WARNING !
Medium voltage switchgear is safe and effective when proper precautions are taken.
Hazardous voltage and energy levels exist and may cause death or injury if precautions are
not followed
1. Never work around live or energized bus. Do not remove bolted cover, bolted doors, or
bolted access plates when the equipment is energized. Live bus is enclosed behind
metal panel and these panels should not be removed unless the bus is de-energized.
2. Never use a circuit breaker rated at a different voltage from the equipment. Never use a
lower interrupting rating than the system is designed for.
3. Only qualified personnel should maintain or operate switchgear. Maintenance

personnel should be qualified to work around medium voltage equipment and familiar
with switchgear in general. Operators should be trained in the proper use of switchgear
and it’scomponents. Both should have electrical shock and burn medical training.
4. Do not life shutters when switchgear is energized. Dangerous voltage exists behind
shutters. They are automatically close when breaker is removed to prevent accidental
contact.
5. Do not insert partially disassembled breakers, test breakers, ground and test devices or
other items into an energized cell. Tests using these devices must only be conducted
when main bus is de-energized.
6. Never manually close a circuit breaker into a live circuit.
7. Never disconnect or open the secondary circuit of current transformers when they are
on energized circuits. High voltages will develop between contacts. Keep spare current
transformers shorted on their secondary circuit.
8. When circuits are opened for maintenance, repair or inspection, lock circuit breakers or
disconnect switches in the open position and tag or mark to let others know that it is
locked open for safety purpose. In addition, bus should be grounded to prevent
accidents due to accidental closure or back feeding.

1 SWITCHGEAR DESCRIPTION
This instruction manual describes general and basic matters required for packing, storage,
installation, operation, maintenance and inspection of the product to secure safety of
operator and optimal operation of the product.
The manual shall be known well in parallel with relevant drawings and documents
provided additionally.
Metal-clad switchgear is a form of protection for power distribution systems.
The major elements in metal-clad switchgear are the circuit breakers, bus and cable,
relays, control equipments and the metal-clad structure itself.
All elements have different functions but their combined purpose is to deliver power with
minimum outages while at the same time reacting quickly to interrupt short circuit currents
before serious damage can occur to other devices.
Circuit breakers are the actual circuit interruption devices. In a typical system each feeder
will have a separate circuit breaker while each incoming line will also have a breaker.
These are designed to limit the fault current through them while at the same time allow
normal currents to flow.
Bus and cable are the actual method of power distribution. Current flows through them
and they are insulated from ground and each other as appropriate for their voltage level.
Relays are the sensors of the system. They react to voltage, current, frequency, or other
system conditions. When those conditions match predetermined levels the relays will
initiate tripping of the appropriate breakers.
Control equipment is used to check or control system parameters. Lights indicate if

breakers are open or closed. Control switches will open or close breakers, enable or disable
relays or devices or determine operational modes [i.e. remote or manual or automatic.].
Meters will show voltage, currents, frequencies, or other relevant parameters.

The structure of switchgear services multiple functions. It protects all the elements from
damage or environmental influences. It protects a person from voltages and energies that is
harmful. It isolates sections of the switchgear from each other.
Finally in supports the various devices and provides a mounting position for them.
The equipment is designed for exposure to dripping liquids but dripping liquids can
destroy the integrity of the insulation and must be avoid.

3 RECEIVING, TRANSPORTATION & STORAGE
Based on the requirements of the contract, LS-VINA perform freight forwarding

appropriate.
3.1 Receiving
When the electrical panels to place regulations, stakeholders need to check the status of
electrical cabinets and sign the minutes of the freight forwarders. Any damage that occurs
during shipping process, stakeholders based on contractual provisions to require repair or
compensation.
Note small items may be packed with larger ones.
3.2 TRANSPORTATION.
Before handling refer to the drawings for approximate weight of shipping sections. Use
only equipment rated for lifting the weights involved, and crews skilled with heavy lifting
of large electrical equipment.
Use proper equipment lifting weight requirements.
Allows the use of roller skating bottom barrel to move the electrical panels.
After uncrating the switchgear shipping sections should be moved by cranes using chain
and spreader bars. Breakers generally have their own lifting eyes.
Dragging of skidding switchgear along the ground may damage foundations, warp
enclosure and fling dirt of rocks into the switchgear.
Improper lifting or failure to use spreader bars may cause damage to the enclosure by
applying a compressive lateral force. Improperly rated lifting equipment or untrained crews
may drop or bend switchgear causing breakage, warp-age and misalignment.

