With the release of the IEC 62271-200 standard, new
definitions and classifications of Medium Voltage
switchgear have been introduced.
One of the most significant changes is that classification
of switchgear into metal-enclosed, compartmented and
cubicle types has been abandoned.
The revision of switchgear classification rules has been
based on the users point of view, in particular on aspects
like service and maintenance of the switchgear, according
to the requirements and expectations for proper
management, from installation to dismantling.
In this context, Loss of Service Continuity (LSC) has been
selected as a fundamental parameter for the user.
According to the IEC 62271-200, UniGear ZS1 switchgear
can be defined as follows.
Loss of service continuity - LSC-2B
The various LSC categories describe the possibility of
keeping other compartments and/or panels energized while
a compartment in the main circuit is opened. The defined
categories are:
LSC-1: The whole switchgear shall be put out of service for
opening a main circuit compartment for normal operation
and/ornormal maintenance or for gaining access to any
switchgear components.
LSC-2A: The same as LSC-1 with the exception that the
main busbars and the functional units adjacent to the one
under maintenance can remain energized.
LSC-2B: The same as LSC-2A with the exception that the
cable compartment can remain energized.
UniGear ZS1 is classified as LSC-2B because the busbar,
circuit-breaker and cable compartments are physically and
electrically segregated.This is the category that defines the
possibility of accessing the circuit-breaker compartment
with the busbars and cables energized. In case of using the
fixed version of the switch-disconnector, the panel is defined
LSC-2A because the cable and apparatus compartments are
not phisically segregated.
Partition Metallic - PM
With regard to the type of partitions or shutters between
live parts and an open compartment, a distinction is made
between two partition classes:
Class PM (Partition made of Metal);
Class PI (Partition made of Insulating material).
UniGear ZS1 is defined with PM partition class having the
segregation between compartments made of metallic sheets/
shutters.
Interlock-controlled accessible
compartment
The front side of UniGear ZS1 is classified interlock-controlled
because the access of the compartments containing high-
voltage parts, intended to be opened for normal operation
and/or normal maintenance, is controlled by the integral
design of the switchgear.
Tool-based accessible compartment
The rear part of the UniGear ZS1 is classified tool-based
because it is possible to open the compartment containing
high-voltage parts, that may be opened, but not for normal
operation and maintenance, only using a tool. Special
procedures are required.
Internal arc classification IAC AFLR
UniGear ZS1 switchgear is classified IAC AFLR.
When the switchgear is specified and installed, some
fundamental points must be taken into consideration:
Level of the fault current (16...50 kA).
Duration of the fault (0.1...1s).
Escape routes for the hot and toxic gases produced by
combustion of materials.
Dimensions of the room, with special attention to the height.
Please consult your ABB representatives for detailed
information.

Compartments
Each switchgear unit consists of three power compartments:
circuit-breaker [A], busbars [B] and cables [C]; please refer to
figure 1.
Each unit is fitted with a low voltage compartment [D], where
all the auxiliary instruments are housed.
Arc-proof switchgear is normally provided with a duct [E] for
evacuation of the gases produced by an arc; different types of
gas ducts are available.
All the compartments are accessible from the front and
maintenance operations can correctly carried out with the
switchgear installed up against a wall.
The compartments are segregated from each other by
metallic partitions.
Main busbars
The busbar compartment contains the main busbar system
connected to the upper isolating contacts of the circuit-
breaker by means of branch connections.
The main busbars are made of electrolytic copper.
For ratings up to 2500 A, the busbars are flat bars; while for
currents between 3150 A and 4000 A, a special D-shape
busbar is used.
The busbars are covered with insulating material.
There is a single busbar compartment along the whole length
of the switchgear up to 31,5 kA, which optionally can be
divided into compartments. For 40/50 kA these bushings are
a standard feature.
Cable connections
The cable compartment contains the branch system for
connection of the power cables to the lower contacts of the
circuit-breaker.
The feeder connections are made of electrolytic copper and
they are flat busbars for the whole range of currents.
For 17.5 and 24 kV they are covered with insulating material.
Earthing switch
Cable compartment can be fitted with an earthing switch for
cable earthing.
The same device can also be used to earth the busbar system
(measurements and bus-tie units).
It can also be installed directly on the main busbar system in a
dedicated compartment (busbar applications).
The earthing switch has short-circuit making capacity.
Control of the earthing switch is from the front of the
switchgear with manual operation, and optionally, can also be
motor operated.
The position of the earthing switch can be seen from the
front of the switchgear by means of a mechanical coupled
indicator.
Earthing busbar
The earthing busbar is made of electrolytic copper and it runs
longitudinally throughout the switchgear, thereby guaranteeing
maximum personnel and installation safety.
Insulating bushings and shutters
The insulating bushings in the circuit-breaker compartment
contain the contacts for connection of the circuit-breaker with
the busbar compartment and cable compartment respectively.
The insulating bushings are of single-pole type and are made
of epoxy resin. The shutters are metallic and are activated
automatically during movement of the circuit-breaker from the
racked-out position to the operation position and vice versa.
Cables
Single and three-core cables up to a maximum of twelve per
phase can be used depending on the rated voltage, the unit
dimensions and the cable cross section (please refer to page
40).
The switchgear can be back to wall installed as the cables are
easily accessible from the front.

Gas exhaust duct
The gas exhaust duct is positioned above the switchgear and
runs along its whole length.
Each power compartment is fitted with a flap on its top
surface. The pressure generated by the fault makes it open,
allowing the gas to pass into the duct.
Evacuation from the room of the hot gases and incandescent
particles produced by the internal arc must normally be
carried out. The UniGear ZS1 switchgear can be fitted with a
complete range of solutions to satisfy all requirements, either
in the case where evacuation is possible directly at the end
of the switchgear, or when solutions from the front or rear are
requested.
Some installations, such as marine applications, do not
allow evacuation of the gases to the outside of the room and
therefore a dedicated solution has been developed to
guarantee personnel safety and conformity with the
Standards, such as longitudinal evacuation chimneys.
Please contact your ABB sales representative for more
information.
Busbar applications
Each switchgear unit can optionally be fitted with an
accessory busbar application:
current or voltage transformers for busbar measurements.

The UniGear ZS1 switchgear has undergone all the tests
required by the international (IEC) Standards and local
Standards organizations (for example, the Chinese GB/DL
and Russian GOST standards).
In addition, the tests required by the main shipping
registers (LR, DNV, RINA, BV and GL) have been carried
out for use of the switchgear in marine installations.
As indicated in these standards, the tests were carried
out on the switchgear units considered most sensitive
to the effects of the tests and therefore the results were
extended across the whole range.
Each switchgear unit is subjected to routine tests in the
factory before delivery.
These tests are intended to provide a functional check of
the switchgear based on the specific characteristics of
each installation.

Figure 2: UniGear ZS1 during internal arc test
Description of IEC type tests
Short-time and peak withstand current
The test shows that the main power and the earthing circuits
resist the stresses caused by the passage of the short-circuit
current without any damage.
It should also be noted that both the earthing system of the
withdrawable circuit-breaker and the earthing busbar of the
switchgear are subjected to the test.
The mechanical and electrical properties of the main busbar
system and of the top and bottom branch connections remain
unchanged even in the case of a short-circuit.
Temperature rise
The temperature rise test is carried out at the rated current
value of the switchgear unit and shows that the temperature
does not become excessive in any part of the switchgear unit.
During the test, both the switchgear and the circuit-breaker or
contactor it may be fitted with are checked.
Internal arc capability
Please refer to page 14.
Dielectric test
These tests verify that the switchgear has sufficient capability
to withstand the lightning impulse and the power frequency
voltage.
The power frequency withstand voltage test is carried out as a
type test, but it is also a routine test on every switchgear unit
manufactured.

