Learn medium voltage switchgear schematics, covering bus section interlocks, trip and closing circuits, capacitor bank interlocks and indications, and earthing switch interactions with bus bar circuits to master related schematics.
Explore the LV bus section, with status LEDs for Vqb and breakers, two trip coils, test switches, and the relays, meters, and switches used for protection and testing.
Explore the single-line diagram of the bus section, detailing bus bars, two-core current transformers, protection and metering CTs, and trip and lockout relays for busbar protection.
Explore the bus section loop where vdt is supplied from the bus bar, and review the test switch, banana contact, F1 relay, and 2vt design for the bus analyzer.
Learn how the bus circuit closing sequence uses interlocks, authority levels (emergency, local, remote), and sync checks to prevent closing during protection lockouts or bus faults.
Explore the trapping circuit for the bus section, with S1/S2 local/remote control, emergency trips, and two-element trip circuit supervision that checks coil health and lockout 86 status.
Explore BS trip circuit 2 in a bus analyzer, showing tripping coil two with lockout protection and two spare contacts, and propose paralleling the F1 relay for redundancy.
Demonstrates the bs indication circuit and binary input setup for a bus analyzer, showing vqb status driving binary input one via F1 relay, with mechanical switches and interlock considerations.
Explore the tripping and lockout circuits, focusing on the F1 relay and its 23–24 contacts, how the lockout coil is supplied, monitored, and protected.
Explore the bistable impulse relay, a two-coil latching device that changes contact states with a pulse and holds position without power, with applications in busbar protection and current transformer switching.
Dear All,
Welcome to the course "Mastering Medium Voltage Schematics". This training starts from a very basic level to an advanced level. Focus has been given to delivering practical and hands-on knowledge.