4 INSTALLATION
4.1 Instalation
On commencement of installation on site, the switch-room must be completely finished,

provided with lighting and the electricity supply, lockable, dry and with facilities for
ventilation.
All the necessary preparations, such as well openings, ducts, etc., for laying the power
and control cables up to the switchgear must already be complete.
Where switchgear panels have top-mounted structures for earthing switches or

instrument transformers, it must be ensured that ceiling height is sufficient for the opening
travel of the pressure relief plates.
4.2 Foundations
Before placing the switchgear the foundation must be poured and settled. The mounting
area of the switchgear should be level to plus or minus 2mm
This is true whether switchgear is mounted directly to the pad, is resting on imbedded
rails or any other type of mounting.
An area stretching 1.2m in front of the switchgear must be leveled to plus or minus 3mm
for indoor switchgear.
Unlevel foundation may cause improper operation of doors and potential transformer
cabinets. Weatherproof seals may not align correctly.
If not ensure flatness of the floor in front of the indoor switchgear systems will interfere in
the opening and closing the door, moving breakers and potential transformer compartments.

For indoor switchgear not to be swayed (eg: cable tray hole, wiring, earth cable ...) the
strengthening plate on top of the concrete layer, including holes system in there.
This problem needs to be stopped before the equipment is installed. When installed
outdoors switchgear must be sealed. (eg: cable tray holes, wiring, earth cable ...)
All work for concrete foundations need to be prepared before placing the electrical
switchgear.
These jobs involves flattening the ground, drill holes and set anchor bolts
Add to that the problems of the physical layer of concrete after placing the switchgear, the
surface layer of concrete dust may cause damage to the switchgear.

4.4.5 Primary cable connection

In case of connecting primary cables to terminal or bus, the followings should be observed;
 Before connecting the incoming cable, open the primary circuit breaker at first.
 Remove the cover plate for incoming cable and then pull the incoming cable up to
the terminal end of the circuit breaker sufficiently.
 Considering diameter and number of the incoming cable, perforate a penetration
hole for cable entrance. Especially, in case of using cable gland, perforate a
penetration hole based on outer diameter of the gland.
 Within the panel, the length of the incoming cable shall be adjusted in
consideration of the extent of wire bending radius. In case of bending the incoming
cable almost perpendicularly at lower part of panel, pay attention not to destroy
insulation of the cable.
 Penetrate the incoming cable through the perforated cover plate and fix to it.
 At the connection of the cable to the terminal, refer to the mounting bolt torque
standard in ‘Table 4’ for the extent of bolt fastening.
 When connecting the power cable, it is recommended to treat ending part with
termination kit (RAYCHEM, 3M or equipment). Refer to the following figure for
the distance from the ending part;

4.4.7 Pre-operational Testing And Inspections

During factory testing the switchgear underwent complete functional testing of the
control and metering circuits, megger and hipot testing of the main bus and an inspection
to assure it was correct and complete. When the equipment is assembled in the field it is
important to conduct tests to assure that the switchgear has been correctly reassembled.
4.4.8 Primary circuits

It is recommended that the primary bus be meggered prior to energization. A minimum
of 50 megohms should be measured to ground and phase to phase. It may be necessary to
disconnect potential transformer fuses as potential transformers are usually tried together
in a delta or wye.
High potential testing is not required but if desired it should be followed according to
IEC. Standards. Potential and control power transformers must be disconnected during
this test.
Circuit breakers should be meggered prior to energization. Phase to phase and phase to
ground insulation resistance must be at least 50 megohms.
4.4.9 Setting relay.

Each power distribution system has its own characteristics and relay settings should
correspond to those characteristics. Relay setting insulations are given in the instruction
book for particular types of relays. Setting should be coordinated within the switchgear,
and to devices upstream and downstream of the switchgear.