Figure 3: inclination test Figure 4: vibration/seismic test
Type tests required by the shipping
registers
High ambient temperature
The service conditions for the electrical apparatus in marine
installations are generally more severe than those in normal
land applications.
Temperature is a main factor and for this reason the shipping
register regulations require the switchgear to be able to
operate at higher ambient temperatures (45 C or higher) than
those stated in the IEC Standards (40 C).
Inclination
The test is carried out by inclining the switchgear for a defined
time up to 25 alternately on all four sides and operating the
apparatus.
The test proves that the switchgear is able to resist these
extreme service conditions and that all the apparatus it
contains can be operated without any problems and without
being damaged.
Vibration
The reliability and sturdiness of the UniGear ZS1 switchgear
has been definitively proved by the result of the withstand test
to mechanical stresses due to vibration. The service
conditions on shipping installations and marine platforms
require the switchgear to work in environments strongly
affected by vibrations, such as those caused by the motors
on large cruise ships or the drilling plants of oil rigs.
1 mm amplitude in the frequency range between 2 and
13.2 Hz.
0.7 g acceleration amplitude in the frequency range
between 13.2 and 100 Hz (see picture on the previous
page).
Circuit-breaker making and breaking capacity
The circuit-breaker or contactor is subjected to the rated
current and short-circuit current breaking tests.
Furthermore, it is also subjected to the opening and closing of
capacitive and inductive loads, capacitor banks and/or cable
lines.
Earthing switch making capacity
The earthing switch of the UniGear ZS1 switchgear can be
closed under short-circuit. Although, the earthing switch is
normally interlocked to avoid being operated on circuits which
are still live.
However, should this happen for any one of several reasons,
personnel safety would be fully safeguarded.
Mechanical operations
The mechanical endurance tests on all the operating parts
ensures the reliability of the apparatus. General experience in
the electro-technical sector shows that mechanical faults are
one of the most common causes of a fault in an installation.
The circuit-breaker is tested by carrying out a high number of
operations - higher than those which are normally carried out
by installations in the filed.
Furthermore, the switchgear components are part of a quality
control program and samples are regularly taken from the
production lines and subjected to mechanical life tests to verify
that the quality is identical to that of the components subjected
to the type tests.
IP protectiondegree
The IP protection degree is the resistance offered by the
UniGear ZS1 against penetration of solid objects and liquids.
This degree of resistance is indicated by the prefix IP followed
by two charachters (i.e. IP4X).
The first number identifies the degree of protection against the
entrance of solid objects, the second one is related to liquids.
14
When developing modern medium voltage switchgear,
personnel safety must necessarily take priority. This is
why the UniGear ZS1 switchgear has been designed and
tested to withstand an internal arc due to a short-circuit
current of the same current level as the maximum short-
time withstand level.
The tests show that the metal housing of UniGear
ZS1 switchgear is able to protect personnel near the
switchgear in the case of a fault which evolves as far as
striking an internal arc.
An internal arc is a highly unlikely fault, although it can
theoretically be caused by various factors, such as:
Insulation defects due to quality deterioration of the
components. The reasons can be adverse environmental
conditions and a highly polluted atmosphere.
Overvoltages of atmospheric origin or generated by the
operation of a component.
Inadequate training of the personnel in charge of the
installation.
Breakage or tampering of the safety interlocks.
Overheating of the contact area, due to the presence
of corrosive agents or when the connections are not
sufficiently tightened.
Entry of small animals into the switchgear (i.e. through
cable entrance).
Material left behind inside the switchgear during
maintenance activities.
The characteristics of the UniGear ZS1 switchgear notably
reduce the incidence of these causes for faults, but some of
them may not be eliminated completely.
The energy produced by the internal arc causes the following
phenomena:
Increase in the internal pressure.
Increase in temperature.
Visual and acoustic effects.
Mechanical stresses on the switchgear structure.
Melting, decomposition and evaporation of materials.
Unless suitably protected, these phenomena have very
serious consequences for the personnel, such as wounds
(due to the shock wave, flying parts and the doors opening)
and burns (due to emission of hot gases).
The internal arc test verifies that the compartment doors
remain closed and that no components are ejected from the
switchgear even when subjected to very high pressures, and
that no flames or incandescent gases penetrate, thereby
ensuring safety of the personnel near the switchgear.
The test also ensure that no holes are produced in external
accessible parts of the housing, and finally, that all the
connections to the earthing circuit remain intact, hence
guaranteeing the safety of personnel who may access the
switchgear after the fault.
The IEC 62271-200 Standard describes the methods to
be used for carrying out the test and the criteria which the
switchgear must conform to.
The UniGear ZS1 switchgear fully conforms to all the five
criteria indicated by the IEC standards.
The IAC classification is proved by the test according to the
following designations:
General: classification IAC (Internal Arc Classified)
Accessibility: A, B or C (switchgear accessible to authorized
personnel only (A), to all (B), not accessible due to
installation (C)
F, L, R: access from the front (F Front), from the sides (L
Lateral) and from the rear (R rear).
Test values: test current in kiloamperes (kA), and duration in
seconds (s).
The parameters of each specific plant mean that evacuation
of the hot gases and incandescent particles must be checked
very carefully in order to ensure and maintain personnel safety.
Fault limiting systems
The structure of the UniGear ZS1 switchgear offers complete
passive type protection against the effects of a fault due to an
internal arc for a time of 1 second up to 50 kA.
ABB has also developed excellent active protection systems
which allow very important objectives to be achieved:
Detection and extinction of the fault, normally in less than
100 ms, which improves network stability.
Limitation of damage on the apparatus.
Limitation of outage time for the switchgear unit.
For active protection against an internal arc, devices
consisting of various types of sensors can be installed in the
various compartments, which detect the immediate outburst
of the fault and carry out selective tripping of the circuit-
breakers.
The fault limiting systems are based on sensors which use the
pressure or light generated by the arc fault as trigger for fault
disconnection.

ITH
The ITH sensors consist of micro-switches positioned on the
top of the switchgear near the gas exhaust flaps of the three
power compartments (busbars, circuit-breaker and cables).
The shock wave makes the flaps open and operate the
micro-switches connected to the shunt opening release of the
circuit-breaker.
Total tripping time is 75 ms (15 ms ITH + 60 ms circuit-
breaker).
TVOC
This system consists of an electronic monitoring device located
in the low voltage compartment which is connected to optic
sensors. These are distributed in the power compartments and
are connected to the device by means of optic bres.
When a certain pre-set light level is exceeded, the device
opens the circuit-breakers.
To prevent the system from intervening due to light occasionally
generated by external phenomena (ash of a camera,
reections of external lights, etc.), current transformers can also
be connected to the monitoring device.
The protection module only sends the opening command to the
circuit-breaker if it receives the light and short-circuit current
signal simultaneously.
Total tripping time is 62 ms (2 ms TVOC + 60 ms circuit-
breaker).
REA
This system offers the same functionality as TVOC. The REA
system consists of the main unit (REA 101) and optional
extension units (REA 103, 105, 107) which make it possible to
create customized solutions with selective tripping. For more
information, please see the dedicated chapter at page 50.
Total tripping time is 62,5 ms (2,5 ms REA + 60 ms circuit-
breaker).

Arc protection in IED
The REF615, RET615, REM615 and REF610 IEDs (Intelligent
Electronic Device) can optionally be fitted with a fast and
selective arc flash protection. It offers a two-to three-channel
arc-fault protection system for arc flash supervision of the
circuit breaker, cable and busbar compartment of switchgear
panels.
Total tripping time is 72 ms (12 ms IED + 60 ms circuit-
breaker).
UFES (ultra fast earthing switch)
The UFES is an innovative design of an extremely fast-acting
earthing switch, grounding all 3 phases within < 4 ms after
detection of an internal arc fault.

