PRODUCT STRUCTURE
The product structure shown as Fig. 1.
The switchgear consists of a fixed body and withdrawable parts(handcart for short).The enclosure and all the metal baffle plates of each function unit are joined with the bolts. The electrical components inside the cubicle are shown as Fig.1. The protection grade of enclosure is IP4X and it will be IP2X as the cubicle door is opened.
5.1 Enclosure and baffle plate
The enclosure and baffle plates are made of Al-Zn coated steel plate after processed by CNC machine and multi-bending, then are assembled with the bolts to ensure its uniformity in size. The Al-Zn coated steel plate has strong antioxidant and corrosion-proof function, and is superior to similar ones on mechanical strength. The cubicle is divided into a handcart compartment, a busbar compartment, a cable compartment and an instrument compartment (low voltage compartment), and each independently connects ground. The cubicle door is coated by plastic powder, so that the surface is anti-impact and corrosion-proof, and ensure a beautiful appearance.
5.2 Handcart
The frame of the handcart is made of the steel plate processed by CNC machine and is assembled with the rivets.
According to its usage, the handcart can be sorted into CB handcart, PT handcart, measurement handcart and so on. The height and depth of different kinds are same, so those of same specification are inter changable. The handcart has the isolating/testing position and working position in the cubicle, each position is equipped with a positioning device to ensure that the handcart will not move at random when in specified position. Unlock the position lock before move the handcart, the circuit breaker must be in opening state before move the CB handcart.
Withdrawable circuit breaker handcart.
The frame is made of the steel plate, vacuum circuit breaker and the other auxiliary devices are on the handcart. The primary movable contact with spring finger system is installed on the outgoing terminals of circuit breaker through the arm rod, and all the control buttons and opening/closing position indicators are on the name plate of handcart for convenient operation. When the handcart enters into the cubicle and reaches the isolating/testing position, its enclosure reliably will connects the earthing system, and the instruments and control system also connect the cubicles through the secondary plugging pieces. However, when the handcart reaches the working position, primary circuit will be connected except CB.
5.3 Compartments in cubicles
5.3.1. CB compartment
A special guide rail is installed in CB compartment(B) for the handcart to move between the isolating/testing position and the working position. The movable baffle plate made of the good metal sheet is installed on the back wall of handcart compartment. When the handcart moves from the isolating/testing position to the working position, the baffle plate in front of the fixed contact will automatically open. Contrarily, it will automatically close to seal the fixed contact box, thereby to ensure the operator’s safety. If the handcart is operated when the cubicle door is closed, its position can be seen through the observing window. Meanwhile, ON(opening)/OFF(closing) buttons, ON(opening)/OFF(closing) mechanical position indicators and energy storing/releasing indicators can also be seen.
5.3.2 Busbar compartment
The busbar is led from one cubicle into another cubicle under the supporting of the insulation bushings, and connects the fixed contact box through the branch busbar. The main busbar and inter busbar are round copper bars with rectangular section. All the busbar are coated by the insulation sleeves. Full-insulation busbar system consumedly decreases the occurrence probability of the internal faults. Furthermore, the busbar compartment is isolated from each other. When internal faults occur in one cubicle, the dissociate gas will not enter into the next cubicle to avoid expanding the faults.
5.3.3 Cable compartment
The current transformer and the earthswith can be mounted on the back wall of the cable compartment, and the potential transformer and the lighting arrester can be mounted inside the compartment. After the handcart and the level baffle plate are removed, the worker can enter into cubicle from the bottom to install the cables. There are specified cable conductors for connecting 1 6 pieces single-core cables in parallel in the cable compartment . A movable metal plate is mounted on the bottom to provide convenience for site operation.
5.3.4 Instrument compartment
The instrument compartment includes the protection relay, meters, power indicator and some specified secondary devices. The control circuits are laid in the neck grave with sufficient space and metal cover plate. The left one is pre-reserved for outgoing and incoming of the secondary busbar. There ‘re also some leading holes for the secondary busbaron the side plate of the instrument compartment.
5.4 Interlocking device for preventive mal-operation
The cubicle has reliable interlocking device for protecting the operators and equipments. Details are as following:
5.4.1 When the handcart moves from the working position to the isolating/testing position, the movable baffle plate will seal the fixed contact box to avoid entering into the electrified compartments. During overhaul, please lock the baffle plate by the hang-lock.
5.4.2 When the circuit breaker is in the closing position, the handcart can’t be pulled out from the working position or moved from the isolating/testing position to the working position; The circuit breaker can be operated only when the handcart is completely locked in the testing or working position.
5.4.3 Earth switch can be operated only when the handcart is in the isolating /testing position or outside the cubicle. When the earth switch is in the closing position, the handcart can’t be pushed from the isolating/testing position to the working position.
5.4.4 When the handcart is in the working position, the secondary plug shall be locked and can’t be pulled out.
5.5 Pressure-releasing device
The pressure-releasing devices are respectively mounted on the top of handcart compartment, busbar compartment and cable compartment. When internal fault arc occurs to the circuit breaker or the busbar, the air pressure will increase accompanying the appearance of arc, then the metal pressure-releasing plate will be automatically opened to release the gas and pressure to ensure the safety of operators and cubicle.
5.6 Position interlocking between secondary plug and the handcart
The connection between the secondary circuit of the cubicle and the handcart’s secondary circuit is realized through the secondary plugging pieces. The movable contact lead of the secondary plug, covered with a nylon bellows, can be connected with the handcart, and the secondary fixed contact socket is mounted on the right-top of the circuit breaker compartment. The secondary plug can be connected or released only when the handcart in the testing/isolating position, however, when the handcart in the working position, the secondary plug will be locked and not be released.
5.7 Power indicator
The power indicator mounted in the cubicle consists of a HV sensor and a display. The sensor is mounted at the side of busbar or feeder, and the display is mounted on the door of the instrument compartment. When check if A, B, C phase are electrified, press the button, that it acts means the busbar or feeder is electrified, otherwise, they aren’t electrified.
