Operation counters of non-resetable type shall be fitted to all circuit-breaker mechanisms. The mechanism and its control scheme shall be such that, in the event of an electrical tripping pulse being applied to the circuit-breaker during the closing stroke, or of the mechanism failing to latch in the closed position, the circuit-breaker shall open fully and in such a manner as to be capable of interrupting its rated breaking current. Mechanical indicator shall be provided for CB ON and CB OFF position. The mechanism and its control scheme shall be such that the mechanism shall not make repeated attempts to close the circuit- breaker when the control switch is held in the CLOSE position in the event of failure to latch on the first closing attempt or in the event of a trip signal being given to the circuit-breaker. The electrical closing and tripping devices, including direct acting solenoid coils and solenoid operated valves, shall be capable of operation over the ambient temperature range when the voltage at their terminals is any value within the voltage range stipulated in IEC 62271-100 and in addition over the range of all operating conditions of the batteries and chargers.

Disconnecting and earthing switches shall be arranged to permit safe maintenance of any section of the equipment when the remainder is alive. Disconnecting switches shall be arranged for operation while the equipment is alive, but will not be required to break current other than the charging currents of open busbars and connections (circuit breaker bushings) or load currents shared by parallel disconnectors under the conditions of this Specification. Disconnectors of earth switches shall comply with the requirement of IEC 62271-102. Disconnectors shall preferably be housed in compartments partitioned from circuit breakers. Line disconnectors gas zones must be separated from the cable sealing ends or outdoor bushing gas zone. Switch mechanisms shall be so designed that the disconnector cannot be opened by forces due to currents passing through it and shall be self-locking in both the "open" and "closed" positions. The mechanism shall open and close all three phases simultaneously. Power operated drives shall be provided which shall be suitable for local, remote and supervisory control (supervisory control of earth switches is not required) and should be fitted with a removable emergency manual operation facility.

Local mechanical position indicators shall be provided on disconnecting and earthing switches and shall be visible from ground level. For safe earthing of the busbars and feeders, high-speed fault making spring driven earth switches shall be provided. The contacts of these earth switches shall have the same fault making capability as that of the circuit breaker. With earthing switches of the high speed fault making type it shall be impossible to complete a slow close operation. Each section of busbar, which can be electrically isolated from other sections of busbar by means of disconnectors or circuit breakers shall incorporate high speed earthing switches as specified above. The mechanisms of the high speed earthing switches shall be spring operated. It shall be possible to charge the spring by d.c. motor and manually. During the manual charging of the spring, motor operation shall be prevented.

Slow speed maintenance earthing switches shall be operated locally only with the mechanism driven with a d.c. motor and manually. During the manual operation the supply circuit of the d.c. motor shall be automatically disconnected. Interlocks shall be provided to prevent unintentional use of this earthing equipment.

To prevent simultaneous operation of two or more devices of the same bay.

The interlocking scheme shall be electrical for all operational interlocks and preferably of the mechanical/key type for maintenance safety interlocks but shall be effective when the equipment is being controlled from driving mechanisms local control cabinet, remote control panels or system control centre. All mechanical interlocks shall be applied at the point at which hand power is used so that stress cannot be applied to parts remote from that point. All electrical interlocks shall so function as to interrupt the operating supply and a system of interlocks shall be provided which shall cover the emergency hand operation of apparatus which is normally power operated. Failure of supply or connections to any electrical interlock shall not produce or permit faulty operation. Electrical bolt interlocks shall be energised only when the operating handle of the mechanism is brought to the working position. Visible indication shall be provided to show whether the mechanism is locked or free. Means, normally padlocked, shall be provided whereby the bolt can be operated in the emergency of a failure of interlock supplies. Where key interlocking is employed tripping of the circuit breaker shall not occur if any attempt is made to remove the trapped key from the mechanism. Any local emergency tripping device shall be kept separate and distinct from the key interlocking. All disconnecting devices shall be interlocked with associated circuit-breakers and disconnectors in the same station so that it shall not be possible to make or break current on a disconnecting device unless a parallel circuit in that station is already closed. In double busbar stations the provision for on-load changeover of busbars is required. The busbar disconnecting devices shall be so interlocked with the appropriate busbar coupling and sectioning equipments that sections or sets of busbars cannot be paralleled by means of the busbar disconnecting devices unless a parallel circuit is already closed through the

01-FEWA-PL-SS-E-0050,REV-0, 132KV GIS circuit-breakers of the appropriate busbar coupling and sectioning equipment. In all other circumstances, the busbar disconnecting devices of equipment other than busbar sectioning and coupling equipment shall be so interlocked that their respective circuit breakers can only be coupled to one set of busbars at a time. It shall not be possible to parallel sections of busbars except through the circuit breakers of the busbar coupling and sectioning equipment.

The contacts of all auxiliary switches shall be strong and shall have a positive wiping action when closing. Direct acting auxiliary switch contacts shall be used in conjunction with busbar protection schemes. If sufficient aux. contacts are not available, the contacts shall be multiplied by using suitable latching relays (bistable relays) so that the failure of DC supply shall not cause a maloperation or undefined position of circuit breakers, disconnectors or earth switches. If any discrepancy between the aux. contacts and latching relay contacts, this shall be monitored and alarmed locally and for remote indication. All repeat relays are subject to approval of FEWA. 11.0 CURRENT TRANSFORMERS

Current transformers shall be of the toroidal core type preferably encapsulated in epoxy resin. The current transformers shall contain no hygroscopic materials, which could affect the moisture contents of the SF6 gas in the CT chamber.
