Design philosophy
SafeRing and SafePlus ABB switchgear for secondary

distribution
Secondary distribution switchgears have been subject to a
significant development the past 20 years,resulting in
increased functionality and smaller dimensions.
The traditional switching cells are substituted with complete
switchgear systems. Specific functions as grounding, disconnecting, cable connections, busbar extension, protection
and switching have become integrated features in compact
functional units.
Compact switchgear systems meet customers MV application
needs. ABB has always been a part of this development.
The current ABB SafePlus range satisfies the most complex
system specifications.
The most unique specialisation is the development of the
cable ring switchgear. The numerous public distribution
substations requested a unified switching functionality which
evolved into the Ring Main Unit concept.
ABB SafeRing range is one major contributor to this
specialisation.
Two Products One range
ABB SafeRing is adapted to the needs in the immense utility
distribution network.
ABB SafePlus offers more in terms of flexibility and electrical
capacity.
Both switchgear offer the same customer interface.
Customers involvement
The applied functionality in ABB SafeRing and SafePlus is a
result of input from customers all over the world.
Key customers are continuously involved with ABB design
staff to ensure optimized switchgear operation. The functionality will always find its background from customer demands.
Personnel safety and service
Safety is not only a specification and rating issue, but also a
real life experience.
Standards and associated testing will disclose weakness
at time of testing. ABB takes this further to be an objective
related to durability and repetitive manufacturing quality.
All products are manufactured in accordance with ISO 9001.

The latest edition of relevant IEC standards will always apply
to our continuous product development and test program.
Integrated functionality is a key objective to reduce the
number of moving components, further reducing the risk of
any mechanical defect.
We are responsible for the environment
The location for manufacturing SafeRing and SafePlus is
Norway. Norways green policy contributes to focus on
environmental factors in manufacturing as well as over the
switchgears life span.
All products are manufactured in accordance with our ISO
14001 certification.
Recycling is confirmed at a 97% level.
To simplify this process we will continuously along with our
partners develop routines for handling at end of life.
Plastic parts are individually marked to simplify the recycling
process.
Solutions for elimination of gas emission in the rare event of a
fault can be supplied.
Modern - development and manufacturing
Numerical simulations together with long experience will
ensure compact and robust design.
Dielectric simulations will ensure that compactness will not
influence the dielectric capability.
The combination of design techniques, experience and the
most modern production technology guarantee state of the
art products and durability.
Complete solutions one supplier
Complex applications involving remote control and monitoring
can now be supplied from one supplier.
This makes large scale implementation feasible, and will
simplify engineering and procurement.
The control and monitoring unit available for SafeRing is
located behind the front cover. This option is also readily available for retrofit, while such demands normally evolve after the
switchgear is in service.

Covers
Upper and lower front cover have a thickness of 3 mm aluminium which is covered with a polycarbonate foil. These foils
contain the mimic diagram of the main circuit with the position
indicators for the switching devices. Background colour for
these foils is light grey (RAL 7035). The upper front cover is
removable. The lower front cover can be opened.
There are four different cable compartment covers; standard,
with inspection window, arc proof and with extra depth for
parallel cables. These covers are manufactured from 1.25 mm
aluzink (except the arc proof cover) and are powder painted
with colour RAL 7035.
All cable compartment covers are removable. Each module
has a separate cable compartment which is divided from the
others by means of partition walls. These partition walls can
easily be removed, allowing a comfortable access for connection of cables.
A vertical partition wall is fitted to divide the cable
compartment(s) from the rear side of the switchgear / ring
main unit.
In case of an arc fault inside the SF6 tank, followed by an
opening of the pressure relief in the bottom of the tank, this
partition wall will prevent the hot gases blowing out from the
pressure relief to enter the cable compartments.
Side covers are made of 2 millimeter hot rolled steel and powder painted with colour RAL 7035.

