1. GENERAL


1.1. SCOPE

This specification sets out the minimum requirements and the inspection plans for the
supply of low voltage electric switchboards (up to 1000 V a.c., 1500 V d.c.) including bus
bar ducts whenever applicable.
Any other additional information not covered by this specification will be specified in the
rules and publications in force and in the project technical documentation, particularly:

Data Sheets
Inspection Data Sheets (I.D.S.)
Required Documentation Data Sheet (R.D.D.S.)

The technical requirements of this functional specification are based upon considerations
of performances and functionality, therefore the instructions contained in this document
are not meant to be discriminatory.
Any alternative suggestions will be considered, provided that the compliance with what
required in this document is satisfied both from functional and performance points of
view.

1.2. NORMATIVE REFERENCES

The main Normative References that entirely define the low voltage switchboards system
as a whole are herewith listed.
References are made to the Directives (when applicable) and European Normative
references (EN = CEI EN), in the absence of the above, National CEI/CEI UNEL
normative references and/or IEC publications relating to the place of installation and/or as
stated by the contract.
In any case, all the rules, fixed by the legislative provision acts and regulations in force, if
those exist, and under the jurisdiction of which the plants are installed, should be
respected.

1.2.1 Applicable European Directives


ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC)

Electric systems and equipment shall be in conformity with Directive 89/336/CEE, revised
and supplemented with directives 92/31/CEE, 93/68/CEE and 93/97/CEE, implemented
with D.Lgs. 615/96.
The preceding D.Lgs. 476/92 was repealed with exception for art. 14, comma 2.

LOW VOLTAGE DIRECTIVE (LVD)

Directive 73/23 CEE for electric material intended to be utilised within such voltage limits
as (501000 Vac and 751500 Vdc), implemented with legislative act L.791/77.
Its subsequent revision with directive 93/68 CEE, was implemented with D.Lgs 626/96.

Sheet, considering the possible future loads;
bars for the supply of more circuits are referred to rated currents of loads plus 25% of

Compartments or cells will be provided when specifically required, or when the
switchboard is completed.
These arrangement as functional units will be described in more detail by the Company in
the Data Sheet.

2.4.2. Construction Characteristics

2.4.2.1. General prescriptions on materials

Materials will be suitable for the installation site, service and transport conditions.
The use of series and standard materials available on the market will be recommended.

2.4.2.2. Structure and enclosure

Switchboards will be built according to a mechanic design, with enclosure and protection
level in accordance with the provisions of Rule CEI EN 60439-1.

If not otherwise indicated in the Data Sheet, the following protection degrees will be
guaranteed:

IP 3X: vertical sides; air or drain openings (protected internally by nets or metal
sheets with holes to prevent the entry of insects)
IP 4X: upper side and non vertical surfaces
IP 2X: internal diaphragms

The structure will be self supporting with reinforcements where needed and that can be
easily fitted as indicated in the Data Sheet; the enclosure will be made with steel sheets
adequately treated and protected.
Cables can be inserted in the switchboard from below or above as indicated in the Data
Sheet. This can be achieved through withdrawable plates, or when required, with cable
glands or other sealing systems.
Plates for single core cables (i.e. for power supply) will be of non-magnetic material.

In particular cases of higher than usual short circuit currents ( = 50 kA) there might be
required implementation of internal arch sealing for switchboards of Power Center and
Motor Control Center.

2.4.2.3. Segregations

Switchboards will be built with internal subdivisions through barriers or diaphragms in
accordance with Rule CEI EN 60439-1, and identified in the typical form of segregation
specified in the Data sheet.

oxidation.
In the connections between bars and clips of Withdrawable parts, clips and shanks of
fixed parts will be protected against oxidation by silver plating.

Connections between bars and the equipment pertaining to a single circuit will be sized
for the highest current adjustable on the equipment itself. Bolts and clamps will be
provided with anti-loosening systems.

Supports of bars can be obtained by insulators or printed or banded insulating supports;
they will be of non hygroscopic and non flammable material and designed so that they
can avoid superficial charges in case of dust or condense.

Bars and insulated power conductors will be labelled as indicated by the reference codes.

a) Neutral bar (N)

In three-phase systems with neutral, the neutral bar shall extend for the whole length
of the phase bars and will be:

2.7.3. Protection against indirect contacts

In accordance with the prescriptions of Rule CEI EN 60439-1 and CEI 64/8-4, protection
against indirect contacts can be achieved:

with protection circuit;
with measurements not using protection circuits.

Except for exceptional cases indicated in the Data Sheet, protection adopted will be
achieved by using a protection circuit to be connected to the earthing system, with regard
to the neutral system specified in the data sheet and in accordance with CEI 17-43.

For this reason a "protection bar" (PE) will be installed in all switchboards. In case of
switchboards with complete insulation, the "protection bar" (PE) will connect the
protection conductors and the cables armouring from outside the switchboard, and will
remain insulated from live parts and masses.

Withdrawable equipment will be connected to the protection circuit with peg, wiping or
spring contact, both in service position and in test position.


2.7.4. Fire resistance

The materials characteristics will be so that when subjected to fire or heating, they will not

Especially for plastic materials, the self-extinguishing requirements will be guaranteed in
accordance with one of the following test methods:

ANSI UL 94, Class V
CEI EN 60707, Class FV
CEI EN 60695

The Manufacturer of switchboards will therefore provide test certificates of reaction to fire
by an officially recognised laboratory.
