The U-Series ACR consists of ganged vacuum interrupters insulated with cyclo-aliphatic epoxy resin mouldings, operated by a single magnetic actuator for both tripping and closing. The mechanism is enclosed in a 316 grade stainless steel tank and lid, onto which is bolted to the cyclo-aliphatic epoxy resin casting. Surge arresters can be directly fitted to the ACR (depending on mounting method) and should be fitted at installation. Voltages are measured on each of the I Side Bushings and can be measured on the X - side Bushings if external VTs are fitted. Current is measured on each phase. The ACR itself retains information such as serial number, switchgear type, operations and contact wear, independently of the ADVC. The ACR can be tripped and locked out mechanically from the ground by a hookstick and then be locked out electronically by opening the isolating switches located on the ADVC. A clearly visible, external pointer shows whether the ACR is tripped or closed. The ACR is connected to the Advanced Controller (ADVC) via a control cable through the base of the ADVC. The ACR can be connected into a bare conductor system. The ADVC reads and displays the information which is stored in the ACR and provides protection and communication properties for the ACR. The ADVC consists of: an operator control panel mounted in the door, an electronic switchgear controller that monitors the ACR, and provides communication and protection functions, a power supply which also supplies power for customer equipment, an accessories and customer equipment compartment. is powered by an auxiliary voltage supply of 110, 220, or 240 volts AC. is connected to the ACR via a detachable control cable. The customer compartment provides ample room for equipment. Standard communications cables can be used for connection to the communications ports on the ADVC and power is readily accessible from the programmable power terminal block.

Pole mounting bracket with clamps if ordered. If a substation mounting bracket was ordered it will be attached to the outside of the crate. Six connectors if ordered (15TP or 30TP). caulking gun. The appropriate mounting kit. ADVC (which will normally contain two batteries unless arrangements have been made to ship batteries separately). Control cable. On receipt, the contents should be checked for shipping damage and the manufacturer informed immediately if any is found. Ensure that the ADVC is stored indoors until installation on site. If storage outdoors is unavoidable, ensure that the ADVC is kept in an upright position. Tools required: Lift the complete mounting bracket out of the crate. Take great care not to drop the bracket, which weighs nearly 30kg (66lb), onto the ACR. Wrecking bar to remove nails. Four D shackles, two slings and crane with a safe working load of 200kg to lift the ACR. Screw Driver or Battery Drill with 8mm socket. 16mm Spanner or Socket. 3 Procedure: 1 2 Control Cable Connection Remove top of crate and lift out the control cable. Store carefully in a clean dry place. Unscrew and remove the four (4) screws located on the wall of the crate. The mounting bracket, mounting kit and the two pieces of wood that the screws have just been removed from are all secured together. When installing or testing the ACR it is necessary to connect and disconnect the control cable either from the ACR, the ADVC or both. The control cable is plugged into the base of the ACR and the other end into the ADVC at the bottom, right-most socket on the Control and Protection Enclosure (CAPE). 4 5 Fit D-shackles to the lifting points on the ACR and lift it out of the crate and on to the ground using the crane. Tip the crate on to its side. Remove the bolts securing the ADVC and slide the unit from the crate. The control cubicle weighs approximately 40 kg (88lb). the plug (not visible). (2) Wriggle the plug to allow the clips to release. (3) Then pull the plug out. To do this successfully requires the correct technique: Power down the control cubicle by switching off all MCBs. This should be done whenever connecting or disconnecting the control cable. To connect: hold the plug by the long sides, check orientation, gently locate it on the socket and push firmly home. Check it has locked by wriggling the plug. If the plug cannot be pushed on with moderate force then it has not been located properly. Heavy force is never required. To disconnect: (1) Hold the plug by the short Figure 4: Handling the control cable plug Never pull the plug out by the cable. sides and grip hard to release the clips inside Testing & Configuring The tests can be carried out on site or in the workshop as preferred. Unpack the crate as above and put the HV cables, boots and the control cable in a clean safe place where they will not be damaged or soiled. Make a temporary earth connection between the ADVC and the ACR. 1mm² copper wire is adequate for the purpose. 3-1 U-Series Automatic Circuit Recloser Raise the ACR using a crane or forklift in order to safely gain access to the bottom of the ACR. Unbolt the cover plate over the switch cable entry module (SCEM) on the bottom of the ACR and connect the ACR end of the control cable to the SCEM. Lower the ACR on to props so that the control cable is not damaged by being caught between the base of the ACR and the floor. Then connect the ADVC end of the cable to the socket at the lower right-hand corner of the CAPE located inside the ADVC cubicle. (See Site Procedure, Step 14. on page 3-3.) The LV auxiliary supply (if applicable) should be connected as shown in Figure 5 (page 3-5). ‘Turn on the battery and auxiliary supply circuit breakers at the bottom of the control cubicle and carry out the following tests: 1. Manual trip and close of the ACR. Transport to Site 2. Insulation test the high voltage connections to earth to check for shipping damage on the high voltage side of the ACR. 3. Configure the protection settings. 