Cable switch module
The cable switch (C-Module) is a three positioning switchdisconnector and earthing switch using SF6 gas as an arc
quenching medium.
The switch positioning is close open earthed. In the open
position the switch satisfies the disconnector requirements.
C-module equipped with arc suppressor (optional equipment)

and cable test bushings (optional equipment).
28 Cable switch module | Product Catalogue
Vacuum circuit-breaker module
The vacuum circuit-breaker (V-Module) has vacuum bottles as

interrupters of the current.
In series with the circuit-breaker main circuit is connected a
three-position disconnector/earthing switch.
The operation between vacuum circuit breaker and disconnector/earthing switch is mechanically interlocked.
Product catalogue | Vacuum circuit-breaker module 29
Switch-fuse module
The switch-fuse (F-module) has a three positioning switch

disconnector and earthing switch identical to the cable switch
(C-module).
By means of the fuse tripping device it operates as a switchfuse combination. There is a double earthing switch which in
earthed position connects earth to both sides of the fuse-links
simultaneously.
Both earthing switches are operated in one operation. The
switch-fuse and earthing switch is mechanically interlocked to
prevent hazardous access to the fuse-links.
The lower cover which gives access to the fuse-links is also
mechanically interlocked with the earthing switch.
3-ways unit consisting of two C-modules and one F-module.

Both C-modules are equipped with arc suppressor (optional
equipment) and cable test bushings (optional equipment).
30 Switch-fuse module | Product Catalogue
Cable bushings
The connection of the HV-cables is made by cable bushings.

The bushings are made of cast resin with moulded-in conductors. In addition, a screen is moulded in to control the electrical field and is also used as the main capacitor supplying the
voltage indicating systems.
ABB has produced bushings for SF6 switchgears since 1985.
Up to date production facilities and highly advanced robots
and test equipment ensure the high quality required for each
single device.
A very high number of units have been installed worldwide
in distribution networks, power stations and industrial complexes.
Used together with full-screened connectors an ideal solution
for areas with a history of humidity or condensation problems
is achieved. The bushings are designed according to Cenelec
EN 50181, EDF HN 52-S-61 and IEC 60137.
There are 5 different cable bushings:
Interface A (200 series with plug-in contact, In=200A)
Interface B (400 series with plug-in contact, In=400A)
Interface C (400 series with M16 bolted contact, In=630A)
Interface C (400 series with M16 bolted contact) and inte
grated voltage and current sensors (In=630A)
Interface D (600 series with M16 bolted contact, In=630A)
Product catalogue | Cable bushings 31
Arc suppressor
The arc suppressor is an optimal quick-make short circuit device with a mechanical pressure detector that can be installed
with each incoming feeder inside the sealed SF6 tank of the
SafeRing and SafePlus switchgear.
If an arc fault should occur inside the SF6 tank the pressure
detector of the arc suppressor will automatically trip the short
circuit device of the incoming feeder(s) within milliseconds,
thereby transforming the arc fault into a bolted fault.
The arc is extinguished without any emission of hot gases and
the bolted short circuit will be interrupted by the upstream
circuit-breaker.
No links or release mechanisms are installed outside the tank.
Corrosion and any environmental influences are therefore
prevented, giving optimum reliability.
The pressure detector is insensitive to pressure changes due
to variation in atmospheric temperature or pressure as well as
external phenomena such as vibrations or shocks.
The arc suppressor will operate for short-circuit currents in
the range of 1kArms to 21kArms and it will reduce the generated arc energy to less than 5% of the arc energy released
during an arcing time of 1 sec.
A signalling device (1NO) will indicate local or remote the tripping of one or more arc suppressors.
Since the system is self-contained, an internal arc fault will
have no impact on the surroundings. No arc fault tests have
to be repeated in combination with channel release systems
or transformer stations.
The costs of the cleaning work which has to be done after
an internal arc fault when the release flap has opened, are
reduced to zero.
32 Arc suppressor | Product Catalogue
Completely sealed system
SafeRing and SafePlus use SF6 gas (Sulphur hexafluoride) as

insulation and quenching medium.
The SF6 is contained in a welded stainless steel tank, which is
hermetically sealed.
The pressure system is defined as a sealed for life system
with an operating life time exceeding 30 years. The leakage
rate is less than 0,1% per year.
In order to guarantee a reliable and tight welding, all welding
work is carried out by computer controlled robots.
Electrical and mechanical bushings penetrating the tank are
clamped and sealed to the tank by high quality O-rings.
The mechanical bushing has in addition a rotating shaft which
connects the shaft of the switch to the corresponding shaft of
the mechanism. The rotating shaft is sealed by a double set of
gas seals.
All SF 6-tanks have to pass a leakage test, before gas filling. Leakage test and gas filling are done inside a vacuum
chamber. The first step in the leakage test is to evacuate all
air inside both SF 6-tank and vacuum chamber simultaneously.
Then the SF 6-tank is filled with Helium. Due to the characteristics of Helium this test will detect absolutely all possible
leakages. If the SF 6-tank passes this test, the Helium will be
evacuated and replaced by SF 6.
The SF6-tank has a degree of protection of IP67, and can be
immersed into water and still maintain all functions in a satisfactory way.
Product catalogue | Completely sealed system 33
Cable test bushings
As an option, both C- and De-modules can be equipped with

cable test bushings situated behind the lower front cover.
This cover can be interlocked against the earthing switch to
avoid access to the cable test compartment before earthing
switch is in closed position.
When these bushings are mounted, cable insulation test can
easily be done according to the following procedure:
Principle sketch for testing:

1. Close the earthing switch after having checked the voltage
indicators
2. Open compartment cover
3. Install the injection device onto the access terminals
4. Open the removable earthing bridge
5. Perform cable testing
6. Re-install the earthing bridge
7. Remove the injection device
8. Close compartment cover
9. Open the earthing switch
If the switchgear is not equipped with cable test bushings,
cable testing is possible directly at the cable connectors if
they are designed for this purpose, please follow the suppliers instruction.
34 Cable test bushings | Product Catalogue
Mechanisms and interlocks
C-module
F-module
V-module
All operating mechanisms are situated outside the SF6-tank

behind the front covers with degree of protection of IP2X.
This gives the opportunity of easy access to all operating
mechanisms if retrofit or service should be required. The
speed of operation of these mechanisms is independent of
the operator.
To prevent access to cable compartment before earthing
switch is in closed position, all mechanisms can as an option
be supplied with mechanical interlocks which make it impossible to remove the cable compartment covers. It will then also
be impossible to operate load break / disconnector switch to
open position before cable compartment cover is mounted
properly.
Each mechanism is equipped with a padlocking device. When
adding a padlock to this device, the access to operate the
mechanism will be impossible. This device has three holes
with diameter 9 millimeter.
Mechanisms front view.

SF6-tank with operating mechanisms.
All operating mechanisms are equipped with position indicators for all switches. In order to achieve true indication,
indicators are directly connected to the operating shafts of the
switches inside the SF6-tank, please see shafts shown with
red colour on next page.
Operating handle has an anti-reflex system which prevents an
immediate re-operation of the switch.

SF6
Air
Cable switch module and Busbar sectionalizer with load break

switch
The mechanism (3PKE) has two operating shafts; the upper
one for the load break switch and the lower one for the earthing switch.
Both shafts are single spring operated and operate one common shaft which is directly connected to the three position
switch (CFE-C) inside the SF6-tank. When both load break
switch and earthing switch are in open position, the switch
satisfies the specifications of disconnector.
C-mechanism
Due to the mechanical interlock between the upper and lower

operating shaft, it is impossible to operate the load break
switch when earthing switch is in earthed position or operate
the earthing switch when the load break switch is in closed
position.
SF6
Air
Switch-fuse module
The mechanism (3PAE) has two operating shafts; the upper
one for the load break switch and the lower one for the earthing switch.
The upper one operates two springs; one for closing and one
for opening. Both springs are charged in one operation. By
means of mechanical push buttons it is then possible to close
and open the load break switch.
F-mechanism
The opening spring is always charged when the load break

switch is in closed position and will be ready to open the load
break switch immediately if one of the HV-fuse-links blow.
The blown fuse-link(s) has/have to be replaced before the
operator will be able to close the load break switch again.
According to IEC 60282-1, all three fuse-links should be replaced, even if only one or two have operated.
The lower shaft is single spring operated. Both operating
shafts operate one common shaft which is directly connected
to the three position switch (CFE-F) inside the SF6-tank.
Due to the mechanical interlock between the upper and lower
operating shaft, it is impossible to operate the load break
switch when earthing switch is in earthed position or operate
the earthing switch when the load break switch is in closed
position.
It will also be impossible to get access to the fuse compartment before earthing switch is in closed position.

Vacuum circuit breaker and busbar sectionalizer with circuit
breaker
These two modules have two mechanisms; the upper one
(2PA) with one operating shaft is for circuit breaker and the
lower one (3PKE) with two operating shafts is for disconnector and earthing switch.
The upper mechanism has two operating springs; one for
closing and one for opening.
Both springs are charged in one operation. By means of
mechanical push buttons it is then possible to close and open
the circuit breaker.
V-mechanism
The opening spring is always charged when the circuit breaker is in closed position and will be ready to open immediately
if the protection relay gives a trip signal.
However a quick reclosing is not possible. If the mechanism is
equipped with a motor operation a reclosing will take approx.
10 seconds.
The lower mechanism is identical to the one described above
for cable switch module.
There is a mechanical interlock between these two mechanisms which prevents operating of the disconnector and
earthing switch when the circuit breaker is in closed position.
When the earthing switch is in closed position it will be impossible to operate the disconnector, but the circuit breaker
can be closed for testing purpose.

