2 Introduction

The N-Series remotely controlled and monitored automatic circuit recloser consists of an N-Series automatic circuit recloser (ACR) combined with an Advanced Controller (ADVC).

The N-Series ACR

consists of vacuum interrupters in a sealed, stainless steel tank �

the tank is filled with sulphur hexaflouride (SF6) gas �

a pressure transducer is used to monitor gas pressure in the tank �

surge arresters can be directly fitted to the ACR and should be fitted at �installation

voltages are measured on each of the 6 bushings �

current is measured on each phase �

the ACR itself retains information such as serial number, switchgear type, �operations and contact wear, independently of the ADVC

the ACR can be tripped from the ground by a hookstick and then be locked out �by opening the isolating switches located on the ADVC.

a clearly visible, external pointer shows whether the ACR is tripped or closed. �

The ACR field-fitting kit includes a polymeric bushing boot and predetermined length of 120 mm2,185 mm2, or 240 mm2 aluminium, insulated water-tight cable tail rated at 250A, 400A, 630A for each of the six bushings.

the ACR is connected to the Advanced Controller (ADVC) via a control cable �through the base of the ADVC

the ACR can be connected into an insulated or bare conductor system. �

The ADVC Controller reads and displays the information which is stored in the ACR and provides protection and communication properties for the ACR. The ADVC Controller

consists of: �an electronic switchgear controller that monitors the ACR, and provides �communication and protection functions. (CAPE),an operator interface mounted on the CAPE, �a power supply which also supplies power for customer equipment, �an accessories and customer equipment compartment, �

is powered by an auxiliary voltage supply of 110, 220, or 240 volts AC, �

is connected to the ACR via a detachable control cable. �

The customer compartment provides ample room for equipment. Standard communications cables can be used for connection to the communications ports on the ADVC and power is readily accessible from the programmable power terminal block. (Please refer to “4 Communications and Accessories Installation (page 4-1)”.)

Introduction (cont)

terMinology

The N-Series recloser bushings are identified as U1, V1, and W1 on one side, usually the source side, and U2, V2, and W2 on the other, usually the load side. (Source and load side are configurable) See Figure 3 : ACR Bushings (page 3)

contents of crate

Each crate includes:

ACR, �

Pole mounting bracket with clamps if ordered. If a substation mounting bracket �was ordered it will be attached to the outside of the crate,

� Six bushing boots with clamping rings attached,

� Six tubes of electrical silicone grease to fill the bushing boots (seven tubes are supplied with 38kV reclosers),

� One clamping ring spanner to fit boots to the bushings,

� caulking gun,

� The appropriate mounting kit,

� ADVC Cubicle (which will normally contain two batteries unless arrangements have been made to ship batteries separately),

� Control cable,

� Six cable tails (where supplied by the manufacturer) pre-terminated with either a threaded lug to screw into the bushings directly or with a flat lug for bolting to a palm already fitted onto the bushings.

On receipt, the contents should be checked for shipping damage and the manufacturer informed immediately if any is found.

unpackinG procedure

Tools required:

� Wrecking bar to remove nails,

� Four D shackles, two slings and crane with a safe working load of 300kg to lift the ACR,

� Screw Driver or Battery Drill with 8mm socket,

� 16mm Spanner or Socket.

Procedure:

1: Remove the front (marked ADVC) and back panels of the crate.

2: Remove the top of the crate. Inside the top of the crate you will find a timber brace which is fitted around and between the recloser bushings and attached to the side walls of the crate. The brace supports the bushing boots, control cable, accessories kit, and mounting bracket if supplied.

3: Cut each strapping holding the bushing boots, the accessories kit, and the control cable in position. Remove the bushing boots and control cable and put them in a clean, dry place.

4: Unscrew the four wood screws which attach the mounting bracket (if present) to the top timber brace and lift the mounting bracket out of the crate.

5: Unscrew the four wood screws which attach the top timber brace to the side walls of the crate and remove the brace.

6: Remove the cable tails which are bent over the top of the ADVC.

7: Fit D-shackles to the lifting points on the circuit breaker and lift it out of the crate and on to the ground using the crane.

8: Remove the two bolts securing the ADVC to its top and bottom timber braces and lift the unit from the crate.

Ensure that the ADVC is stored indoors until installation on site. If storage outdoors is unavoidable, ensure that the ADVC is kept in an upright position.

take great care not to hit the recloser bushings with the bracket or to drop the bracket, which weighs nearly 30kg (66lb),

back into the crate

the control cubicle weighs approximately 40 kg (88lb)�

3 Installation

control cable connection

When installing or testing the ACR it is necessary to connect and disconnect the control cable either from the ACR, the ADVC or both. The control cable is plugged into the base of the ACR and the other end into the ADVC at the bottom, right-most socket on the Control and Protection Enclosure (CAPE).

To do this successfully requires the correct technique:

Power down the control cubicle by switching off all MCB’s. This should be done �whenever connecting or disconnecting the control cable,

To connect: hold the plug by the long sides, check orientation, gently locate it on �the socket and push firmly into place. Check it has locked by wriggling the plug. If the plug cannot be pushed on with moderate force then it has not been located properly. Heavy force is never required.

To disconnect: �

Hold the plug by the short sides and grip hard to release the clips inside the plug 1: (not visible).

Wriggle the plug to allow the clips to release. 2:

These tests can be carried out on site or in the workshop as preferred.

Unpack the crate as above and put the HV cables, boots and the control cable in a clean safe place where they will not be damaged or soiled. Make a temporary earth connection between the ADVC and the ACR. 1mm2 copper wire is adequate for this purpose.

Raise the ACR using a crane or forklift in order to safely gain access to the bottom of the N-Series ACR. Figure 4 : (page 3-2)

Unbolt the cover plate over the switch cable entry module (SCEM) compartment on the bottom of the ACR and connect the ACR end of the control cable to the SCEM.

Lower the ACR on to props so that the control cable is not damaged by being caught between the base of the ACR and the floor.

Then connect the ADVC end of the cable to the socket at the lower right-hand corner of the CAPE located inside the ADVC cubicle. See site Procedure - step 15 (page 3-5)

The LV auxiliary supply (if applicable) should be connected as shown in Figure 6 : LV Auxiliary Supply Connection (page 3-8)

It may be desirable at this time to fit the cable tails and surge arresters to the ACR. See Figure 5 : Cable Tail Installation (page 3-7).

transport to siteIf the unpacking and testing was carried out in the workshop then the ACR and ADVC must be transported safely to site. It is important the following steps are carried out:

Turn off all ADVC circuit breakers and disconnect all auxiliary power supplies. �Disconnect the control cable from both ACR and ADVC and replace the cover plate on the bottom of the ACR.

� Transport the ACR, ADVC and all parts in a safe and secure manner to site.

site installation

If you are replacing a pole-top control cubicle (PTCC) or an original ADVC Controller (Ver 43 or earlier) with an ADVC Controller (Ver 44 or above), the following should be considered:

The ADVC Controllers have different mounting points to the PTCC � 1.