4. Perform primary current injection as required. 5. Perform secondary current injection (if required by your Authority) using a Test and Training Set (TTS). 6. Fit and test a radio or modem if required. 7. Attend to the battery using the care instructions given in “Battery Care” on page 10-2. Connecting the batteries with reverse polarity will cause damage to the electronic systems. An application note detailing workshop and field test procedures is available. Contact your agent or distributor. If the unpacking and testing was carried out in the workshop then the ACR and ADVC must be transported safely to site. It is important the following steps are carried out: Turn off all ADVC MCBs and disconnect all control cable from both ACR and ADVC and put back the cover plate on the bottom of the ACR. Transport the ACR, ADVC and all parts in a safe and secure manner to site. auxiliary power supplies. Disconnect the Site Installation If you are replacing a pole-top control cubicle (PTCC) with an ADVC, the following should be considered: The ADVC mounting points will be different1. The connection to the auxiliary supply enters the cubicle at a different point. The earth stud is in a different position. Accessory cables may need extending. Unlike the PTCC which required an auxiliary power supply rating of 50VA, the ADVC requires 100VA. If the auxiliary supply is provided by an external VT connected through the ACR, there are limitations to the supply ratings of equipment that customers may fit. In ADVC, General Specifications See “Radio/Modem Power Supply Continuous Current” on page 11-4. Unlike the PTCC, the ADVC has locking hinges on the door which prevent the door from swinging or blowing shut. When you open the door to 180°, it locks into that position. To close the door, disengage the hinge locks by raising the door slightly before rotating it. Tools Required Torque wrench and metric socket set, normal engineers tools. Tools to prepare pole as required. Crane or other lift for ACR and ADVC, four D shackles and slings. Parts Required (Not supplied by the manufacturer) Fixing hardware for the control cable. This is a 27mm (1 1/16”) diameter sheathed conduit and can be fixed to the pole with ties, straps, P-clips or saddles. Earth wire and lugs for the earthing scheme and parts for LV mains auxiliary power connection. See Figure 5 (page 3-5), Figure 10 (page 3-10) and Figure 11 (page 3-11). Two 20mm galvanised or stainless steel bolts with washers and nuts etc. to bolt the ACR mounting bracket to power pole. See Figure 6 (page 3-6). If the optional pole clamps have been purchased this is not required. Mounting parts for the ADVC. Either 20mm steel strapping or 10mm galvanised or stainless steel bolts, nuts, etc. 1. 3-2 An accessory mounting bracket can be purchased to allow the use of the same mounting holes as were used with the manufacturer’s PTCC. (Part No. 99800125) Installation Site Procedure 20mm sealing cable entry glands to suit auxiliary supply mains cables, 16mm sealing cable entry glands to suit antenna or communications cable as required. To erect and test the ACR and ADVC, carry out the following steps. Mounting details are given in Figure 6 (page 3-6): 1. Transport to site and carry out testing prior to erection as required. 2. Connect cable tails and surge arresters before raising the ACR. See "Surge Arrester Mounting and Terminating" - page 3-4 . 3. Ensure that the pole is of sufficient strength to support the ACR. A structural engineer may be needed to calculate the stresses involved. 4. Securely mount the ACR mounting bracket on the power pole. 5. Lift the ACR into position and lower it onto the mounting bracket so that it sits on the mounting bracket. See Figure 6 (page 3-6) and Figure 8 (page 3-8). 6. Bolt the ACR to the mounting bracket with the four 12mm nuts and bolts provided. Tighten to 50 Nm. 7. Complete the high voltage connections. 8. Unbolt the SCEM compartment cover plate from the bottom of the ACR. Connect the control cable to plug P1 1 on the SCEM located inside the ACR. Then bolt up the Antenna, antenna feeder cable, and surge arrester as required if a radio is fitted (unless supplied by the manufacturer). When mounting the ADVC to a wooden pole, use a spirit level to ensure correct alignment, and minimise torque on the mounting brackets. 12. Attach the control cable to the power pole maintaining maximum available separation from the main earth bond (at 200mm for wood and concrete poles and 150mm for steel poles). Ensure that there is enough cable available at each end to permit connection to the equipment. 13. Run the earth connections as described in “Earthing” on page 3-4. It is vital that the earthing scheme is carried out as described. 14. Push the control cable from the ACR through the base of the ADVC 1 1 and then connect it to the switchgear socket 2 on the CAPE. 1 2 cover. See Figure 4 (page 3-1) for the correct way to connect/disconnect the control cable. 9. Run the control cable from the ACR down to the ADVC. 10. If the ADVC is to be bolted to the pole, drill the top hole and fit the bolt. If it is to be strapped, feed the straps through the slots on the upper and lower mounting brackets. 11. Lift the ADVC into position and bolt or strap it to the power pole. Note that the ADVC mounts have key holes as shown here, so that you can lift the ADVC on to the mounting bolt and slide it into position. 15. For LV mains supply run auxiliary wiring as shown in Figure 10 (page 3-10). Make the connection inside the ADVC as shown in Figure 5 (page 3-5). 16. For LV supply from a dedicated transformer supplied by the utility, connect as shown in Figure 11 (page 3-11). 