IP54 outdoor installation (kiosk not necessary)
Ambient temperature for operation:
-25C to 40C (50C optional)
Average value over 24 hours max: 40C
Maximum altitude for operation without derating:1000m
Insulation medium: SF6 Gas
Interruption medium: Vacuum
Cable earth and test facility (E&T) Ring switches: E&T is a standard feature
located at the bottom of the unit.
E&T feature is used for testing cable insulation and to
locate faults in the circuit without the need to remove
the main cables from the cable box.
The cable test access cover is fully interlocked and cannot
be opened until the ring switch or circuit breaker switch
is in the Earth ON position. The test bushings are earthed
with a star bar which has to be removed for cable tests.

Safety features Vacuum circuit breakers: E&T is an optional feature

only on 630A VCB and is located at the top of the unit

Operation mechanism
The operating mechanism of the ring switches and
circuit breaker incorporates mechanical interlocks
and padlocking facilities which make it impossible to
simultaneously close the ring switch/circuit breaker and
the earth switch.

Anti-reflex mechanism
Anti-reflex mechanisms on ring switches ensure a time
delay between switching operations.

Internal arc withstand

Sabre gas tanks are fully internal arc rated and this
feature is also available on the cable boxes (optional) to
ensure maximum operator safety in the event of internal
faults. The gas tanks are available in AF (front), AFL (front
and lateral) and AFLR (front, lateral and rear) ratings.
For more details on internal arc classification (IAC)
ratings, please refer to the technical data sheet.
Cable boxes
The cable boxes are located laterally or at the rear of
the ring main unit. Factory mounted protection CTs
are provided on the circuit breaker cable bushings for
ease of installation and to avoid any potential damage
to the CT during transit and connection. For additional
operator safety, the cable boxes are earthed and can be
interlocked to allow access to the operator only if the
function is in the Earth ON position. There is an option
to supply these cable boxes with internal arc rating as
per IEC standards (for further information, please refer
to the cable box, gland and accessories section).

 Cable terminations

x. Shunt trip coils The bushings are accessible by removing the cable box covers at the lateral and rear of the unit.

Shunt trips are magnetic coils that are used to trip circuit breakers The maximum cable sizes that can be used are:
through local push buttons, RTUs or additional transformer 300mm 3 - core
protection devices. 500mm single - core.
The following types of terminations can be used with the Sabre range:
Shunt trips are available in the following voltages:

DC voltage: 12V, 24V, 48V and 110V

AC voltages: 110V, 240V Shunt trip
Multiple voltage range: 24VAC/DC 240VAC/DC.

xi. Earth Fault Indicators (EFI)

Earth fault indicators (EFI) are used for rapid location and isolation
of faults on medium voltage networks in open loop ring main
networks. When the unit detects asymmetrical currents in the 3
phase cable, an earth fault is indicated by means of a flashing LED
or mechanical flag.

Air metering unit (AMU) Remote terminal unit (RTU)

i. Characteristics The Gemini RTU is an advanced, highly flexible and ultra-

efficient solution for remote operation and control of
Up to 17.5kV and 630Amps ratings electrical distribution networks. Enclosed in a stainless
Freestanding and RMU mounted version steel casing for maximum protection, the Gemini RTU is
Voltage transformer (VT) isolation for HV testing designed to operate in the most demanding environments.
Bus bar metering and tee-off metering options
Trip lock out relay for RMU/AMU combinations for The key features of the Gemini range are:
emergency tripping
Wide range of CT and VT options to suit various Embedded auto change over and auto sectionalizing
application needs Tee-off metering
RMU mounted functions
IP54 for outdoor installation without needing any kiosk Control and monitoring of up to 4 motorized functions
(switches or circuit breakers)
ii. Mounting style Inbuilt earth and fault passage indicators
a. Tee-off metering Advanced monitoring of current, voltage, battery
b. BC: Bus bar connected condition, switching parameters such as open/close
c. FS: Free standing metering status, actuator disabled and gas pressure
Flexible communication through radio, RS232, packet
Free standing data network, GSM, GPRS, PSTN, bluetooth, ethernet
metering unit TCP/IP, optical fibre and SMS messaging
Advanced battery pack to operate under mains AC
input failure
Fully tested to ENATS (Energy Network Association
Technical Standards), EMC and environmental standards

In addition to the above features, remotely monitored

and controlled switchgear provides significant benefits to
customers such as:
RTU enclosure
Reduced time in diagnosing system anomalies as well as
locating and isolating faulty sections of the network
Faster response time and quick network reconfiguration
Optimisation of asset management through the
implementation of customized automation schemes
Reduced operational cost associated with routine
network switching
Increased operator safety

Tee-off metering

Bus bars connected metering Free standing metering