Figure 6: Double key lock on earthing switch
The UniGear ZS1 switchgear is fitted with all the
interlocks and accessories needed to guarantee the
highest level of safety and reliability for both installation
and personnel.
Interlocks
The safety mechanical interlocks are standard ones [15],
please see the dedicated table at page 17.
They are set out by the IEC standards and are therefore
necessary to guarantee the correct operation sequence.
ABB safety interlocks guarantees the highest level of reliability,
even in the case of an accidental error, and enables highest
operator safety system of interlocks.
Keys
The use of key interlocks is very important in realising the
interlocking logics between panels of the same switchgear, or
of other medium, low and high voltage switchgear. The logics
are realised by means of distributors or by ringing the keys.
The apparatus truck [6] can be locked in the racked-
outposition and the relevant lock key can only be removed
with the apparatus in this position.
The earthing switch closing [7] and opening [8] operations can
be locked by means of keys, key logic is explained in the table
at page 15.
These locks can also be applied to the earthing switch of
busbar applications.
The circuit-breaker racking-in/out operations [9] and earthing
switch opening/closing [10] can be prevented by means of
key locks, which prevent insertion of the relevant operating
levers.
The key lock can also be applied to the earthing switch of
busbar applications. The keys can always be removed.
Padlocks
The circuit-breaker [11] and cables [12] compartment doors
can be locked in the closed position by means of padlocks.
These can be applied to both door closing versions with
central handle (standard) or screws (optional).
The operations for apparatus racking-in/out [13] and earthing
switch opening/closing [14] can be prevented by applying the
padlocks to the insertion slots of the relevant operating levers.
The padlock can also be applied to the earthing switch of
busbar applications.
The metallic segregation shutters [15] between circuit-breaker,
busbars and cables compartments can be locked by means
of two independent padlocks in both the open and closed
positions.
Padlocks from 4 to 8 mm diameter can be accommodated.
Locking magnets
The locking magnets enable automatic interlocking logics
without human intervention.
The circuit-breaker racking-in/out [16] and the earthing switch
closing/opening [17] operations can be interlocked.
This magnet can also be applied to the earthing switch of
busbar applications.
The magnets operate with active logics and therefore the lack
of auxiliary voltage leaves the interlocking system active in
safety condition.

1. UniGear ZS1
Vacuum circuit-breaker
UniGear ZS1 switchgear can be fitted with the widest
range of apparatus available on the market today, and of
these the vacuum circuit-breaker now occupies a position
of prime importance in all sectors of primary distribution.
Vacuum circuit-breakers cover the whole range of
switchgear parameters and therefore the whole range of
applications.
Many years of experience gained in developing and using
vacuum interrupters is today reflected in the range of
ABB circuit-breakers, which stand out for their
exceptional electrical and mechanical characteristics,
extremely long life, low maintenance, compactness and
the use of highly innovative construction techniques.
ABB develops and produces a complete range of
interrupters for use in circuit-breakers and contactors and
for all medium voltage applications.
Figure 7: UniGear ZS1

VD4 circuit-breaker
The VD4 medium voltage circuit-breaker interrupters use
vacuum to extinguish the electric arc and as the insulating
medium.
Thanks to the unequalled properties of vacuum and the
breaking technique used, current interruption takes place
without arc chopping and without overvoltages. Restoration
of the dielectric properties following interruption is extremely
rapid.
The VD4 circuit-breakers are used for protection of cables,
overhead lines, motors, transformers, generators and
capacitor banks.
Poles
The VD4 medium voltage circuit-breakers use vacuum
interrupters embedded in poles (
1
).
Embedding the interrupter in the pole makes the circuit-
breaker particularly sturdy and protects the interrupter itself
against shocks, deposits of dust and humidity.
The vacuum interrupter houses the contacts and provides the
interruption chamber.
ABB circuit-breakers use the most advanced vacuum-
breaking techniques: with radial magnetic flow for circuit-
breakers with medium-low ratings and with axialmagnetic flow
for those with high breaking capacity.
Both techniques guarantee even distribution of the arc roots
over the whole surface of the contacts, allowing optimum
performance at all current values.
The structure of a vacuum interrupter is relatively simple. The
housing is made up of a ceramic insulator closed at the ends
by stainless steel covers. The contacts are made of pure
copper and sintered chrome and are welded to the copper
terminals. A metallic bellows allows movement of the moving
contact-terminal group, at the same time guaranteeing that
the vacuum is maintained in the interrupter. The interrupter
components are welded in an environment under a very
strong vacuum to guarantee a vacuum of less than 10
-5
Pa in
the interrupter.
This means that the interrupter does not any ionisable
material. In any case, on detachment of the contacts, an
electric arc is generated which only consists of the melted
and vaporised material of the contact.
A metallic shield is integrated inside the interrupter to capture
the metallic vapours given off during interruption, as well as
for controlling the electric field. The particular shape of the
contacts generates a magnetic field which forces the arc to
rotate and to involve a much wider surface than that of a fixed
contact arc.
Apart from limiting the thermal stress on the contacts, this
makes contact erosion negligible and, above all, allows
theinterruption process to be controlled even with very high
short-circuit currents.
The electric arc remains supported by the external energy until
the current passes through its natural zero.
The ABB vacuum interrupters are zero current interrupters and
are free of any re-striking phenomena.
The rapid reduction of the current density and fast
condensation of the metallic vapours, that happens at the at
the instant that the current passes through zero, allow the
maximum dielectric strength between the interrupter contacts
to be re-established within a few milliseconds. Supervision of
the vacuum level is not necessary as the circuit-breaker poles
are sealed-for-life and do not require any maintenance.
(

) Circuit-breakers up to 17.5 kV - 1250 A - 31.5 kA are made off
polyamide poles.

Operating mechanism
The VD4 circuit-breaker is tted with a mechanical stored
energy type operating mechanism.
The trip free mechanism allows opening and closing operations
independent of the operator.
The operating mechanism spring system can be recharged
either manually or by means of a geared motor. The apparatus
can be opened and closed by means of the pushbuttons on
the front of the operating mechanism or by means of electric
releases (shunt closing, shunt opening and undervoltage).
The circuit-breakers are always tted with an anti-pumping
device to eliminate the possibility of simultaneous opening and
closing commands, closing commands with springs discharged
or with the main contacts not yet in their run-end position.
Truck
The poles and operating mechanism are xed onto a metal
support and handling truck.
The truck is provided with a wheel system which makes
the operations for racking the apparatus into and out of the
switchgear unit possible with the door closed. The truck allows
efcient earthing of the circuit-breaker by means of the metallic
structure of the switchgear unit.
The vacuum circuit-breaker truck can be motor-operated.
The racking-out and racking-in operations can be carried out
by means of electrical controls, either locally by the operator or
by a remote system.
Apparatus-operator interface
The front part of the circuit-breaker provides the user interface.
It features the following equipment:
ON pushbutton.
OFF pushbutton.
Operation counter.
Indicator of the circuit-breaker open and closed state.
Indicator of the charged or discharged state of the operating
mechanism springs.
Manual charging device for the operating mechanism
springs.
Override selector of the undervoltage release (optional).
eVD4 circuit-breaker
The eVD4 circuit-breaker is a complete plug and play medium
voltage electrical feeder protection system. It is an evolution
of the traditional concept of a circuit-breaker that with a single
device, can carry out the breaking, measurement, protection,
control and communication functions.
The eVD4 circuit-breaker is derived from the VD4 series with its
renowned reliability and robust characteristics.