17. For Integrated supply from an external transformer, connect as shown in Figure 11 (page 3-11). (See also “Auxiliary Power from Integrated Transformer” on page 3-5.) 18. Power down the ADVC by switching off all MCB’s. Note that this should be done whenever connecting or disconnecting the control cable from the ADVC. 19. Fit the batteries if they are not already in place. Fitting the batteries with reverse polarity will cause damage to the electronic systems. 3-3 U-Series Automatic Circuit Recloser Surge Arrester Mounting and Terminating 20. If communications equipment is to be installed,next read “Communications and Accessories Installation” on page 4-1. 21. Otherwise, next read “Testing Your Installation” on page 5-1. The ACR is type tested for Impulse Withstand Voltages up to 125kV depending on the model. See "Ratings and Specifications" - page 11-1 The surge arresters can be mounted on top of the brackets or clamped to the side of the brackets using the holes provided. Top holes are 12mm diameter, side holes are 16mm diameter. In this way most types of surge arrester can be accommodated. When there is a possibility that lightning or network switching conditions may produce peak voltages in excess of 70% of the Impulse Withstand Voltage, the manufacturer recommends the use of suitably rated surge arresters connected to each terminal of the ACR. The arresters should be mounted on the mounting brackets supplied by the manufacturer and earthed as described in Figure 7 (page 3-7) and Figure 9 (page 3-9). If the arresters are not mounted close to the ACR the protection they provide is significantly reduced. Lightning induced damage to the ACR or ADVC voids the warranty if surge arresters are not fitted. Mounting brackets are provided for surge arresters on the ACR. This is illustrated in Figure 6 (page 3-6) and Figure 8 (page 3-8). Earthing Figure 10 (page 3-10) shows the earthing common to all installations. This arrangement earths the ACR frame and the surge arresters directly to earth through a main earth bond consisting of a copper conductor of 70 sq. mm. Any surges will flow down this path. Do not earth surge arresters by a different path, doing this may cause damage to the control electronics or ACR. Also, any antenna should be bonded to the ACR or the main earth bond. The control cubicle is connected to this main earth bond by a tee-off. The control cubicle LV Auxiliary Power from Mains Where LV mains are connected to the control cubicle to provide auxiliary power, the connection must connect the neutral of the LV system to a tee-off from the main earth bond as shown in Figure 10 (page 3-10). A low voltage surge arrester must also be fitted from the LV phase connection to this tee-off. This connection scheme bonds the LV and HV earths and so protects the primary insulation of the auxiliary supply transformer in the control 3-4 The user should check that phase/phase and phase/earth clearance will be sufficient for their particular surge arresters and line voltages. For some types of side clamping surge arresters, the phase/earth clearance may be insufficient at the centre phase on the pole side at higher voltages. In this case the surge arrester can be mounted on the side of the power pole or an increased clearance ACR mounting bracket fitted. Connections from the surge arresters to the cable tails can be made by stripping off the cable tail insulation and using a parallel or “T” type clamp to make the connection to the cable tail. The connection should be made far enough up the tail so that phase/phase and phase/earth clearances are maintained. It is good practice to tape the joint using a bitumen or mastic tape, to maintain the cabling system insulation. electronics are internally protected from potential differences which may occur between the ACR frame and control cubicle frame whilst surge currents are flowing down the main earth bond. No other connections to earth from the control cubicle are allowed since surge currents will also flow in those paths. Follow this arrangement on both conducting and insulating power poles. Keep the main earth bond physically separated from the control cable, as they run down the power pole, by the maximum spacing available and at least 150mm. cubicle when surge currents are flowing. Fit additional LV surge arresters to all the other LV phases (if they exist), to balance the supply for other users connected to the LV system. If local conditions or wiring rules prohibit bonding the HV and LV systems in this way, providing the auxiliary supply to the control cubicle from the LV mains system is not possible. Instead, use one of the alternative arrangements detailed below. Installation Figure 5: LV Auxiliary Supply Connection LV Auxiliary Power from Dedicated Utility Transformer Figure 11 (page 3-11) shows wiring and earthing if a dedicated transformer is supplied by the utility. Note that this should not be used to supply any other equipment without consulting the manufacturer to ensure that no hazard is caused to the control cubicle electronics. Figure 11 (page 3-11) shows that the transformer and any steelwork is earthed to the switchgear tank and that one side of the transformer secondary is earthed to the earth stud on the equipment panel inside the control cubicle. Auxiliary Power from Integrated Transformer The manufacturer can provide a dedicated voltage transformer outside the ACR tank which connects directly into the control electronics. This is called an Integrated Auxiliary Supply. which is pre-fitted with a cable gland through the hole, secure the gland, connect the auxiliary supply to the screw terminal block on the SCEM and replace the compartment cover. An external transformer is mounted on the pole as shown in Figure 11 (page 3-11) which also shows suggested HV connections. The secondary of the external transformer connects into the SCEM on the underside of the ACR. To connect the transformer secondary, remove the SCEM compartment cover plate, pass the cable No additional earthing for Integrated Auxiliary Supply is required in addition to the common earthing shown in Figure 10 (page 3-10). If the secondary of the VT is earthed, electronics damage will occur. 