1. SCOPE
1.1. This specification covers the requirements for indoor, low voltage, industrial type
switchgear and motor control centre, comprising busbars and functional units, such as incoming-
, bus section -, motor starter- and outgoing feeder units.
1.2. This specification shall be read in conjunction with the requisition.
2. SERVICE CONDITIONS
2.1. The equipment shall be suitable for operating indoors at an industrial plant in a safe
(non-hazardous) location for use in a pollution degree 3 environment (IEC 61439-1, par. 7.1.3).
2.2. The ambient temperature inside the substation / switch room is maximum 40°C, with an
average of 35°C over 24 hours.
2.3. The altitude is less than 2000 meters.
5.5. ARRANGEMENTS
5.5.1. Unless otherwise specified, the manufacturer is free to arrange the items in the best
engineered manner.
5.5.2. The functional (withdrawable) units are to be rated such, that they can be placed at any
height.
5.5.3. Large starters are preferred to be at low level.
5.5.4. Each switchgear/MCC shall include:
- 10% spare of the installed outgoing feeder units, with a minimum of one per each compartment
size installed.
- 10% space of the installed motor starter units, with a minimum of one per each compartment
size installed.
6.3. ACCESSIBILITY
6.3.1. A mechanical interlock shall be provided on all "switching" enclosures to prevent the cover
or door being opened unless the air circuit breaker, isolator or fused-switch is in the "off"
position.
6.3.2. With any door open or unit withdrawn it shall not be possible to insert an IPXXB test finger
(IEC60529) on to live parts.
6.3.3. To comply with item 6.3.2. shrouding is mandatory, there shall be no use of shutters to
achieve the IPXXB rating.
6.3.4. Fuses shall only be accessible when they are fully isolated either by means of withdrawal
of the unit or disconnecting the fuses from the supply side.
8. INCOMING UNITS
8.1. Incoming units shall be provided with an air circuit breaker with closing coil, trip coil,
motorised spring charging and auxiliary contacts as specified in the requisition.
8.2. Air circuit breakers shall be of the draw-out type. They shall be provided with a direct
working short circuit protection and time delayed overcurrent protection, preferably of the
electronic type.
8.3. Each incoming unit shall be mounted in a separate compartment.
8.4. Each incoming unit shall be provided with a separate measuring compartment. The type and
number of required meters shall be as specified in the requisition.
9. BUSSECTION UNITS
9.1. Bussection units shall be provided with independent manually-operated switches or circuit
breakers as specified.
9.2. Each bussection unit shall be housed in a separate compartment.
14. EARTHING
14.1. The switchgear shall be provided with a main earth bar along the whole length, located at
the top in the main busbar compartment. The minimum size shall be 25 x 10 mm.
14.2. A vertical earth bar shall be provided in each vertical section along the whole height of the
equipment. The minimum size shall be 20 x 4 mm. It shall have provisions for termination of an
earth conductor per specified cable.
14.3. The earth bars shall be copper and suitable sized to cope with the fault current level and
fault clearing time under the prospective short circuit conditions for a solidly earthed system.
14.4. To these earthbars shall be bonded the switchgear enclosures, i.e. all individual vertical
sections, all fixed and withdrawable-type equipment when in service position and all metal cable
sheats. When earth continuity of removable or withdrawable parts is arranged via metal support
surfaces, the switchgear/MCC supplier shall provide type test certificates, indicating fulfillment of
the requirements of effective conductivity and the precautions necessary to guarantee
permanent good conductivity.
14.5. Doors mounted with voltage carrying equipment shall be earthed by means of a suitable
sized flexible copper conductor.
15 LABELLING
15.1. Labels shall be "resopal" or similar, with black letters on a white background. They shall be
fixed to the switchgear by means of proven durable self-threading screws or rivets.
15.2. Per switchgear one main label, indicating the switchgear reference number, shall be
provided at the top of the incoming unit Label dimensions 196 x 52 mm Letter height 30 mm.
15.3. Per vertical section one label, indicating the section number, shall be provided at the top.
Label dimensions 74 x 26 mm Letter height 14 mm
15.4. Per compartment one label, indicating the compartment number (A, B, C, etc.), shall be
provided. Label dimensions 74 x 26 mm Letter height 12 mm.
15.5. Per compartment one label, indicating the connected equipment and/or equipment number,
shall be provided. Label dimensions 74 x 26 mm Letter height 4 mm.
15.6. Each removable or withdrawable unit shall contain the same information as indicated on
the front door.
15.7. Safety shutters for ACB’s shall be clearly labelled with 25 mm high white letters on a red
background, as follows:
- Busbar shutters marked "BUS-BAR"
- Incoming circuit shutters marked "INCOMING SUPPLY"
15.8. Removable safety shrouds shall be fitted with "DANGER" warning labels.
16. PAINTING
16.1. The standard painting method is:
- pre-treatment (degreased, phosphate coating, made passive)
- powder coating (thermosetting powder with epoxy resin as base, applied electrostatically in
average layer thickness of 60 – 70 micrometers)
