General
ZS33 switchgear consists of two parts: the fixed enclosure and the removable part ("Circuit breaker truck" for short). Based on the functions of the electrical equipment inside the cabinet, the switchgear is divided into four different functional compartments. The enclosure and the partitions that separate the functional units are made of Al-Zn-coated steel sheets, which are bent and riveted together.
The removable parts may include a vacuum circuit breaker (VCB), SF6 circuit breaker, potential transformer, lightning arrester, insulator, fuse truck, etc. Inside the switchgear, a voltage presence indication unit (to be chosen by the user) may be installed to check the working status of the primary circuit. This unit consists of two parts: "the high-potential sensor installed on the side of the feed line and the indicator installed on the low-voltage compartment door.
The protection grade of the switchgear enclosure is IP4X, while it is IP2X when the circuit breaker compartment door is opened. Taking into consideration the impact of the internal failure arc on the structure of ZS33 switchgear, we conducted a strict arc ignition test to effectively ensure the safety of operating personnel and the equipment.
Enclosure, Partitions, and Pressure Release Device
The Al-Zn-coated steel sheets are machined with a CNC tool, bonded, and riveted to form the enclosure and partitions of the switchgear. So, the assembled switchgear has consistent dimensions and high mechanical strength is ensured.The door of switchgear is powder-coated and then baked, and thus it is resistant to impulse and corrosion and neat in appearance.
The pressure release device is provided on top of the circuit breaker compartment, busbar compartment, and cable compartment. In the event of an internal failure arc accompanied by an electric arc, the air pressure inside the switchgear will rise, and the pressure release metal board on the top will automatically open to release pressure and discharge air. The cabinet door is provided with a special seal ring to enclose the front part of the cabinet, so as to protect operating personnel and the switchgear.
Circuit breaker Compartment
In the circuit breaker compartment, there is a truck, and rails are provided for traveling off the truck. The truck is able to move between "service and test/Disconnect" positions. Installed on the rear wall of the truck compartment, the shutter is made of metal plates. The shutter automatically opens when the truck moves from the "Test/Disconnect* position to the "Service" position, while it automatically closes when the truck moves in the opposite direction, thus preventing operating personnel from touching any electrified bodies.
The truck can be operated while the door is closed. You may see the position of the truck inside the cabinet through the viewing window, the mechanical Position indicator of the circuit breaker, and the indicator of energy storage or energy release status.
The connection between the secondary cable of switchgear and the secondary cable of the truck is realized through the manual secondary plug. The dynamic contacts of the secondary plug are connected through a nylon corrugated pipe, while the secondary socket is located on the right side beneath the circuit breaker compartment. Only when the truck is in the "Test/Disconnect" position, can the secondary plug be plugged on or pulled off the socket. When the truck is in the "Service" position, the secondary plug is locked and cannot be released, due to the mechanical interlock. The circuit breaker truck can only be manually opened before the secondary plug is connected up, but it cannot be manually closed because the closing locking electromagnet of circuit breaker truck is not energized.
Truck
Cold-rolling steel sheets are bent, soldered, and assembled to form the truck frame. According to its purposes, the truck is divided into different categories: circuit breaker truck, potential transformer truck, isolation truck, etc. However, the height and depth of each track are the same, so they are interchangeable. The circuit breaker truck has "Service" and "Test/Disconnect" positions in the cabinet. A lock unit is provided with each position to ensure that the specific operations can be carried out only when the truck is in the specific position. The interlock condition has to be met before the truck is moved, so as to make ‘sure that the circuit breaker is opened before the truck is moved.
When the circuit breaker truck is pushed into the switchgear, it is in the "Test/Disconnect" position at first, and then it can be pushed into the "Service" position by rolling the handle.
The circuit breaker truck is built with an arc interrupter and its operating mechanism. The circuit breaker has independent three-phase poles on which the upper and lower contact arms of the petal-like contacts are installed. The secondary cable of the operating mechanism is laid out through a special secondary connector.
The position of the truck inside the cabinet is not only indicated by the position indicator on the low voltage compartment panel but also sighted through the viewing window on the door. The operating mechanism and closing/opening indicator of the circuit breaker are located on the truck panel.
Contacts System
For the ZS33 switchgear, the petal-like contacts are employed as the electric conduction units between the fixed contacts of the primary circuit and the dynamic contacts of the truck. With reasonable construction design and simple machining and manufacturing, the contacts system features easy maintenance, low contact resistance, excellent capability of withstanding short-time withstand current and peak withstand current, and other good electrical performances. By rolling in or out of the truck, the contact system contacts or disconnects easily, which makes truck operations very convenient.
Busbar compartment
The main Busbar extends through the neighboring cabinets and is supported by the branch bus bars and vertical partitions and bushings. Both main and branch bus bars are coated with heat shrinkage bushings or painting to provide reliable composite insulation effects. The bushings and partitions are to isolate the neighboring switchgears.
Cable compartment
The cable compartment can be equipped with current transformer and earthing switch (w/ manual, operating mechanism), and be connected with several parallel cables. It's very convenient for cable installation due to the large space inside the cable compartment.
Low-voltage compartment
The low-voltage compartment and its door can be equipped with various secondary devices according to different requirements. There is reserved metallic shield trench for secondary control cables and sufficient space for cable incoming and outgoing. The reserved trench for incoming and outgoing control cables of the switchgear to enter the low-voltage compartment is on the left; while the trench for control cables of the cabinet is on the right of the switchgear.
Interlock mechanism preventing mis-operation
The ZS33 switchgear is provided with a series of lock devices to prevent any dangerous conditions and maloperation that may lead to serious results at the root, so as to effectively ensure the safety of operating personnel and the equipment.
The lock functions are as follows:
● The truck can move from the "Test / Disconnected" position to the "Service" position only when the circuit breaker and earthing switch are in the ‘open position; vice versa (mechanical interlock).
● The circuit breaker can be closed only when the circuit breaker truck entirely reaches the"Test" or "Service" position (mechanical interlock)
● The circuit breaker cannot be closed, but only manually opened, when the control power breaks while the circuit breaker truck is in the “Test"or "Service" position (electrical interlock).
● The earthing switch can be closed only when the circuit breaker truck is in the "Test / Disconnected" position or is moved off the position (mechanical interlock).
● The truck can not be moved from the “Test / Disconnected" position to the "Service" position during the closing of an earthing switch (mechanical interlock).
● When the truck is in the "Service" position, the control cable plug of circuit breaker is locked and cannot be plugged off.