The connection to the auxiliary supply enters the cubicle at a different point. �

The earth stud is in a different position. �

Accessory cables may need extending. �

Unlike the PTCC which required an auxiliary power supply rating of 50VA, the �ADVC Controller requires 100VA.

� If the auxiliary supply is provided by an external VT connected through the ACR, there are limitations to the supply ratings of equipment powered by the radio power supply. For an external VT, the maximum continuous current drawn from the radio supply should be limited to 0.5 amps.

The ADVC Controller (Ver 44 or above) door is held open by a door stay mechanism �which prevent door swinging or blowing shut. To disengage the door stay follow the directions on the operator sheet located on the inside of the door.

tools Required

� Torque wrench and metric socket set, normal engineers tools.

� 24mm Open ended drive to fit the torque wrench (commonly known as a "Claw Foot"). This is only required with 630A cable tails which screw directly into the bushings and are tightened by a 24mm lock-nut.

� Standard 300gm cartridge applicator, (Caulking Gun).

� Bushing boot clamping spanner, (supplied by the manufacturer).

� Tools to prepare pole as required.

� Crane or other lift for ACR and ADVC, four D shackles and slings. A 1m spreader bar is also useful, if the surge arresters are to be fitted onto the ACR tank, to keep the slings away from the surge arresters when lifting.

Parts Required (Not supplied by the manufacturer)Two 20mm galvanised or stainless steel bolts with washers and nuts etc. to bolt �the ACR mounting bracket to power pole. See Figure 7 : ACR Mounting and Dimensions (page 3-9). If the optional pole clamps have been purchased this is not required.

1 An accessory mounting bracket can be purchased to allow the use of the same mounting holes as were used with the manufacturer’s PTCC. (Part No. 99800125)

Connecting the batteries with reverse polarity will cause damage to the electronic systems�

site Procedure

To erect and test the ACR and ADVC, carry out the following steps. Mounting details are given in Figure 7 : (page 3-9).

Transport to site and carry out testing prior to erection as required.1:

Connect cable tails and surge arresters before raising the ACR. See 2: “Cable Tail Connections (page 3-6)” and “Surge Arrester Mounting and Terminating (page 3-7)”

Ensure that the pole is of sufficient strength to support the ACR. A structural 3: engineer may be needed to calculate the stresses involved.

Securely mount the ACR mounting bracket on the power pole.4:

Lift the ACR into position and lower it so that it sits on the mounting bracket. See 5: Figure 7 : (page 3-9).

Bolt the ACR to the mounting bracket with the four 12mm nuts and bolts 6: provided. Tighten to 50 Nm.

Complete the high voltage connections as shown in 7: Figure 10 : (page 3-12) or as appropriate for the site installation.

Unbolt the SCEM compartment cover plate from the bottom of the ACR. Remove 8: the blanking plate and fit the control cable into place. Connect the control cable to plug P1 1 on the SCEM located inside the ACR.

See “Control Cable Connection (page 3-2)” for the correct way to connect/disconnect the control cable.

9: Fit the retaining plate. 2

Run the control cable from the ACR down to the ADVC.10:

If the ADVC is to be bolted to the pole, drill the top hole and fit the bolt. If it is to be 11: strapped, feed the straps through the slots on the upper and lower mounting brackets.

3-5

12: Lift the ADVC into position and bolt or strap it to the power pole.

Attach the control cable to the power pole maintaining maximum available 13: separation from the main earth bond (at 200mm for wood and concrete poles and 150mm for steel poles). Ensure that there is enough cable available at each end to permit connection to the equipment.

Run the earth connections as described in 14: “Earthing (Grounding) (page 3-8)”.

15: Connect the control cable from the ACR through the base of the ADVC 1

and then to the switchgear socket 2 on the CAPE.

For LV mains supply run auxiliary wiring as shown in 16: Figure 8 : (page 3-10). Make the connection inside the ADVC as shown in Figure 6 : (page 3-8).

For LV supply from a dedicated transformer supplied by the utility, connect as 17: shown in Figure 9 : (page 3-11).

For Integrated supply from an external transformer, connect as shown in 18: Figure 9 : (page 3-11). (See also “Auxiliary Power from Integrated Transformer (page 3-8)”)

Power down the ADVC by switching off all MCB’s. Note that this should be done 19: whenever connecting or disconnecting the control cable from the ADVC.

20: Fit the batteries if they are not already in place.

If communications equipment is to be installed go to 21: “4 Communications and Accessories Installation (page 4-1)”.

Otherwise go to 22: “5 Testing Your Installation (page 5-1)”.

When mounting the ADVC to a wooden pole, use a spirit level to ensure correct alignment, and minimise torque on the mounting brackets�

Note that the ADVC mounts have key holes as shown here, so that you can lift the ADVC on to the mounting bolt and slide it into position.

It is vital that the earthing scheme is carried out as described�

Cable tail Connections

HV cables are supplied in one of two forms:

Fitted with a lug to be bolted to a factory fitted palm on the end of the bushing �(250, 400, or 800 A).

Fitted with a threaded termination that is screwed into the bushing (630A). �

In both cases the procedure is to attach the cable to the bushing and then cover with the bushing boot as detailed in the following sections.

The bushing is supplied clean and protected with a plastic cap. Ensure this is �undisturbed and the bushing body and tin plated central conductor or palm are clean and undamaged. If the bushing has become soiled then clean with methylated spirits. Sand or brush the aluminium palm to remove oxide.

Grease the bushing and the conductor with the silicone grease provided (part �number 990000350).

Unpack the cable tail and bushing boots. Check that the cable termination and �the boot are clean and undamaged. If necessary, clean with methylated spirits.

� Push the boot down the cable to a distance approximately 1 metre from the termination (place a small amount of grease on the closed end of the boot to assist the boot to slide down the cable). Fill the bushing boot with the silicone grease provided, starting at the closed end and finishing approx 60mm from the open end of the boot.

For 630 A cables terminated with a screw thread, ensure the thread, locknut and �bushing surfaces are clean and dry. Screw the tail into the bushing by turning the whole cable tail. Tighten to 50 Nm using a spanner across the brass locknut fitted. Take care to apply only twisting forces to the terminal (no shear force).

For 250, 400 and 630A cables terminated with a lug, smear with aluminium �jointing paste and bolt the lug to the bushing palm with the two M10 bolts provided and tighten to 44 Nm using a 17mm socket.

� For 800 A copper cables terminated with a lug, smear with aluminium jointing paste and bolt the lug to the bushing palm. Because of the weight of the cable it may be difficult to fit the bolts through the lug and the bushing palm while holding the cable. Therefore, using an M10 bolt from the packing crate, temporarily insert the M10 bolt through the rear of one of the holes in the palm. Fit the corresponding hole in the tail over the M10 bolt. Insert a cap head socket screw into the other hole from the lug side and partially tighten it. Remove the M10 bolt. Insert the second cap head socket screw through the lug and tighten both screws to 22 Nm using an 8 mm (5/16") hex key.

