Reliability Technicity
Installed power
The installed power is usually greater than 1250 kVA. But this solution can be used for smaller installed power in case of:
redundancy requirements,
accessibility constraints to the substation (its sometime worthwhile having 2 small transformers instead of a big one).
In practice, this solution will be limited to 5 transformers (3 for typical applications), so the installed power can reach about 10 MVA, and
typically will be from 4 to 10 MVA.
Project size
For implementation reason, from 2500 kVA, this solution is limited to a few floors (10 maxi).
Interruption sensitivity
This solution contains more than one transformer. Consequently, it is possible to use back-up operation modes preventing installation shut
down in case of transformer failure.
In nominal operation mode, each transformer feeds its own main LV switchboard.
In back-up operation mode, in order to limit the short-circuit withstand of downstream equipment:
transformers will never be connected with each other,
each transformer should be sized in order to be able to feed its own downstream installation, and part (with load shedding) or all
the downstream installation its neighbor.
Disturbance sensitivity
As in this solution, transformers of the substation are never connected together, they can feed loads with medium sensitivity to disturbance:
in case of transformer over sizing (compared to installed power),
or in case of special transformer utilization (low ucc),
by separating properly sensitive loads and non linear ones on different transformers.
If addition of this last point, UPS or active filtering could be implemented to feed high sensitive loads.
Flexibility
Installation flexibility can be managed by taking into account extra power to size the transformers and by including spare capacity in the main
LV switchboards with appropriate service rating.
Rising distribution has low flexibility due to centralized connection of floor distribution panels to main LV switchboard.
Implementation recommendations
The main objectives for MV/LV substation localization is to:
limit the impact on the building architecture (size and place of the technical room),
manage accessibility constraints for equipment implementation.
Thats the reason why, main LV switchboard is generally placed:
in the ground floor,
in an underground floor.
The utility connection can be either single line or ring main or parallel.
Concerning MV substation:
MV metering is required for the substation because of more than 1 transformer,
It can be realized with prefabricated substation which allows, installation time reduction and reliability improvement (but limited to 2
transformers).
As far as possible the transformer power is lower or equal to 1250 kVA. They are all localized in the same substation.
As they are never connected together, they are not necessarily similar.
Page 6
Despite the utilization of many transformers, all LV equipment require no short circuit withstand over sizing, because transformers are never
connected together.
The main LV switchboard feeds directly the main loads of the installation (generally up to 100 kW), in particular when they are close from its.
Floor distribution circuits are connected by a centralized rising distribution. Common circuits, like lifts, stairs lighting, etc. are generally fed by
separate circuits.
The changeover between normal and back-up operation mode can be implemented with prefabricated changeover systems.
When limited to 2 transformers, the 2 main LV switchboards can be implemented in the same enclosure.
Typical applications
Office tower building.
Shopping centers, malls.
Collectif housing building.
Hospital.

MV/LV transformer technical specification

These transformers will be in compliance with the following standards:
IEC 60076-1 to 60076-5: power transformers.
They will be manufactured in accordance with:
a quality system in conformity with ISO 9001,
an environmental management system in conformity with ISO 14001, both certified by an official
independent organisation.
A five years guarantee should be possible of dry-type transformers.
Routine tests
These tests will be carried out on all the transformers after the manufacturing, enabling an official test
certificate to be produced for each one:
applied voltage dielectric test,
induced voltage dielectric test,
measurement of no load loss and no load current,
measurement of windings resistance,
measurement of impedance voltage and load loss,
measurement of the transformation ratio and vector group.
Type tests and special tests

These tests can be requested as option, but are subject to prior agreement of the supplier:
temperature rise test,
lightning impulse test,
measurement of partial discharges (routine test for Trihal transformer),
short circuit test (implemented in an approved laboratory)
noise level measurements.
(All these tests are defined in the IEC 60076-1 to 60076-5 standards)
Electrical protection
Protection relay :
The installation must have a protection relay to protect the transformer from:
overload,
short circuits (internal or external),
earth faults,
overflow.
MV surge arresters :
It is advisable to check that the installation will not be subjected to overvoltage of any kind (atmospheric or
switching overvoltage).
If there is a risk, the transformer should be protected by phase-earth surge arresters installed directly on the
MV connection terminals (top or bottom).
Phase-earth surge arresters are absolutely essential in the following cases:
if the lightning impact level Nk is greater than 25. The risk of direct or induced atmospheric overvoltage
is directly proportional to Nk.
during the occasional switching (less than 10 operations a year) of a transformer with a weak load, or
during a magnetisation period.
They are highly recommended in the following case:
if the substation is supplied by a network including overhead parts, then a cable which is longer than 20
m (for example, an overhead-underground network).