5 OPERATION

5.6 Measuring and protective

Measurement and protection functions will automatic measure and record the parameters
of the system. If there is any change in the system exceeds the preset limit, the relay will
disconnect the circuit breakers suitable (the circuit breaker have value exceeds the preset
value). In some cases, these relays can be manually restored. Even some relays can to key
"lockout" relay to protect the circuit breaker. This type of protection is kept until the
"lockout" relay has been set again. Refer to electrical circuits drawings for clearing
understand about protection relay system.

5.7 The heater.
The heater will work even in normal conditions. The heater helps reduce the moisture
condensation by raising the temperature in the switchgear up a little higher than the
ambient temperature. So if the heater is damaged, replace them as soon as possible. The
recommended thermostat settings in step 40C.
[Figure 5.7 Sensors and temperature control]

6 TESTING AND INSPECTION
After the equipment has been installed and all connections have been made, it should be
tested and inspected before putting it in service. The equipment and devices have been
made to ensure that the equipment has been properly installed and that all connections are
correct.
Guidance of testing devices such as relays, instruments and meters are given in the
instruction attached with O& M manual.The settings of the protective relay must be set
according to relay’s setting table
The operation of the breaker with its associated devices may be tested in the unit while
the equipment is energized by racking the breaker into the test position and engaging the
secondary coupler.
High potential tests to check the integrity of the insulation are notnecessary if the
insulation instructions in this book are carefully followed.
If the purchaser desire to make high potential tests, the test voltage should not exceed
75% of factory test voltage in accordance with IEC.
Potential transformers, and control power transformers, must be disconnectedduring high
voltage testing

7 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Before operating or working on any electrical equipment. Read this manual carefully to
understand those function and how to handle it safely.
In this manual, safety precautions are ranked into two types;
[DANGER] and [CAUTION]these two ranks are defined as follows
A danger notic with this symbol indicates that neglecting the suggested procedure or
practice could be fatal or result in serious personal injury.
A caution notice with this symbol indicates that neglecting the suggested procedure
or practice could result in moderate or slight personal injury and/or property damage.
Note that failing to observe caution notices could in serious injury/damage in some
situations.
Because safety notices contain important safety information, be sure to read and
observe them.
7.1. Operate Electrical Machinery and Apparatus
In order to prevent accidents, anyone handling electrical machinery and apparatus must
be thoroughly acquainted with the precautions noted below and with those in section 2.
Most accidents can be prevented by being careful. Always observe these precautions.

to avoid electric shock or a short circuit? (Accidents can be caused by dropping such
objects as metal tools, flashlights, or other conductive materials)
Working Preparations
Treat electrical equipment as highly flammable material at all times
 Do not smoke or use a flame in the vicinity of the equipment.
 Wear a helmet, safety shoes and work clothes when working on the
equipment.
 Cut off the power supply
 Otherwise there is the danger of electric shock from live bus-bars and
other current carrying parts when the switchgear or other electrical
panel is opened.
 Make sure there is no voltage in the circuit before any electrical work
is done. And make panel ground (Use a voltmeter/circuit tester or the
like)
 Never work on live part. (Except in an emergency)
 Before working, think carefully about the steps you will take, inspect
the surroundings for any possible dangers, and inform your associates
of what you plan to do. Then work quickly and efficiently.
 Provide sufficient lighting for the work area.
 Maintain an orderly work area. Do not scatter tools or other articles
about.
 Learn the proper way to use a circuit tester and other necessary tools.
 Read and understand section 2. “Electric Shock Prevention”
Inspection and Maintenance

● Daily inspection
- Check appearance for any damage, Pay special attention for noise, bad odor
and discoloration.
● Periodic Inspection
- Check each bus bar fixing section, device mounting section and wiring
section for any looseness. If any looseness is found, fasten the fixed bolts
again.
- Check appearance of each device (vacuum circuit breaker, vacuum contactor,
protective relay, current & potential transformer, fuse, module card, etc.) for
any missing or damage. If any failure or damage is found, replace with the
spare parts.
- Check each device (vacuum circuit breaker, vacuum contactor, protective
relay, current & potential transformer, fuse, module card, etc.) for noise, bad
odor of discoloration. If any noise, bad odor or discoloration is found, replace
with the spare parts.
- Check the mechanical operating section of each device (vacuum circuit
breaker, vacuum contactor, protective relay, etc.) for any mechanical
malfunction in operation. If any malfunction is found, replace with the spare
parts.
.
7.1.2 Precautions for Hot-line Work
Never perform hot-line work unless it is unavoidable. If repair of live circuits or