� Grease the surface of the bushing, slide the bushing boot down over the bushing while rotating the boot back and forth. Fix into place using the clamping ring and spanner provided. The bottom of the boot should be firmly seated on the top of the circuit breaker tank. During the clamping process silicone may bleed from the top of the boot where the cable tail comes out. This is quite normal and can be assisted by sliding a small screwdriver into the boot alongside the cable tail but be very careful not to damage the bushing. Silicone grease will also come out around the bottom of the bushing. This is quite normal. Wipe off excess silicone grease with a clean cloth.

The insulated cables supplied by the manufacturer are rated for use at the following voltages and ratings:

Up to 15kV 100mm minimum clearance phase to phase, or phase to earth

>15kV to 38kV 150mm minimum clearance phase to phase, or phase to earth

Hint - as you fill the boot with grease, keep sliding it down the cable as this pushes the grease up into the boot.

When making the 800 A cable tail line connection, suitable steps must be taken to prevent water ingress to the cable�

surge Arrester Mounting and terminating

The ACR is type tested for Impulse Withstand Voltages up to 170kV depending on the model. See “11 Ratings and Specifications (page 11-1)”

When there is a possibility that lightning or network switching conditions may produce peak voltages in excess of 70% of the Impulse Withstand Voltage, the manufacturer recommends the use of suitably rated surge arresters connected to each terminal of the ACR.

The arresters should be mounted on the mounting brackets supplied by the manufacturer and earthed as described in Figure 8 : (page 3-10).

Failure to correctly install adequately rated surge arresters may result in warranty claims being declared void.

Mounting brackets are provided for surge arresters on the tank of the ACR. This is illustrated in Figure 10 : (page 3-12) and Figure 7 : (page 3-9).

The surge arresters can be mounted on top of the brackets or clamped to the side of the brackets using the holes provided. Top holes are 12mm diameter, side holes are 16mm diameter. In this way most types of surge arrester can be accommodated.

The brackets are tilted to maximise phase/phase clearance. The user should check that phase/phase and phase/earth clearance will be sufficient for their particular surge arresters and line voltages. For some types of side clamping surge arresters, the phase/earth clearance may be insufficient at the centre phase on the pole side at higher voltages. In this case the surge arrester can be mounted on the side of the power pole or an increased clearance ACR mounting bracket fitted.

Connections from the surge arresters to the cable tails can be made by stripping off the cable tail insulation and using a parallel or "T" type clamp to make the connection to the cable tail. The connection should be made far enough up the tail so that phase/phase and phase/earth clearances are maintained. The cable tail is watertight1, so additional water blocking where the insulation has been removed is not required, however it is good practice to tape the joint using a bitumen or mastic tape, to maintain the cabling system insulation.

1 The 800A cable is not water-blocked, so must be taped.

If the arresters are not mounted close to the ACR the protection they provide is significantly reduced.

earthing (Grounding)

Figure 8 : (page 3-10) shows the earthing (grounding) common to all installations.

This arrangement earths the ACR frame and the surge arresters directly to earth through a main earth bond consisting of a copper conductor of 70 sq. mm. Any surges will flow down this path.

The control cubicle is connected to this main earth bond by a tee-off. The control cubicle electronics are internally protected from potential differences which may occur between the ACR frame and control cubicle frame whilst surge currents are flowing down the main earth bond. No other connections to earth from the control cubicle are allowed since surge currents will also flow in those paths. Follow this arrangement on both conducting and insulating power poles.

Keep the main earth bond physically separated from the control cable, as they run down the power pole, by the maximum spacing available and at least 150mm.

LV Auxiliary Power from Mains

Where LV mains are connected to the control cubicle to provide auxiliary power the connection must connect the neutral of the LV system to a tee-off from the main earth bond as shown in Figure 8 : (page 3-10). A low voltage surge arrester must also be fitted from the LV phase connection to this tee-off.

This connection scheme bonds the LV and HV earths and so protects the primary insulation of the auxiliary supply transformer in the control cubicle when surge currents are flowing. Fit additional LV surge arresters to all the other LV phases (if they exist), to balance the supply for other users connected to the LV system.

If local conditions or wiring rules prohibit bonding the HV and LV systems in this way, providing the auxiliary supply to the control cubicle from the LV mains system is not possible. Instead, use one of the alternative arrangements detailed below.

LV Auxiliary Power from Dedicated Utility transformer

Figure 9 : (page 3-11) shows wiring and earthing if a dedicated transformer is supplied by the utility. Note that this should not be used to supply any other equipment without consulting the manufacturer to ensure that no hazard is caused to the control cubicle electronics.

Figure 9 : (page 3-11) shows that the transformer and any steelwork is earthed to the switchgear tank and that one side of the transformer secondary is earthed to the earth stud on the equipment panel inside the control cubicle.

Auxiliary Power from Integrated transformer

The manufacturer can provide a dedicated voltage transformer outside the ACR tank which connects directly into the control electronics. This is called an Integrated Auxiliary Supply.

An external transformer is mounted on the front of the tank as shown in Figure 9 : (page 3-11) which also shows suggested HV connections. The secondary of the external transformer connects into the SCEM on the underside of the ACR. To connect the transformer secondary, remove the SCEM compartment cover plate, pass the cable which is pre-fitted with a cable gland through the hole, secure the gland, connect the auxiliary supply to the screw terminal block on the SCEM and replace the compartment cover.

No additional earthing for Integrated Auxiliary Supply is required in addition to the common earthing shown in Figure 9 : (page 3-11).

Do not earth surge arresters by a different path, doing this may cause damage to the control electronics or ACR� Also, any antenna should be

bonded to the ACR or the main earth bond�

If the secondary of the Vt is earthed, electronics damage will occur�

raDio antenna

Mount the antenna and run the antenna feed to the ADVC or run external communications cable to the ADVC. The communication cable/radio antenna, enters the cubicle via the 16mm hole provided on the underside of the cubicle.

Cable EntryFigure 11.

Protection of Radio equipment

It is highly advisable to connect a gas discharge type of surge arrester in the antenna feed to the radio. Failure to do so will result in loss of radio and control electronics protection which could lead to complete electronic failure due to lightning activity.

A feed-through or bulkhead type arrester fitted to the bottom of the control cubicle is ideal. If fitted internally the surge arrester should be earthed to an equipment panel mounting stud by the shortest possible wire. Holes are provided for a bulkhead surge arrester.

If a surge arrester is not fitted then the co-axial earth screen should be earthed to the equipment panel by the shortest possible wire.