Short-circuit currents too high?
The I
S
-limiter, a switching device with extremely short
operating time, solves the problem.
The rising global demand for energy requires more powerful
or additional transformers and generators, and an increasing
interconnection of the individual supply networks.
This can lead to the permissible short-circuit currents for the
equipment being exceeded causing severe dynamic or
thermal damage or even complete destruction.
The replacement of existing switchgear and cable connections
by new equipment with a higher short-circuit strength is often
technically impossible or uneconomical for the user.
The use of I
S
-limiters reduces the short-circuit current in both
new systems and expansions of existing systems, thus saving
cost.
A short-circuit downstream from an outgoing feeder breaker is
assumed. The oscillogram shown below indicates the course
of the short-circuit currents in the first half wave.
A short-circuit current of 31.5 kA can flow to the fault location
through each transformer. This would result in a total short-
circuit current of 63 kA, which is twice as much as the
switchgear capability.
The course of the current through the I
S
limiter in such an
event is shown below as current i
2
.
It can be seen that the I
S
-limiter operates so rapidly, that
there is no contribution via the transformer T2 to the total
peak short-circuit current (i

). Therefore, a switchgear
with a rating of 31.5 kA is suitable for this application.

Block type current transformers
The block type current transformers are epoxy resin insulated
and used to supply the measurement devices and protection
instruments. These transformers can have a wound core or a
bushing bar with one or more cores, with performance and
accuracy classes suitable for the installation requirements.
They conform to the IEC 60044-1 Standards.
Their dimensions are in accordance with the DIN 42600
Narrow Type Standard, in the Medium and Long Size versions
up to 2500 A, where they are of the toroidal type in the
range of currents from 3150 A to 4000 A (KOKS type).
The current transformers can also be provided with a
capacitive socket for connection to voltage signalling devices.
The current transformers are normally fitted on the load
side of the apparatus compartment for measurement of the
phase currents of the switchgear unit. Fitting on the supply
side of the apparatus compartment is also possible (busbar
applications) for measuring the busbar currents or for realising
particular protection schemes. The ABB range of current
transformers is designated TPU.
Ring core current transformers
The toroidal transformers are of the epoxy resin insulated type
and are used to supply measurement and protection devices.
These transformers can feature either a closed or openable
core.
They can be used both for measuring phase currents or for
detecting the earth fault current.
They conform with the IEC 60044-1 Standards.

Voltage transformers
The voltage transformers are of the epoxy resin insulated type

They are available for fixed assembly or for installation on
removable and withdrawable trucks.
They conform with the IEC 60044-2 Standards.

requirements of the instruments connected to them.
When they are installed on removable or withdrawable trucks
they are fitted with medium voltage protection fuses.
The withdrawable trucks also allow replacement of the fuses
with the switchgear in service. Truck racking-out with the
door closed automatically operates closure of a metallic
segregation shutter between the live parts of the switchgear
and the instrument compartment.
Fixed voltage transformers can be installed directly on the
main busbar system in a dedicated compartment (busbar
applications).

Measurement sensors
Figure 35: Linearity of advanced ABB sensors and example of output signal waveforms compared to conventional saturated CT
Electronic instrument transformers
Future for measuring currents and voltages in intelligent
UniGear is a low-power instrument transformer (according to
present IEC standards they belong to the group of Electronic
instrument transformers) called a sensor for short. These
products replace conventional instrument transformers of
both block and ring core types.
The characteristic feature of advanced ABB sensors is
the level of output signal, which is fully adapted to fit new
microprocessor-based equipment without the need of having
unnecessary power.
The analogue output signal level depends on the principle
used and can be:
In the range of mV for current sensor (typical value is 150
mV at rated primary current).
In the range of volts for voltage sensors where the division
ratio is 1:10000 (e.g. output 1/3 V for 10 000/3 kV
nominal system voltage at primary/input side).
The UniGear ZS1 can be fitted with KEVCD block type sensor
KEVCD is block type sensor with shape that conforms
to DIN size standard. Two versions could be selected:
one providing current measurement together with voltage
indication capability or second one, providing, in addition
to these, also voltage measurement possibility. All
measurements/sensings for each phase is realized within a
single body, so there is no need for additional devices.
Characteristics of the sensors
Construction of current and voltage sensors is done without
the use of ferromagnetic core. This fact results in several
important benefits for the user and the application:
sensor behavior is not influenced by non-linearity and
width of hysteresis curve; that results in accurate and
linear response over a wide dynamic range of measured
quantitites
single device/sensor could be used for both protection and
for measurement purposes (no need for a separate design/
product)
there are no hysteresis losses, so sensors are having
excellent frequency response also at frequencies different
from the rated one, thus providing very precise input to
protection functions, allowing more precise fault analysis
and efficient fault location.
sensors do not have dangerous states in operation (no
problem to keep output short-circuited or left open),
resulting in high safety for surrounding devices and
personell. The output signal remains very low even in fault
situations of the network.
the use of sensors disable the possibility of related
ferroresonance phenomena, thus even more increasing the
safety and reliability of the power network; furthermore,
there is no need for additional protection equipment, special
burden or wiring.
37
Figure 36: KEVCD block type current and voltage sensor
ABB sensors are connected to the measurement and
protection evaluation devices by means of shielded cables
and connectors, providing a high degree of immunity to
electromagnetic disturbances.
Accuracy of these sensors is verified and tested including the
cabling, so precise information is assured up to the evaluation
device.
Benefits of the sensors
Due to the linear response and wide dynamic range, sensors
are much more standardized devices (compared to a number
of different designs of CTs and VTs). Therefore, it is much
easier to select the appropriate design (it simplify engineering
tasks) and there could be also reduction in spare parts on
user side.
Significantly decreased power consumption during operation
of sensors due to negligible losses introduced by sensors
(no iron = no hysteresis losses; less winding and negligible
output current = small losses in sensor winding) results in
huge savings for lost energy and minimized temperature rise
(thus improving temperature conditions and ageing within
application). It also results in significantly lighter devices,
having weight only a fraction of that provided by conventional
CTs or VTs. Therefore, no special machines/tools are needed
to cary them and transport costs can be smaller.
Fast connection of sensors to IEDs without any tools and
material needed simplify and reduce assembly effort.

1. UniGear ZS1
Measurement sensors
Current sensor
The current sensor is based on Rogowski Coil principle.
Rogowski Coil work in the same manner as conventional iron-
core current transformers (CTs). The main difference between
Rogowski Coils and CTs is that Rogowski Coil windings are
wound over a non-magnetic core, instead of over an iron
core. As a result, Rogowski Coils are linear since the non-
magnetic core cannot saturate. Rogowski Coils produce
output voltage (U
S
) that is a scaled time derivative of the
measured primary current (I
P
).
Figure 37: Working principle of Rogowski Coil
Integration of the current sensor output signal is performed
within the connected IED in order to obtain the information
about actual current value.
In case of purely sinusoidal primary current (I ) at rated
frequency defined as:
the output voltage from the Rogowski Coil is
For this case, r.m.s. value of the output signal could be
easily measured even without integrator, using a voltmeter or
oscilloscope, observing a phase shift of 90 from the primary
current waveform.
Output voltage is phase shifted of 90 from the primary
current waveform.
Therefore, for simple and rough information about the
measured current signal, it is possible to use voltmeters with
high input impedance. Nevertheless, more exact and precise
information under transient conditions, content of different
frequency components or current waveform distortions
that appears in electric power network requires integration
of voltage signal comming out of Rogowski Coil. This
functionality is already available inside of IEDs provided by
ABB, so very precise measurement of the primary current is
available.
Output voltage of Rogowski Coil linearly depends on
frequency, therefore rated value of output voltage is 150mV
at 50Hz and 180mV at 60Hz. Once the rated frequency is
set in the IED, sensor provides precise information about the
measured primary current signal even for different harmonics
(no hysteresis losses and no saturation applies) and thus
correct performance for all protection functions is assured.
In theory, response of Rogowski coil output is linear in
unlimited dynamic range of the measured primary current.
Constraints in their use originates from other limitations, e.g.
application size, fixations etc. Only single coil is sufficient to
cover whole range of primary currents needed, e.g. KEVCD
sensor type contains a primary conductor and due to this fact
just two types are needed to cover the primary current range
from 0 to 3200A.
They conform to the IEC 60044-8 standard.