3-5 U-Series Automatic Circuit Recloser Figure 6: ACR End Mounting and Dimensions 3-6 Installation Figure 7: End Mounting Example 3-7 U-Series Automatic Circuit Recloser Figure 8: Centre Mounting and Dimensions 3-8 Installation Figure 9: Centre Mounting Example 3-9 U-Series Automatic Circuit Recloser Figure 10: Common Earthing and LV Supply 3-10 Installation Figure 11: Utility Auxiliary Transformer 3-11 U-Series Automatic Circuit Recloser 3-12 Communications and Accessories Installation 4 Communications and Accessories Installation Ensure that the ADVC is switched off before proceeding with the installation of any accessory. Radio Antenna Mount the antenna and run the antenna feed to the ADVC or run external communications cable to the ADVC. The communication cable/radio antenna, enters the cubicle via the 16mm hole provided on the underside of the cubicle. Comms cable/ Radio Antenna Entry Underside of cubicle Figure 12: Cable Entry Protection of Radio Equipment It is highly advisable to connect a gas discharge type of surge arrester in the antenna feed to the radio. Failure to do so will result in loss of radio and control electronics protection which could lead to complete electronic failure due to lightning activity. A failure of this nature is not covered by the products general warranty arrangements. A feed-through or bulkhead type arrester fitted to the bottom of the control cubicle is ideal. If fitted internally the surge arrester should be earthed to an equipment panel mounting stud by the shortest possible wire. Holes are provided for a bulkhead surge arrester. If a surge arrester is not fitted then the co-axial earth screen should be earthed to the equipment panel by the shortest possible wire. 4-1 U-Series Automatic Circuit Recloser The Customer Compartment At the top of the customer equipment compartment is an accessory mounting rail for installing customer equipment and accessories.

Use of serial ports to connect directly to other devices outside the controller can cause damage and void warranty. If connections to other devices are required then isolation interfaces MUST be used. An RS485 port has been provided to enable higher speed multi-drop connections that often occur within substations. The RS-485 port is a female RJ45 connector.

This interface is primarily designed for use with voice frequency radio systems and provides additional signals for this purpose. The V23 connector is RJ45: The Push to Talk (PTT) signal is used to key up a radio transmitter. PTT is implemented using a Field Effect Transistor (FET) with an on resistance of 3.3 ohm. When PTT is asserted the transistor is turned on and connects the PTT signal to 0V. A busy signal can be provided by the radio to indicate receive channel busy. High level is +2.0V to +3.3V, and low level is 0V to +0.5V. The busy signal should be driven by an open collector output or current limited to 10 mA.

The FET is rated for a maximum of +32V and negative voltages are not permitted. Transmit and receive are unbalanced signals relative to 0 volts and are not isolated. If a DC level is imposed by the radio on the transmit line then this should be less than 2.5 VDC.

Testing Your Installation 5 Testing Your Installation The following sections give details of how the ACR and ADVC, installed as described in “Installation” on page 3-1, should be prepared for operation. Check that the installation and external connections have been carried out as described in this manual and in accordance with local regulations. Powering Up the ADVC 1 Turn on the battery circuit breaker, Ensure that earthing has been carried out as described in “Earthing” on page 3-4. Check that no visible damage has occurred during the installation. Carry out any visual and electrical tests, such as insulation and contact resistance, considered necessary to prove that the installation is sound. 3 4 5 The batteries are capable of supplying very high currents. Always turn off the battery circuit breaker before connecting or disconnecting the batteries in the cubicle. Never leave flying leads connected to the battery. 2 Turn on the auxiliary supply circuit breaker if the auxiliary supply is being provided by either an LV mains or dedicated auxiliary transformer. Battery For this and all subsequent tests you will need to check settings on display group pages (See “Display Groups” on page 7-2.) You may also have to check the Event Log (See “Event Log” on page 8-1.) 1 In the System Status group, go to page SWITCHGEAR STATUS - S 2 Check the Battery status. Turn on the VT supply to cubicle circuit breaker if the auxiliary supply is being provided by an integrated transformer. Powering up the ADVC with the ACR connected will cause the ADVC to read data from the ACR. This will take up to 60 seconds during which the message: “READING - Do NOT disconnect Switchgear” will flash at the top of the display. The System OK LED on the OCP should flash to indicate that the ADVC is powered and functioning. If the configuration file containing the settings to be used in operation has not previously been loaded, it should be loaded now using WSOS, or the settings should be entered via the OCP. The ACR and ADVC are now ready for operation. Prior to energising the ACR, you should perform the checks detailed below, to confirm that the equipment is fully operational and properly configured. If you are familiar with navigating Operator Control Panel display groups, proceed with the checks described below.