V23 FsK

An in-built FSK modem provides half-duplex V23 signalling at 1200 bits per second. This interface is primarily designed for use with voice frequency radio systems and provides additional signals for this purpose.

The V23 connector is RJ45:

Pin Direction Use1 To ADVC Receive, 10 kOhm impedance

Level 2.5V pk-pk7 Not connected8 From ADVC Push to talk (PTT)

V23 Pin ConnectionsTable 3.

The Push to Talk (PTT) signal is used to key up a radio transmitter. PTT is implemented using a Field Effect Transistor (FET) with an on resistance of 3.3 ohm. When PTT is asserted the transistor is turned on and connects the PTT signal to 0V.

A busy signal can be provided by the radio to indicate receive channel busy. High level is +2.0V to +3.3V, and low level is 0V to +0.5V. The busy signal should be driven by an open collector output or current limited to 10 mA.

If multiple ACRs are in use in a substation application they can be connected to a single radio using the 600ohm line isolator accessory available from the manufacturer.

Levels in excess of ±13V should not be applied. The FET is rated for a maximum of +32V and negative voltages are not permitted.

Transmit and receive are unbalanced signals relative to 0 volts and are not isolated. If a DC level is imposed by the radio on the transmit line then this should be less than 2.5 VDC.

5-15-1

The following sections give details of how the ACR and ADVC, installed as described in “3 Installation (page 3-1)”, should be prepared for operation.

Check that no visible damage has occurred during the installation.

Carry out any visual and electrical tests, such as insulation and contact resistance, considered necessary to prove that the installation is sound.

powering up the aDvc

Turn on the battery circuit breaker, located above the 1: icon.

Turn on the dual pole auxiliary supply circuit breaker, located above the 2: icon, if the auxiliary supply is being provided by either an LV mains or dedicated auxiliary transformer. If a second AC input is provided, located above the 3: , turn on its dual pole MCB. or Turn on the VT supply to cubicle circuit breaker if the auxiliary supply is being 4: provided by an integrated transformer (single pole MCB above , if fitted).

Powering up the ADVC with the ACR connected will cause the ADVC to read 5: data from the ACR. This will take up to 60 seconds during which the message:

"READING - Do NOT disconnect Switchgear" will flash at the top of the display. The System OK LED on the OCP should

flash to indicate that the ADVC is powered and functioning.

The flexVUE O.I. will create an ALeRt with the same message.

If the configuration file containing the settings to be used in operation has not 6: previously been loaded, it should be loaded now using WSOS, or the settings should be entered via the OCP.

The ACR and ADVC are now ready for operation. Prior to energising the ACR, you should perform the following checks to confirm that the equipment is fully operational and properly configured.

Check that the installation and external connections have been carried out as described in this manual and in accordance with local regulations.

ensure that earthing has been carried out as described in “Earthing (Grounding) (page 3-8)”.

If you are familiar with navigating Operator Control Interface display groups, proceed with the checks described below. Otherwise, please read the chapter, 7 Operator Interface (page

The battery may be in any one of four states:Normal - oFF - Low - High

At this point, the battery state should be Normal with a voltage within the range 23.2 to 33.1VDC. Ensure the Aux Supply status is Normal. If not, you cannot perform the remaining battery checks at this stage.

Switch the battery circuit breaker off and check that the battery status changes to 2: OFF. (Allow 3 - 5 seconds.)

3: Go to the eVeNt LoG (see 8 Event Log (page 8-1) for details on how to do this) and check that the bottom line of the display (the most recent event) contains the Battery OFF event.

System Status - SWITCHGEAR STATUS-S.

e.g.


OPERATOR MENU - SWITCHGEAR STATUS - SWITCHGEAR DATA - Switch Status

It may be in either of two states: Connected or Disconnected. "Connected" is the normal state. If Switch is "Disconnected", check the control cable at both ends. If the status remains "Disconnected", the cable may be faulty.

Check that the Switch Data status is Valid. 2: In normal operation, if Switch status is "Connected", Switch Data will be "Valid".

If the control cable has been unplugged (Switch "Disconnected", Switch Data "Invalid") then re-plugged (Switch status "Connected"), the Switch Data status will remain "Invalid" during the time taken to read switch data from the SCEM, and a message to that effect is displayed.

If Switch Data remains "Invalid", check the following:

� Examine each end of the control cable, checking for bent or broken pins and rectify if found. Also check the socket at both the SCEM and P1 in the ADVC for damage.

� If the pins are OK, the cable itself may be faulty1, therefore test the control cable for continuity.

� If Switch Data remains "Invalid", check the power supply to the SCEM by checking the voltage on Pins 2 and 5 of the control cable. The voltage should be approximately 36VDC if the auxiliary supply is present, 45 VDC for an 110/230 V auxiliary supply or approximately 26VDC if running on batteries.2

1. It is possible for the Switch status to be showing "Connected" even though the control cable core is faulty, causing the switch Data to show "Invalid".

2. A break-out cable to facilitate this measurement is available as an accessory.

When the battery status reads Low, but the voltage is close to the normal range lower limit, the battery will charge up when the auxiliary supply is turned on. If the

voltage is very low, replace the battery.

For this and all subsequent tests you will need to check settings on display group pages (See Display Groups (page 7-3).) You may also have to check the Event Log (See 8 Event Log (page 8-1))

terMinal DeSignation anD phaSe rotation

The power system phase assigned to each set of bushings on the ACR must be correctly indicated at the time of installation of the ADVC. This process is called "setting the phasing". Setting the phasing affects all the displays, events, etc., concerned with recloser terminals, for example: voltage measurements, live/dead terminal displays and maximum current events.

Normal/default phasing is A, B and C for bushings U, V and W. Normal/default phase rotation is ABC.

If the phasing at the ACR and/or phase rotation of the network are different from the defaults, you must set the phasing and/or the phase rotation.

On the setVUE O.I., Phasing is set from:

SYSTEM STATUS - TERMINAL DESIGNATION/ROTATION-SPress the 1: seLeCt key to select the A Phase field.

Press 2: to change the setting. This will cycle A, B & C Phase through the SIX (6) possible phase/bushing combinations .

- - - - TERMINAL DESIGNATION/ROTATION - - - S A Phase = Bushings U1 + U2 Phasing ABC B Phase = Bushings V1 + V2 C Phase = Bushings W1 + W2

Press the 3: eNteR key when you have the required combination. The controller then orientates the currents and voltages to match the selection.

In the Phasing field, select the phase rotation - either 4: ABC or ACB.

Go to the 5: eVeNt LoG (see 8 Event Log (page 8-1) for details on how to do this) and check that the bottom line of the display (the most recent event) contains the Phasing order event.

After the phasing has been set, you should record the details on the label on the 6: rear of the control cubicle door (above the operator panel) to indicate the relationship between the bushings and phases.

After the phasing has been set, you should record the details on the label on the 6: rear of the control cubicle door (above the operator panel) to indicate the relationship between the bushings and phases.

power flow Direction Setting

The ACR is a symmetrical device meaning that either side can be connected to the power source.