electrical devices is unavoidable, gain a thorough under-standing of section 2. “Electric
Shock Prevention” and obey the precautions listed below.
A NGER
DA
Hot-line Work
Treat electrical equipment as highly flammable material at all times.
● In the presence and/or under the supervision of competent supervisor, perform the
work while observing the following preparatory steps.
- Provide sufficient lighting for the work area.
- Remove wristwatches, rings, and other metal articles from the body.
- Wear long sleeve work clothes that fit close to the body, and make sure
clothing and shoes are dry.

- Insulate yourself from the body, and place insulating material over any
devices or structural components which may be accidentally touched.
- Cover tools with vinyl tape as wherever possible.
- When doing electrical work, cover live part with insulating material or safety
shutter to protect against dropped tools and scrap-wire, and inadvertent touch
of live part.
- Place insulation between the live section of the circuit and the section to be
worked on.
- Wear rubber gloves on both hands (and wear rubber boots).
● Work with the right hand as much as possible, and take care not to lose your
balance.A loss of balance due to the movement of the ship can cause an accident.
● Station someone who can cut the power off immediately in an emergency, and
establish a signal between yourself and that person.
7.1.3 Guidelines for Fire Extinguishing

In the event of an electrical fire, quickly perform the following procedures.
Fire Extinguishing
● Cut off the power to the circuit or device from which the fire began.
● Cut off the power to other circuit or devices which may be damaged by the fire,
including those which could be damaged if the fire spreads.
● Do not cut off power to any devices which could cause a serious accident if
deprived of power.
● Inform your supervisor and anyone close to the area of the fire.
● Use a fire extinguisher (powder or halide type) to fight the fire
In s small room or section, there is the danger or asphyxiation from the
fireextinguishing material, so be careful to avoid this.
In this case of electrical fires, always cut off the power supply first.
Take a good look around and think before working. Then work fasts to stop the
spreading of the fire.
● Be careful when using water to extinguish an electrical fire.
The person fighting the fire could be electrocuted by current flow through the
water.
This is especially true of seawater but also true of fresh water.
● Think carefully when choosing between seawater and a fire extinguisher.
Once electrical devices have come in contact with seawater it is difficult to
restore them to their original condition.
In some cases, a fire extinguisher is the best choice even if it requires more time
than seawater to put out the file.

7.1.4 Maintenance and Inspection of Vacuum Circuit Breakers and Vacuum Contactor
!
CAUTION
Maintenance of VCB & VC
See the operating instructions of the particular breaker for correct maintenance,
inspection, and replacement procedures.
For some types and mounting configurations, the entire switchgear must be source cut
off to perform the work for [Fixed type].
For others, only a restricted area of the switchgear must be cut off for [Draw-out type].
7.1.5 Precautions for Circuit Breaker Operation
DANGER
Circuit Breaker Operation
● Before operating circuit breakers switches, confirm the following to avoid putting
others in danger.
- There will be no problems if any or all devices in the circuit receive power.
- There are no other workers working on the same circuit.
If there are other workers working on the same circuit, inform them of what
breaker or switch you will be operating and advise their caution.
- The protective devices (protective relay, fuses, etc.) of all circuit are in order.
● Operate breakers and switches in the following manner.
- Perform all operations with the right hand.
Except for operations requiring both hands, keep the left hand back and away
from the breaker or switch.
- Operate knife switch and the like with one quick motion.
7.1.6 Precautions for Protective relay

