From generating stations down to installation distribution substations, ABB provides the most reliable and top quality
solution for supplying products, systems and services.
As sole partner, ABB is the largest and most complete supplier in the world of switchgear and systems for electric
power transmission and distribution. ABB substations, cables, transformers, control systems and switchboards are
used by our customers for efficient use of electric power.
As a leading company in research, development and innovation, ABB is able to provide the most complete and
suitable solutions for satisfying present needs and future requirements of producers, distributors and users of electric
power.
The medium voltage switchboard is one of the most important links in the electric distribution chain and ABB has
developed the UniGear switchboard with the aim of satisfying all requirements.
UniGear is the combination of consolidated solutions and innovative components, both of which are the fruit of ABB
technology.
UniGear is a medium voltage metal-clad switchboard with a metal enclosure, suitable for indoor installations.
Metal partitions segregate the compartments from each other and the live parts are air-insulated.
The switchgear is modular and is built up by placing standardized units side by side in a coordinated way. The
switchgear is simple to configure and selection of the apparatus and instruments does not imply dedicated solutions.
The functional units of the switchboard are guaranteed arc proof in accordance with the (IEC 62271-200) Standards,
appendix AA, class A accessibility, criteria 1 to 6.
All the start-up, maintenance and service operations can be carried out from the front. The switchgear and the earthing
switches are operated from the front with the door closed. The switchboard can be wall-mounted.
The range of apparatus for the UniGear switchboard is the most complete available on the market, being able to count
on vacuum and gas circuit-breakers and vacuum contactors with fuses.
All this apparatus is interchangeable inside the same switchgear unit. This makes use of a single switchboard-user
interface possible, with the same service and maintenance procedure and operations. The fixed version switch-
disconnector units complete the range of apparatus.
The switchboard can be fitted with conventional (transformers and relays) or innovative (sensors and multi-purpose
unit) measurement and protection components.
Apart from the traditional functional units, the UniGear switchboard is fitted with double-level solutions and compact
units equipped with contactors with fuses. The use of these units allows extremely efficient use of space.
Standards
The switchboard and main apparatus contained in it comply with the following Standards:
• IEC 60694 for general purpose.
• IEC 62271-200 for the switchboard.
• IEC 62271-102 for the earthing switch.
• IEC 60071-2 for the insulation coordination.
• IEC 62271-100 for the circuit-breakers.
• IEC 60470 for the contactor.
• IEC 60265-1 for the switch-disconnector.
• IEC 60044-1 for the current transformers
• IEC 60044-2 for the voltage transformers.
• IEC 60044-7, IEC 60044-8 for the sensors.

Degrees of protection
The degrees of protection of the switchboards conform with IEC 60529 Standards.
UniGear switchboards are normally supplied with the following standard degrees of protection:
• IP4X on the external housing.
• IP2X partitions between compartments.
On request, the external housing can be supplied with different degrees of protection up to a maximum of IP42.
The electrical characteristics of the switchboard can vary for ambient conditions other than those described and for
higher degrees of protection than the standard ones.
Metal-clad
Compartments
Each unit consists of three power compartments: apparatus, busbars and feeder.
There are two versions available for closing the apparatus and feeder compartment doors with screws or central
handle. Each unit is fitted with an auxiliary compartment, where all the instruments and cabling are housed. The arc-
proof switchgear is normally provided with a duct for evacuation of the gases produced by an arc. All the units are
accessible from the front and the maintenance and service operations can therefore also be carried out with the
switchboard wallmounted.
The compartments are segregated from each other by metallic partitions.
Partition class – PM (metal): i.e. it is provided with metallic shutters and partitions between the operating parts and an
open compartment.
Loss of service continuity – LSC 2B: service of the main busbar and of the cable compartment is guaranteed when
a normal maintenance operation is to be carried out in one of the compartments of the main circuit (e.g. circuitbreaker
compartment). For UniGear 500R, UniGear ZVC, NALF and MCC panels, only LSC 2A applies.