Consequently, after installation, the controller must be configured to designate the source side.

The power flow direction is configured on page

SYSTEM STATUS - PHASE VOLTAGE and POWER FLOW: or ENGINEER MENU - CONFIGURATION MENU - SYSTEM SETTINGS - METERING PARAMETERS

- Source 1, Load 2and may be either source 1, Load 2 or source 2, Load 1� When changed, this reverses the power flow direction but not the phasing.

Power flow direction setting is used to determine:

Whether the source or load corresponds to (1) or (2) on the voltage �measurement displays.

Which direction is positive power flow for use on the kWh totals in the Maximum �Weekly and Monthly Demand display and APGS.

Which is the source or load for Live Load Blocking. �

Which is the source or load for Directional Blocking/Protection. �

Only A-Phase is allowed to be edited. Changing this phase will change B & C Phases in the following rotation:

1: A-B-C = U-V-W 2: A-B-C = W-V-U 3: A-B-C = V-W-U 4: A-B-C = W-U-V 5: A-B-C = V-U-W 6: A-B-C = U-W-V

YOU MUST CHECK B&C-PHASE TERMINAL DESIGNATION after you have set A-Phase.

Incorrect terminal designation may cause incorrect operation, false trips or even damage to the switch gear or controller.

tripping anD cloSing

If system conditions allow, tripping or closing can be carried out at this point.

Trip and close the ACR from the ADVC. See 1: 7 Operator Interface (page 7-1). for information on the Trip and Close controls.

Tripping and closing cause the LED on the appropriate TRIP/CLOSE button to 2: illuminate which should agree with the position of the pointer on the ACR.

enaBle/DiSaBle SwitcheS

For each of the CLose and tRIP keys in turn, test eNABLe and DIsABLe by:

Disable either mechanism (e.g. 1: CLose) using Disabled Switches located underneath the O.I.

Go to the 2: eVeNt LoG (see 8 Event Log (page 8-1) for details on how to do this) and check that the bottom line of the display (the most recent event) contains the Close Coil Isolate event. (For the same test of the TRIP mechanism the Event Log should display Trip Coil Isolate.)

With both mechanisms disabled, check that pressing each of the CLOSE and 3: TRIP keys is ineffective.

Enable both 4: CLose and tRIP mechanisms.

Mechanical trip

Use a hook stick to manually trip the ACR via the manual trip lever.1:

Go to the 2: eVeNt LoG (see 8 Event Log (page 8-1) for details on how to do this) and check that the bottom line of the display (the most recent event) contains the Mechanical Trip event.

SeconDary injection teSting

If secondary injection testing is required to test protection settings but operation of the ACR is not possible, secondary injection can be performed with a suitable current injection set with the Test and Training Set (TTS) in standalone mode connected to the ADVC, and the ACR disconnected.

If tripping and closing of the ACR is possible and preferred, perform secondary injection testing with the TTS in parallel mode.

priMary injection teSting

If the ACR can be isolated from the network, primary injection testing can be performed if required.

Any secondary injection must use a frequency which corresponds to the frequency set in the controller.

5-7

power flow Direction teSting

This test is to ensure that the source and load designations are correct.

Since either side of the recloser can be connected to the power source, the controller must be configured to designate the source side.

To check how Power Flow is configured see Power Flow Direction Setting (page 5-5)

If the 1-side bushings are connected to the source, the setting Source/Load setting should be Source 1, Load 2.

Display the page and check the Source/Load configuration.1:

- - - - PHASE VOLTAGE and POWER FLOW - - - - S "Live" if > 2000V Supply Timeout 4.0s Power Signed Source 1, Load 2 Display Ph/Gnd Volt

The correct power flow setting can be confirmed by energising the ACR while it is open.

With the recloser energized but still open, Check the Source Side Voltages at:2:

System Measurement - SOURCE SIDE VOLTAGES-M.

ENGINEER MENU - MEASUREMENTS MENU - VOLTAGE - PHASE/LINE SRC-LD Check the source side voltages - either phase to ground or phase to phase e.g.3:

- - - - - - - SOURCE SIDE VOLTAGES - - - - - - S A1 phase to ground 6950 Volt B1 phase to ground 6950 Volt C1 phase to ground 6950 Volt

PHASE/LINE SRC-LD 6950 V A-E < 2000 V

Check the LIVE / DEAD Indication of the recloser by going to:4:

System Status - LIVE/DEAD INDICATION-SAll bushings indications are available in one screen on the setVUE O.I. e.g.

- - - - - - - LIVE/DEAD INDICATION - - - - - - S A1 Live A2 Dead B1 Live B2 Dead C1 Live C2 Dead

BUSHING INDICATION B 2 L iv e

BUSHING INDICATION B 1 L iv e

BUSHING INDICATION A 2 D ea d

BUSHING INDICATION A 1 L iv e

etc

If Steps 3 and 4 indicate an incorrect power flow setting, return to Step 1, change 5: the setting and repeat Steps 2-4.

This test is valid only if the ACR is being supplied from a single source and can be energised before closing.

6-16-1

The ADVC is designed for outdoor pole mounted operation. Both the ULTRA and CompACT cubicles are vented and insulated to minimise internal temperature variation and maximise battery life. Cubicle dimensions are given in Figure 30 : (page B-2).

Sealing & conDenSation

All cubicle vents are screened against vermin entry and the cubicle door is sealed with replaceable foam tape.

Complete sealing against water entry under all conditions is not expected e.g. during operation in the rain. Instead, the design is such that if any water does enter, it will drain out of the bottom without affecting the electrical or electronic parts. A rain sheild on the PSU will protect MCBs if the door is open during driving rain. The extensive use of stainless steel and other corrosion proof materials ensures that the presence of moisture has no detrimental effects.

Condensation can be expected to form under some atmospheric conditions such as tropical storms. However, condensation will be on metal surfaces where it is of no consequence. The water runs out in the same way as any other water entering the cubicle. Condensation will run out of the bottom or be dried by ventilation and self heating.

All electronic modules are fully sealed to IP65 and are self heating.

auXiliary power Source

The auxiliary supply is used to maintain charge on the sealed lead-acid batteries that provide stand-by power when auxiliary power is lost. The controller monitors the status of both the auxiliary and battery supplies.

A low power mode is activated when the batteries are nearly exhausted due to loss of the auxiliary supply. This mode minimises power consumption while still maintaining basic functionality.

controller

The controller consists of three modules. (See Figure 16 (page 6-3) and Figure 17 (page 6-3)):

Power supply unit (PSU) �

Control and protection enclosure (CAPE) with Operator Interface (O.I.) �

Customer Compartment �

The ADVC block diagram is given in Figure 18 (page 6-4).