External busbars on top
On the top of all SafeRing and SafePlus switchgears it is possible as an option to have bushings for connection of external
busbars on the left and / or right side.
SafePlus
For a SafePlus switchgear consisting of only one module, only

one set of bushings on the top is used.
When bushings are mounted on the top, you will have these
possibilities:
SafePlus prepared for future extension on right hand side

Base frame
When SafeRing or SafePlus are placed directly on a floor, the

height from the floor to the centre of the cable bushings is
595 millimeter. If there is no cable trench, this height might
not be sufficient for proper installation of cables. It is then
possible to place the switchgear on an additional base frame.

SafeRing
If motor operation, coils, auxiliary switches, self powered

protection relay etc. are mounted on a SafeRing or SafePlus
module, the terminal blocks and the wiring are located behind
the front covers.
However, an additional top entry box can be mounted on the
top of all SafeRing and SafePlus switchgears. Since the top
entry box is fixed to the side covers of the SF6 tank, the total
width of the switchgear must be covered.
Top entry box with A-meter and selector switch
The top entry box allows entrance of the customers low voltage wiring from the rear side, left hand side and right hand
side.
Furthermore the top entry box gives the opportunity to install
ammeters with position switches, local/remote switch for motor operation etc.
Additionally all SafePlus switchgears can be supplied with low
voltage compartment.
This compartment may be equipped with protection relays,
meters, position switches, terminal blocks etc.
Side view
The compartment is fixed to the side covers of the SF6 tank

and must cover the total width of the switchgear.
However, each module has a separate hinged door, but there
are no partition walls between the modules.
The low voltage compartment has the possibility of cable
entry from either left or right hand side.

Motor operation
Closing and opening operations of load-break switches and

charging of the springs of the mechanisms for the circuit
breaker and the switch-fuse combination may be performed
with a motor operation.
Disconnector in the V-module and all earthing switches do not
have this possibility.
All motor devices require DC voltage. If control voltage is
either 110 or 220 VAC, a rectifier is integrated in the control
unit.
Operating cycle for motor operation is CO - 3 min (i.e. it may

be operated with a frequency of up to one close and one
open operation every third minute). Motors and coils can easily be mounted to the mechanisms after delivery (retrofit).
Test voltage for tables below is + 10/ - 15 % for motor operations and closing coils and +10/ -30% for trip coils and opening coils.
The motor and coils can easily be mounted to the mechanisms after delivery (retro-fit).

Transformer protection
SafeRing
SafeRing and SafePlus offer a choice between a switch fuse

combination and circuit breaker in combination with relay for
transformer protection.
The switch-fuse combination offers optimal protection against
short-circuit currents, while the circuit-breaker with relay
offers better protection against low over-currents. Circuit
breaker with relay is always recommended for higher rated
transformers.
SafeRing is delivered with a 200 A rated V-module.
SafePlus V- module has two options: 200 or 630 A rating.

Both for SafeRing and SafePlus the relay is a self powered relay that utilizes the energy from the CTs under a fault situation,
for energizing the trip coil.

The self powered relay can also be used for cable protection and more details on the different relays can be found in
chapter 6.5.
Transformer protection with self powered relay.
Recommended types:
ABB relay type REJ 603
SEG WIC 1
Important features V-module:
Relay behind cover. No need for additional low voltage box
for the self powered relays used for transformer protection.
SafeRing and SafePlus - Fuse-link selection

by selection of fuse-links for the protection of a transformer,
itis important that requirements in IEC 62271-105 and in IEC
69787 are fulfilled. In particular annex A in IEC 62271-105
gives a good example of the coordinationof fuse-links, switch
and transformer.
Correct selection of fuse-links for the protection of the transformer will give:
Optimal protection of the transformer
No damage on the fuse-links fuse-elements due to the
magnetizing inrush current of the transformer
No overheating of the fuse-links, the switch-fuse combi-
nation or the switchgear due to the full load current or the
permissible periodic overlaod current of the transformer
A transfer current of the combination which is as low
as possible, and less than the rated transfer current of the
switch-fuse combination
A situation where the fuse-links alone will deal with the
condition of a short-circuit on the transformer secondary
terminals
Fuse-links that discriminate with the low-voltage fuse-links
in the event of phase-to-phase faults occurring down
stream the low-voltage fuse-links
By carefully checking that these rules are followed, fuse-links
from any manufacturer can be used in combination with
SafeRing and SafePlus as long as the fuse-links are in
accordance with the requirements described in chapter 6.5
Typical for vacuum circuit breaker protection:

Good protection against short-circuits
Very good for protection of over currents
Small fault currents are detected in an early stage

Fuse-links
SafeRing and SafePlus are designed and tested for fuse-links

according to IEC 60282-1
The dimensions of the fuse-links have to be in accordance
with IEC 60282-1, Annex D. The fuse-links have to be type I
with terminal diameter equal to 45 +1 mm and body length (e)
equal to 442 mm.
The dimensions of the fuse-links can also to be in accordance
with DIN 43625 and the length of the fuse canister is based
on the use of fuse-links with length 442 mm. For installation of
shorter fuses, (<24kV ) a fuse adapter will be needed.
Please note: When inserting the fuse-link into the canister, the
striker-pin must always face outwards against the fuse holder.
Fuse adapter has to be fixed to the fuse-link contact part
which faces inwards in the fuse canister.
1600 kVA is the maximum size of distribution transformer
which can be fed from a SafeRing / SafePlus switch-fuse
module. For higher rated transformers, we recommend our
vacuum circuit breaker module with CTs and protection relay.

REF630
REF630 is a comprehensive feeder management IED for
protection, control, measuring and supervision of utility and
industrial distribution substations. REF630 is a member of
ABBs Relion product family and a part its 630 product
series characterized by functional scalability and flexible configurability. REF630 also features necessary control functions
constituting an ideal solution for feeder bay control.
REF630 provides main protection for overhead lines and cable
feeders of distribution networks. REF630 fits both isolated
neutral networks and networks with resistance or impedance
earthed neutral. Four pre-defined configurations to match typical feeder protection and control requirements are available.
The pre-defined configurations can be used as such or easily
adapted or extended with freely selectable add-on functions,
by means of which the IED can be fine-tuned to exactly satisfy
the specific requirements of your present application.
REF630 incorporates local and remote control functions. The
IED offers a number of freely assignable binary inputs/outputs
and logic circuits for establishing bay control and interlocking
functions for circuit breakers and motor operated switch-disconnectors. REF630 supports both single and double busbar
substation busbar layouts.

Sensor variants
Two versions could be selected: one providing voltage
measurement together with voltage indication capability
(KEVCY 24 RF1), or a second one, providing, in addition to
these, also the possibility of current measurement
(KEVCY 24 RE1).
Linearity
Due to the absence of a ferromagnetic core the sensor has
a linear response over a very wide primary current range, far
exceeding the typical CT range.
Current sensor
Current measurement in KEVCY 24 RE1 sensors is based on
the Rogowski coil principle. A Rogowski coil is a toroidal coil,
without an iron core, placed around the primary conductor in
the same way as the secondary winding in a current transformer.
Voltage sensor
Voltage measurement in KEVCY 24 RE1 and KEVCY 24 RF1
sensors is based on the capacitive divider principle
Sensor application
KEVCY 24 RE1 & RF1 are compact and very small bushing
type sensors designed to be used in SF6 gas insulated
switchgear type SafeRing and SafePlus.
The external cone type of the sensor is designed according to
the standard EN 50181, Interface C (400 series 630 A,
M16 bolt), and therefore enables connection of all compatible
cable plugs.
Secondary cables
The sensor is equipped with two cables:
Cable for coupling electrode with BNC connector
Current and voltage signal cable with RJ-45 connector for
connection with the IED
The cable connector for connection with the IED is type
RJ-45. The sensor accuracy classes are verified up to the
RJ-45 connector, i.e. considering also its secondary
cable. This cable is intended to be connected directly to
the IED, and subsequently neither burden calculation nor
secondary wiring is needed. Every sensor is therefore
accuracy tested when equipped with its own cable and
connector.

Capacitive voltage indication
Capacitive voltage indicating system

SafeRing / SafePlus can be supplied with two different types
of capacitive voltage indication systems:
Voltage Detection System, type HR
SafeRing / SafePlus can be delivered with a voltage Detection
System, (VDS) acc. to IEC 61243-5.
HR-module (VDS)
Portable voltage indicators, type VIM-1 and VIM-3 can be

connected to the coupling system interface, see below for
details.
The VDS solution is designed and tested for reliable operation
in heavily polluted and humid environments.
Voltage Presence Indicating System
SafeRing/SafePlus are normally delivered with a Voltage
Presence Indicating System (VPIS) acc. to IEC 61958.
VPIS
The coupling system has integrated voltage indicators (LEDs).