For information about the measured voltage signal, it is
possible to use voltmeters with high input impedance,
nevertheless the use of ABB IEDs is recommended as this
connection has been tested and verified.
Resistive voltage divider has no ferromagnetic core and
no winding. Therefore, there is no risk of ferroresonance
phenomena as in case of VTs and no additional damping
devices are needed for that purpose. The use of such dividers
significantly increase safety and reliability of the network
as well as enhance safety towards the personnel under all
circumstances. There is also no problem or danger in case
the secondary terminals are short-circuited. Furthermore, the
sensor can remain connected even during switchgear voltage
tests at power frequency.
The resistive divider correctly operates even during transients
where DC as well as other frequency components are
present (no ferromagnetic core inside of the divider means no
possibility for saturation at different frequencies). This enable
undistorted evaluation of transients and precise analysis of
protection functions. Apart from the possibility to measure
DC components during transients, resistive voltage divider
enables also precise continuous DC voltage measurement at
steady-state.
Due to linear response and no possibility of saturation a single
divider is sufficient to cover the range of voltages from 0 to
24kV. Nevetheless, in case of overall voltage sensor body,
other mechanical requirements or dimensions/distances for
different voltage levels may need to be taken into account.
For that case, two different heights of KEVCD sensor are
available, fitting to standard DIN dimensions. Selected sensor
version could then be used also for voltage levels lower then
maximum rated primary voltage.
They conform to the IEC 60044-7 Standards.
Voltage sensor
The voltage sensor is based on a principle of resistive voltage
divider. It consists of 2 resistive elements which divide the
input signal to the level that is possible to connect to a
standard LV measuring devices.
The main difference between resistive voltage divider and
conventional voltage transformer (VT) is their working
principle. In case of VTs, voltage is induced in the winding. In
case of voltage divider, voltage is simply divided in relation to
resistances of the resistive elements thus no induction takes
place.
Figure 38: Working principle of resistive voltage divider
Used resistors consists of a rod made of stable ceramic
material on which the special non-inductive resistive pattern is
applied.
The output signal is a voltage directly proportional to the
primary voltage so no integration or any extra processing is
needed.
In case of purely sinusoidal primary voltage (U
P
) at rated
frequency defined as:
the output voltage from resistive voltage divider is
Also for this case, value of the output signal could be easily
measured using a voltmeter or oscilloscope
Standard division ratio used in ABB sensors is 10000/1. This
assures the output signal to be sufficient and safe for further
processing within IED.

Cable terminations
Terminations for polymer insulated
cables 1 24 kV
It is crucial that power cables connecting the switchgear are
terminated properly, and for this purpose, ABB has developed
an excellent range of easy-to-use products for preparation
and termination of cables.
MV power cables are normally designed with a conductor
of aluminium or copper, an insulation of polymer material,
an extruded insulation screen, a metallic screen, armouring
(optional) and a polymeric outer jacket.
To enable safe and reliable current carrying properties, it
is necessary to achieve sufficient mechanical connection
between the cable conductor and the bus bar. ABB offers
mechanical cable lugs designed to fit the cable conductor by
bolting. It is also essential to guide the electrical field of the
cable correctly, and ABB offers Cold Applied terminations,
made of rubber, that create an active pressure around the
cable. Furthermore, if the cable is designed with another
type of metallic screen than copper wires, special earthing
kits must be used to achieve proper handling of possible
fault currents. The armouring of the cable must have the
same earth potential as the cable screen, so it might be
necessary to use additional connection accessories that are
also available. Detailed information can be found in separate
technical information for cable accessories.
Applications and features
Depending on the cable design, it is necessary to use the
correct type of cable accessory. When single core cables are
designed with copper wire screen only, it is sufficient to use
just a cable lug and a termination that fits the actual size of
the cable.
The benefit of Cold Applied accessories is that no heat or
open flame is necessary for installation (except for branch
seals on 3-core cables). After the cable is prepared, the
termination is simply slid on without any tools. If a three
core cable is used, or a cable with copper tape screen,
or aluminium foil screen, or a cable with armouring; then
additional material is required.
Another very important factor is correct cable preparation,
and ABB also offers excellent cable preparation tools.
Recommended cable termination products
The pre-moulded cable termination type Kabeldon SOT
can be used on any polymer cable irrespective of design or
conductor size. Type SOT 10 is designed for 7.2 kV cables,
while type SOT 24 covers 12, 17.5 and 24 kV. A few variants
of terminations fit a wide range of cable sizes. Extra material
such as earthing kits, crutch seals for 3-core cables and
screen potential material for cable armouring is also covered
by the ABB range of products. Please contact your ABB Sales
Representative for more information.

ABBs Power Protection Philosophy
With deliveries of protection IEDs (Intelligent Electronic
Devices) to more than 70 countries, ABB best understands
the requirements of diverse protection needs as a result
of wide ranging local legislation, safety requirements and
engineering practices. Therefore, ABB has developed a power
protection philosophy that not only serves the specific needs
and requirements of diverse power systems, but also creates
a feeling of confidence and peace of mind for both power
system owners and users alike.
The main purpose of an ABB IED power protection system
is to recognize any abnormal power system conditions, or
abnormally operating components within the power system.
Then, based on the information gathered by the IED, the
power protection system will initiate corrective actions to
return the power system to its normal operating state, or,
isolate the fault to limit damage to the power system and
injury to personnel. This provides a safe environment for all.
Power protection systems do not prevent power network
faults from arising, but it will be activated only when an
abnormality has occurred in the power system. However,
carefully matching the available protection functionality offered
by ABB IEDs to the specific power protection requirements
of the power system and its components not only provides
the best power protection for the power system, but also
improves the performance and the reliability of the power
protection system within it, thus minimizing the effects of
power network faults and preventing the abnormalities or
disturbances from spreading to the healthy parts of the power
network.

Advantages of a complete power
protection system
Operating speed, sensitivity, selectivity and reliability are
the integral elements of the power protection system and
need mentioning. There is a strong correlation between
the operating speed of the power protection system and
the damage and danger caused by a power network
fault. Substation automation provides remote control and
monitoring capabilities, which speeds up the location of
faults, and therefore the restoration of the power supply after
a fault. Fast operation of the power protection IEDs also
minimizes post-fault load peaks, which together with voltage
dips increase the risk of the power disturbance spreading
to healthy parts of the power network. The sensitivity of the
power protection must be adequate to detect relatively high
resistance earth faults and short circuits in the most distant
parts of the power network. Reliable selectivity is essential
in order to limit the loss of power supply to as small an area
as possible, and to allow the abnormal or faulted part of the
power network to be reliably located.
Corrective actions can then be directed to the abnormal or
faulty part of the network, and the supply can be restored as
rapidly as possible.
The power protection system must also have a high degree
of reliability. This also means that if for example a CB (circuit-
breaker) fails to operate, the backup power protection will
identify the fault and react.
Substation Automation (SA) puts the operator in perfect
control of the substation. In addition to the SA system
improving the power quality of the power transmission
and distribution network under normal operation, it
especially improves the quality of the power transmission
and distribution networks available power in a situation of
disturbance and during substation maintenance. A SA system
or SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) system
brings the full benefits of numerical technology into protection
and control of power networks. The terminals are easily set
and power protection parameters configured to the specific
needs of the power system through easy and safe access via
the operators workplace.
Single-function and multi-function
terminals
Correct power protection methods and comprehensive
functionality increase the performance of the power protection
system.
The definition of comprehensive functionality varies with the
requirements of the protected power network or system.
While single-function power protection IEDs are sufficient for
some network applications, more complex power networks
and systems need advanced multi-functional power protection
IEDs. Single-function Power protection IEDs include a set of
power protection functions for, for instance, a specific feeder
application type.
The main advantages of these power protection IEDs are
redundancy and price. One or more single-function power
protection IEDs would provide sufficient protection in most
power protection application areas.
44
Feeder protection
The power protection applications can be roughly divided into
two categories, namely standard applications (utilizing basic
current based protection) and high requirement applications
(utilizing current and voltage based protection) and then also
the combinations of the two.
The selected power protection scheme or system has to fulfill
the application-specific requirements regarding sensitivity,
selectivity and operating speed of the power protection.
The power protection requirements are mainly determined by
the physical structure of the power network or system and
in most cases the requirements can be fulfilled with non-
directional/directional over-current protection IEDs.
In power networks or systems with a more complex structure
more advanced power protection functions like distance
protection or line differential protection may have to be
introduced.
The purpose of the over-and under-voltage power protection
system is to monitor the voltage level of the network. If the
voltage level deviates from the target value by more than the
permitted margin for a set time period, the voltage protection
system is activated and it initiates actions to limit the duration
of this abnormal condition and the resulting stresses caused
to the power system or its components.
To prevent major outages due to frequency disturbances,
the substations are usually equipped with under-frequency
protection IEDs, which in turn control various power load-
shedding schemes.These are just a few examples of the major
power protection functions for power feeders.
Applications and features
Depending on the requirements a suitable IED type can be
selected and configured in such a way that an overall solution
can be found for different feeder types.
Generally, the required power protection functionality of these
feeder types differ greatly depending on, amongst other
things, the characteristics of the source of the fault current
and the type of advanced functions that may be additionally
needed to fulfill the basic requirements of the power
protection application.