07 that can be dismantled on request with:
anti-corrosion protection in the manufacturer's standard painting RAL 9002,
lifting lugs enabling the transformer and enclosure assembly to be handled,
a bolted access panel on the enclosure front to allow access to the HV connections and the tapping.
Accessories and standard equipment
The transformer will be equipped with:
4 flat bi-directional rollers,
lifting lugs,
haulage holes on the underbase,
2 earthing terminals,
1 rating plate,
1 "Danger Electricity" warning label (T 10 warning),
1 routine tests certificate,
1 instruction manual for installation, commissioning and maintenance in English.
MV connection
The MV connections will be made from above on the top of the connection bars. Each bar will be drilled with a
13 mm hole ready for connection of cable lugs on terminal plates.
The MV connection bars will be in rigid copper bars protected by heat shrinkable tubing.
HV connections in cables are not allowed, in order to avoid all risk of contact, due to cable flapping.
The MV connections will be in copper.
LV connections
Page 13
The LV connections will be made from above onto bars located at the top of the coils on the opposite side to
the HV connections.
Connection of the LV neutral will be directly made to the LV terminals between the LV phase bars.
The LV connection bars will be in copper or in tinned aluminium (as the manufacturer prefers).
The output from each LV winding will comprise a tin-plated aluminium or copper connection terminal, enabling
all connections to be made without using a contact interface (grease, bi-metallic strip).
These will be assembled according to current practices, notably using spring washers under the fixings and
nuts.
Devices in the 630 to 2500 kVA range will be easy to connect using factory-built electrical ducting through an
optional interface. Stress withstand in the instance of a bolted short circuit on the connector will be guaranteed
by the manufacturer.
MV tapping
The tapping which acts on highest voltage adapting the transformer to the real supply voltage value, will be off-
circuit bolted links.
Tapping with connection cables is not allowed.
These bolted links will be attached to the HV coils.
Thermal protection
The transformer will be equipped with a thermal protection device comprising:
2 sets of 3 PTC sensors, one sensor for "Alarm 1", one for "Alarm 2" per phase, installed in the coils of the
transformer and placed in a tube to enable them to be replaced if necessary,
an electronic converter with two independent monitoring circuits equipped with a changeover switch, one for
"Alarm 1" the other for "Alarm 2" with 3 coloured light indicators to indicate the position of the relays and the
presence of voltage installed on the front of the converter,
a plug-in terminal block for connection of the PTC sensors to the electronic converter.
The PTC sensors will be supplied assembled and wired to the terminal block fixed on the upper part of the
transformer. The converter will be supplied loose with the transformer, packaged complete with its wiring
diagram.
Main construction characteristics
Magnetic core
This will be made from laminations of grain oriented silicon steel, insulated with mineral oxide and protected
against corrosion with a coat of varnish. To reduce power consumption due to transformer no-load losses, the
magnetic core is stacked using overlapping-interlocking technology, with at least 6 overlaps. To reduce the
noise produced by the magnetic core, it is equipped with noise-damping devices.
LV windings
The LV winding is produced using aluminium or copper foils (as the manufacturer prefers) in order to eliminate
axial stress during short circuits; this foil will be insulated between each layer using a heat-reactivated class F
pre-impregnated epoxy resin film
The ends of the winding are protected and insulated using a class F insulating material, covered with heat
reactivated epoxy resin
The whole winding assembly will be polymerised throughout by autoclaving for 2 hours at 130C, which w ill
ensure:
High level of resistance to industrial environments
Excellent dielectric withstand
Very good resistance to radial stress in the instance of a bolted short circuit.
HV windings
They will be separated from the LV windings to give an air gap between the MV and LV circuits in order to
avoid depositing of dust on the spacers placed in the radical electrical field and to simplify maintenance.
They will be independent from the LV windings and made of aluminium or copper wire or foil (as the
manufacturer prefers) with class F insulation.
The HV windings will be vacuum cast in a class F fireproof epoxy resin casting system consisting of:
an epoxy resin
an anhydride hardener with a flexibilising additive
a flame-retardant filler.
Page 14
The flame-retardant filler will be thoroughly mixed with the resin and hardener. It will be made of trihydrated
alumina powder (or aluminium hydroxide) or other flame-retardant products to be specified, either mixed with
silica or not.
The casting system will be class F. The interior and exterior of the windings will be reinforced with a
combination of glass fibre to ensure thermal shock withstand
MV winding support spacers
These spacers:
- will provide sufficient support in transport, operation and during bolted short circuit conditions as well as in
the case of an earthquake,
- will be circular in shape for easy cleaning and will give an extended tracking line to enhance dielectric
withstand under humid or excessive dust conditions,
- will include an elastomer cushion to absorb expansion according to load conditions and will be incorporated
in the spacer to prevent deterioration by air or UV.
Climatic and environmental classification
The transformer will be of climatic class C2 and of environmental class E2 as defined in IEC 60076-11. C2 and
E2 classes will be indicated on the rating plate.
Fire behaviour classification
The transformer will be class F1 as defined in IEC 60076-11. F1 class will be indicated on the rating plate.
Additional standards
In addition to general requirements for MV/LV transformers, it will comply with IEC 60076-11, the dry-type
transformer standard and with the following CENELEC Harmonisation Documents:
HD 538-2 S1: 1995 for three-phase dry-type distribution transformers 50 Hz, from 100 to 2500 kVA with
highest voltage for equipment not exceeding 24 kV,
IEC 60905: 1987 - Load guide for dry-type power transformers.