PsU Module

The PSU module supplies power to the CAPE, and controls the supply from external auxiliary sources

The power supply module encloses all 115/230 Vac mains connections. Internally it provides terminals for auxiliary power supply connection. Cable-tie points are provided to secure the auxiliary supply cables. Circuit breakers are used to protect and switch the battery and auxiliary power supplies on/off. A durable cover is used to enclose all the terminations.

CAPe Module

The main module of control electronics is the Control and Protection Enclosure (CAPE). The CAPE digitises the current transformer (CT) signals and capacitive voltage transformer (CVT) signals from the recloser. These are used to provide a variety of data for the operator.

The CAPE module contains the PCOM board, PSSM board, trip/close capacitors and O.I. assembled into a housing that provides protection from the environment, sealing and EMC shielding.

The CAPE performs the following functions:

Holding & operating the O.I. �

Operating the external communications interface to allow monitoring and control �from a remote computer or operator over a communications link.

6 Control electronics operation

6-2


Switchgear Monitoring and Control �

Controlling WSOS5 over an RS232 link. RS232 Port A is by default configured �for WSOS connection. A USB socket is currently located on the CAPE. This port is reserved for future USB connectivity.

Supply power to all electronic circuits and the customer compartment �

cuStoMer coMpartMent

The compartment is fitted with a panel tray that facilitates the mounting of your equipment e.g. a radio or modem including any special interfaces. See Figure 18 : (page 6-4). The compartment has a terminal block for the radio supply and power for accessories such as an IOEX2. An accessory heater can also be fitted which is controlled by the PSU.

PRoteCtIoN AND CoMMUNICAtIoN sUBMoDULe (PCoM)

The PCOM submodule contains a digital signal processor (DSP) which samples the current and voltage signals from the switchgear and processes them to derive the basic power system information such as current/voltage/frequency/real power/reactive power etc. This is then used by the general-purpose processor (GPP) to provide protection and communications functions e.g. over-current protection. It also presents this data to the outside world via various communications protocols.

PoWeR sUPPLY AND sWItCHGeAR MoDULe (PssM)

The PSSM fulfils power supply and switchgear functionality.

The power supply function controls and filters the supply from external auxiliary supplies. Power is supplied to all the electronic submodules in the ADVC Controller and customer compartment. It also manages the battery power level and performs battery testing.

The switchgear interface function provides controlled pulses of current to trip and close the switchgear.

operator interface/Door aSSeMBly

The O.I. is mounted on the CAPE and is accessed by opening the cubicle door. Operators can view switchgear and system data, control and configure the system via the O.I. The O.I. has its own electronic processing and driver circuit, LCD, membrane keyboard and status LEDs.

Wsos5 Interface

To use WSOS5 to upload or download data, connect your PC serial port to Port A located above the operator interface. Use an RS232, DB9 female to DB9 female, Crossover (also known as Null Modem).

By default, WSOS is configured to run on RS-232 Port A, but can be configured to run on RS-232 Port B, C or D.

7 operator Interface

The ADVC can be remote controlled via modems or other communications devices, controlled using a laptop computer connected directly via serial or USB connections to the ADVC, or by the Operator Interface. (O.I.). The O.I. offers full functionality to change settings, trip and close the switchgear or display current values or past events related to the switchgears function.

The Operator Interface (O.I.) is mounted on the CAPE inside the ADVC Controller and accessed by opening the cubicle door. The O.I. consists of a liquid crystal display (LCD) and key pad and light emitting diodes (LEDs). Together these hardware features provide a user interface to monitor and control the ACR.

Two styles provide different functionality depending on the operators requirements. These two styles are as follows:

setVUEA traditional O.I. that provides a 4 × 40 character LCD and simple navigation with four user configurable quick keys.

DETECTGROUP

WORKTAG

SECTIONON/OFF

flexVUEThis O.I. provides the user with 20 indicator lights and 12 Quick Action Keys (Each with configurable LEDs) that are totally configurable by the user through WSOS5. This provides the user with instant feedback about the switchgear, and minimises the need to navigate through layers of menu structure.

Both the setVUE and flexVUE O.I.’s, and their operation are described in detail on the following pages.

If the door proximity switch is installed, the O.I. turns ON automatically when the door is opened and OFF and when it is closed. The O.I. also turns OFF automatically if no keys are pressed for 10 minutes. Pressing the PANeL oN key will reactivate the panel.

This manual contains examples of display interface screens. In general, the language chosen for these examples is International English. In some cases, screen text will differ if the configured language is English (USA).

2 MENU Key When a computer is unavailable, pressing MENU allows the user to enter the configuration menu from where it is possible to navigate the LCD menu structure, select fields and edit settings. Navigating these pages is described separately.

3 Arrow/Navigation Keys

The ARROW buttons are used to browse between display groups, fields and change values.

4 SELECT Key SELECT is used to select fields or values when changes are made.

5 PANEL ON Key PANEL ON: turns the panel on or off.

An optional door switch is available to turn the panel on when an operator opens the door and off when the door is closed. If the controller is fitted with this option the button can be used to turn the panel off/on while the door is open. Closing the door turns the panel off.

6 LAMP TEST Key LAMP TEST: tests all LEDs on the panel. The purpose is to alert the user of any LEDs or colours that may not be working correctly. The test simultaneously cycles all LEDs through Red, Orange and Green.

7 Indicator LEDs These lamps are used to provide instant indication of the controller and switchgear status. Depending on the configuration, the lamps can be RED, GREEN or ORANGE and ON, OFF or FLASHING. The multiple colours allow for grouping of similar functions e.g. red for protection, orange for voltage and green for system health.

For example:

LOCKOUT A - PHASE O/C B - PHASE O/C C - PHASE O/C GROUND FAULT SENSITIVE G/F

A SOURCE LIVE B SOURCE LIVE C SOURCE LIVE MECH LOCK CONTROL OK AC POWER BATTERY PWR ALARM

The configuration of the Status Lamps can be changed within WSOS5.

8 TRIP Key Trips the switchgear to Lockout and the green LED located inside the button indicates the open state of the recloser.

9 CLOSE Key Closes the switchgear and the red LED located inside the button indicates the closed state.

10 LAMP DATA Key LAMP DATA is a future feature that will provide the operator with additional data specific to each status lamp.

The feature is currently under development.11 LAMP RESET Key Resets the Status Lamps. Lamps requiring further

attention from the operator remain lit.

Note that some of the status lamps such as “controller power” and “terminal live” are continuously updated and therefore not affected by the reset command.

13 Quick Action Key Unlock

To use the Quick Action Keys, an operator must first press the Unlock key. The LED above the unlock key will remain lit while the quick action keys are active.

To deactivate the Quick Action Keys an operator can press the unlock key again. The LED will turn off.

Alternatively the Quick Action Keys will be deactivated automatically a short configurable delay after the last Quick Action Key was selected.

14 Quick Action Keys QAK

Quick Action Keys allow the user to activate/deactivate functions directly from the interface without having to use the menu.