Check that LOCAL CONTROL is ON. In the System Status group, go to page SWITCHGEAR STATUS - S 3 If Switch Data remains “Invalid”, check the following: Examine each end of the control cable, checking for bent or broken pins and rectify if found. Also check the socket at both the SCEM and P1 in the ADVC for damage. If the pins are OK, the cable itself may be faulty1, therefore test the control cable for continuity. If Switch Data remains “Invalid”, check the power supply to the SCEM by checking the voltage on Pins 2 and 5 of the control cable. The voltage should be approximately 36VDC if the auxiliary supply is present or approximately 26VDC if running on batteries. switch off the VT supply to cubicle circuit breaker. Check that the Aux Supply status changes to Fail. (Allow 3 - 5 seconds.) 4 Check that the battery voltage has dropped by approximately 2V, and that the battery remains in Normal state. If the battery voltage continues dropping, and the battery state is LOW, the batteries may be flat. If the batteries are flat, replace them. 5 6 Go to page EVENT LOG and check that the bottom line of the display (the most recent event) contains the Aux Supply Off event.

Testing Your Installation 4 5 Terminal Designation and Phase Rotation The tag has two possible settings: Applied or OFF. OFF is the default. Press the SELECT key to select the work tag field. Press to change the setting to Applied and then press ENTER to activate the setting. The message: “WORK TAG APPLIED” will flash at the top of the display. The power system phase assigned to each set of bushings on the ACR must be correctly indicated at the time of installation of the ADVC. This process is called “setting the phasing”. Setting the phasing affects all the displays, events, etc., concerned with recloser terminals, for example: voltage measurements, live/dead terminal displays and maximum current events. 6 7 setting back to OFF. - - - - - TERMINAL DESIGNATION/ROTATION - - - - - S A Phase = Bushings I + X Phasing ABC B Phase = Bushings II + XX C Phase = Bushings III+XXX 3 4 5 Phasing is set from the System Status page TERMINAL DESIGNATION/ROTATION - S Power Flow Direction Setting 1 Press the SELECT key to select the Phasing field. 2 Press to change the setting. The ACR is a symmetrical device meaning that either side can be connected to the power source. However, the power source would normally be connected to the side with the CVTs. The bushings on that side are labelled l, ll, and lll. Consequently, after installation, the controller must be configured to designate the source side. The power flow direction is configured on page SYSTEM STATUS - PHASE VOLTAGE and POWER FLOW: and may be either Source I, Load X or Source X, Load I. Tripping and Closing If system conditions allow, tripping or closing can be carried out at this point. 1 Enable/ Disable Switches Trip and close the ACR from the ADVC. See “Operator Control Panel” on page 7-1. for information on the Trip and Close controls. Return to page SWITCHGEAR STATUS - S and change the Normal/default phasing is A, B and C for bushings I + X, II + XX and III + XXX. Normal/ default phase rotation is ABC. If the phasing at the ACR and/or phase rotation of the network are different from the default, you must set the phasing and/or the phase rotation. Go to page EVENT LOG and check that the bottom line of the display (the most recent event) contains the Work Tag Applied event. 6 Press the ENTER key when you have the required phase combination. The controller then orientates the currents and voltages to match the selection. In the Phasing field, select the phase rotation - either ABC or ACB. Go to page EVENT LOG and check that the bottom line of the display (the most recent event) contains the Phasing order event. After the phasing has been set, you should record the details on the label on the rear of the control cubicle door (above the operator panel) to indicate the relationship between the bushings and phases. When changed, this reverses the power flow direction but not the phasing. Power flow direction setting is used to determine: Whether the source or load corresponds to (I) or (X) on the voltage measurement displays. Which direction is positive power flow for use on the kWh totals in the Maximum Weekly Demand display and APGS. Which is the source or load for Live Load Blocking. Which is the source or load for Directional Blocking/Protection. 2 Tripping and closing should cause the LED on the appropriate TRIP/CLOSE button to illuminate which should agree with the position of the pointer on the ACR. For each of the CLOSE and TRIP keys in turn, test ENABLE and DISABLE by: When the CLOSE or TRIP mechanism is disabled, the message 1 The TRIP or CLOSE circuit is isolated Disable either mechanism e.g. CLOSE. 5-3 U-Series Automatic Circuit Recloser will flash in every display page title, alternately with the actual title of the page. 2 Go to page EVENT LOG and check that the bottom line of the display (the most recent event) contains the Close Coil Isolate event. (For the same test of the TRIP Mechanical Trip 1 Secondary Injection Testing If secondary injection testing is required to test protection settings but operation of the ACR is not possible, secondary injection can be performed with a suitable current injection set with the Test and Training Set (TTS) in standalone mode connected to the ADVC, and the ACR disconnected. Use a hook stick to manually trip the ACR via the manual trip lever. Primary Injection Testing If the ACR can be isolated from the network, primary injection testing can be performed if required. Power Flow Direction Testing This test is to ensure that the source and load designations are correct.