Main switchboards and main LV distribution equipment

Main LV switchboard equipment technical specification
The following paragraph describes the general rules to guarantee the maximum level of quality and
performances for a Low Voltage Switchboard.
In the aim to reach this requirement, the entire equipment must be in appliance according to the specifications
defines in the IEC Standard : 60439-1
The IEC 60439-1 applies to low voltage switchgear and control gear assemblies for a voltage which does not
exceed 1000V in alternative current at frequencies not exceeding 1000 Hz, or for 1500 V in d.c.
This Standard is also applicable for all Assemblies intended for use in connection with the generation,
transmission, distribution and conversion of electric energy, and for the control of electric energy consuming
equipment.
To guarantee the installation consistency during the switchboard life cycle, the installation systems and the
devices must be supplied by the same manufacturer.
The Manufacturer Requirements

In order to be conform to the IEC 60439-1, the Switchboard has amongst other things to succeed Seven tests
in the most critical configurations.
Hereafter the detail of those 7 type tests :
No. 1 - temperature rise limits
No. 2 - dielectric properties
No. 3 - short-circuit withstand
No. 4 - protective circuit effectiveness
No. 5 - clearances and creepage distances
No. 6 - mechanical operation
No. 7 - degree of protection
Thanks to the full achievement of those 7 type tests, the Switchboard exploiters have the insurance that the
equipment properly assembled (according the manufacturers rules) is capable to support the maximum
performances announced by the assembler.
The Switchboard supplier must provide a copy of the first page of theses seven certificates.
The Switchboard Assembler requirements

To complete the conformity to the standard, the switchboard assembler has to achieve three others tests after
the complete assembly.
Hereafter the 3 type tests performed by the assembler :
No. 8 - general inspection
No. 9 - insulation / dielectric test
No. 10 - protection measures.
equipment is conformed to the electrical drawings and to the manufacturer rules.
A copy of these routines tests fully completed by the assembler must be present within or close to the
switchboard on its exploitation site.

