Description
5 Features
Typical uses 8DJH switchgear is used - even under severe ambient conditions - for power distribution
in secondary distribution systems, such as
• Industrial distribution systems
• Consumer and transfer substations
Freely configurable Besides the standard panel blocks, the fully modular switchgear concept offers
block versions the possibility to combine freely configurable panel blocks.
Up to four modules can be combined in one panel block. The position of the individual
modules is free, except for the bus sectionalizer modules.
The width and weight of the switchgear results from the addition of the configured
individual panels.

7 Components
Mode of operation The operating shaft forms one unit together with the three contact blades.
Due to the arrangement of the fixed contacts (earth - busbar), it is not necessary to
interlock the CLOSE and EARTHING functions.
Closing operation During the closing operation, the operating shaft with the moving contact blades
changes from the “OPEN” to the “CLOSED” position.
The force of the spring-operated mechanism ensures a high closing speed and a reliable
connection of the main circuit.
Opening operation During the opening operation, the arc is caused to rotate by the arc-suppression system,
thus preventing the development of a fixed root. This very effective arc extinction
provides short arcing times. The isolating distance in gas established after opening
satisfies the conditions for isolating distances according to IEC/EN 60 265-1 /
VDE 0671-102 and IEC/EN 62 271-1 / VDE 0671-1.
Earthing operation The "EARTHING" operation is implemented by the turning movement of the operating
lever (rotation, if required) from the "OPEN" to the "EARTHED" position.
Features of During the charging process, the closing and opening springs are charged. This ensures
spring-operated/ that the switch-disconnector/fuse combination can switch off all types of faults reliably
stored-energy mechanism even during closing.
Closing and opening is done via pushbuttons after removing the operating lever, and is
therefore identical with the operation of circuit-breaker operating mechanisms.
An energy store is available for tripping by means of an operating HV HRC fuse or via a
shunt release (f-release).

Mode of operation of The spring-operated/stored energy mechanism is used for three-position switch-
spring-operated/stored- disconnectors in transformer panels (as transformer switch). First, the operating springs
energy mechanism are charged with the "spring charged" operation. Then, closing and opening is done via
separate pushbuttons. An energy store is available for the opening process when
an HV HRC fuse or a shunt release (f-release) trips. No additional charging process is
required for the energy store. This energy store is already charged by switching from
the "spring not charged" position to the "spring charged" position. This pre-charged
energy store ensures that the switch-disconnector/fuse combination can switch off all
types of faults reliably even during closing. After the HV HRC fuse has tripped,
a red transverse bar appears on the "fuse tripped" indicator.
The switchgear is equipped with an operating lever ejection system, which means that,
after charging the springs, the operating lever is ejected, thus preventing it from being
left inserted accidentally.

Equipment
Mechanism operation Operating lever for charging the springs of the switch-disconnector and the make-proof

Shunt release (f-release) Spring-operated/stored-energy mechanisms can be equipped with a magnetic tripping
CLOSED/OPEN (optional) coil (shunt release). Remote electrical tripping of the three-position switch-disconnector
is possible via the magnet coil, e.g. transformer overtemperature tripping.
To avoid thermal overloading of the shunt release in the event of a continuous signal that
may be applied, the shunt release is switched off via an auxiliary switch which is
mechanically coupled with the three-position switch-disconnector.
In transformer panels, continuity at the shunt release can only be tested when
the operating lever is removed.
Auxiliary switch (optional) The operating mechanism of the three-position switch-disconnector can be optionally
equipped with an auxiliary switch for the position indication.
A motor operating mechanism is equipped with an auxiliary switch as standard.
• For switch-disconnector function: CLOSED and OPEN: 2 NO + 2 NC
• For earthing switch function: CLOSED and OPEN: 2 NO + 2 NC
Wiring Auxiliary switches, motor operating mechanisms or shunt releases are wired to terminal
strips. The terminal strips are feeder-related and located over the operating mechanism
assembly of the feeder concerned. Customer-side cable routing is made from the side, if
required from above to the terminal strip arranged at the operating mechanism
assembly.

Anti-pumping • Standard
(mechanical and electrical) • Function: If constant CLOSE and OPEN commands are present at the vacuum circuit-
breaker at the same time, the vacuum circuit-breaker will return to the open position
after closing, and remains in this position until a new CLOSE command is given.
In this manner, continuous closing and opening (= pumping) is avoided.

7.4 Interlocks
Mechanical interlock • The switching gate prevents switching straight from "CLOSED" to "EARTHED" or
from "EARTHED" to "CLOSED", as the operating lever must be re-inserted in
the "OPEN" position.
• The cable compartment cover (HV HRC fuse compartment cover) can only be removed
if the transformer feeder is earthed and the operating lever is removed.
The three-position switch-disconnector can only be switched from the "EARTHED"
position to another position if the cable compartment cover (HV HRC fuse
compartment cover) is fitted.
• Interlocks between the circuit-breaker and the three-position disconnector
- Circuit-breaker in OPEN position: The three-position disconnector can be closed and
opened. The circuit-breaker is locked out.
- Circuit-breaker in CLOSED position:
The three-position disconnector cannot be operated.
• The cable compartment covers can only be removed when the associated feeder
is earthed.
Electrical interlock If the operating lever for the three-position switch is inserted, the motor operating
mechanism cannot be operated from remote or locally anymore.
ATTENTION!
In switchgear panels without switching devices, the cable compartment covers are
screwed on. Do absolutely observe the Five Safety Rules of Electrical Engineering.
Ö Isolate.
Ö Secure against reclosing.
Ö Verify safe isolation from supply.
Ö Earth and short-circuit.
Ö Cover or barrier adjacent live parts.

