Safety of people
By internal arc protection
Standard IEC 62271-200 appendix
A indicates a method for testing
switchgear in metal enclosures
under internal arc conditions. The
aim of this test is to show that
an operator situated in front of a
switchboard would be protected
against the effects of an internal
fault.

Internal arc withstand

To enhance the safety of people, it is desirable to provide as high a degree of protection as
(in conformity with IEC 62271-200)
possible by evacuating the effects of internal arc using:
•• 3 versions are available for SM6-24:
- Evacuation systems which direct gases towards the top or the bottom of the switchboard
Basic:
enabling over pressure to be limited in the case of an internal fault in the compartments
-- 12.5 kA 1 s, IAC: A-FL
- Channelling and evacuating hot gases towards an external area, which is not hazardous
Advance:
for the operator
-- 12.5 kA 1 s, IAC: A-FLR
- Materials which are non-inflammable in the cubicles
-- 16 kA 1 s, IAC: A-FL & IAC: A-FLR
- Reinforced panels.
-- 20 kA 1 s, IAC: A-FL & IAC: A-FR

Continuous Thermal Monitoring
The power connections in the Medium Voltage products are one of the most
critical points of the substations especially for those made on site like:
• MV Cable connections
Loose and faulty connections cause an increase of resistance in localized points
that will lead to thermal runaway until the complete failure of the connections.
Preventive maintenance can be complicated in severe operating conditions also
due to limited accessibility and visibility of the contacts.
The continuous thermal monitoring is the most appropriate way to early detect a
compromised connection.

Easergy TH110 Thermal Sensor

Easergy TH110 is part of the new generation of wireless smart sensors
ensuring the continuous thermal monitoring of all the critical connections made on
field allowing to:
• Prevent unscheduled downtimes
• Increase operators and equipments safety
• Optimize and predictive maintenance
Thanks to its very compact footprint and its wireless communication, Easergy
TH110 allows an easy and widespread installation in every possible critical points
without impacting the performance of the MV Switchgears.
By using Zigbee Green Power communication protocol, Easergy Th110 ensure
a reliable and robust communication that can be used to create interoperable
solutions evolving in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) age.
Easergy TH110 is self powered by the network current and it can ensure high Zigbee Dongle
performances providing accurate thermal monitoring being in direct contact
with the measured point.