could be produced in the secondary side current flows through the primary side.
Periodically check the connections of the secondary side for tightness
7.1.8 Precautions for Changing Fuses
DANGER
Changing Fuses
● Changing fuses
- When removing a fuse unscrew the fuse cap carefully.
- While inserting the fuse into the fuse clip, do not allow the conductive part of
the fuse to touch the between adjacent fuse clip and this fuse clip.
- Otherwise, a short-circuit accident could result!
- When changing a fuse, do not make contact with nearby charged devices or
with any other live part, (i.e. bus-line etc.).
- Otherwise, electric shock could result!
● Selecting the right spare
- Use a spare of the same type and rated current as the blown fuse.
7.1.9 Precautions for changing Relay(auxiliary relays, time limit relays, etc.)
!
CAUTION
Changing Relays
● Changing the relay
- Remove the power supply miniature circuit breaker (MCB) or fuse for the
circuit containing the relay to cut off the voltage to the circuit.
- For a starter control circuit, set the MCCB for the starter circuit power supply
to OFF.
- Change the repay.

● Selecting the right spare

- Use a spare of the same type, rated current, and contact configuration as the
previously used relay.
7.1.10 Other Precautions
!
CAUTION
Other Precautions
● Keep front doors and back covers or doors closed except when it is necessary to
open them.
● Immobilize the moving parts by fastening or door stopper of front doors or relay
racks and rear cover or door of the switchgear while electrical work is being done.
● Do not remove protective plates or protective covers except for absolutely necessary.
If they must be removed, be sure to return them to their proper positions.
● Do not leave any tools or work materials on or around the switchboard or starter
panel after work has been completed.
● Always discharge capacitors before working on capacitor circuits.
7.2 Electrical Shock Prevention

7.2.1 General Information on Electric Shock
● The Danger of Electricity
● Receiving an electric shock is extremely dangerous.
Even a relatively small amount current can be fatal if it passes through the head,
lungs, or other vital organ.
● 100V AC is more dangerous than is generally thought.
● At 100V AC, 60/50 Hz, even a 50milliamperes (mA) is dangerous and 50~100mA
can cause a fatal electric shock.
● The Symptoms of an Electric Shock Victim
The symptoms described below must be treated immediately with artificial
respiration or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) until the victim recovers.
These are symptoms of electric shock and should not be confused with death. It
is not unusual for a person suffering from these symptoms to recover even after
several hours of artificial respiration or cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
The Symptoms are listed in order from mild to most serious case.
- Breathing stops.
- Normal breathing can usually be restored after continuing artificial
respiration for a short while.
- Breathing stops, face is pallid, and pulse is very weak or undetectable.

- Totally unconscious.
In the worst of cases, the body of the victim may become rigid within two or
three minutes after the shock.
7.2.2 Prevention of Electric Shock

Anyone who is operating or performs maintenance or repairs on electricalequipment, or
anyone who supervises people doing such work, and take the following measures to
prevent electric shock accidents.
DANGER
Prevention of Electric Shock
● Never assume there is no voltage applied to the circuit until the voltage has been
confirmed (measured).
● Always cut off the power supply and confirm that there is no voltage applied to the
circuit before any electrical work is done. Most accidents occur because the
power is mistakenly assumed to be off.
● Always use rubber gloves, rubber boots, and an insulation mat when doing
electrical work.
● Tag the power supply switch when doing electrical work.
● (ex. "Do Not Turn on Power: Maintenance Work")
● If someone turns on the power while maintenance work is being done, and
accident could occur.
● Operate switches with the right hand while holding the left hand back and always
from the body.
● Station people in such strategic places as near the switchboard in order cut off the
power immediately if an accident occurs

8 MAINTENANCE
8.1 General
Maintenance serves to preserve trouble-free operation and achieve the longest possible
working life of the switchgear. It comprises the following closely related activities;
Inspection : Determination of the actual condition

Servicing : Measures to preserve the specified condition
Repair : Measures to restore the specified condition
Note:
When carrying out all maintenance work, the regulations in the country of installation
must be strictlycomplied with.
Maintenance work may only be performed in a careful manner by trained personnel

familiar with thecharacteristics of the individual switchgear, in accordance with all relevant
IEC safety regulations andthose of other technical authorities, and with other overriding
instructions. It is recommended that LSIS service personnel be called in to perform the
servicing and repair work detailed below.
The inspection and servicing intervals for some of the equipment/components (e.g. parts
subjects towear) are determined by fixed criteria, such as switching frequency, length of
service and number ofshort-circuit breaking operations. On the other hand, for other parts
the length of the intervals maydepend, for example, on the different modes of operation in
individual cases, the degree of loading,and also environmental influences (including
pollution and aggressive air).
8.2 Classification of Periodic Inspection

● Where necessary, the working area must be isolated and secured against
reconnection in accordancewith the Safety Regulations specified by IEC and
appropriate national standards before inspection.
● Correct condition of the switchgear should be monitored by regular inspections.
● Under normal operating conditions, inspection should be carried out once every
four years byspecially trained professional electricians.