If tripping and closing of the ACR is possible and preferred, perform secondary injection testing with the TTS in parallel mode. Since either side of the recloser can be connected to the power source, the controller must be configured to designate the source side. If the I -side bushings are connected to the source, the setting 1 should be Source I, Load X. mechanism the Event Log should display Trip Coil Isolate.)

Press SELECT again to reset the flags. 5-5 U-Series Automatic Circuit Recloser 5-6 Control Electronics Operation 6 Control Electronics Operation Sealing & Condensation The ADVC is purposely designed for outdoor pole mounted operation. The cubicle is vented and insulated to minimise internal temperature variation and maximise battery life. Figure 24 (page B-2) shows the cubicle’s dimensions. All cubicle vents are screened against vermin entry and the cubicle door is sealed with replaceable foam tape. Condensation can be expected to form under some atmospheric conditions such as tropical storms. However, condensation will be on metal surfaces where it is of no consequence. The water runs out in the same way as any other water entering the cubicle. Condensation will run out of the bottom or be dried by ventilation and self heating. Complete sealing against water entry under all conditions is not expected e.g. during operation in the rain. Instead, the design is such that if any water does enter, it will run out of the bottom without affecting the electrical or electronic parts. The extensive use of stainless steel and other corrosion proof materials ensures that the presence of moisture has no detrimental effects. All electronic modules are fully sealed and have self heating. Auxiliary Power Source The auxiliary supply is used to maintain charge on the sealed lead-acid batteries that provide standby power when auxiliary power is lost. The controller monitors the status of both the auxiliary and battery supplies. A low power mode is activated when the batteries are nearly exhausted due to loss of the auxiliary supply. This mode minimises power consumption while still maintaining basic functionality. Controller The controller comprises 3 modules (See Figure 18 (page 6-3): Power supply unit (PSU) Control and protection enclosure (CAPE) PSU Module The PSU module supplies power to the CAPE, and to the customer compartment. The PSU module: connects to the batteries controls the supply from external auxiliary sources filters these supplies and manages the battery power level. It also performs battery testing and has a nonvolatile, real time clock. A general purpose power outlet is available as an optional extra CAPE Module The CAPE Module comprises two printed circuit board assemblies and the trip and close capacitors housed in a die-cast aluminium enclosure. The two printed circuit board assemblies are: PCOM: Protection and Communication Module SWGM: Switchgear Module The CAPE enclosure is manufactured from pressure die-cast aluminium. The front surface with the user and switchgear connectors, and the rear surface, are gasketed to provide an IP65 Degree of Protection. The enclosure also Basic Display Unit (BDU). The ADVC block diagram is given in Figure 19 (page 6-4). (country customizable). The incoming power is protected and isolated by a circuit breaker. The supply from the batteries is protected and isolated by a circuit breaker. The electronic components are contained inside a housing that provides environmental protection, sealing and EMI shielding. The power outlet, circuit breakers and switches are easily accessible when the ADVC door is opened. The batteries are located and retained on the exterior top of the PSU module. provides EMC shielding for the CAPE electronics. The PCOM is the heart of the ADVC and includes the data acquisition hardware (including a powerful Digital Signal Processor) and communications hardware (Ethernet, RS232, RS485 and V23). All user-interface, measurement, protection, communication and control functionality is provided by software running on the PCOM. The SWGM contains the switchgear interface hardware, SCEM interface hardware, EMC protection and filtering devices and high voltage inverters for the trip and close capacitors. 6-1 U-Series Automatic Circuit Recloser Operator Interface/ Door Assembly The operator interface is provided by a separate module - the basic display unit (BDU) with its own processor. The BDU comprises the electronics compartment cover, an operator control panel (OCP) with LCD display, a membrane keyboard and its controlling microprocessor and the WSOS communications port. The BDU is attached to the door of the cubicle and the operator control panel (OCP) can be accessed through a hatch in the front door. Under normal circumstances the hatch, which can be latched open, is the usual access point to the OCP. When you are commissioning the ADVC, you can lock the door open and swivel the OCP open 90 degrees to the door. See Figure 18 (page 6-3). This allows you to gain access to the OCP at the same time as commissioning the equipment in the customer compartment. The BDU plugs into Port E of the CAPE and uses this port for its power and communications Additionally, there is a Trip/Isolate connection to the CAPE and the WSOS2 interface is connected to an RS232 port. WSOS Interface Connect your PC serial port to the maintenance port provided below the OCP. Use an RS232, DB9 male to DB9 female, straight-through cable. Customer Compartment The compartment is fitted with a panel tray that facilitates the mounting of your equipment e.g. a radio or modem including any special interfaces. See Figure 18 (page 6-3). The compartment has a terminal block for the radio supply and power for accessories such as an IOEX2. An accessory heater can also be fitted which is controlled by the PSU. 6-2 Control Electronics Operation Operator Control Panel CAPE Customer Equipment Compartment Batteries PSU Figure 18: Advanced Controller 6-3 U-Series Automatic Circuit Recloser Figure 19: ADVC Block Diagram 6-4 Operator Control Panel 7 Operator Control Panel Description The operator control panel (OCP) is the user interface to the basic display unit (BDU) which is mounted on the door of the ADVC.The OCP consists of a four-line liquid crystal display (LCD) and keypad with switches and light emitting diodes (LEDs), which are used to select and monitor the functionality of the ACR. The OCP turns ON automatically when the hatch is opened, or if the door is opened and the panel is repositioned, and OFF when it is closed. The OCP also turns OFF automatically if no keys are pressed for 10 minutes. Pressing any key for 1 second will reactivate it. 1 14 16 17 2 6 5 13 15 3 11 12 4 7 9 8 10 Figure 20: Operator Control Panel Number Item Description 1 Display Back-lit LCD, 4 line with 40 characters per line. 2 Close key Generates a Close request to the CAPE when the OCP is active.

