In each of its units, Schneider Electric integrates a functional organization
whose main role is to check quality and monitor compliance with standards.
This procedure is:
b uniform throughout all departments;
b recognized by many customers and approved organizations.
But above all, it is its strict application that has allowed us to obtain
the recognition of an independent organization:
The French Quality Assurance Association (AFAQ).
The quality system for the design and manufacture of MCset
is certified to be in conformity with the requirements
of ISO 9001 : 2000 quality assurance standards.

The cubicle
The cubicle is of LSC2B (Loss of Service Continuity Category) type as defined by
IEC standard 62271-200, in other words the medium voltage parts are
compartmented using metal partitions (PM class) which are connected to earth and
which separate:
b the busbars;
b the withdrawable part (circuit-breaker, fuse-contactor, disconnector truck or
earthing truck);
b MV connections, earthing switch, current sensors and voltage transformers as
required.
MCset guarantees a high level of protection of people; when a compartment
containing a main circuit is open, the other compartments and/or functional units may
remain energised.
The low voltage auxiliaries and monitoring unit are in a control cabinet separated
from the medium voltage section.
Four basic cubicle layouts are offered:
b incomer or feeder AD
b line up bussection CL - GL
b busbar metering and earthing TT
b switch-fuse feeder DI
AD and CL cubicles have withdrawable vacuum type circuit-breaker and contactor
switchgear.

MCset
Basic version (gas exhaust): MCset is designed to eliminate the effects of internal
arcing in total safety, due to:
b metal flaps positioned above the enclosure, which in the case of internal fault,
limit overpressure in the compartments.
b nonflammable materials used for the cubicle.
Options
b disarming of circuit-breaker when racking out. This function enables
the circuit-breaker control springs to be disarmed during the extraction
operation.
b disabling of racking in. This function disables the possibility of racking
the withdrawable part in if the busbar is energized.

This innovative system has been specifically designed for the MCset range.
It incorporates fibre optic temperature measurement systems within an environment
subject to high dielectric stresses.
Schneider Electric’s expertise provides you with the assurance of perfect
electromagnetic compatibility between the various cubicle components.
Components
The thermal diagnosis system comprises the following components:
b 1 or 2 modules mounted in the low voltage control cabinet;
b 3 -point temperature probes (spread over the 3 phases) can be installed
in various monitored zones:

Protection, monitoring Instrument transformers
and control (cont.)
CSP sensors use a winding around an insulating core with no magnetic circuit, which
prevents saturated and residual flux.
Therefore, they are completely linear, and deliver an accurate secondary signal,
a perfect image of the primary current, without distortion for both steady and transient
states in the primary circuits. These sensors have much wider primary current ranges
than current transformers do.
The combining of CSP sensors and Sepam 2000 gives a consistent protection
and measurement system. This in turn makes current sensor specification simpler
(choosing from 3 sensors for a rated insulation level of 17.5 kV).

Voltage transformers
These supply power to:
b measuring, metering and monitoring devices;
b relays or protective devices;
b auxiliary LV sources for various types of switchgear; all these devices are protected
and insulated from the MV section.
They are installed at the bottom of the functional unit. In the withdrawable fuse version,
the voltage transformers are attached to a side wall. The energized part is entirely
encapsulated in an epoxy resin, which provides both electrical insulation and
excellent mechanical strength.
They include the following models:
b with one insulated MV terminal, for connection between neutral and phase
conductors in three-phase systems with withdrawable MV fuses;
b with two insulated MV terminals, for connection between phase conductors.

b a mechanical opening and closing device using two push buttons situated
on the front circuit-breaker panel which are accessible with the cubicle door open
(circuit-breaker in the test position).
For the door closed control unit (circuit-breaker racked in): the circuit-breaker
can be opened by controlling the propulsor unit.
release units:
b an electrical closing device (XF), comprising a closing release for remote control
with an anti-pumping device;
b an electrical opening device comprising one or several opening releases.
The basic circuit-breaker equipment comprises a shunt trip unit (MX).
This can be supplemented with the following options:
v either a second shunt release unit (MX),
v or an undervoltage release unit (MN),
v or an undervoltage release unit with time delay (MN + delay unit).
b a switching operation counter (CDM);
b an indication contact for when the circuit-breaker is "Ready to close" (PF) - option;
b an indication contact for when the circuit-breaker is "Ready to Function" (PAF) - option;
b a position indicator for "open" "closed" through a mechanical "black-white" indicator;
b a multipin connector to disconnect the auxiliary circuits in the "racked-out" position.
auxiliary contacts:
b 4 changeover contacts are available;
b 1 or 2 blocks of 4 changeover contacts can be added as an option.
Antipumping function
In the case of latched opening and closing orders, the device is blocked
in the open position.
This function involves on one hand giving absolute priority to the opening order,
but also and above all to stopping closing, in order to avoid the device being locked
in an indefinite opening/closing cycle:
b the opening and closing coils can be supplied power on a permanent basis
in order to provide electrical interlocking: there is no internal self-breaking contact
in the device.
b interlocking between the opening and closing orders, for whatever reason,
is achieved in a standard manner within the device’s control mechanism.

Fuses
The fuses used are of the Fusarc CF or Ferraz type (Standard IEC 60282.1
and DIN 43625) with high breaking capacity.
Substantial fault current limitation reduces the electrodynamic stresses on
the load-side components (contactor, cables, CT, etc).
A "blown fuse" device is used to open the three poles of the contactor.
Trip curves
The trip curves for Fusarc CF (figure 1) and Ferraz (figure 2) rated voltage (kV) 7.2
fuses are shown above.
These are the average curves with an rms current value