Average ambient temperature over a period of 24h: 35C
Relative humidity: standard (80% - 35C)

Earthing system Main Busbar: [ TNS TNC - TT - IT ]
Enclosures:
Degree of protection IP: [ 30 31 - 55 ]
Degree of mechanical protection IK: [ 07 08 - 10 ]
Partitioning - Form: ..
For safety reasons and especially when the door is open during switchboard operation, all busbars must be
covered by barriers over the whole perimeter of the busbar zone.
Painting: standard RAL 9001
Door: with locking (key RONIS n 405)
In order to facilitate access within the switchboard for maintenance, its covering panels must be dismountable
on all surfaces for all IP degrees.
To ensure maximum protection of people around the electrical installation, front plates must be installed in
front of all control and protection equipment in order to avoid direct access without a tool to the devices and
consequently to the live parts.
Busbar:
Main busbar rated current: A according to the degree of protection IP
Main busbar composition: busbars of type.
Design will ensure compactness, light weight and enhanced natural convection through the use of channelled
aluminium bars. To ensure a good electrical contact, aluminium will be covered with a high velocity projected
copper, throughout bar height.
In order to limit the volume of copper inside the switchboards for cost and weight reasons, we strongly
recommend designing the electrical architecture with association of horizontal and vertical busbars.
The purpose of the horizontal busbar is to supply energy to all vertical busbars
The purpose of the vertical busbar is to distribute energy to all outgoers with a two-fold aim:
Page 17
1/ If you compare this architecture with horizontal busbars only, you reduce the length of electrical conductors
inside the switchboard by 20%, thus consequently reducing global project costs.
2/ Second advantage, the assembling quality: as a result of the hz. / vert. architecture, we save mounting time
thanks to upstream connection manufacturing (same length along the cubicle height
Besides, from the ergonomic point of view, it is better to connect the busbar with the device by front access. If
you really want to improve this asset, we strongly recommend installation of a vertical busbar with each bar
separated in depth and in width from the others.
For disconnectable cubicles, to make it easier to upgrade the facility, the distribution busbars will be installed in
an IP2X or IPXXB compartment and allow functional units with an output of up to 630A to be added without
interrupting the power supply on these busbars. They will consist of 10mm thick rectangular copper bars, with
width depending on the rated current.
Functional units:
All the devices must be installed on dedicated mounting plates designed for one or more switchgear of the
same type. The aim of this is to group all protection equipment of the same kind and clearly identify inside the
switchboard the function of each device or group of devices.
These mounting plates will have an independent fixing system allowing them to be transformed and moved
anywhere in the switchboard and in particular to facilitate installation upgrading
For disconnectable type :

In order to facilitate future upgrading on site, connections of functional units to distribution busbars shall be
made by covered prefabricated connections and all mounting plates shall be removable from the front. The
general design of the installation system will avoid any risk of metallic parts falling into the cubicles during the
maintenance operations, by any appropriate means including use of threaded elements instead of nuts.
If the installation system foresees several types of front panel (fixed or swivel front plate support frames, with
or without door), this will not affect the position of chassis and mounting plates.
To make them easier to operate and maintain, all functional units of the same type and rating will be
interchangeable, unless a foolproofing system is installed.
To facilitate upgrading, it will be possible to add a functional distribution and motor control unit of up to 630A in
the same column, without interrupting the power supply.
The system used to connect the functional units must not cause any wear and tear on the distribution bus bars
during plugging-in / drawing-out.

Due to the continuous changes in electrical needs for buildings and factories, distribution switchboards must be
designed to ensure that they can adapt to these changes.
They thus need to meet the following requirements:
For rapidity and simplicity purposes, the switchboard offer must include dedicated components allowing
addition of one or more wall mounting & floor standing enclosures or cubicles on the operating site. In order
to facilitate current maintenance, e.g. infra red measurement, the device zone must be accessible in one
operation.
End users will be able to obtain some spare parts ten years after discontinuation of the switchboard offer in
order to replace some components for maintenance or upgrading needs.
For maintenance needs, cubicle extraction and reintegration in the middle of the switchboard must be possible
without operation on the adjacent cubicles
Aesthetics
In order to avoid a dedicated room for low voltage switchboards (main or sub-distribution), enclosure colour
and shapes should be appropriated to be integrated inside all building environments. This specification
reduces facility surface and consequently saves money.
Besides, attractive enclosure aesthetics enable switchboards to be installed in the most accessible areas of
buildings. This feature improves access of the electrical network by reducing maintenance time, while also
ensuring safety thanks to the partitioning and protection degrees.

