The SSIS conductors and connecting adapters consist of three
concentric layers:
• The live conductor
• The insulating layer over the conductor, and
• The conductive shield outer layer
Figure 40 shows some example SSIS components and their
arrangement as bus sections and terminations. Bus sections start at
bus connection bushings (fitted in the tank) coupled to end or cross
adapters, extend using SSIS busbar, and terminate at bus connection
bushings connected to end or cross type adapters. Figure 43 shows
typical end and cross adapters utilized for main SSIS bus assembly.
For details, refer to the project specific drawings. Figure 41. Top view of XGIS tank showing tank bushings for
busbar connections.
The bushings are mounted on top of the gas tank and are connected
to the switching components in the tank via busbar inside the tank.

The maximum number of cable connectors that can be accommo-
dated depends on the XGIS rating. Multiple connectors per phase
are configured using tee or elbow type separable connectors as
shown in Figure 47. A surge arrester fitted behind an elbow type
connector can be used instead of a power cable when specified.
The 2000 ampere XGIS uses dual cable bushings per phase for cable
connections (see Figure 46).
The separable connector design will change depending upon the
output cable dimensions. In every case, a maximum of three output
connections per phase can be made: up to one tee connector
and two coupling connectors, or one tee connector, one coupling
connector and a surge arrester (see Figure 47).
The 2000 ampere XGIS uses dual cable bushings per phase for cable

3.4 Unpacking
Contact Eaton for more information.
3.5 Lifting vertical sections
3.5.1 Lifting angles attachment
A top lifting bracket (Figure 48 below) is available, and shall be
attached to any XGIS vertical section (Figure 49 below) to enable the
section to be lifted from the top.
The front of the bracket attaches to the rear of the LV
compartment using (5) M10-1.25 x 25 lg SHCS, M10 wide washer
(Figure 50). The rear of the bracket attaches to the rear panel of the
upper assembly using (5) M10-1.25 x 25 lg SHCS, M10 wide washer
(Figure 51).
Figure 50. Front mounting of top lifting bracket.

Figure 51. Rear mounting of top lifting bracket.
3.5.2 Lifting
When an XGIS vertical section is ready for installation, an overhead
lifter or portable floor lifter can be used to move the vertical section
in conjunction with the Eaton top lifting bracket.
When a vertical section is to be lifted, position the lifter over the
vertical section and insert hooks into the vertical section top lifting
brackets holes. Once the lifting hooks are securely seated in the
lifting bracket holes, the vertical section can be carefully lifted and
moved. Lifting chains should each be of equal length, at least 1
meter long each.
Figure 49. Top lifting bracket. 3.6 Storage
If the XGIS vertical section is to be placed in storage, maximum
protection can be obtained by keeping it packed as shipped. Before
placing it in storage, checks should be made to make sure that the
vertical sections are free from shipping damage and is in satisfactory
operating condition.
The storage area where XGIS vertical sections are stored must be
clean, dry and well-ventilated, with an interior temperature of no less
than 23o F. (-5o C.) Check the area periodically for condensation.
Store the vertical section packages upright, and do not stack them.
Indoor storage should be in a building with sufficient heat and air
circulation to prevent condensation. If the building is not heated, the
same general rule for heat as for outdoor storage, as noted below,
should be applied.
Outdoor storage of the switchgear element is NOT recommended. Section 4: Initial inspection
If unavoidable, the outdoor location must be well drained and
sheltered from sun, rain, snow, corrosive fumes, dirt, falling objects
and excessive moisture. Containers should be arranged to permit
free circulation of air on all sides and temporary heaters should be
used to minimize condensation. Moisture can cause rusting of metal
parts and deterioration of medium-voltage insulation. A heat level

5.8 Installing SSIS bus and connectors

Solid Shielded Insulation System components provide modular
shielded busbar conductors protected by solid insulation. The system
includes shielded bus sections and coupling adapters so that the
completed installation is mechanically robust, impervious to envi-
ronmental conditions, and with the shielding features, has no local
electric field around the conductors.
The SSIS conductors and couplers consist of three concentric layers:

on the CT type, quantity and location. The brackets to be applied
and the mounting hardware to be used are specified on the project
installation drawings.
5.12.1 Main bus compartment CTs

Main bus CTs are mounted on top of the tank, using brackets
designed for the purpose. There are a variety of main bus CT bracket
designs, depending on which CTs are to be installed.
In every case, the CTs will be installed on the tank top before the
SSIS bus and adapters are installed.
Figure 85. Main bus CTs in brackets.
Main bus CTs are attached to the main bus compartment top
surface using brackets and mounting hardware. Figure 86 and
Figure 87 show the details of the main bus CT mounting system.

Figure 87. Main bus CT brackets for 2000 amperes.
5.12.2 Cable compartment CTs
Cable side CTs are also held in place using mounting brackets. There
are two possible ways to connect the cable compartment output
bushings: using cable connections or using bus connections.
5.12.2.1 Cable connections

Since the cable CTs are fitted over the cable bushing, the mounting
process requires that the base bracket be mounted over the cable
bushing first, the extension bracket mounted next, the CTs fitted
on to the cable bushing and resting on the extension brackets, and
the CT face bracket mounted last with attachments to the extension
brackets and the CTs.
The cable bushing can accommodate a variety of CT designs, and
multiple CTs per phase, space permitting.
Cable CT configuration will depend on the XGIS rating. 1250 ampere
XGIS switchgear will use one cable bushing and one CT per phase.
2000 ampere XGIS will use two cable bushings and two CTs per
phase. Figure 90. 1250 ampere triple CTs (one bushing per phase).

Figure 98 shows the separable connectors applied to the cable
compartment cable bushing. Up to three cables per phase, or two
cables and one surge arrestor can be applied in the cable compart-
ment.
Figure 98. Cable compartment single CT per phase bracket for 2000 amperes (dual bushing).
5.12.2.2 Bus connections (bus tie section)

Where bus tie sections are connected together, SSIS bus will
connect their output conductors. In that case, different CT brackets
are used compared to the cable connection case.
From the cable compartment bushings, separable connectors are
used to connect sections of SSIS bus. The SSIS bus sections pass
through CTs where furnished.