The status of the function is indicated by the LED next to the button. The LED can be configured to be red, green or orange in colour and flashing.

Before using the Quick Action Keys it is necessary to unlock the keys using the unlock button described above. (Configuration)

Pressing a Quick Action Key will apply that action without any further confirmation and the LED next to the key will indicate the new status.

15 Enable/ Disable TRIP switch

Disables ALL Trip Operations. When the switch is in the Disable position the trip coil in the recloser is electrically disconnected from the control electronics. Thus the switch provides a physical isolation point for the control circuitry. The recloser cannot be opened, and an audible alarm in the panel will sound and the DISABLED LED in the TRIP key will flash. The TRIP key operates normally when the switch is in the Enable position.

This switch also prevents a cxlose operation, so that the switchgear cannot be carrying load without the ability to trip.

16 Enable/ Disable CLOSE switch

Disables ALL Close Operations� When the switch is in the Disable position the close coil in the recloser is electrically disconnected from the control electronics. Thus the switch provides a physical isolation point for the control circuitry. The recloser cannot be closed and an audible alarm in the panel will sound and the DISABLED LED in the CLOSE key will flash.The CLOSE key operates normally when the switch is in the Enable position.

Default configuration

The Status Lamps and the Quick Action Keys are programmed in the factory to a default configuration. This can be changed to suit the needs of the user through Windows Switchgear Operating System (WSOS5).

status Lamps

These lamps are used to indicate the controller and switchgear status. The default configuration is shown below. Each lamp indicates the state of the function described next to it. When a state is active, the lamp is lit.

For example, when the recloser is in Lockout the lamp next to “Lockout” will be on. Conversely if the lamp is off, the recloser is not in a lockout state.

8 event Log

introDuction The ADVC maintains a log of up to 30,000 events that reflect changes to the status of the switchgear, control electronics, and ADVC logic. The log also records setting changes.

The events can be seen via the Event Log O.I. display group. The event log display will update automatically with new events. The most recent event appears on the bottom line of the screen and older events can be viewed by scrolling upwards. When the event log is full, newest events replace oldest events.

All events are date and time stamped to a 10ms resolution and displayed in the order that they occurred. The source of each event is also recorded.

It is possible to apply event category filters when viewing events.

WSOS5 software can also be used to read and display the event log. In addition to O.I.-like time stamp, source identification and filter category features, it also has text searches and go to a particular date/time. The event log can be saved as a text file or as a csv file. Refer to the WSOS5 help file for more information.

reaDing the event log

On the setVUE panel, the event log display group is one of the main display groups shown in Figure 25 (page 8-1).

On the flexVUE panel, the event log is found via an dedicated key on the O,I.

The Event Log is navigated slightly differently depending on which O.I. is installed. A navigation diagram for the setVUE O.I. is shown in Figure 25 (page 8-1) and for the flexVUE O.I. in Figure 26 (page 8-1).

setting Change events

A settings change can come from a variety of sources - WSOS5, Operator Interface, SCADA protocol, and IOEX. The controller includes in its log, information regarding the source of each setting change.

If the ALt key ( ) or eVeNt LoG key ( ) is pressed whilst the event log is on the display then the date and time details are replaced with extra information that includes the setting source and, if applicable, the protection group, curve, and trip number. Pressing the ALt ( ) or eVeNt LoG ( )key again will redisplay the date and time information.

The identification codes for sources are:

Identifier Settingschangesource WSOS WSOS5 change OCP Operator Control Panel (Operator Interface) change PTCL SCADA protocol change IOEX IOEX change

As it is possible for multiple WSOS5 applications to be simultaneously connected to the controller via Ethernet, a source identification of “WSOS” can be insufficient information. For WSOS5 over Ethernet connections the first four letters of the PC’s login name are logged. The usage of “WSOS” is therefore restricted to serial port point to point communication links only.

For example, a setVUE event log display may look like this:

08/06/06 11:05:50.25 Very Inv IEC255 08/06/06 11:07:15.66 Parity EVEN 08/06/06 11:09:23.03 Work Tag Applied 08/06/06 11:10:35.19 Load Supply ON

becomes:

WSOS Phase Trip 2 D Very Inv IEC255 OCP RS232-B Parity EVEN PTCL Work Tag Applied Load Supply ON

when you press the ALt key.

In the above example it can be seen that:

WSOS5 has been used to set a Very Inverse IEC255 curve for phase trip 2, �group D

the O.I. has been used to set the controller’s RS-232 Port B communications �parity to EVEN

the work tag has been applied via a SCADA protocol communications link �

the controller has detected restoration of load supply. There is no setting change �source.

The flexVUE screen might look like this:

Maintenance can be carried out using standard electricians’ and mechanics’ tools.

acr Maintenance

No user maintenance of the ACR mechanism is required.

The ACR should be returned to the manufacturer for refurbishment if the mechanical duty or breaking duty is exceeded. This is checked by examining the remaining contact life on the Operator interface. When the remaining contact life in any phase approaches zero, the ACR has reached the end of its life and must be replaced.

Every five years the bushing boots should be checked, cleaned if necessary and the pointer checked to ensure it is free from mechanical obstructions. In areas of high atmospheric pollution more frequent cleaning may be appropriate.

At suitable intervals check the gas low alarm is not showing on the operator interface. If gas low is showing, this may indicate a leak which must be found. Recharging the ACR SF6 using a gas fill adaptor is described below.

acr Sf6 recharging

The ACR is refilled to a pressure of 35kPa on the gauge corrected by +0.46kPa for every degree Celsius above 20° Celsius and -0.46kPa for every degree below 20° Celsius. For altitudes above 1000m the gauge pressure should be corrected for altitude.

safety Removal from Service

The gas fill valve is located between the ACR body and the mounting bracket.

Ensure that the ACR is removed from service before fitting the gauge and taking a reading.

ProcedurePreparation

this procedure should be performed under controlled conditions using appropriate sF6 reclamation equipment�

The gas filling procedure may be conducted on an ACR either in the field or within a workshop.

If to be conducted in the field, ensure that the ACR is removed from service until the procedure is complete.

Record the ambient temperature as this will be required when calculating the fill pressure.

Connecting the Gas Cylinder to the Gas Fill Valve�

Remove the protective plastic transportation cap from the cylinder valve. 1: See Figure 27 : (page 10-2)

Fit the Gas Fill Adaptor to the cylinder and tighten using the correct spanner:2:

Open both the shut-off and gas cylinder valves.3:

Adjust the regulator valve until gas flows through and purges the line.4:

Immediately close the shut-off valve.5:

Ensure the adaptor is free of dirt or contaminants before inserting into the valve.6:

Insert the gas line adaptor into the gas fill valve: 7: See Figure 28 : (page 10-2)

Retract the locking pin on the gas fill tool and slide it over the gas fill boss on the 8: tank. Allow the locking pin to spring into the groove. Gently check that the tool cannot be pulled off.

