8 8 General description General Instructions Gas tank Sealed compartment which houses the busbar and the switching and breaking elements, where the insulating medium is SF 6. Each gas tank has a pressure relief device to facilitate gas relief in the event of internal arc. Thanks to the hermetically-sealed nature of the gas tank containing all the medium voltage elements, the equipment is expected to have a minimum service life of 30 years, without replenishing the gas, in accordance with Standard IEC Figure 1.2 Gas tank for cgm.3-l Driving mechanism compartment This is the compartment in which the switch-disconnector, earthing switch or circuit-breaker is driven, depending on the type of function. The mimic diagram for the main medium voltage circuit is displayed on the cover of this compartment. The mimic diagram includes all the position indicators for the driving elements. The has, in line with the cubicle model, the following types of driving mechanism: B Tilting l, s, s-pt, rb-pt, v, 2lp, 2lv BM Motorised tilting l, s, s-pt, 2lp, 2lv BR-A Accumulation of energy with latch p, 2lp BR-AM Accumulation of energy with motorised latch l, p, 2lp AV Circuit-breaker without reclosing v, 2lv AMV Motorised circuit-breaker without reclosing v, 2lv RAV Circuit-breaker with reclosing option v, 2lv RAMV Motorised circuit-breaker with reclosing option v, 2lv These elements are operated independently, i.e., their actuation speed does not depend on the speed of the manual operation. The B, BM, BR, AR and BR-AM driving mechanisms can be replaced by upgrading in any of the three possible positions (closed opened earth). Whilst the driving mechanism is withdrawn, these positions of the switch can be blocked using a coupling device, whether in service or not.

14 14 Handling and transport General instructions 2 Handling and transport Important: During transport, the switchgear must be perfectly seated and fixed so that it cannot move about and possibly damage the equipment. 2.1 Lifting means The switchgear must always be kept upright, directly on the ground or on a pallet depending on the type of handling involved. To handle assemblies of up to 4 cgm.3 functional units, one of the following methods must be used: 1. Using a forklift truck or pallet-jack [5]. Figure 2.2 Lifting a cgm.3 modular cubicle with chains. 3. If it is not possible to use the aforementioned methods, rollers may be used underneath the switchgear. Another option is to slide the cubicles over rods (these same rods can be used to help get over the cable trench). Figure 2.1 Lifting a cgm.3 modular cubicle using a fork-lift truck. 4. To handle sets of 5 functional cgm.3 units (consisting of either coupled modules or compact assemblies associated with modules), use lifting systems (slings, lifting beam, etc.) with a pull angle greater than 65º and less than 115º in order to prevent possible damage to the cubicles during hoisting. 2. Lifting using slings or chains fixed to the lifting supports on the sides of the top of the cubicle. The angle of pull should be as vertical as possible (with an angle greater than 60º from the horizontal). [5] Position the rear of the cubicle facing the driver, to avoid damaging the front.

15 General instructions Handling and transport 15 Figure 2.3 Lifting a cgm.3 assembly with 5 functional units. Figure 2.4 Lifting a cgm.3 assembly with a forklift truck. The use of lifting beams is required for cubicle assemblies with control boxes. As the sole exception, slings may be used if the cubicles of the assembly have identical height control boxes installed.

16 16 Storage General instructions 3 Storage If it needs to be stored, the equipment must be placed on dry ground or on top of damp-proof insulating material, still in its original packaging. After prolonged storage, clean all the insulating parts carefully before commissioning the equipment. The enclosure should be cleaned with a clean, dry lint-free cloth. Storage must always be INDOORS, with the following conditions recommended: 1. Ambient air temperature should not exceed 40 ºC and its mean value, measured in a period of 24 hours, should not exceed 35 ºC. 2. The ambient air temperature should not drop below - 5 ºC. There are also cubicles with storage temperature up to - 40 ºC. 3. The switchgear must be protected from direct solar radiation. 4. Altitude, both in transport and in storage, must not exceed 2000 m. 5. The environmental air must not have any significant contamination from dust, smoke, corrosive and/or inflammable gases, vapours or salt. a) the mean relative humidity value, measured over a period of 24 hours, must not exceed 95%. b) the mean water steam pressure value, measured in a period of 24 hours, must not exceed 2.2 kpa. c) the mean relative humidity value, measured over a period of one month, must not exceed 90%. d) the mean water steam pressure value, measured in a period of one month, must not exceed 1.8 kpa. 7. During transport, vibrations caused by external factors or seismic movements must be insignificant. Any other conditions must be made known beforehand, since the equipment must be factory-set at atmospheric pressure in the final destination. Otherwise the gauge may show an erroneous reading, even though the unit's interior pressure value is correct. 6. The switchgear must be protected from the rain, and the humidity conditions should be as follows:

26 26 Installation General instructions 4.5 Fastening to the floor Before assembling the cubicles, the floor must be carefully levelled to prevent any deformation which may make it difficult to connect the cubicles to one another. The cubicles can be fastened to the floor in two ways: Fastening to the floor on profile If the floor of the facility is not sufficiently uniform, it is advisable to install the medium voltage cubicles on an auxiliary profile, to make it easier to connect. This profile, which can be supplied to order, must be anchored to the floor using expansion screws. A B C Screw M10x25 65 x 65 x 4 mm profile Anchoring support Figure 4.11 Fastening cubicles on profile Fastening to the floor by anchoring If the floor of the installation is level enough, it is advisable to install the medium voltage cubicle anchored directly to the floor. The sequence for anchoring the cubicles to the floor is as follows: 1. The cubicle's switch must be in the earthing position [13]. By default, the cubicles are supplied with the switch in earthing position. Except in circuit breaker functions, which will be in disconnected position. 2. Remove the cable compartment cover, using the central handle on the cover to pull it up and forward. [13] See section 5. Operations sequence

33 General instructions 4.9 Assembly and connection of measuring transformers in cgm.3-m Installation 33 The medium voltage and current transformers are housed in tracks installed in the cgm.3-m metering modular cubicle by Ormazabal. The layout and connection of these transformers (maximum three voltage transformers and three current transformers per metering cubicle) will correspond to the order configuration and the type of transformers to be installed. For further information on the installation and connection of cgm.3-m metering transformers by Ormazabal, check the operations manual MO-082 Installation of transformers and busbars in metering cubicles.

34 34 Recommended sequence of operations General instructions 5 Recommended sequence of operations Before carrying out any operation when voltage is present, we recommend checking the SF 6 gas pressure using the pressure gauge. 5.1 Checking the gas pressure Each tank has a pressure gauge for checking the gas pressure, which can easily be seen from outside the cubicle. The pressure gauge scale is divided into different colours: red, grey and green. For safe operation, the needle must be in the green area of the corresponding temperature band. Figure 5.1 Pressure gauge 5.2 Voltage presence indicator Ormazabal has two voltage presence indication options: The ekor.vpis unit for detecting voltage, designed in accordance with Standard IEC Therefore, the voltage presence indication is displayed when the phase-earth voltage is equal to or greater than 45% of the rated voltage and is not visible when the phase-earth voltage is less than 10% of the rated voltage. The ekor.ivds unit for detecting voltage is designed in accordance with Standard IEC Therefore, the voltage presence detection is displayed when the phase-earth voltage is between 45% and 120% of the rated voltage and is not visible when the phase-earth voltage is less than 10% of the rated voltage. Both units provide a clear visual indication for the user, without needing an auxiliary power supply for its operation. For each of the three phases, the presence of voltage is indicated by intermittent flashing of the indicators. The voltage detection unit has the following displays: 1. L1, L2, L3 signal each of the indicator phases. The numbering corresponds to the order of the phases, from left to right, seen from the front of the cubicle. Each phase has a test point for checking the phase balance between cubicles. 2. Voltage presence indicator. The flashing light indicates the presence of voltage in this phase.

35 General instructions Recommended sequence of operations Phase test points. Each phase has a test point for checking the phase balance between cubicles. 4. Earth test point. This is only used for comparing the phases. The purpose of the test points for the three phases and earth is to make it easier to check the phase balance [16] between cubicles. Specific phase comparator ekor.spc by Ormazabal can be used to do this. With the ekor.vpis, if the indicators do not light up, use other means to check that there is no voltage. Figure 5.2 Voltage presence indication unit 5.3 Phase balance check The ekor.spc [17] phase comparator by Ormazabal should be used for checking that the medium voltage cables are correctly connected to the feeder cubicles. Firstly, connect the red cables of the ekor.spc unit to the corresponding phase test points in the voltage indication units [18], and the black cable to the earth test point. This operation must be repeated for all the phases: L1, L2 and L3 Figure 5.4 Detail of ekor.spc Figure 5.3 Detail of ekor.spc [16] See section 5.3 Phase balance check [17] Optionally, other comparison devices which comply with Standard IEC may be used. [18] See section 5.2. Voltage presence indicator of these General Instructions.