LV Distribution Switchboard technical specification

The following paragraph describes the general rules to guarantee the maximum level of quality and
performances for a Low Voltage Switchboard.
In the aim to reach this requirement, the entire equipment must be in appliance according to the specifications
defines in the IEC Standard : 60439-1
The IEC 60439-1 applies to low voltage switchgear and control gear assemblies for a voltage which does not
exceed 1000V in alternative current at frequencies not exceeding 1000 Hz, or for 1500 V in d.c.
This Standard is also applicable for all Assemblies intended for use in connection with the generation,
transmission, distribution and conversion of electric energy, and for the control of electric energy consuming
equipment.
To guarantee the installation consistency during the switchboard life cycle, the installation systems and the
devices must be supplied by the same manufacturer.
The Manufacturer Requirements

In order to be conform to the IEC 60439-1, the Switchboard has amongst other things to succeed Seven tests
in the most critical configurations.
Hereafter the detail of those 7 type tests :
No. 1 - temperature rise limits
No. 2 - dielectric properties
No. 3 - short-circuit withstand
No. 4 - protective circuit effectiveness
No. 5 - clearances and creepage distances
No. 6 - mechanical operation
No. 7 - degree of protection
equipment properly assembled (according the manufacturers rules) is capable to support the maximum
performances announced by the assembler.
The Switchboard supplier must provide a copy of the first page of theses seven certificates.
The Switchboard Assembler requirements

To complete the conformity to the standard, the switchboard assembler has to achieve three others tests after
the complete assembly.
Hereafter the 3 type tests performed by the assembler :
No. 8 - general inspection
No. 9 - insulation / dielectric test
No. 10 - protection measures.
equipment is conformed to the electrical drawings and to the manufacturer rules.
A copy of these routines tests fully completed by the assembler must be present within or close to the
switchboard on its exploitation site.

Centralized Layout
Description
It consists in connecting consumers to sources via a star connection. The cables are suitable for centralized layout, with point-to-point links
between the Main Low Voltage Switchboard and current consumers or sub-distribution boards.
Recommendations
Centralized Layout is recommended when:
Installation flexibility is low,
Load distribution is localized: high unit power loads, non-uniform.
Power supply by cables gives greater independence of circuits, reducing the consequences of a fault from the point of view of power
availability.

Distributed Layout
Description
It consists in connecting consumers to sources via a busway. Busbar Trunking System (BTS) are well suited to distributed distribution layout,
to supply many loads that are spread out, making it easy to change, move or add connections..
Recommendations
Distributed Layout is recommended when:
Installation flexibility is high (moving of workstation),
Load distribution is uniform: loads evenly distributed of low and homogenous unit power.
The use of BTS allows load power circuits to be combined and saves on conductors by taking advantage of a clustering coefficient. The
choice between cable and BTS, according to the clustering coefficient, allows us to find an economical optimum between investment costs,
implementation costs and operating costs.

LV Back-up Generator
Description
The electrical power supply is produced by an alternator driven by a thermal engine. Its back-up time depends on the quantity of available
fuel.
A back-up generator functions generally disconnected from the network. A source change-over system is therefore necessary. According to
the generator's capacity to supply power to all or only part of the installation, there's either total or partial redundancy.
Recommendations
Main characteristics to be considered for implementing a LV generator are:
load sensitivity to power interruption
availability of the upstream connection energy
Upstream connection energy

availability
Interruption Minimum Standard Enhanced
Sensitivity
Sheddable
No LV generator
Long interruption

The source-changeover can be automated to take into account the status of the normal and back up sources before switching.
The automatic source-changeover system requires no human intervention and switching form the normal to the replacement source takes
place in less than 1 second.
This changeover system is made up of:
- 2 or 3 circuit breakers,
- 1 mechanical and electrical interlocking system,
- 1 controller.
The controller can be of type BA or UA:

BA controller, for a simple source-changeover system (automatic switching between the normal and replacement sources depending on
theirstatus).
UA controller, for a source-changeover system integrating the following automatic functions:
- automatic switching between sources,
- control and management of engine generating sets,
- load shedding for non-priority circuits,
- switching to the replacement source if one of the phases of the normal
source is absent.
A communication option based on the Schneider internal bus is available for the UA controller.

