1. General requirements
This specification describes the requirements for the low voltage intelligent motor control centre (IMCC). The IMCC is the equipment that provides comprehensive protection on motors by integrating intelligent motor protection relays (IPD) or intelligent protection devices (IPD) inside the MCC switchboard. The IMCC should also bundle the bus communication with the most common protocols found in industrial networks (Modbus SL / Modbus TCP / Profibus DP / DeviceNet). The IMCC offer should comply with the related national and international standards, including, but not limited to: - IEC 60439-1 - IEC 60529 - IEC 60947 The IMCC should be an equipment offer labelled with the brand name of an international company (IMCC designer), which owns the complete intellectual property of the iMCC switchboard and intelligent devices used in this offer. The IMCC should be a complete range, which provides the flexibility to choose different solutions in motor protection and monitoring functions according to the requirements of critical motors and non-critical motors and related loads. The IMCC original designer should be a worldwide well-known leader in electrical distribution and automation; it should have a rich experience in project execution, including switchboard design, manufacturing, installation and commissioning in-house or by licensed partners; it has the capability to provide training, technical support and service at a worldwide level. The know-how on both the switchboard and the protective devices should guarantee the availability and the reliability of the equipment.

2 Requirement for the switchboard

2.1 Switchboard Manufacturer The switchboard manufacturer could be the equipment plant of the IMCC original designer or a panel builder with a formal license from the IMCC original designer. All switchgear used in the switchboard shall be of the same manufacturer to allow better interoperability and installation. 2.2 Features and certificates 2.2.1 Type tests The IMCC switchboard must be a Type Tested Assembly (TTA), compliant with IEC 60439-1. The switchboard type-test certificates shall be originated by a worldwide known third-party certification organization such as ASEFA, or KEMA. The supplier should be able to provide several certificates (not only one) upon request during the project. These certificates should either reflect the switchboard characteristics or allow understanding on how these characteristics are reached. In this second case, the manufacturer shall be able to show design tables (such as derating or co-ordination tables) formally originated from the iMCC original designer. The selected switchgear and controlgear brands shall be equal to the ones mentioned in the type tests reports of the equipment. 2.2.2 Internal arc features The switchboard should be designed to minimize the risks of occurrence of an internal arc, and whenever such an arc occurs it should prevent its effect on operators and material/equipment surrounding the switchboard. It should be in conformance with the requirements of AS 3439-1. 2.2.3 Seismic features The switchboard should have the capability to withstand seismic conditions. When the switchboard is to be used in a seismic area, the manufacturer should determine the switchboard configuration according to seismic information provided by customer, which is appropriate to the stresses involved. The seismic test should be done in compliance with the UBC (Uniform Building Code) and CBC (California Building Code) regulations. The manufacturer shall be able to provide information on seismic zone (1 to 4) and installation level which the equipment is conforming to.

2.2.4 Corrosive atmosphere features The switchboard should have the ability to withstand corrosion due to Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) and Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) with necessary adaptations recommended by the iMCC original designer. Inside the equipment, the appropriate coating should be done on conductors (busbars, connections) and metal elements (mechanisms, frames, casing). Also, the electrical and electronic equipment should show a compliance class relevant to the above pollutants. The manufacturer shall consider the power circuits conductivity depending on the types of coatings used on these circuits. Upon request, the manufacturer shall be able to show the iMCC original designer specifications regarding the above mentioned facts. The level of protection on the switchboard will be in conformance with IEC 721-3-3. 2.3 Electrical and mechanical characteristics 2.3.1 Electrical - Rated insulation voltage: - Rated operational voltage: - Rated current of main busbar: - Short current withstand strength: - Internal arc withstand: 2.3.2 Mechanical - Form: - IP: - Cable Entry: - Access: 2.4 Switchboard structure 2.4.1 Busbar To facilitate the connections and cable access, the main busbar should be installed at the top or bottom of the columns, with the design allowing for front or back cables connection, via the top or bottom plates. All these interfacing possibilities should remain available even with no busbar position change. The main busbar should be made of copper bars spliced at each column level in order to achieve simplicity and flexibility in transportation, installation and maintenance. Sliding fishplates should be used to make the connection of the copper bars between columns.

1000 Vac up to 690 Vac up to 6300A up to 100kA/1s, 220kA peak. 85 kA

2.4.2 Functional units (FU) The IMCC offer should provide diverse functional units according to the different application requirements. Full withdrawable functional units (WWW) are preferred for motor starters to achieve easy operation and maintenance. There should be clear position indicators of the drawer, which indicate the connected, test and disconnected position. The drawer should provide an effective mechanical latch to prevent incorrect operation to avoid unexpected position changing from one position to another. The drawers should have the feasibility to be locked by 3 padlocks to prevent unauthorized insertion/withdrawal or OPEN / CLOSE operation. In case that two drawers are of the same dimensions there shall be, as an option, a mechanical mean to prevent unwanted interchangeability of these drawers. Software-only means will not be accepted. The size of functional units should be optimised to achieve high stacking density of switchboard. The switchboard shall have the capability to accommodate 23 drawers of 9kW with bus communication. It is acceptable to use fixed type functional units to achieve high stacking density when necessary. 2.5 Derating To ensure that all components work in appropriate conditions, the influence of the ambient temperature and switchboard IP must be taken into account in the design of the switchboard. To ensure the reliability, the switchboard manufacturer must be able to provide, when requested, the derating table of starters, formally originated from the iMCC original manufacturer showing the current value allowed for the dedicated components under a certain combination of ambient temperature, IP degree and voltage.

It is acceptable to use the thermal relay the other motors, but the IPD and thermal relay used in the offer should be from the same supplier. For motors with ratings up to 15 kW the IPD must be an all-in-one device; i.e., it will include the breaking, isolation, control and protection functions, ensuring Total Coordination. For motors with ratings higher than 15 kW, a three products architecture, i.e., circuit breaker + contactor + protection is acceptable as far as Coordination Type 2 is ensured. 3.1 IPD supplier The IPD supplier should have a valid ISO 9001 (2000 version) certification and a certified quality assurance system. The supplier shall have the Environment Certification ISO 14001 and shall be able to supply the Product Environmental Profile (P.E.P) upon customer request. The supplier must have a local representative office with qualified support staff to provide training, technical support and service. 3.2 Functionality Please refer to chapter 4 and chapter 5 for the IPD function requirements for critical motors and non-critical motors. 3.3 Communication The IPD should provide the communication ports for the connection to the communication network. It should be easily integrated into the communication architecture with remote information access. It shall be an open communications system, which means that it shall be directly connected to the main industrial network protocols, listed below: - ModBus SL - ModBus / Ethernet - Profibus DP - DeviceNet
