Explore the incoming feeder in medium voltage switchgear, including its interaction with upstream breakers, earthing interlocks, and the voltage transformer, to understand control and indication circuits.
Explore the LV compartment of incoming switchgear, featuring CVT capacitive voltage indicators, phase identification, control switches S1, S2, S25, synchronization configurations, and relay-based health monitoring.
Learn the single line diagram for the incoming feeder, including the busbar connection, VTT with primary/secondary windings, fuses, CTs, and directional protection feeding meters and control panels.
Examine a three-phase vt distribution circuit with capacitive voltage indicators forming a voltage divider, led phase indicators, earthing, directional protection, and mcps for each voltage branch across panels.
Analyze the closing circuit for the incoming switchgear, highlighting interlocks, local/remote control, the closing coil and motor, and how sync bypass and resettable busbar lockouts govern closing commands.
Explain the incomer tripping coil circuit, showing busbar protection and lockout relays triggering a remote trip. Observe two trip coils operating with protection energizing both, while control trips coil one.
Explain single point and double point indication for an incoming feeder, highlighting reliability and failure detection with loop supervision relays (f74) and fuse fail relays (f98) in medium voltage schematics.
Explain incomer interlocking between the 132 kV earth switch and upstream circuit breaker, and illustrate rack-in interlocks, bus earthing switch interlocks, and mechanical locks LZ9 and LSS10.
The indication circuit uses led indicators h1–h5 to show breaker states via vqb normally closed contacts and q naught positions. Push button energizes all leds to test health.
