Operating Conditions

Normal operating conditions Note on any special climatic


operating conditions
The switchgear is fundamentally designed
for the normal service conditions for When the switchgear is operated in areas
indoor switchgear to IEC Publication with high humidity and/or major rapid
62271-1. The following limit values, among temperature fluctuations, there is a risk
others, apply. of condensation. Preventive action (e.g.
Ambient temperature fitting the electric heater) must be taken
- Maximum +40C in consultation with the manufacturer to
Special operating conditions
- 24h-Medium +35C avoid the condensation and any resulting
- Minimum -15C SecoGear is suitable for operation in the corrosion or other adverse effects. The
Humidity climate of indoor type according to IEC control of the heaters depends on the
- Highest average value measured over standard. Special operating conditions relevant project.
24 hours must be discussed with GE in advance.

- Relative humidity 95% For example: At site altitudes above 1000

- Highest average value measured over m, the effects of the reduction in density of

Product Introduction
1 month the air on the dielectric properties must be

- Relative humidity 90% taken into account.


The maximum site altitude is 1000 m Increased ambient temperatures must

above sea level be compensated for in the design of the


Seismic Rating up to Uniform Building busbar and the branch conductors as well

Code (UBC) 1997 Zone 4 as the withdrawable parts; otherwise the


Seismic Rating up to IBC 2012 for 27kV current carrying capacity will be reduced.

SecoGear Fitting additional ventilation facilities can


assist heat dissipation in the switchgear
panel.

High altitude application

The insulating capacity of the switchgear


with rated values of short-time power-
frequency withstand voltage and impulse
withstand voltage according to IEC 62271-1.

Storage Conditions

In order to retain all of the functional units


qualities when stored for prolonged periods,
we recommend that the equipment is stored
in its original packaging, in dry conditions
sheltered from the sun and rain at a
temperature of between 15C and + 40C.
For storage: -30C.

When all the three current transformers
are not required, dummies can be installed
in their place to maintain the same

The fixed voltage transformers (optional)
are connected on the primary side
with busbar and fitted with HRC fuses.
The earthing switch can be operated

Installation Guide
In order to obtain an optimum installation sequence and ensure
high quality standards, site installation of the switchgear should
only be carried out by specially trained personnel, or supervised
and monitored by qualified personnel, or by personnel supervised
and monitored by responsible persons.
On commencement of installation on site, the switch-room
must be fundamentally finished, provided with lighting and the
electricity supply, lockable, dry and with facilities for ventilation,
It is also required that the basic frame and indoor ground
of substation should be checked and accepted before the
construction, It must be ensure that the ceiling height is sufficient
for the opening travel of the pressure relief plates and clearance
for exhaust.
Tolerances for laying the floor frame are:
Evenness tolerance: 1mm within a measuring length of 1m,
Straightness tolerance: 1mm per 1m, but not more than 3mm
over entire length of frame.
