 DESCRIPTION

The DC breaker panel type MBS-HD is a modular concept cubicle which

integrates different functions and equipment in three compartments:
y Rear high-voltage busbar compartment
y Protection and control system
y High-speed circuit breaker trolley

Rear high-voltage busbar compartment

The high-voltage compartment is at the rear of the cubicle. It contains

the main busbar, cable connections, voltage and current measuring
and, where applicable, disconnector switches.

Control and protection system

The control and protection system is located at the front of the cubicle. MBS-HD feeder panel
This low-voltage compartment contains low-voltage components and
ensures the protection through the SEPCOS control & protection relay.

High-speed circuit breaker trolley

The high-speed circuit breaker (Sécheron UR series) is mounted on a

removable four-wheeled trolley which can be easily withdrawn from the
cubicle. The trolley also contains the line test device equipment. The
HSCB is connected to the auxiliary circuits thanks to an unpluggable
multiple connector and the breaker is connected to the high-voltage
busbars by power finger connectors. All trolleys are exchangeable by
one of the same type and are easy to manoeuvre.
Active equipment is located on the trolley.

Trolley positions

The withdrawable high-speed circuit breaker trolley has four positions:

– Service position
– Test position MBS-HD feeder trolley
– Disconnected position
– Removed position

When the trolley is in service position, the front high-voltage door is

locked and it is not possible to access the trolley. When high-voltage is
applied to the breaker, it must be open before the trolley can be moved
from service to test position.

The trolley is moved from one position to another either manually by an

external handle or electrically via the SEPCOS touch screen display. In
this way, user’s security is ensured. Trolleys can be encoded to ensure
that they cannot be exchanged for a trolley of another type.

Optional: Motorized trolley

The motorized trolley is an available option that allows the trolley to be

disconnected remotely, thus replacing the line isolating disconnecting
switch. Motor is embedded on the trolley.
