Saves Lives: How? All operations behind closed door 1. All switching operations including emergency manual operations 2. Feeder earthing 3. Rack-in / rack-out operation of Switching device truck. 4. Not- Emergency manual charging of VCB operating mechanism.

Saves Lives: How? Front door interlocks 1. Racking of VCB truck from Test to Service position not possible until the front door is closed and locked. 2. Front door cannot be closed and locked until the LV control plug is securely connected. 3. Front door cannot be opened until the VCB is switched OFF and racked out in Test position.

Saves Lives: How? Partition class: PM 1. Earthed metallic shutters and partitions ensure partition class PM. 2. Class PM ensures no electric field in the opened compartment and no electrical field change in the adjacent compartments. 3. Thus partition class PM ensures safe maintenance when the switching device chamber is opened while keeping the busbars as well as cables under charged conditions.

Saves Lives: How? What is an internal arc? It is a high resistance arc fault within the switchgear enclosure due to insulation failure. What are the effects of an internal arc fault? The fault current passing through the electric arc increases the air temperature inside the faulty compartment. The hot air expands and exerts very high pressure on the compartment walls and doors. If the switchgear is not designed and qualified for an internal arc, the high pressure can rupture the enclosure and endangers the life of persons working near the switchgear.

This is what will happen if the switchgear Saves Lives: How? This is what will happen if the switchgear is not designed and qualified for internal arc. start Internal Arc Test.mpg Film Imagine what will happen to your operator.

Saves Lives: How? What happens when there is an arc fault in an Internal Arc Classified switchgear as per IEC 62271-200. Correctly secured door and covers do not open. No fragmentation of the enclosure occurs within the time specified for the test. Arcing doesn’t cause holes in the accessible sides up to a height of 2 m. Cotton test indicators do not ignite due to the effect of hot gases. The enclosure remains connected to its earthing point.

If this failure happened in your SIMOPRIME, no one would even be hurt. Saves Lives: How? If this failure happened in your SIMOPRIME, no one would even be hurt.