Glossary
Service reliability
Definition: the ability of a power system to meet its supply function under stated conditions for a specified
period of time.
Different categories:
Minimum: this level of service reliability implies risk of interruptions related to constraints that are
geographical (separate network, area distant from power production centers), technical (overhead line,
poorly meshed system), or economic (insufficient maintenance, under-dimensioned generation).
Standard
Enhanced: this level of service reliability can be obtained by special measures taken to reduce the
probability of interruption (underground network, strong meshing, etc.)
Installation flexibility
Definition: possibility of easily moving electricity delivery points within the installation, or to easily increase the
power supplied at certain points. Flexibility is a criterion which also appears due to the uncertainty of the
building during the pre-project summary stage (APS).
No flexibility: the position of loads is fixed throughout the lifecycle, due to the high constraints related to the
building construction or the high weight of the supplied process. E.g.: smelting works.
Flexibility of design: the number of delivery points, the power of loads or their location are not precisely
known.
Implementation flexibility: the loads can be installed after the installation is commissioned.
Operating flexibility: the position of loads will fluctuate, according to process reorganization.
Examples:
industrial building: extension, splitting and changing usage
office building: splitting
Load distribution
Definition: a characteristic related to the uniformity of load distribution (in kVA / m) over an area, or throughout
the building.
uniform distribution: the loads are generally of an average or low unit power and spread throughout the
surface area or over a large area of the building (uniform density). E.g.: lighting, individual workstations
intermediate distribution: the loads are generally of medium power, placed in groups over the whole building
surface area. E.g.: machines for assembly, conveying, workstations, modular logistics sites
localized loads: the loads are generally high power and localized in several areas of the building (non-
uniform density). E.g.: HVAC
Power interruption sensitivity

Definition: the aptitude of a circuit to accept a power interruption
Sheddable circuit: possible to shut down at any time for an indefinite duration
Long interruption acceptable: interruption time > 3 minutes *
Short interruption acceptable: interruption time < 3 minutes *
No interruption acceptable.
Disturbance sensitivity
Definition: the ability of a circuit to work correctly in presence of an electrical power disturbance.
Page 34
A disturbance can lead to varying degrees of malfunctioning. E.g.: stopping working,

incorrect working, accelerated ageing, increase of losses, etc
Types of disturbances with an impact on circuit operations:
brown-outs,
overvoltages
voltage distortion,
voltage fluctuation,
voltage imbalance.
low sensitivity: disturbances in supply voltages have very little effect on operations. E.g.: heating device.
medium sensitivity: voltage disturbances cause a notable deterioration in operations. E.g.: motors, lighting.
high sensitivity: voltage disturbances can cause operation stoppages or even the deterioration of the
supplied equipment. E.g.: IT equipment.
The sensitivity of circuits to disturbances determines the design of shared or dedicated power circuits. Indeed it
is better to separate sensitive loads from disturbing loads. E.g.: separating lighting circuits from motor
supply circuits.
This choice also depends on operating features. E.g.: separate power supply of lighting circuits to enable
measurement of power consumption.
Environment, atmosphere
Definition: a notion taking account of all of the environmental constraints (average ambient temperature,
altitude, humidity, corrosion, dust, impact, etc.) and bringing together protection indexes IP and IK.
Standard: no particular environmental constraints
Enhanced: severe environment, several environmental parameters generate important constraints for the
installed equipment
Specific: atypical environment, requiring special enhancements
Maintainability
Definition: level of features input during design to limit the impact of maintenance actions on the operation of
the whole or part of the installation.
Minimum: the installation must be stopped to carry out maintenance operations.
Standard: maintenance operations can be carried out during installation operations, but with deteriorated
performance. These operations must be preferably scheduled during periods of low activity. Example:
several transformers with partial redundancy and load shedding.
Enhanced: special measures are taken to allow maintainance operations without disturbing the installation
operations. Example: double-ended configuration.