The ADVC measures up to 10 power system components: A, B, C, phase and spill currents, phase-earth voltage on all six terminals. total and per phase power (kW, kVA, kVAR), total and per phase power factor, harmonics, earth current, and sequence components. In addition the ADVC also measures several internal values such as: CAPE temperature, switchgear temperature1 frequency, phase to phase voltages, auxiliary voltage, battery voltage. Power System Frequency The controller must be set for the correct power system frequency – either 50 or 60 Hz. This is set on page Real Time Displays The first five screens of the System Measurements group contain real time displays. They are: The ADVC uses the above measurements to derive many system measurements including: 1 2 3 4 5 System Measurements Current (includes phase angles) Voltage Sequence Voltage Power The ninth screen, Maximum demand Indicator, also contains some real time data.

Be careful to ensure that if working on the ADVC with the door open in heavy rain, water does not enter the circuit breakers or general power outlet. No user maintenance of the ACR mechanism is required. A warning is displayed in the event log when the remaining contact life reaches 20%. The ACR should be returned to the manufacturer for refurbishment if the mechanical duty or breaking duty is exceeded. This is checked by examining the remaining contact life on the Operator Control Panel. When the remaining contact life in any phase approaches zero, the ACR has reached the end of its life and must be replaced. ADVC Maintenance Maintenance of the ADVC is required every five years. The manufacturer recommends the work described below. Cleaning Check for excessive dirt on the cubicle, particularly the roof, and clean off. Battery Replacement Battery replacement is recommended after a period of five years. See "Battery Care" page 10-2 . The procedure is: 1 2 Battery Heater Accessory Ensure that the mesh covering the air vents and the water drainage holes in the base are clean. Ensure that battery polarity is correct. 3 Turn off the battery circuit breaker. Unplug batteries and replace with new batteries. Where the battery heater accessory has been fitted the following procedure should be followed: 1 2 3 Every five years the bushing boots should be checked, cleaned if necessary and the pointer checked to ensure it is free from mechanical obstructions. In areas of high atmospheric pollution more frequent cleaning may be appropriate. Turn off the battery circuit breaker. Disconnect batteries and heater. Open straps and remove heater box. The battery heater box is heavy and should be removed with caution. Do not tilt the heater box. The cover may slide off and the batteries may fall out. Turn on the battery circuit breaker and ensure that “Battery Normal status”, is restored on the page SYSTEM STATUS-SWITCHGEAR STATUS 4 Remove batteries and replace with new batteries. Ensure that battery polarity is correct. 5 6 7 Replace the heater box, close straps. Reconnect batteries and heater. Turn on the battery circuit breaker and ensure that “Battery Normal status”, is 10-1 U-Series Automatic Circuit Recloser restored on the page SYSTEM STATUS-SWITCHGEAR STATUS Battery (+) Battery (-) Heater Connection Battery heater failure will be reported in the Event Log. Door Seal Check the door sealing rubber for perishing or undue hardening. If necessary renew the seal. Battery Care The battery is predicted to provide good performance for the recommended five year service period. This is based on the battery manufacturer's data. No battery warranty is given by the manufacturer of the ADVC. Once in service, batteries need little care. Procedures for storage and other contingencies are as follows: they should be taken out, cycled and have their capacity checked before being returned to service. To cycle a battery, discharge with a 10 Ohm 15 Watt resistor to a terminal voltage of 10V. Next, recharge it with a voltage regulated DC supply set to 13.8V. A 3A current limited supply is appropriate. Batteries should be stored at a temperature of between 0°C to 30°C (32°F to 86°F) and cycled every six months. Batteries should be stored for a maximum of one year. Batteries should be cycled prior to putting into service if they have not been cycled within three months. When shipped by the manufacturer the batteries will have been cycled within the previous 30 days. If the batteries become exhausted in service and are left for more than two weeks without auxiliary supply being restored to the ADVC Battery type, either standard or extended temperature, is given in Appendix A (page A-1). More information on the battery care is available from the battery manufacturer. Abnormal Operating Conditions The operation of the capacitor charging inverter can be affected under abnormal conditions such as when the battery capacity is very low. The following features are used to protect the ADVC in this situation while still allowing the ACR to keep operating. Low Power Mode When the batteries are nearly exhausted, the ADVC will change its capacitor charging mode from normal to low power. In low power mode the controller takes longer to charge the capacitors and the radio supply is shut down. A “Low Power Mode” event is logged whenever this happens. 