Figure 55: Single-line diagram of UniGear ZS1switchgear with REF542plus architecture applied, suitable for carrying out automatic
and manual transfer (ATS), as well as the switchgear protections and measurements
Automatic transfer systems are used to ensure
maximum service continuity, supplying the power users
uninterruptedly.
All this is possible using various systems based on
different kinds of techniques.
The most common of these are outlined below, with the
relevant average transfer times:
Delayed: 1500 ms
Depending on the residual voltage: 400-1200 ms
Synchronised (ATS): 200-500 ms
High speed (HSTS): 30-120 ms
The first two systems are the simplest and can also be
achieved with conventional logics and instruments.
They guarantee average transfer times and can therefore be
used in installations where voltage gaps are not particularly
critical.
On the other hand, the other two systems (ATS Automatic
Transfer System and HSTS High Speed Transfer System)
require microprocessor-based apparatus with high technology
content.
They guarantee fast transfer times and their application is
in plants where the process is particularly critical, so that
transfers which are not extremely fast would cause serious
malfunctions or interruption of the process itself.
ABB is able to offer all the transfer systems, from the simplest
to the most complex.
ATS
The REF542plus unit can be used in medium voltage
switchgear to manage automatic and manual transfer
between two different incoming feeders.
The time needed for automatic transfer carried out by means
of the REF542plus unit is between 200 and 300 milliseconds
(including the circuit-breaker operating times).
This time can vary within the range indicated in relation to the
complexity of the software transfer logics.
Switchgear equipped with REF542plus, suitably programmed,
are complete and efficient systems able to manage transfer
between one power supply system and an alternative one,
or to reconfigure the network, passing from double radial
distribution to a simple system, in a fully automatic way.
It is also possible to carry out the same operation manually
from a remote control station, or from the front of the
switchgear under user supervision.
Manual transfer means making the passage parallel: by means
of the synchronism control function (synchro-checkcode 25)
implemented from the REF542plus, the power supply lines
are closed simultaneously with synchronisation of the voltage
vectors to then return to being disconnected when transfer
has taken place.
The applications described do not require additional
instruments.

SUE3000 High Speed Transfer Device
Voltage decreases or complete supply interruptions represent
the most important and critical problems for the quality of
energy supply today. The SUE3000 High Speed Transfer
Device guarantees an optimum safeguarding of energy supply.
The device ensures the continued supply to the consumer
through automatic transferring of power to a stand-by feeder
and protects the subsidiary process from expensive stoppage
time. Furthermore, through the possibility of manually-initiated
power transfers for targeted clearings, for example the
installation is considerably simplified.
Application areas
The SUE3000 High Speed Device can be implemented in
applications where a disturbance of the electrical power
supply would lead to a breakdown in production and the
resulting costs or loss in productivity.
Possible areas of utilization include for example:
Auxiliary installation serving power stations
Environmental technology installations
Voltage supply to continuous industrial processes.
In order to realize a permanent availability of power, the load
is supplied from at least two synchronized feeders which are
independent from one another and which are equipped with
SUE3000 High Speed Transfer Devices.
In doing so, the SUE3000 High Speed Transfer Device has
the task of ensuring uninterrupted continuous operation of
the connected devices in case of a power supply breakdown,
taking into account different physical factors; by way of the
fastest possible transfer to a standby feeder.
Corresponding to its multifaceted areas of application, the
SUE 3000 is set up for different switchgear arrangements.
Permanent network comparisons
An exceptionally important characteristic, that clearly
distinguishes the SUE3000 High Speed Transfer Device
from competing concepts, is that synchronicity criteria are
continuously available, e.g. that they are computed online by
the SUE3000.
For that reason, in case of an initiation, the transfer mode
which comes under consideration is already determined and
can be immediately initiated. This means that the probability
of a fast transfer is considerably enhanced. Systems which
wait for the instant of initiation to initiate the determination of
the network status have no opportunity, when one considers
the physical givens, to perform a fast transfer with minimum
interruption time.
Transfer modes and times
Four different transfer modes are available in detail: Fast
transfer, Transfer at the 1st phase coincidence, Residual
voltage transfer, Time-operated transfer. The fast transfer is
the optimum transfer mode for ensuring in case of fault that
only a minimum interruption of the voltage supply occurs. In
case of fast transfer the total transfer time, counting from a
fault in the main feeder until the standby feeder is cut in, is
less than 100ms.

2. UniGear ZS1 - Double Busbar System
Description
When ABB developed UniGear ZS1, the double busbar
system was included since the beginning.
The users of UniGear ZS1 double busbar system are
mainly power utility companies, main substations and
heavy industries. In any case the using of this product
is highly recommended where there is the request to
increase the service continuity.
The use of UniGear ZS1 double busbar switchgear is
necessary when some of the following features are required:
Load shedding of outgoing feeders with a different level of
importance during emergency conditions;
Isolation of particular outgoing feeders from the normal
network;
Outgoing feeders balancing on two busbar systems during
normal operating condition;
Flexibility during inspection and maintenance procedures
without switchgear load interruption;
Extension of switchgear without shutdown.
Motor operated line-disconnector that permit fast switching
between the two busbar systems during emergency
situations (only possible with Bus-tie transversal closed).
Free access to one busbar system during maintenance
operations while the other is in operation and the
considered unit is out of operation.
Incoming feeders and the most important outgoing feeders
can be equipped with two circuit-breakers in order to allow
apparatus redundancy.
Circuit-breaker maintenance and testing without feeder
shutdown.
Fewer number of components and less switching
apparatus.

The UniGear ZS1 double busbar systems are based on two
different panel types:
Two busbar systems, two busbar-disconnectors and one
circuit-breaker (up to 2500 A-12-17.5 and 2000 A-24 kV);
Two busbar systems, two circuit-breakers compartments
with one or two circuit breakers, this version is called duplex
system (up to 4000 A-12-17.5 kV and 2500 A-24 kV).
Both types provide full busbar system redundancy
(physical isolation between source busbar systems) and allow
uninterrupted and reliable service conditions.
Thanks to the numerous standard units available, the
switchgear can be suitably configured to satisfy all
configuration requirements.
Each switchgear panel can be equipped with circuit-breakers.
All the significant components and accessories are identical
to those used for UniGear ZS1 single level and double level
units and therefore the same operation and maintenance
procedures are guaranteed.
ABB double busbar system can be provided with single
section or two or more sections in order to satisfy the most
demanding customer request.
For examples refer to the two sections:
One section of double busbar (please refer to figure 61).
Two sections of double busbar (please refer to figure 62).

