1.
SCOPE
Background
During 2001 the DT IARC Cable Workgroup introduced the on load SF6 ring main unit
switch. Since August 2004 Eastern Region has rationalized on the use of a breaker-type
as opposed to the fuse-type RMU.
Due to extensive refurbishment work, there has been a significant increase in the demand
for RMUs.
A commissioning guide was necessary to cope with this increase in the
number of units being commissioned.
Rationalisation on Ring main units
All stand-alone ring main units including those purchased within mini-substations for
use in the Eastern Region will be of the Circuit Breaker type. This can be identified
on the buyers guide description by looking for B in the description eg see below
D DT 8060
0180270
RMU 11kV 630A-200A 2R-1B N/EXT COASTAL
The 1B in the RMU 11kV 630A-200A 2R-1B N/EXT COASTAL description indicates
that the unit is a circuit breaker type.
1.2
Task Group Brief
The breaker type RMUs has relay intelligence; it functions using a relay to trip for Over
Currents and Earth faults. For the effective use of these relays the settings must be
optimally calculated and settings applied.

Historically, medium voltage cable switches did not require protection settings during
commissioning as these facilities were not available. As a result of the large influx of this
type of unit, a task team consisting of the following individuals.
T&Q
- Ravi Reddy
Field Services
- Veer Ramnarain
EDNS
- Angus Kerr
EDFS
- Pieter Bezuidenhout
Schneider Electric
- Alan Finelay and Alan Clerk
EDM-OPS
- Rob Ferguson (Interviewed at Network Ops)
was tasked to address commissioning requirements. The outcome was that the units will
be commissioned on site and EDFS, supported by EDNS and TSG, with this Instruction
will commission the units on site in accordance with this Instruction.
1.3
Purpose
This Instruction has been developed to guide on the following:
The special commissioning requirements of RMUs and, in particular, the protection

settings to be applied to the VIP 35 and VIP 300 relays on the M&G RMU.
The minimum Panel tests to be done as pre-commissioning requirements.
The mandatory record keeping of settings as required by Control for each unit
commissioned.
The Instruction also sets out other minimum checks to be adhered to prior to the RMUs
being commissioned.
1.4
Applicability
With effect from 1 November 2004, this Instruction will be applicable to all RMUs installed
for operation by ESKOM DISTRIBUTION staff. For further information on the setting of

The protection settings applied to the VIP 35 and VIP 300 will be as shown in Table 2 and
3 above. The settings will only be applicable where:
The breaker is supplying a single dead-end transformer.
For breakdown purposes where EDFS is unavailable, Table 2 will be applied by

Field Services.
The settings must be re-checked by EDFS that will re-visit the plant and apply
appropriate settings within 5 days.
2.6
Network cases that will not be set by consulting Table 2 and 3 above
The switch is on the backbone and must be used to discriminate with both
upstream and downstream devices
One of the rings must discriminate with the transformer being supplied
The breaker is supplying a load that is paralleled with the transformer and the
parallel load must be reliable and needs discrimination
2.7
The RMU has two breakers that must co-ordinate with each other eg 2R2B units.
Panel Checks to be conducted for the RMU
All ring main units are to be
Visually inspected at the location they are to be installed prior to

commissioning.
All checks referred to in this section (2.3.1 2.3.10) must be done
The checks performed must be recorded on Annex A and B.

3. PRIMARY INJECTION TEST

3.1
The Primary Injection test set up and Procedure
Current injection will be through the main cable bushings of the breaker. The CTs are
positioned within the bushings.
Recommended additional Tools
3.2
Socket set with a long extension bar and ratchet
Small flat machine screw driver
Hand held clamp-on CT for current measurements up to 200 A

Current injection set of 200 A capacity with leads > 1m.
1 X Copper bar with three slots and a flag
2 X Copper bar with single slot and flag

Earth-Fault primary injection and pickup tests
To do the earth-fault tests remove the cable box covers of both the isolator and the
breaker. To do this, ensure that the unit is off and earthed. Once earthed the covers are
removable. To operate the breaker or the isolator i.e. to close it, to do the functional tests,
we need to defeat the earth-interlock mechanism that locks the cable box cover when unit
is on or closed i.e. not in earth. In the cable box compartment, on the underside of the roof,
there is a rod as seen in picture 9 below.

You are now able to insert the switch handle into the key and close the Isolator and
breaker. You must now short out the R, W, and B phase bushings of the isolator using a
copper busbar as shown in picture 12. Connect one of the injection leads to this star point
as shown in picture 12A.

Connect the other side of the injection set to the R phase of the breaker as shown in 13
above.
Note: from the connection configuration above, we are effectively injecting via the RMUs
red phase bushing through the breaker through the interconnecting busbars and out the
isolator. The isolator being short circuited
To do the earth fault test for normal current injection you need to set the VIP 35 Io to
minimum value, see picture 14.

low ranges from 25 to 300 A, so set Io = 25 and set the time delay such that while doing
the test you are able to see the current on your clamp-on meter. Suggested 250 ms.
Current inject by gradually turning the test set handle thereby increasing the current until
you have a trip function. The current should be within as it is definite time twice the full load
(full load = 25 A ie 2X 25 = 50 A) and in ten seconds (25 s /2 = 12.5 s).

3.3
Over-current Primary Injection and Pickup tests
For the over-current test, leave the isolator R, W and B phases in star ie the three phases
short circuited. Remove the current injection lead from the star point on the isolator switch
and fasten it on the W phase of the Breaker bushing as shown in picture 15. Note the R
phase will still be connected, leave this as is.
Picture 15 :
Connect phases alternately R-W,

R-B, B-W and inject each time
Tests will be between R and W, W and B and B and R. This is done by selecting your
setting value from table 1 as described above which is dependant on the transformer size.
Set is by turning the dial on the VIP 35 to correspond to the value you selected from table
1 above. Set this value as close as possible on the relay e.g. 53 A can be set at 55 A.
Current inject by gradually turning the test set handle thereby increasing the current until
you have a trip function. The current should be close to the set value. Monitor the current
and compare with the curves to ensure that the trip and relay are as per specification.

Closing the break in the LIVE STATE i.e. defeating the mechanical interlocks
to remove covers in Non-earth Position
Warning: The cover of the box should not be possible to remove of in the earth
position!! This must be verified after injection tests are completed as defeating the
interlock may upset the mechanism.
Note: When the unit is in the earth position, the closing operation of both the Isolator and
the Circuit breaker is mechanically-interlocked, see picture 11 and 12. Also if the covers
are on the unit, and the earth position is engaged, the cable box cover is locked in place
with an inter-lock. The bars as seen in pictures 16 and 17 will mechanically not allow
removal of the cable box covers. These bars will automatically re-tracts once the unit is in
the earth position.

Further, the unit is unable to detect that no cover is on and the bar will push out once
earthed See Picture 17. If removed from earth with the cover off, a second interlock will
ensure that the units cover must be in place prior to switching, and this interlock is
activated by physically receiving a key that is built on the cover that depresses a push-rod
and it and causes the flap that covers the closing key hole to open and the key to be
slotted for closing operation to be executed. See picture
