Explore the fundamentals of medium voltage switchgear, its components and arrangements, with hands-on testing and practical insights into protection, control, and switching in metallic enclosures.
Discover metal-clad mv switchgear with segregated compartments: busbar, cable, switching, and low-voltage, plus an arc chamber to redirect arc faults and protect the system.
Explore busbar compartments as the feeder node, and learn single versus double busbar schemes, copper construction, and IEC-based ratings and installation guidelines.
Explore the cable compartment of medium voltage switchgear, including post insulators, feeder earthing switches, earthing busbars, voltage transformers, current transformers, and high voltage cable terminations.
Explore the circuit breaker compartment, including bushings, shutters, and vacuum interrupter, with emphasis on the truck, interlocks, and racking, plus rating plate and auxiliary switch.
Understand the low voltage compartment that isolates from medium voltage equipment and houses protection and control relays, metering meters, interlocks, and ac and dc supply monitoring.
Describe the safety shutter system in medium voltage switchgear, where two shutters open during insertion and close to prevent access to live parts, with PM metal shutters and lockable mechanisms.
Explore the medium voltage single line diagram, including busbars, incoming and outgoing feeders, bus risers, bus analyzers, and draw-out circuit breakers, and learn how bus risers improve system availability.
Learn how medium voltage circuit breakers switch loads, clear faults, and sense fault currents using current transformers and protection relays, with operating times of 30–60 ms and spring-operated mechanisms.
Explore the circuit breaker trolley, including capacitive voltage detecting systems, auxiliary and tripping switches, locking and coil mechanisms, and jaw-type vacuum contacts connecting busbar to cable.
