Features
DVCAS switchgears functional groups have been designed as compact units, and built as the union of modular switchgears.
Each of the modular functions is composed of:
- Metal base frame
- Operating mechanism and relay compartment
- MV cable compartment
- Stainless steel, gas-tight cubicle which uses SF6 gas as insulating medium and houses the busbar system and the breaking devices.
General electrical/Constructive data:
- Frequency Hz 50
- Rated voltage kV 36
- Insulation level
>Power frequency withstand voltage kV 70
>Lightning impulse withstand voltage kV peak 170 - Rated current of the main busbar A 630
- Short time withstand current kA/s 20/3
- Short circuit breaking current capacity kA 20
- Short circuit making capacity kA peak 50
- Internal arc withstand IAC AFL kA/1s 20
- Degree of protection
>HV compartment IP 67
>LV and operating mechanism compartment IP 3X - SF6 gas pressure at 20ÂșC bar 0.3