The VPIS solution is the recommended choice for normal
indoor operating conditions.
Coupling system
VDS or VPIS are situated on the front of the switchgear, one
for each functional unit.
The voltage condition for each cable terminal is shown by
separable (VDS) or integrated (VPIS) voltage indicators.
Identification of the phases is achieved by labels on the front
of the coupling system / voltage indicator.
Phase balance check
The coupling systems of both solutions VDS and VPIS have
connection points for phase balance checking.
If the VDS coupling systems have permanently connected
indicators (VIM-3), these must be removed before phase balance checking can be done.
Phase balance checking should be done with a recommended
phase comparator, type PCM, (for details see below). PCM
can be used for phase balance checking between identical
coupling systems (VDS or VPIS).
Particular care should be taken when phase balance checking
is done between different coupling systems.
In this case a universal Phase Comparator (VPC acc. to IEC
61243-5) is recommended.

Short-circuit indicator
Horstmann SIGMA Short-circuit Indicator

The SIGMA short-circuit indicator is designed for distribution
networks using radial or open-ring operation. The instrument
is provided with three short-circuit current transformers which
are mounted onto the bushings of the switchgear. When the
phase current exceeds the preset trip level, the fault-affected
phase is indicated by a bright LED flashlight as the remote
signal contact gets activated. If a second tripping occurs
within a preset time, for example when automatic re-closing
is in process, this condition is indicated by a double flashing
LED.

Short-circuit indicator
Horstmann ComPass A Short-circuit and Earth Fault Indicator

The ComPass A is a combined short-circuit and earth fault
indicator along with the feature of load current measurement. It can be operated in radial and open ring distribution
networks. Three cable-type current transformers are used to
detect short-circuits and earth faults, and to measure the load
current. The ComPass A permanently measures the phase
currents and indicates either the earth fault or the short-circuit
on the display once the trip levels have been exceeded. Besides the permanent indications of the actual load current and
frequency values, this design also allows for active storage of
load current data in the form of maximum values measured
in the last 24 hours and 365 days. RS-485/modbus interface
can be used to remotely indicate and to read the relevant
data.
Horstmann ComPass B Directional Short-circuit and
Directional Earth Fault Indicator
The ComPass B instrument provides the same functions as
the ComPass A. The ComPass B also features directional
detection of short-circuits and directional detection of earth
faults in all networks//neutral earthing connections, and
moreover the indication of the load flow direction.

Ronis key interlock
B
1)
Except for fuse-switch and vacuum circuit-breaker, all load

break switches, earthing switches and disconnectors may be
equipped with Ronis key interlock type EL11AP for one key.
Earthing switches can also be equipped with EL22AP for 2
keys.
Ronis key interlocks can be used as follow: Two switchgears
A and B are connected to each other by cables. The purpose
of interlocks is to prevent closing of the earthing switch unless the load break switch in the other switchgear is locked in
open position.
B
2)
B
4)
2) First you have to operate the load break switch in switchgear A to open position.
Then it will be possible to operate the key interlock and turn
the key which extends the locking bolt. This will prevent the
access to the operating shaft of the load break switch.
Then withdraw the key and insert it into the identical key interlock on the earthing switch of switchgear B.
3) When the key is inserted, you will be able to operate the
key interlock and turn the key which will withdraw the extended locking bolt.
Then there will be access to operate the earthing switch to
closed position. As long as the earthing switch is in closed
position, the key will be captured and make it impossible to
close the load break switch in switchgear A.
3)
1) One Ronis key interlock will be mounted close to the

operating shaft of the load break switch in switchgear A. An
identical Ronis key interlock will be mounted close to the
operating shaft of the earthing switch in switchgear B. As long
as the load break switch in switchgear A is in closed position,
it will be impossible to remove or operate the key in the key
interlock.
4) If the load break switch in switchgear B and earthing switch

in switchgear A are equipped with another identical Ronis key
interlock which has a different key combination than described above, it will be impossible to make an earth connection of an incoming energized cable from neither switchgear A
nor B.
Another example for use of Ronis key interlocks is to prevent
access to the distribution transformer before the primary side
of the transformer is connected to earth. This can be solved
by means of two identical Ronis key interlocks; one mounted
on the earthing switch for the distribution transformer feeder
and the other one on the door in front of the transformer.

