circuit breaker and LV fuses
-- Circuit Breaker rated current is higher than fuses allowing the protection of
higher transformer ratings
-- The isolating system is insensitive to the environment
• Simplified switching operations and remote control
Protection index (IP) -- Reduction of losses thanks to the low value of lower value of power dissipation
(the fuse-switches of a 1000 kVA transformer feeder can dissipate 100 W)

Overview Efficiency
Extension on site
PE58534
FBX can easily be extended on site.

• The extension on the left or right hand side of your FBX with one or more
functional units can be carried out by simply adding modules that are connected
to each other at busbar level by directed field bushings. This very simple
operation can be carried out on site:
• Without handling any gas
• Without any special tooling
• Without any particular preparation of the floor
The only technical limitation to the evolution of an extensible FBX switchboard is
therefore the rated current acceptable by the busbar: 630 A at 40°C.
1250 A top busbar facility

PE58619
The top-mounted busbar is used to increase the electrical distribution capacity of

the equipment up to 1250 A.
• Available for the following FBX-E functions: C, T1, T2 & CB
• Increases the standard height of the equipment by 217 mm
• Two types of LV cabinets are available to fit with 1250 A top busbars: heights of
200 or 600 mm

Interlocks
Interlocking of the functional units

During the development of FBX switchboard, the focus was placed on personnel
safety and the reliability of the operation.
An interlocking system prevents any incorrect use.
Thus, the operating levers can only be inserted if the service status permits it.
Access to the cables compartment and to the fuses is only possible if the
appropriate outgoing feeder is connected to earth.
The switchboards are equipped in production series with the following interlocks:

Extensibility
Extensibility of FBX-E
PE58534
• FBX-E offers extensible configurations for secondary distribution applications.

• The connection of each functional unit allows for multiple combinations
depending on the installation requirements.
• FBX-E permits the connection of additional units on the left or right-hand side,
thereby offering greater flexibility in the choice and positioning of the medium
voltage switchboard functions.
A-Link device for the in-line connection of the FBX-E
• The installation and in-line connection of FBX-E does not require any handling
of gas.
• Maximum current: 630 A
Erection and assembly

The extension is a very simple process thanks to:
• The A-link device used to connect the busbars of two cubicles.
Variations in positioning are compensated by fixed, spherical contacts and
mobile couplings that can be adjusted axially and radially.
• Highly secure dielectric seals made with silicone insulating conical connectors
adapted to the electrical voltage.
The assembly of the insulating connectors is maintained by a mechanical force

generated by:
• Integrated guiding pins for the correct alignment of the cubicles
• An assembly by bolts secured by mechanical stops.
During the assembly of an extension cubicle, an additional space of at least

450 mm is necessary to allow for handling.

Fuse compartment
Fuse compartment
PE58615
The fuses are located within plugged and insulated fuse-holders. These fuse
holders are integrated into the gas tank and offer the following advantages:
• The electrical field is placed in the SF6 gas,
• The fuse-holder plugs are placed outside the electrical field which is contained
in the tank filled with SF6 gas,
• The fuse-holder is located in the tank and cannot be affected by outside
elements,
• The dielectric strength of the plug is thus not ensured by the compression of a
seal but by an insulating distance.
Available option: watertight plugs.
Fuse tripping
FBX with fuse protection The stored energy mechanism and the tripping striker open all three phases thanks
to the switch-disconnector. If the striker on a single HV fuse is actuated, all three
phases are disconnected.
Fuse replacement
The interlocking guarantees maximum safety for the personnel during the replacement of fuses. The fuse compartment panel can only
be opened if it has been earthed correctly. Inversely, the earthing can only be removed once the fuse compartment panel is closed and
locked.
Two earthing switches with making capacity (both upstream and downstream from the fuses) allow the fuses to be replaced
without using auxiliary equipment. The two earthing switches with making capacity are operated by a common spring loaded
mechanism.