Compartments
Each panel is made up of four independent power
compartments: apparatus (A), busbar 1 (B1), busbar 2 (B2)
and cable (C), please refer to page 69.
There is a metallic segregation between all the compartments.
In its front/top part the panel is fitted with a compartment to
take the auxiliary instruments (D).
UniGear ZS1 double busbar system is arc-proof version and
supplied with a duct for the evacuation of the gases produced
by an arc (E).
Each compartment of the unit is fitted with a flap on the top
surface. The pressure generated by the fault makes this open,
allowing the gas to pass into the duct.
The apparatus compartment is accessible from the front. Door
closing of these compartments is available in two versions,
with screws or central handle.
Removal of the apparatus from the switchgear (circuit-
breakers and contactors) and from its relative compartments
takes place by means of a single dedicated truck.
The busbar and cable compartment are accessible from the
rear of the switchgear by means of removable panels.
All the normal service operations are carried out from the
front, whereas maintenance and start-up operations also
require access from the rear of the switchgear.
Busbar disconnectors
IF unit busbar-disconnectors are designed to act as two
position switches - open and closed positions - and operation
is manual (e.g. without springs assistance).
The opening and closing operation of the busbar-disconnector
is operated from the front of the panel.
The position of the busbar-disconnector is indicated on the
front of the panel with mechanical coupled indicators.
The busbar-disconnectors are clearly separated and the
relevant busbar compartments are segregated from each
other in order to achieve the following:
It should be possible to carry out maintenance and also
extend the switchgear with additional units, keeping one
of the two busbars systems energised.
A fault generated in one compartment (e.g. insulation
discharge) will not generate any damage to the others or
require the shutdown of the unit.
Busbar-disconnectors are provided with limit switches for
the detection of operating position and they can be operated
manually or, as an option, motor operated.
The busbar-disconnectors are provided with the necessary
interlocking facilities.
The interlocks between the two line disconnectors and the
circuit breaker are implemented by means of locking magnets.

the rating of the disconnector).
Additional protective insulating caps are mounted on both
sides of the insulator, thus providing the device with a high
level of reliability.

3. Marine applications
Description
The Marine Market is divided into four different segments:
Passenger vessels (cruise ships and ferries).
Industrial vessels (shuttle tankers, drill ships, oil carriers,
cargo vessels, etc.).
Rigs (drill and oil rigs).
Navy.
In this type of application the temperature range, vibrations
and variable inclination are particularly severe conditions that
impact the functional requirements of on-board components
such as the switchgear.
ABB is the leading manufacturer of air-insulated switchgear
for marine applications, installed by all main shipyards (Brazil,
China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, Korea,
Italy, Norway, Singapore, Spain, UK and USA).
The switchgear suitable for marine applications is UniGear
ZS1 in single and double level arrangement up to 7.2-12 kV
rated voltage (with the option for 17.5 kV), with the need for
many dedicated features and some special typical units.
Over 10,000 ABB panels are in service in the world on board
all kind of ships.
Registers and end-customers (shipyards or ship owners)
require switchgear manufactured to comply with Shipping
Register test requirements for on-board apparatus.
For this purpose, tests have been performed in compliance
with the main Shipping Register regulations; DNV, LR, RINA,
BV, GL, ABS, KR and Russian regulations.
In order to guarantee the necessary comfort and facilities,
high power generation plants and control systems must be
concentrated in significantly reduced overall dimensions.
UniGear ZS1 can be offered in single level with the possibility
to be coupled with double level; it offers a wide range of
apparatus and control units to satisfy marine installation
requirements.
UniGear ZS1 switchgear provides the ideal technical solutions
for marine applications:
Arc-proof construction, mechanical safety interlocks,
automatic segregation shutters and apparatus control
with the door closed guarantee personnel safety during
installation, operation and maintenance;
High degree of protection (up to IP43) on the external
enclosure;
Metallic partitions between each compartment and earthing
of all components accessible to personnel: apparatus,
shutters, doors and the whole switchgear frame;
High fre resistance thanks to minimal use of plastic and resins:
the auxiliary equipment and wiring are highly self-extinguishing.

Shore connection
Ships generate emissions while docked in port by running their auxiliary engines to
create onboard electric power.
In ports with heavy ship traffic, this practice creates emissions and negative health
and environmental impact to the local surrounding communities.
As global trade steadily expands, ship emissions represent an ever-increasing
environmental concern.
Sustainability is today a key area of focus in the shipping industry, where strong
measures are being taken on several fronts to dramatically reduce ship emissions.
One such measure is shore-to-ship electric power supply, which eliminates pollution
problems and particle discharge as well as noise and vibration from ships in port.
UniGear ZS1 Shore Connection panel is delivered as a finished cabinet solution with
both a power module and a control module.
Depending on the system configuration and onboard requirements, the cabinet
may be supplied with cable connectors located in the front of the cabinet or with
openings for cable entry through the cabinet floor.
All equipment is constructed and factory tested according to international standards
and classification society rules.
Ambient conditions for classification of on-board apparatus
Ambient temperature from 0 C to + 45 C
Inclination up to 25 permanent
Vibration in the frequency range of 2 100 Hz at the following motion width

Fully type tested
The UniGear ZS1 switchgear has undergone all the tests required by the
international (IEC), in addition, the tests required by the main shipping registers
(LR, DNV, RINA, BV, GL, KR and Russian) have been carried out for use of the
switchgear in marine installations.
For more information about dedicated tests required by main shipping registers,
please refer to page 13.

3. Marine applications
Characteristics
The features required for marine application, which are not
part of the standard design, are described here below.
Degree of Protection
On request, the external housing of UniGear ZS1 can be
supplied with different degrees of protection, the standard
one requested for marine application is IP42 or IP43; where:
IP42: protection against foreign bodies with diameter 1mm
and against water ingress at 15 maximum inclination;
IP43: protection against foreign bodies with diameter 1mm
and against water ingress at 60 maximum inclination.
Duct for secondary wirings
On the top of the switchgear and exactly above the low
voltage compartment as an option can be supplied the wiring
duct.
Into this duct there are positioned the terminal boards related
to the interpanel wiring between panels.
Gas duct
UniGear ZS1 is arc-proof version and supplied with a duct for
the evacuation of the gases produced by an arc.
The duct is fixed on the top of the auxiliary compartment.
In marine plants, the exhaust gases cannot normally be
evacuated out of the room and therefore the gas duct must
always be closed on both the end-sides and equipped with
top chimneys.
If there are cases where it is possible to evacuate hot gases
out of the room, the gas duct with outlet can be supplied.
Doors
The door of the apparatus compartment and the rear panel is
always supplied with handrails.
In addition, all the doors (low voltage, apparatus and cable
compartments) are equipped with an appropriate stop to fix
them in the open position.
Cables
UniGear ZS1 single level
Single level IF and IFM units are usually delivered in the
deeper version (1650-1700 mm). This design will allow the
following targets to be achieved:
bottom and top cable entry;
appropriate cable terminal distance (minimum
requirements):
- 700 mm in case of bottom entry;
- 1000 mm in case of top entry.
Standard depth IF units (1340-1390 mm) are also used as an
alternative in case of problems with space.
This feeder version will only allow bottom cable entry and
a cable terminal distance in the range of 440535 mm,
depending on the rated current.
UniGear ZS1 double level
All the described recommendations for single level units must
be applied to double level units.
The cable terminal distance of IF units is 600 mm for all the
following configurations:
Bottom entry (both feeders);
Top entry (both feeders);
Bottom and top entry (one feeder from top, one feeder from
bottom).
77
Thermo-graphic inspection
Thermographic inspection is normally required on power cable
terminations and sometimes on main busbar systems.
Customers are normally much more sensitive to the former,
because cable termination faults represent a considerable
percentage of all the faults in switchgear, whereas faults in
main busbar systems are quite rare.
Thermo-graphic inspection and supervision can be done in
two ways:
Temporary inspection by means of an IR camera through an
appropriate inspection window;
Continuous supervision by means of IR sensors located
inside the switchgear.
The first system (temporary inspection) requires an IR camera
and an inspection window for each compartment to be
supervised.
The second system (continuous supervision) requires the
continuous thermal monitoring.
This is a non-touch temperature monitoring system based on
IR temperature probes connected to a central unit (up to 8
sensors can be plugged in to each central unit).
Due to the switchgear design constraints, the main busbar
Thermo-graphic inspection can only be carried out using
the continuous thermal monitoring system.
The power cables can be supervised with both solutions.
With regard to UniGear ZS1 double Level, we can point out
that due to the switchgear design constraints, both the main
busbar and the power cables thermo-graphic inspection can
only be carried out using the continuous thermal monitoring
system.