Push the handle into the plug and rotate anticlockwise until the bayonets drop 9: into the slots. Continue to rotate until it becomes difficult to turn. Do not force the handle further.

Filling with Gas

Calculate the gas pressure required for the local conditions: 10:

The default gas pressure is 35 kPa.

The final pressure is dependent upon the ambient temperature at the site.

For temperatures above 20° C, add 0.46 kPa for each degree in �temperature.

For temperatures below 20° C, deduct 0.46 kPa for each degree in �temperature.

Open the shut-off valve to commence the flow of gas into the recloser tank.11:

Slowly turn the regulator clockwise to increase the flow of gas into the tank. As 12: the tank starts to fill with gas, the pressure gauge will display the increasing pressure:

� Care must be taken not to over-pressurise the tank. A relief valve is fitted to the gas fill adaptor. If the tank pressure exceeds 60 kPa, the valve will open and vent to atmosphere.

� Pressure in excess of that required and 60 kPa must be removed using a reclamation unit or similar means.

The tank’s pressure may be checked at any time by closing the shut-off valve:

Allow the gas pressure gauge to stabilise before taking a reading. �

� Open the shut-off valve to recommence the gas flow in to the tank.

Door seal

Check the door sealing rubber for perishing or undue hardening. If necessary renew the seal.

Battery care

The battery is predicted to provide good performance for the recommended five year service period. This is based on the battery manufacturer’s data. No battery warranty is given by the manufacturer of the ADVC.

Once in service, batteries need little care. Procedures for storage and other contingencies are as follows:

� Batteries should be stored at a temperature of between 0°C to 30°C (32°F to 86°F) and cycled every six months. Batteries should be stored for a maximum of one year.

� Batteries should be cycled prior to putting into service if they have not been cycled within three months. When shipped by the manufacturer the batteries will have been cycled within the previous 30 days.

� If the batteries become exhausted in service and are left for more than two weeks without auxiliary supply being restored to the ADVC they should be taken out, cycled and have their capacity checked before being returned to service.

To cycle a battery, discharge with a 10 Ohm 15 Watt resistor to a terminal voltage of 10V. Next, recharge it with a voltage regulated DC supply set to 13.8V. A 3A current limited supply is appropriate.

More information on the battery care is available from the battery manufacturer.

aBnorMal operating conDitionS

The operation of the capacitor charging inverter can be affected under abnormal conditions such as when the battery capacity is very low. The following features are used to protect the ADVC in this situation while still allowing the ACR to keep operating.

Low Power Mode

When the batteries are nearly exhausted, the ADVC will change its capacitor charging mode from normal to low power. In low power mode the controller takes longer to charge the capacitors and the radio supply is shut down. A "Low Power Mode" event is logged whenever this happens.

Operator close and trip operations can be performed, but at a longer time interval than normal. If an operator trip or close request is denied, a "Cap Chrg" event will be logged.

To return to normal power mode, the auxiliary supply must have been switched back on for a minimum of 15 minutes, and the batteries may have to be replaced.

excess Close operations

During testing it is possible to carry out so many trip/close operations that the capacitor charging inverter shuts itself down before it overheats. It takes more than 20 operations within a minute to do this and is not going to happen while in service (it only happens during excessive testing).

When this happens the inverter shuts down for 5 minutes and a "Cap Excess Closes" event is logged. During this time all trip/close requests will be denied.

these batteries are capable of supplying very high currents� Always turn off the battery circuit breaker before connecting or disconnecting the batteries in the cubicle� Never leaveflyingleadsconnectedtothebattery�

fault finDing

ADVC Controller Check

Fault finding within the ADVC involves determining whether the fault lies in the electronic modules, the wiring or elsewhere. The electronic modules are user replaceable items. Other faults require the ADVC to be returned to the factory.

A suggested fault finding approach is as follows:

1: If the System oK LeD(s), located on the on the operator interface (O.I.), are flashing then the CAPE microprocessor is running. If the O.I. does not operate then follow step 4.

system oK LeDs are located in different places on the setVUE and flexVUE panels:

OPERATOR MENU - SWITCHGEAR STATUS - SWITCHGEAR DATA - Aux Supply Statuspage for an indications of any power supply problems (Aux Supply Fail and/or Battery OFF) which can be traced and rectified.

3: If the system oK LED is not flashing, check for loss of power. Check that the battery circuit breaker is on and that full battery voltage is present at the terminals. Check the presence of aux. supply on the aux. supply circuit breaker. Check that the supply between the PsU and CAPe has not been disconnected. Rectify if a problem is discovered.

4: If power supply is present then attempt to go on-line with WSOS to determine whether the CAPE is functioning correctly. Replace the CAPE if required.

5: If this does not rectify the problem then the ADVC Controller should be returned for factory repair.

replaceMent of electronic MoDuleS anD upgraDeS

Electronic modules are user replaceable. Care should be taken to avoid damage to the modules while they are outside the cubicle and replacement should only be carried out by competent personnel.

PSU and CAPE firmware can be upgraded through WSOS. Refer to the Operator Manual for further details.

Removal of parts from modules will void the warranty�

FtIM Compatibility

The FTIM is compatible with the ADVC Controller range. If a controller will be used with an FTIM, a connection cable for the module has to be included during manufacturing. It is therefore necessary to specify the intended use of an FTIM when ordering the controller. Note this connection cable cannot be retrofitted in the field.

An FTIM can be used with controllers displaying one of the following part numbers on the rating plate:

Part number 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th

88xxxx2xxx 8 8 x x x x 2 x x x



The part number has to start with “88” and the 7th digit must be a “2”, “3” or “5”.

ioex & ftim installation

The IOEX &/or FTIM must be fitted to the upper accessory mounting tray.

Removing and installing the mounting tray1:

It is very easy to remove the upper accessory mounting tray:

1. Undo and remove the self locking nuts and washers;

2. Rotate the accessory tray to the slide-out position by lifting the bottom of the tray away from the cubicle; and

3. Slide the tray to your left.

To install the upper tray, locate the accessory tray hinges to the left of the brackets in the top corner of the cubicle. Use the corner as a guide and slide the tray to your right. The self-locating hinges will guide the tray into the brackets. Continue to slide the tray until the hinges are completely inside the brackets. Rotate the tray into the lock-down position and fasten the nuts.

Attaching the IoeX2:

Method:

1. Remove the Upper Accessory Mounting Tray from the ADVC ULTRA cubicle;

2. Two mounting options are provided on the tray (Left and Right). Select a convenient option;

3. Align the IOEX to the 4 holes as indicated. Using the screws and washers provided, attach the IOEX to the tray. Tighten the screws to 4Nm of torque; and

4. Fit the tray containing the IOEX in the Upper Accessory Mounting Space using the existing mounting points (see Figure 31.: (page 12-2)).