Internal arc classified – IAC A FLR: UniGear is classified as A FLR, i.e. it is accessible from the front, side and rear
having respected the five criteria during the internal arc tests. For UniGear 500R ENA only IAC A F applies.
Main busbars
The busbar compartment contains the main busbar system connected to the fixed upper isolating contacts of the
apparatus by means of branch connections.
The main busbars are made of electrolytic copper.
Up to 2500 A, the system is made with flat busbars; for currents between 3150 A and 4000 A, a special copper section
is used.
The busbars are normally covered with insulating material. There is a single busbar compartment along the whole
length of the switchboard and this can be fitted with segregations for dividing each unit into compartments.
Branch connections
The feeder compartment contains the branch system for connection of the power cables to the fixed lower isolating
contacts of the apparatus.
The branch connections are made of electrolytic copper. They are made with flat busbars for the whole range of
currents and are normally covered with insulating material.
Earthing switch
Each incoming/outgoing feeder compartment can be fitted with an earthing switch for cable earthing.
The same device can also be used to earth the busbar system (measurements and bus-tie units).
It can also be installed directly on the main busbar system in a dedicated compartment (busbar applications).
The earthing switch has short-circuit making capacity.
Control of the apparatus is from the front of the switchboard with either manual or motor-operated operation.
The position of the earthing switch can be seen from the front of the switchboard by means of an indicator.
Earthing busbar
The earthing busbar is made of electrolytic copper. It runs longitudinally all round of the switchboard, thereby
guaranteeing maximum personnel and installation safety.
Cables
Single and three-core cables up to a maximum of six per phase can be used depending on the rated voltage, the unit
dimensions and the cable cross-section.
The switchboard can be wall-mounted in the station because the cables are easily accessible from the front.
Busbar applications
Each switchgear unit can be fitted with an accessory busbar application:
• current or voltage transformers for busbar measurements
• busbar system earthing switch
• top entry duct to make interconnections between different switchboards.
Safe
The UniGear switchboard is fitted with all the interlocks and accessories needed to guarantee the high level of safety
and reliability both for the installation and operators.
Interlocks
The safety interlocks can either be the standard ones or those available on request. The former are foreseen by the
Standards and are therefore necessary to guarantee the correct operation sequence. The latter can be supplied on
request and they must be foreseen by the installation service and maintenance procedures. Their presence
guarantees the highest level of reliability even in the case of an accidental error and allows what ABB defines as an
“error-free” system of interlocks.
Keys
The use of key interlocks is very important in realising the interlocking logics between units of the same switchboard, or
of other medium, low and high voltage switchboards. The logics are realised by means of distributors or by ringing the
keys. The apparatus truck can be locked in the racked-out position and the relevant lock key can only be removed with
the apparatus in this position. The earthing switch closing and opening operations can be locked by means of keys.
The latter can only be removed with the earthing switch in an opposed position to the lock to be made. These locks
can also be applied to the earthing switch of busbar applications. The apparatus racking-in/out operations and earthing
switch opening/closing can be prevented by means of key locks, which prevent insertion of the relevant operating
levers. The key lock can also be applied to the earthing switch of busbar applications.
Padlocks
The apparatus and feeder compartment doors can be locked in the closed position by means of padlocks. These can
be applied to both door closing versions - with screws or central handle.
The operations for apparatus racking-in/out and earthing switch opening/closing can be prevented by applying the
padlocks to the insertion slots of the relevant operating levers. The padlock can also be applied to the earthing switch
of busbar applications.
The metallic segregation shutters can be locked by means of two independent padlocks in both the open and closed
positions.
The switchboard is preset for using padlocks with a 4 to 8 mm diameter.
Locking magnets
The locking magnets are used to make automatic interlock logics without human intervention.
The apparatus racking-in/out and the earthing switch opening/closing operations can be prevented. This magnet can
also be applied to the earthing switch of busbar applications.
The doors of the apparatus and feeder compartments can be locked in the closed position.
The magnets can be applied to both door closing versions with screws or with central handle.
The magnets operate with active logics and therefore the lack of auxiliary voltage makes the lock become operative.