For the typical units used in marine application please refer
to page 58 for UniGear ZS1 single level and page 86/87 for
UniGear ZS1 double level.The required units, which are not
part of the standard design, are described here below.
Earthing transformer units
From the electrical point of view, marine plants are based on
isolated networks (isolated neutral point).
The main consequences are as follows:
the network can be operated with single-phase earth fault;
earth fault detection is very difficult, due to the very low
earth fault current.
In order to increase this and therefore allow releases to
operate on single-phase earth faults, two solutions can be
used:
connecting the secondary winding of the generator to
ground by means of a resistor;
installing an earthing transformer in the network.
For this reason, the UniGear ZS1 range must be enhanced
with two addition typical units:
ME: Busbar metering unit with earthing transformer feeder;
RE: Rise with earthing transformer feeder.
In the case of switchgear with a single busbar section, ME
can be used for this purpose; in the case of switchgear
equipped with two busbar sections, both ME and RE units
must be used, in order to cover all the schemes.
Additional features of Measurement and
Riser units
Out of choice, M and R units should be equipped with fixed
Voltage Transformers instead of withdrawable VTs with fuses.
In this configuration the apparatus compartment, where
is placed the VTs truck, will be used as an additional
auxiliary compartment. It is fully segregated from the power
compartments with metallic partitions and designed as a low
voltage compartment with respect to the safety rules.
The inside rear and side walls of the compartment is fitted
with the grid plate for fixing the auxiliary equipment.
This will be equipped with the relevant left-hand side duct for
wiring entry from the bottom and exit to the top-mounted Low
voltage compartment.

UniGear ZS1 Double Level
Description
Figure 71: Example of complete UniGear ZS1 double level configuration
UniGear ZS1 is also available as single busbar system
in the double level configuration. Each panel consists of
two completely independent superimposed units and is
functionally identical to two single-level units placed side
by side.
Thanks to the numerous standard units available, the
switchgear can be suitably configured to satisfy all installation
requirements. Each unit can be equipped with circuit-breakers
or contactors, as well as with all the accessories available for
UniGear ZS1 single level units.
All the signicant components are identical to those used
for the single-level units and therefore the same service and
maintenance procedures are guaranteed.
The UniGear ZS1 double level switchgear is mainly distinguished
by its efcient use of space. All the congurations allow a
drastic reduction in the space occupied, with special regard
to the width of the switchgear (30...40% less in typical
congurations).
Its use is recommended in installations with a high number of
feeders, fitted with either circuit-breakers or contactors.
It can be used as a motor control center for applications up to
12 kV.
All the electrical characteristics of the double and single level
units are identical.
The overall rated current of the busbar system is given by the
sum of the currents of the two top and bottom half-busbars.
The double-level units can be coupled directly to single-level
units, with the possibility of extension on both sides of the
switchgear.
The switchgear requires access from the rear for the
installation and maintenance procedures, while all the service
operations are carried out from the front.
The UniGear ZS1 double level switchgear can be used in two
typical configurations:
Complete with double-level.
Compound with simple and double-level.
83
Figure 72: Example of UniGear ZS1 single and double level configuration
The complete solution only uses double level panels to realise
all the standard units: incoming feeders, bus-tie, riser, busbar
measurement and outgoing units.
The compound solution in contrast, uses both the simple and
double level solution: the former for the incoming feeders,
bus-tie and riser compartments, the latter for the busbar
measurement and outgoing units.
The complete double level solution makes it possible to
achieve the maximum reduction in installed dimensions
and can be used for relatively limited rated currents (1600
A maximum current of the incoming feeders). It is normally
used to construct local distribution switchgear, with a limited
number of outgoing feeders.
The field of application of the compound solution is aimed at
main distribution switchgear, with high rated currents (3150
A maximum current of the incoming feeders) and numerous
outgoing feeders.

Compartments
Each panel consists of two superimposed units [1st level
and 2nd level] and each unit is therefore made up of three
independent power compartments: apparatus [A], busbar [B]
and cable [C] (please refer to page 89).
There is metallic segregation between all the compartments.
In its middle part, the panel is fitted with a compartment to
accomodate the auxiliary instruments of both the units [D].
This solution means the apparatus interfacing with the user
is at a convenient height. In the top part of the panel, an
additional compartment is available to house any further
instruments provided [d].
The arc-proof switchgear is normally fitted with a duct for
evacuation of the gases produced by an arc [E].
Each compartment of the unit placed on the 2nd level is
fitted with a flap on the top surface. The pressure generated
by the fault makes this open, allowing the gas to pass into
the duct. The gases produced by faults generated in the
power compartments of the unit placed on the 1st level are
evacuated towards the main duct by means of a dedicated
duct placed laterally to the switchgear [e]. Each compartment
of the switchgear panel placed on the 1st level is fitted with
a flap positioned on the side of the switchgear. The pressure
generated by the fault makes this open, allowing the gas to
pass into the duct. This solution means the units placed on
the 2nd level are not affected by this fault.
The apparatus compartments are accessible from the front.
Door closing of these compartments is available in two
versions, with screws or central handle. Removal of the
apparatus from the switchgear (circuit-breakers, contactors
and measurement truck) placed on the two levels and from
its relative compartments, takes place by means of a single
dedicated fork-lift truck. This truck can also be used for the
same procedures for the single level units.
The busbar and cable compartments are accessible from the
rear of the switchgear by means of removable panels.
All the normal service operations are carried out from the
front, whereas maintenance and start-up operations also
require access from the rear of the switchgear.
3. Marine Applications
UniGear ZS1 Double Level
Characteristics
85
Figure 73: Mixed configuration of UniGear ZS1 single and double level
The characteristics of the busbar system, branch connections,
earthing busbar, earthing switch, insulator bushings and
shutters are the same as those for the single level units.
A maximum of six single or three-core cables per phase can
be used depending on the rated voltage, on the switchgear
panel dimensions and on the cross-section of the cables.
Configurations
The typical switchgear panels available allow the most suitable
configurations for the installation requirements.
The incoming/outgoing feeder panel [IF] is the most widely
used: both switchgear levels consist of units of this type and
can be used both as incoming and outgoing feeders.
The bus-tie [BT] and riser [R] units are used to arrange
complete double-level switchgear configuration.
These units are positioned on the 2nd level, whereas the
incoming/outgoing feeder units are included in the 1st level.
The bus-tie units can be fitted with current transformers on
the load side of the circuit-breaker for busbar measurement.
Installation of the current transformers on the supply side is
also possible to realise special protection schemes. The riser
compartment is also available in the version with withdrawable
instrument truck with voltage transformers with fuses [RM].
The mixed configuration with single and double level requires
connection between the two sections of switchgear by means
of the connection unit. This unit makes all the connections
between the two types of switchgear (busbars, earthing
busbar, gas exhaust duct, ducts for connection of the auxiliary
circuits) and can integrate the earthing switch of the busbars
[J] and also the withdrawable instrument truck with voltage
transformers with fuses [JM]. These units are positioned on
the 2nd level, whereas the incoming/outgoing feeder units are
included on the first level.