● Under abnormal operating conditions (including adverse climatic conditions)

and/or specialenvironmental stresses (heavy pollution and aggressive atmosphere,
among others), inspectionmay be necessary at shorter intervals.
● Inspection is primarily to carry out a visual check for grime, corrosion and
moisture:
● Effects of high temperature on the main circuits.
● Traces of partial discharge on the insulating material parts.
● Traces of leakage current on the insulating material parts.
● Surfaces of the contact systems.
● However, inspection must also to include correct mechanical/electrical operation
of the followingparts: switching devices, actuating, interlocking, protection and
signaling devices.
Caution!
Instrument transformer circuit

● With regard to the switching devices, their separate Instruction manual should be
followed.
● Check all switchgear accessories and auxiliary devices (e.g. storage batteries).
● No partial discharge must occur on the surfaces of equipment at operating voltage.
This can, forexample, be detected by characteristic noises, a clearly perceptible
smell of ozone, or visible glowingin the dark.
● Visually checking the contact system. We recommend to turn the contact system
alternately in orderto clean the inner contact points of the contact system.
The contact points should be cleaned if signs of overheating (discolored surface)
are visible.
● If any irregular conditions are detected, then relative repair measures must be
taken.

※ Note :
 Choose the inspection period after consideration of above inspection periods and
the subject equipment. Because the inspection period is influenced by the
environment, operating conditions, importance of equipment, and the time
elapsed.
 Under the uninterruption of power, it is possible to check the switchgear door
opened and it is recommended to check with door opened once a month.
 Interruption of power is unusual, but inspection with interruption of power is
recommended every two years.
8.2.1 Visual inspection

To ascertain that, under normal operating conditions, switchgear appearsworking
correctly.To check that metering instruments and indicating lamps arefunctioning, it is
recommended that this inspection should beundertaken as an internal part to regular
routine operational checks that are to be conducted at the swtchgear.
8.2.2 Planned inspections

These inspections are considered as planned examinations that arerequired to confirm
that system components are functioning asrequired. The inspections are scheduled, taking
into account operating requirement, environmental conditions etc, at regular intervals

with precise work instructions and systematic checks to be undertaken.
8.2.3 Planned inspections routine

This consists of periodical inspections on a monthly and annual basis.
8.2.4 Monthly inspections

These involve visual inspections which require the opening of doors which are
admissible without interrupting the supply, and where necessary.
● Indication lamp replacement
● Correct any observed abnormality in the normal
8.2.5 Annual inspections

These require a full operational test to be performed ensuring allequipment is fully and
efficiently operable without any abnormalities.
All equipment and components should be inspected according tomanufacturer’s data.
Where equipment is required to maintain its supply, caution should beexercised when
inspecting.
If a full inspection is not possible as energization needs to bemaintained then a visual
inspection should be performed, and a fulloperational inspection must be rescheduled for
more convenient time in the near future.
8.3 Maintenance and Repair of Equipment

Restrictions imposed by the equipment should be highlight where applicable.
8.3.1 Isolating procedure of the main bus bar for SWGR.

● Open the main circuit breaker bus de-energized.
● Check the no-voltage of bus and earth to necessary spot andcheck the de-
energization by voltage test meter.
● Discharge the remaining current from the capacitor to earthafter a 2 min period has
elapsed after isolation if necessary.
● Prevention of mis-operation should be ensured by locking of thecircuit breaker of
disconnect in the "OFF" position and positingof warning signs "MEN AT
WORK".

Caution!
Without power interrupting from distribution transformer secondary side, do not
remove a insulation cover surrounded main incoming bus bar
8.3.2 General safety procedures