10-2 These batteries are capable of supplying very high currents. Always turn off the battery circuit breaker before connecting or disconnecting the batteries in the cubicle. Never leave flying leads connected to the battery. Maintenance Excess Close Operations When a trip occurs in low power mode, the recloser will go to lockout if the capacitors cannot be recharged quickly enough. Operator close and trip operations can be performed, but at a longer time interval than normal. If an operator trip or close request is denied, a “Cap Chrg” event will be logged. During testing it is possible to carry out so many trip/close operations that the capacitor charging inverter shuts itself down before it overheats. It takes more than 20 operations within a minute to do this and is not going to happen while in service (it only happens during excessive testing). Fault finding within the ADVC involves determining whether the fault lies in the electronic modules, the wiring or elsewhere. The electronic modules are user replaceable items. Other faults require the ADVC to be returned to the factory. If the System OK LED is not flashing, check for loss of power. Check that the BDU is plugged in to the CAPE. Check that the battery circuit breaker is on and that full battery voltage is present at the terminals. Check the presence of aux supply on the aux supply circuit breaker. Check that the supply between the PSU and CAPE has not been disconnected. Rectify if a problem is discovered. If power supply is present then attempt to go on-line with WSOS to determine whether the CAPE is functioning correctly. Replace the CAPE or BDU as required. If this does not rectify the problem then the ADVC should be returned for factory repair. To return to normal power mode, the auxiliary supply must have been switched back on for a minimum of 15 minutes, and the batteries may have to be replaced. When this happens the inverter shuts down for 5 minutes and a “Cap Excess Closes” event is logged. During this time all trip/close requests will be denied. Fault Finding ADVC Check A suggested fault finding approach is as follows: If the System OK LED on the OCP is flashing then the CAPE microprocessor and the BDU microprocessor are running. If the OCP does not operate there is a problem with the display itself and the BDU should be replaced. If the display is operating, check the SYSTEM STATUS - SWITCHGEAR STATUS page for an indication of any power supply problems (Aux Supply Fail and/or Battery OFF) which can be traced and rectified. Replacement of Electronic Modules and Upgrades Electronic modules are user replaceable. Care should be taken to avoid damage to the modules while they are outside the cubicle and replacement should only be carried out by competent personnel. PSU and CAPE firmware can be upgraded through WSOS. Refer to the Operator Manual for further details. Removal of parts from modules will void the warranty. 10-3 U-Series Automatic Circuit Recloser 10-4 Ratings and Specifications 11 Ratings and Specifications Equipment and Crating Dimensions Equipment Weights Part Weight kg (lbs) Control cable 6 (13) Control cubicle 37 (81) (without accessories and with 7Ah batteries) HV cables (185mm2 Al cables, qty 6, length as ordered) complete with bushing boots. 26 (57) Pole Mounted ACR 118 (261) Pole mounting bracket 24 (53) Surge Arrester Mounting Bracket 16 (36) Sundry Mounting items 8 (18) Gross weight of crate 297 (655) Dimensions mm (ins) Cubicle (See Appendix B) 1000mm x 375mm x 305mm (39.4” x 14.8” x 12.0”) Crate Dimensions Width Depth Height ACR Rated maximum voltage (27kV Rating) 27kV Rated maximum voltage (15.5kV Rating 15.5kV Rated Continuous Current 630 Amp Rated Frequency 50/60Hz Rated Mainly Active (0.7pf) Breaking Capacity 630A Rated Cable Charging Interrupting Current 25A Rated Line Charging Interrupting Current 5A Rated Transformer Magnetising Interrupting Current 22A Rated Symmetrical Interrupting Current 12.5kA Rated Asymmetrical Making Current (Peak) 32.5kA Rated Symmetrical Making Current (RMS) 12.5kA Short Time Current for 3 Seconds 12.5kA Short Time Current Recovery Time 180 sec Rated Impulse Withstand Voltage (27 kV Rating) 125kV 11-1 U-Series Automatic Circuit Recloser Breaking Duty Duty Cycle Rated Impulse Withstand Voltage (15.5 kV Rating) 110kV Power Frequency Withstand Phase/Earth and across interrupter 60kV Opening/Closing Mechanism Latching magnetic actuator D.C.
