Technical requirement
The ring main unit equipped with FZN □-12/630 vacuum load switch should be able to meet all the corresponding technical requirements of FZN-12/630 vacuum load switch.
This ring main unit is insulated with air and mainly equipped with FZN □-12/630 vacuum load switch. The main solutions include incoming and outgoing cabinets.
Incoming cabinet solution
The main circuit of the cabinet has one FZN□-12/630 vacuum load switch, which is equipped with isolation knife and ground knife if necessary. The above three are installed on one frame and interlocked with each other. Therefore, it can achieve the operation of connecting the busbar, isolating and grounding three workstations, and the cabinet can also be flexibly equipped with CT, PT and other components.
Outgoing cabinet solution
The main circuit inside the cabinet consists of a FZRN □-12/T200 vacuum load switch, a fuse with an striker (acting as an isolation switch) and a ground knife, which can also achieve three-station operation. The cabinet can also be flexibly equipped with components such as CT/PT and YH series lightning arrester, so sometimes the metering cabinet can be omitted. Both the incoming and outgoing cabinets are equipped with insulation protective partitions interlocked with the ground switch. The switches, partitions and cabinet doors inside the cabinet are mechanically interlocked and meet the "five prevention" requirement. The protection level of the cabinet shell is IP2X.
Use of product
Usage: Please strictly follow the following steps, otherwise it may cause damage.
Operation sequence of load switch
- Closing: When the load switch is in the open status, insert the operating handle into the operating hole of the load switch and turn it clockwise (about 180°) to close it.
- When the load switch is in the closed status, it can be operated by manual trip button or trip electromagnet to switch off the load switch. For load switch equipped with fuse with striker, after the fuse is blown, the striker can also switch off the load switch.
Power outage operation sequence
- Switch off the load switch to release the interlock between it and the isolation and ground switch.
- Insert the operating handle into the isolation and ground switch operating hole, and turn it clockwise (about 90°) to open the isolation knife.
- After rotating clockwise (about 90°) again, the ground switch quickly switches on.
- Insert the insulation partition to release the door interlock.
- Open the door for maintenance.
Power transmission operation sequence
- Close the cabinet door.
- Remove the insulation partition and lock the cabinet door.
- Insert the operating handle into the isolation and ground switch operating hole, rotate counterclockwise (about 90°) to disconnect the ground switch.
- Rotate the operating handle counterclockwise (about 90°) to disconnect the ground switch.
- Operate the load switch and switch it on to transmit power.
Fault handling
If the fasteners of the ring main unit become loose, the mechanical parts are poorly lubricated, and the vacuum degree of the vacuum extinguishing chamber decreases during operation, methods such as tightening, adding lubricant and applying pressure resistance should be used to check and eliminate the above faults after power outage.
Outline and installation dimension
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The unit has a rated/maximum operating voltage of 10/12 kV, a rated current of 630 A, and a rated short-time withstand current of 20 kA for 4 seconds.
It operates at ambient temperatures between -25°C and +40°C at altitudes up to 2000m. Daily average relative humidity must not exceed 95% (monthly average ≤ 90%) without significant contamination from corrosive/flammable gas or severe vibration.
The vacuum load switch has an endurance of up to 10,000 operations, while the grounding and isolating switch knives are rated for 2,000 operations.
The outgoing cabinet is equipped with mechanical interlocks between switches, insulation partitions, and doors, complying strictly with "five prevention" requirements, and holds an IP2X enclosure protection rating.
Ensure a full power outage before inspection. For loose fasteners, re-tighten them; for poorly lubricated mechanical parts, add lubricant; and for vacuum extinguishing chamber checks, apply pressure resistance testing to confirm integrity.