12-24 kV SafeRing/SafePlus Ring Main Unit portfolio from
ABB is now enhanced to meet the increasing demand for
Smart Grid applications in secondary distribution networks.
Standard grid automation devices for ABBs Ring Main Units
are located in the space behind the lower front cover, hence
eliminating the need for additional low voltage compartment
on the top of the switchgear.
Thanks to the flexibility of SafeRing/SafePlus modules, grid
automation solutions can also be delivered with different
switchgear configurations with low voltage compartment if
required.
Standard packages for Smart Grid applications can provide
monitoring, control, measurement and supervision functionalities including feeder automation devices with wired and/or
wireless communication interfaces and power supply
back-up.
The already compact SafeRing/SafePlus range can also be
delivered as an ultra-compact unit with integrated Smart Grid
solutions (reduced overall height of 1100 mm) to be fitted
inside substations with height limitations.
Customer benefits
The integrated smart grid functionalities enable the network
operators to:
Monitor the grid so that they are able to remotely locate
the fault.
Reconfigure the network so that the faulty part of the
network is disconnected.
Reconfigure the network so that the energy loss is
minimized and/or achieve savings for future investments.
Additional benefits for utilities and energy consumers are:
Improved quality of the power supply.
Less and shorter outages and improved voltage quality.
Ensured safety for personnel.
Enhanced operational efficiency and network stability.
Improved tools for the network operators and the field
crews.
Less need to travel to locations with difficult access.
68 Smart Grid applications | Product Catalogue
Ring Main Unit for Smart Grid applications is equipped with

advanced Feeder Automation device, which in cooperation
with additional devices (e.g. Fault Passage Indicators)
provides various data to the remote control centers. Key
functions of all standard packages from factory are described
in the next pages. There are seven different selections which
give the end users possibility to adjust the package to fit their
requirements.
All secondary devices within the Ring Main Unit are
powered by a 24V DC battery. The battery is charged by its
charger, which needs external power supply:
90...264V AC 50/60 Hz or 85...200V DC in case of Feeder
Automation device REC603 (internal battery charger) is
used.
94...132V AC or 184...264V AC 50/60 Hz in case of
Feeder Automation device RTU560CIG10 or REC615
(external battery charger) is used.
Please contact us in case you need other main power supply
option.
Remote and local communication

A. Remote communication (communication to the remote
control center)
Default delivery (standard package solution) comes with
IEC 60870-5-104 remote communication protocol imple-
mentation. The communication media is either wired Ethernet
and/or wireless (GSM/GPRS) communication.
Please contact us in case you need other remote communication protocol option.
B. Local communication (communication between different
automation devices within the RMU)
The signals from the Ring Main Unit switches, Fault Passage
Indicators and low voltage multi-meters are brought to the
Feeder Automation device by two different ways:
digital signals (e.g. switch positions indication and control)
are hardwired
analog signals (e.g. measurements from the Fault
Passage Indicators and low voltage multi-meters) are
obtained over local communication bus which can be
serial Modbus RTU or serial IEC 60870-5-101 communi-
cation protocol. Modbus RTU is used within Measurement
package together with RTU560CIG10 Feeder Automation
device (via its CPA port), IEC 60870-5-101 is used for