Overview Operating conditions and
standards
PM107131
FBX performances meet the definition of a “sealed pressure system” as laid down
in the IEC recommendations.
FBX tank is filled with SF6 rated pressure at 20°C: 0.03 MPa, and sealed for life
after filling. Its tightness, which is systematically checked at the factory, gives the
switchgear a high life expectancy.
FBX is designed to be installed under normal service conditions defined in:

• IEC 62271-1 (common specification for high voltage switchgear and controlgear)
• IEC 62271-200 AC metal enclosed switchgear and controlgear for rated voltages

Mechanism operating principles

SFU (tumbler)
It is a tumbler mechanism with a dead point passage.
The energy is stored by tumbler mechanism.
• Manual: the opening or closing operation is manual and independent of the
operator. The operation is performed without any duration or time constraint
• Motorized: the opening or closing operations are performed by a motor without
duration or time constraint.
SF (tumbler with 1 latch for opening)

It is a tumbler mechanism for closing, with a latch-in feature for opening.
The energy needed for opening is stored while closing.
• Manual: the operator manually closes the switch-disconnector in one single

operation, and in the same time loads a spring for next opening. The mechanism
is thus ready for a snap opening operation. Tripping can be performed with a
coil, a fuse striker or a push-button.
• Motorized: the closing operation is performed by a motor. The opening

operating can be done with the motor or with a shutter release.
SU (tumbler)
It is a tumbler mechanism for closing operation.
The opening is manual and dependent of the operator, a spring is loaded and
stores energy for next closing.
The closing is independent of the operator, the energy is released from the spring
and closes the earthing switch in a snap operation.
C 150 mechanism
These operating mechanisms use the energy stored by springs to close and open
the circuit-breaker on the CB and CBb functions. There are two types:
• Manual: the operator manually operates to load the control mechanism’s spring.
The spring is held in place by a latch, freed manually by a mechanical button,
causing:
- the release of the spring
- the closing of the CB
- the arming of the trip spring, now held in place by a latch.
It is thus possible to open the circuit-breaker by freeing the trip spring latch
manually (mechanical button) or electrically (electro-magnet).
Note: with the circuit-breaker closed, it is possible to rearm the closing spring,
which authorises a rapid re-closure cycle.
• Motorized: the closing spring is armed by a motor (arming time < 7 s).
Opening and closure operations are carried out electrically (magnets).
Note: It is possible to manually arm, close and trip the circuit-breakers.

Protection relays
DPX-1 autonomous protection relay
The DPX-1 system, consisting of a compact protection relay and a toroidal type
current transformer, has been specially developed for compact medium voltage
PE58627
switchboards with circuit-breakers.

The following protection functions have been integrated into the DPX-1:
• Constant three phase over-current protection with variable tripping times
(ANSI 50/51).
• Three phase over-current protection with selection capability characteristics
of inverse time and constant time short circuit current element (ANSI 50/51).
• Protection of inverse and constant time earthing over-current by internal
calculation (ANSI 50N/51N).
In the DPX-1, the phase current and earth current are calculated using an
arithmetic mean value.

Other functions
ATS in ON/OFF mode
The ATS system can be switched on or off from the local control panel (T300)
or remotely (Scada system).
When the ATS is OFF, the FBX switches can be electrically actuated by local
or remote control (operation in parallel mode is therefore possible).
ATS in parallel mode upon Auto return

Activating this option enables paralleling of the channels by the automatic transfer
system, during the phase of automatic return to the priority channel.
To be used when the ATS is in “Auto” mode.
Application: synchronization of the voltages of the main power supply line and
the backup line allows return to the main line without any interruption.
Generator ON override command

Activation of the ATS and transfer on Generator can be activated upon an order:
remotely or through dedicated digital input.
Applications:
• Periodic maintenance tests of the ATS/Generator system
• Switch on Generator when the Network is overloaded.
During peak hours, and if network is overloaded, Utility can send a remote order
that will activate Generator. Having this facility, it will allow a private customer to
negotiate better tariff of electricity.