Mode of operation In the event that an HV HRC fuse-link has tripped, the switch is tripped via an articulation
which is integrated into the cover of the fuse box.
In the event that fuse tripping fails, e.g. if the fault current is less than Imin, or if the fuse
has been inserted incorrectly, the fuse box is protected by thermal protection.
The overpressure generated by overheating trips the switch via a diaphragm in the cover
of the fuse box and via the articulation. This breaks the current before the fuse box
incurs irreparable damage. This thermal protection works independently of the type and
design of the HV HRC fuse used. Like the fuse itself, it is maintenance-free and
independent of any outside climatic effects.

Mode of operation
A coupling magnet, which is fitted to the bottom end of the measurement box, transmits
its position to an outside armature through the non-magnetizable switchgear vessel. This
armature moves the ready-for-service indicator of the switchgear.
While changes in the gas density during the loss of gas, which are decisive for
the insulating capacity, are displayed, changes in the gas pressure dependent on
temperature and external pressure variations are not. The gas in the measurement box
has the same temperature as that in the switchgear.
The temperature effect is compensated via the same pressure change in both
gas volumes.

All parts housed inside the switchgear vessel which are subjected to high voltage
are SF6-insulated against the earthed enclosure.
Site altitude The gas insulation at a relative gas pressure of 50 kPa (= 500 hPa) permits switchgear
installation at any desired altitude above sea level without the dielectric strength being
adversely affected. This also applies to the cable connection when using screened cable
T-plugs or cable elbow plugs.
A decrease (reduction) of the dielectric strength with increasing site altitude must only
be considered for panels with HV HRC fuses as well as for air-insulated metering panels
and a site altitude of 1000 m above sea level. A higher insulation level must be selected,
which results from the multiplication of the rated insulation level for 0 to 1000 m with the
altitude correction factor Ka.
Fig. 38: Correction factor Ka as a function of the site altitude in m above sea level
Example
Rated short-duration power-frequency withstand voltage to be selected for site altitudes > 1000 m
≥ Rated short-duration power-frequency withstand voltage up to ≤ 1000 m * Ka
Rated lightning impulse withstand voltage to be selected for site altitudes > 1000 m
≥ Rated lightning impulse withstand voltage up to ≤ 1000 m * Ka
Example
3000 m site altitude above sea level
17.5 kV switchgear rated voltage
95.0 kV rated lightning impulse withstand voltage
Result
According to the above table, a switchgear for a rated voltage of 24 kV with a rated lightning impulse withstand voltage of
125 kV is to be selected.
The transformer protection table below shows HV HRC fuse-links recommended for
transformer protection. Furthermore, the switchgear also permits fuse protection of
transformers up to ratings of 2000 kVA. Please contact us for such applications.
The specified HV HRC fuses make SIBA are type-tested partial range fuses according to
IEC 60 282-1. The dimensions correspond to DIN 43625. The HV HRC fuses have a
thermal protection in form of a temperature-limiting striker tripping operating in case of
defective HV HRC fuse-links or high overload currents.
Please contact us if you want to use HV HRC fuses from other manufacturers.
NOTE!
- For switchgear with rated voltages up to 12 kV, a fuse slide for HV HRC fuse-links with
dimension 292 mm is normally provided.
- 7.2 kV fuse-links with dimension 192 mm as well as 24 kV fuse-links with dimension 292 mm
are not permissible.

Basic measures for ensuring EMC are already taken during design and assembly of
the switchgear panels. Among other things, these measures include:
• the low-voltage compartment is an integral part of the panel, which means that
the protection and control devices with the internal wiring are metal-enclosed;
• reliable earth connections of the frame parts via toothed contact washers or
locking washers;
• inside the panel, wires are laid in metal ducts;
• spatial separation of sensitive signal wires from wires with high interference
voltage levels;
• limitation of switching overvoltages of inductive loads (e.g. relay or contactor coils,
motors) by means of protective circuits with diode, varistor or RC element;
• within the LV compartment, the secondary devices are mounted in defined zones;
• shortest possible connection between corresponding modules in subracks;
• consideration of the magnetic leakage fields of conductor bars and cables;
• protection of subracks and wiring backplanes against interference by perforated
shielding plates;
• large surface bonding between all modules and devices as well as bonding to
the earthing conductor of the switchgear assembly.
These measures basically enable proper operation of the switchgear itself. The planner
or operator of the switchgear must decide whether additional measures are required
depending on the electromagnetic environment where the switchgear is installed.
Such measures must be implemented by the installation company in charge.
Connect the shields to earth potential - with high electrical conductivity and all around as
far as possible. Protect the contact surfaces from corrosion in case of humidity
(regular condensation).
When laying cables into the switchgear assembly, separate the control, signaling and
data cables and other lines with different signal and voltage levels by laying them on
separate racks or riser cable routes.
The shield is connected to cables or wires with clamps contacting all around.
If low demands are placed on EMC, it is also possible to connect the shield directly to
earth potential (combine or twist the shield wires) or via short cable connections.
Use cable lugs or wire-end ferrules at the connecting points.
Always keep the connecting leads of the shields as short as possible (< 10 cm).
If shields are used as protective earth conductors at the same time, the connected
plastic-insulated lead must be marked green/yellow over its entire length.
Non-insulated connections are inadmissible.