Options description
1. Automation level
The three automation levels (packages) are described below.
Remote Monitoring
This package provides remote monitoring of:
The position of load break switches in C modules
(-> grid topology supervision)
Fault passage indicator fault signalization
(-> fast fault localization, reduced outage time, efficient use
of manpower)
Faults in the transformer feeders
Remote Control
This package includes the features from the Remote
Monitoring package and in addition provides:
Remote control of load break switches in C modules
(-> fast fault isolation, fast restoration of healthy part of the
MV network , operator safety)
Remote Measurement
This package includes the features from the Remote Control
package and in addition provides:
MV network analog data values such as: currents,
voltages, frequency, power, energy, load flow direction etc.
(-> improved notification of overloaded equipment, better
maintenance planning, improved power quality).
Note: There are spare inputs (1 5 pieces) which can be used
for additional customer specified digital/binary signals such
as: SF 6 gas pressure signal, low voltage fuses tripped signal,
transformer overheating signal, etc. The number of spare inputs depends on configuration of Ring Main Unit (CCF, CCCF
etc.) and on the type of fault detection for the MV network.
2. Feeder automation device
Compact Feeder Automation devices secure remote
monitoring and control of the secondary substations in the
distribution network. It enables the network control centers to
monitor and control the field devices over the different
communication infrastructure.
REC603
The Wireless Controller REC603 is a compact, solution based
device for the remote control and monitoring of secondary
substations such as network disconnectors, load break
switches and Ring Main Units in distribution networks.
REC603 enables the network control system to monitor and
control the field devices over the public communication infrastructure (GPRS). The Wireless Controller REC603 utilizes the
built-in GPRS for reliable and secure end-to-end communication providing remote monitoring and control of up to three
objects.
RTU560CIG10
The RTU560 DIN rail provides advanced functionality and
makes it the perfect fit for existing and future Grid Automation solutions. The compact housing with the possibility to
integrate hardwired information fulfills complex requirements
and space restrictions at the same time.
REC615
REC615 is a dedicated grid automation IED designed for
remote control and monitoring, protection, fault indication,
power quality analyzing and automation in medium-voltage
secondary distribution systems, including networks with distributed power generation, with secondary equipment such as
medium-voltage disconnectors, switches and ring-main units.
3. MV network fault types
Different signals from Fault Passage Indicators can be
transmitted to the control centers. These are selected based
on type of the MV network (isolated neutral, compensated
neutral, high resistance earthing, low resistance earthing or
solidly earthing).
Available options are:
OC and EF directional
With this selection, two different types of events can be
transferred to the remote control centers:
Fault in forward direction (does not differentiate over-
current and earth fault)
Fault in backward direction (does not differentiate over-
current and earth fault)
OC and EF non directional
With this selection, two different types of events can be
transferred to the remote control centers:
Over-current fault (does not differentiate fault direction)
Earth fault (does not differentiate fault direction)
Fault
With this selection, one type of event can be transferred to
the remote control centers:
Fault (does not differentiate over-current and earth fault nor
fault direction)
4. Fault Passage Indicators

Fault Passage Indicators are devices which detect faults in
the MV network. Some of them are also able to provide MV
analog value measurements to the Feeder Automation device
which transfers these signals to the control centers.
5. Fault passage indicators remote reset
Selection No
The Fault Passage Indicators signalization will be reset
according to its setting (e.g. manually, automatically after
fixed set time).
Selection Yes
This option gives possibility to reset Fault Passage Indicators
remotely from the control centers.
Note: There is one common reset command for all Fault
Passage Indicators by use of REC603 Feeder Automation
device all Fault Passage Indicators within the Ring Main Unit
will be reset at the same time.
6. Distribution transformer feeders common remote
emergency trip
Selection No
No possibility to remotely trip distribution transformers
modules.
Selection Yes
This option gives possibility to remotely trip distribution
transformers modules (usually F and/or V modules) from the
control centers.
Note: There is one common trip command for all distribution
transformer modules all modules will be tripped at the same
time.
7. Supervision of the LV side of the distribution transformer
This option gives possibility to remotely supervise secondary
(Low Voltage) side of the distribution transformer. Different
multi-function monitoring devices with extensive measuring
and calculation functions will be available in this selection.
The unit measures currents, voltages and frequencies, and
calculates power and energy values. Interconnection cable
between Feeder Automation device and low voltage multimeters is not part of delivery.
None
No possibility to remotely supervise LV network analog data.
Vamp: WIMO 6CP10

WIMO 6CP10 secondary substation measuring and monitoring unit is a compact multi-function monitoring device with
extensive measuring and calculation functions. WIMO 6CP10
is ideal for secondary substation measuring and monitoring management. The unit measures currents, voltages and
frequencies, and calculates power and energy values.
Circutor: CVM-MINI-ITF-RS485-C2
The CVM-MINI panel analyzer is a programmable measuring instrument; it offers a series of options, which may be
selected from configuration menus on the instrument itself.
The CVM-MINI measures, calculates and displays the main
electrical parameters for three-phase, balanced or unbalanced industrial systems.
Measurements are taken as true effective values using the
three alternating and neutral voltage inputs and three current
inputs to measure In /1A or In /5A secondary from external
measurement transformers. The CVM-MINI allows the display
of all electrical parameters, using the backlit LCD display,
showing three instant electrical parameters, maximum or
minimum on each page jump.
Note: The availability depends on the selected Feeder
Automation device and Ring Main Unit module configuration.
These devices are by default mounted in top entry box or low
voltage compartment.
