Personnel safety

Switching operations withdoor closed

Personnel safety is increasedby:• Opening and closing of the

switching device– In the disconnected or

connected position– Mechanically or electrically– With the door closed• Isolation by moving the

withdrawable part, manuallyor motorized, with the doorclosed

• Verification of safe isolationfrom supply. According toVDE 0105, Part 1, there arethree alternative methods:

– Closing of a make-proofearthing switch with the doorclosed

– Pole-by-pole testing with acapacitive voltage detectorwith the door closed

– Testing with conventionalvoltage testers to VDE 0681,Part 4, but with the dooropen

• Opening and closing of themake-proof earthing switchwith the door closed

– On the feeder and on thebusbar: manually

Interlocking of door/withdrawable part

The door is incorporated in theinterlocking concept as follows:• Opening is possible only

when the withdrawable partis locked in the disconnectedposition.

• The withdrawable part can bemoved from the disconnect-ed to the service positiononly when the door is closed

Features

Personnel safety

Protection against electricshock and ingress of solidforeign bodies

8BK20 switchgear providesboth external and internalprotection. • External protection is

provided by– Complete enclosure of the

panels in all operating states• Internal protection is

provided by– Internal metal compart-

mentalization with enforced-operation shutters, optionalarc-resistant version of thebusbar compartment

– The inter-cubicle partitions;optional arc-resistant version

• Degree of protectionStandard version IP4X/IP3XD.Higher degrees of protection,such as IP31D, IP50 andIP51, can be obtained byadditional measures.

Arc-tested sheet-steelenclosure or compart-mentalization

8BK20 switchgear has beentested in accordance with the relevant standards forresistance to accidental arcingto ensure:• External protection

(personnel safety)• Optional resistance to

internal arcing (exceeding the scope of the standards),i.e. the effects of an arc arelimited as follows:

– Pressure-proof in relation toneighboring panels

– Pressure-proof from thewithdrawable part or theconnection compartment to the busbar compartment(applicable to rated currentsup to 2500 A only)

– Pressure-proof from thebusbar compartment to thewithdrawable part or connec-tion compartment (applicableto rated currents up to 2500 A only)

• Pressure switch– Limits arc duration to a

maximum of 100 ms– Minimizes the damage and

effects of an arc– Recommended use with

grading times >0.5 s– A function check of the

pressure switch is possiblewithout interruptingoperation

– Triggers the feeder circuit-breaker if the pressureswitch responds

Switchgear interlocking

All interlocks are mechanicalwith preventive, key-operatedaccess shutters, i.e.:• Operating levers can only be

inserted when the inter-locking conditions are fulfilled

• This prevents impermissibleoverstraining of the interlock-ing mechanisms

Electric strength

Adequate electric strength of8BK20 switchgear is assuredby:• Sufficiently large air gaps

between phases and to earth• Suitable electrode formThese design features allow all conductor insulation to bedispensed with entirely.

Highest level ofindependence of climate and environment

This is provided by:• Ribbed insulators in cast

resin, with high resistance to pollution

• Total enclosure under alloperating conditions

Maintenance

Minimum maintenanceeffort is assured by:• Total enclosure under all

operating conditions• Use of proven, mainte-

nance-free vacuumswitching devices

Availability

Easy procurement of partsfor extensions and repairsthrough the use of:• Standard insulators• Standard instrument

transformers• Standard vacuum

switching devices• Standard copper sections• Detachable low-voltage

compartment up to 15 kVwith plug-in connectiontechnology

Definition

“Make-proof earthingswitches” are earthingswitches that have a short-circuit making capacity (VDE 0670 Part 2).

Insulating capacity

• The insulating capacity isverified by testing the switch-gear with rated values ofshort-time power-frequencywithstand voltage andimpulse withstand voltageaccording to VDE 0670 Part1000 or IEC 60 694 (seeadjacent table):

• Rated values are referred tosea level and to normalatmospheric conditions (1013 h Pa, 20 °C, 11 g/m3

humidity in accordance withVDE 0111 and IEC 60 071).

• The insulating capacitydecreases with increasingaltitude, but is not taken intoaccount by the standards andspecifications up to a sitealtitude of 1000 m.

There are three differentpositions for the withdrawablesections of type 8BK20switchgear as defined in VDE 0670 Part 6 or IEC 60 298:• Service position– In this position, the switching

device establishes a con-nection between the busbarsand the panel connection.

– The low-voltage connector isplugged in.

• Disconnected position– In this position, segregation

is ensured, i.e. arcingpossible only against earth.

– The low-voltage connectorcan be either plugged in ordisconnected.

• Test position– The low-voltage connector is

plugged in.

– Climate class I1Rooms in buildings with goodthermal insulation or highthermal capacity, heated orcooled: normally only thetemperature is monitored,e.g. in normal living rooms,offices, shops, tele-communications exchanges,storage rooms for sensitiveproducts.

– Climate class I2Rooms in buildings with poorthermal insulation or lowthermal capacity, heated orcooled, without temperaturemonitoring; heating orcooling subject to failure overseveral days, e.g. unattendedrelays, booster or trans-former stations, stables,motor vehicle repair shops,manufacturing rooms forunfinished products, hangars.

– Climate class I3Rooms in buildings withoutsignificant thermal insulationand with low thermalcapacity, neither heated norcooled, e.g. telephonebooths, entrances of build-ings, barns, lofts, unheatedstore rooms, sheds, garages.

Interlocks

• The following interlocks arespecified by VDE 0670 Part 6and IEC 60 298:

– The withdrawal or engage-ment of a circuit-breaker,switch or contactor shall beimpossible unless it is in theopen position.

– The operation of a circuit-breaker, switch or contactorshall be impossible unless itis in the service, disconnect-ed, removed, test or earthingcondition.

– It shall be impossible to closethe circuit-breaker, switch orcontactor in the serviceposition unless it isconnected to the auxiliarycircuit, unless it is designedto open automatically withoutthe use of an auxiliary circuit.

– The provision of additional or alternative interlocks shallbe subject to agreement between the manufacturerand user.

– The manufacturer shall giveall necessary information onthe character and function ofinterlocks.

– It is recommended thatearthing switches having ashort-circuit making capacityless than the rated peakwithstand current of thecircuit should be interlockedwith the associated dis-connectors.

– Apparatus installed in maincircuits, the incorrect positionof which can cause damageor which are used for assur-ing isolating distances duringmaintenance work, shall beprovided with locking facil-ities (for example, provisionfor padlocks).

– Wherever possible, pref-erence should be given tomechanical interlocks.

• Type 8BK20 switchgearfulfils other interlockingconditions over and abovethose mentioned here; see page 4.
