EvoPacT Circuit Breaker and Breaker Compartment

EvoPacT MV circuit breakers move on side-mounted rollers supported on rails inside the cell. Circuit breakers can roll on bottom-mounted wheels outside the cell.

Circuit Breaker Compartment, 1200 A and 2000 A

These are mounted in a one- or two-high structure, and auxiliary devices can be mounted above a circuit breaker in a single high structure. Instruments can be mounted on the door in front of the circuit breaker.

Doors are standard left-hand hinged and come with two thumb screws per door. Doors are also available with a latching system. Please see your sales representative for more information. Through-door racking is standard on the circuit breaker. For details on through-door indicator position see Instruction Bulletin NNZ9886800.

Circuit Breaker Racking Mechanism

The racking mechanism, racking port, and position indicator are integrated on the circuit breaker. To help reduce the risk of personnel exposure to live medium voltage components, every circuit breaker compartment is equipped with a mechanical trip pushbutton operable with the front door closed.

The mechanical trip pushbutton enables manual tripping of the circuit breaker. It is also interlocked with the racking port to allow for manual racking in the event that power is lost, and operations cannot be performed electrically. The mechanical trip pushbutton also comes with padlock provision.

Through-the-door racking is standard, and the door must be closed when racking the device from one position to another. The racking port can also be padlocked.

Further information on the circuit breaker racking mechanism, racking port, and position indicator can be found in JYT3013100, EvoPacT™ Medium Voltage Vacuum Circuit Breaker (VCB) User Guide.

MOC Switch (Mechanism Operated Contacts)

  • Mounted on left-hand side above each circuit breaker in the circuit breaker compartment 25–40 kA

  • Operates in the Test and Connected Positions as standard

  • 10 contacts as standard, 13 contacts available

  • Rated to 10,000 Cycles.

TOC Switch (Truck Operated Contacts)

  • Mounted on right-hand side above each circuit breaker in the circuit breaker compartment up to 25 and 40 kA

  • Auxiliary Contacts same as MOC

  • 10 contacts as standard

  • Rated to 1,000 Cycles

Current Transformers (CTs)

CTs are front-accessible, bushing/window-type, 600 V rated, single- or multi-ratio CTs can be mounted in the compartment around the insulating tubes of the line or load-side primary high-voltage contact bushing assembly. A maximum of four CTs, depending on accuracy, can be mounted per phase—two on the line side and two on the load side.

  • 1 or 2 standard-accuracy CTs on line and/or load side or

  • 1 high-accuracy CT on one side, plus 1 or 2 standard-accuracy CTs on the other.

Please reach out to your Schneider Electric representative for more information.

Auxiliary Compartments-Control Power Transformers, Voltage Transformers, and Low Power Voltage Transformers

Both VT and CPT drawers are available with extension rails for ease of maintenance and access. The extension rails can be retracted in and out to allow the VTs and CPTs to slide out from their compartment and rest on the rails for easy inspection, maintenance, installation, or replacement. Extension rails are fully extendable and support the weight of the drawer.

  • Instruments can be mounted on the door in front of auxiliary device drawers.

  • To help protect cable-connected auxiliary devices, use copper bus bars that are fully insulated with epoxy coating for the primary connections between the main or cable bus and the VT and CPT compartments. Connections may also be made with shielded MV cables. Please speak with your sales representative for more information.

  • Wiping ground contacts are standard.

  • Manual operation is the standard for VT and CPT drawers. Drawers can be upgraded to motorized racking for ease of maintenance to help reduce risk to personnel. The door must be closed when racking the drawer from one position to another. The racking port can be padlocked.

  • Through-door racking is also available.

LPVT

Voltage Transformer Details

  • Customers can select up to three 5 kV or 15 kV VTs. For increased space savings, LPVTs (Low Power Voltage Transformers) are also available and are mounted behind the LV box. See LPVT Application Sheet or reach out to your Schneider Representative for more details.

Control Power Transformer Details

  • 5, 10, or 15 kVA single-phase CPTs are available.

  • The secondary circuit breaker on the drawout truck is mechanically interlocked.

  • Padlock provision is standard

Low Power Voltage Transformers

Low Power Voltage Transformers are voltage sensors based on resistor dividers for low power digital protection and measuring devices, LPVT provide a low voltage output signal compatible with the new generation of digital relays and secondary equipment with high input impedance.

Due to its reduced size and weight, it brings an easy installation compared with standard VT and allows to have bigger instrument compartments because of the removal of the traditional VT drawer solutions.

Benefits of LPVTS include:

  • Insensitive to core saturation due to over-voltages and ferroresonance free due to lack of magnetic cores

  • No issues for short-circuits on secondary side.

  • Can support the protection function 25 - Synchronizing or Synchronism-Check Device.

  • No need of MV fuses

  • Cost saving solution during planning and execution due to the ability to serve a wider range of applications with fewer models. This leads to easier specification and design for consultants and reduces required inventory for integrators, resulting in potentially shorter lead times for end users.

  • The same product reference can guarantee both metering and protection purpose with a wide operating voltage range.

Application Details

A quantity of 3 for each cubicle that requires LPVTs shall be used and connected phase to ground. Each LPVT is provided with a shielded RJ45 cable.

1 x LPVT HUB EMS59573 is required in all cubicles featuring LPVTs and it shall be mounted in the LV box, the signals coming from the 3 LPVTs are merged into this HUB.

In case the required protection relay/meter/voltage sensing device does not feature a LPVTs input option, the transducer P7M12025 is required to connect the LPVTs to the device voltage inputs. A power supply is required for this transducer and shall be UL Listed Class 2 or an Industrial Control Low Voltage Limited Energy Power Supply

 LPVT and standard VT cradle/drawers cannot be used in the same line-up.

See LPVT application and specification sheet for more details E85875.

LPVT for nominal system voltage ranging from 2.4kV to 6.9kV, 3 required LPVT17A
LPVT for nominal system voltage 12kV to 14.4kV, 3 required LPVT24
Easergy range LPVT voltage HUB, 1 required EMS59573
LPVT Transducer Only when the protecting device does not have LPVT input. Multiple protecting devices can be connected to the transducers up to max. burden allowed P7M1202
