1 Switchgear Description1
1.1 General
The switchgear NXPLUS C is a maintenance-free, factory-assembled and type-tested

medium-voltage switchgear.
It is three-pole metal-enclosed and SF6-insulated.
Vacuum circuit-breaker, switch-disconnector, disconnector and vacuum contactor panels
are available. All panel types up to 1250 A have the same dimensions.
The core of the switchgear consists of hermetically welded containers made of corrosion-
resistant stainless steel, accommodating the primary devices (circuit-breaker and three-
position switch).
The switchgear is sealed for life. The individual panels are interconnected by solid-insulated
busbars outside the gas compartments.
Gas work is not required, neither for installation at site nor for extension of the switchgear.
The operating mechanisms of the vacuum circuit-breaker, three-position switch-
disconnector, three-position disconnector and vacuum contactor are located outside the
gas compartment and are therefore accessible at any time. The operating mechanisms are
maintenance-free.
Current and voltage transformers are located outside the gas compartment.
Cables are connected from the front. They are arranged at one level side-by-side and at a
user-friendly mounting height.
1.2 Panel Design
A switchpanel consists of the following functional components:

 Busbar compartment with 1-pole insulated, plugged-in and bolted busbars
 Switchgear vessel with vacuum circuit-breaker, vacuum contactor, three-position
disconnector and/or three-position switch-disconnector
 Cable compartment
 Low-voltage compartment
 Panel enclosure
The switchgear vessel made of stainless steel is laser-welded and meets the requirements
of a sealed pressure system.
Panels are interconnected by the plug-in busbars.
Cables are connected through enclosed cable plugs of the outside-cone system. All
functional components of the primary part mentioned above are safe-to-touch.
Pressure is relieved to the top through a rear duct. This duct contains absorbers to cool
down the hot gases in case of an arc fault.

Revision:
The internal arc classification is specified according to IEC 62271-200. NXPLUS C

switchgear is provided for free-standing arrangement.
The degree of protection is IP65 for live parts of the primary circuit, and IP3XD for the
switchgear enclosure.
The switchgear enclosure is powder-coated with highly resistant epoxy resin in the color:
The mimic diagram at the switchgear front is designed with the following color
combinations:
 "Light-basic"
Earthing symbol and earthing path: "red" color,
other symbols: "black" color
1.3 Switchgear Vessel
The switchgear vessel made of hermetically welded stainless steel accommodates the
active, live parts of the switchgear:
 Vacuum interrupters
 Three-position switch
 Panel bars
 Bushings with capacitive layers
 Voltage transformer disconnecting facility with bushings
The rated pressure of the SF6 gas in the vessel is 1500 hPa (absolute).
Gas density is monitored with temperature compensation. When too low, gas density is
transmitted to the outside without contacts and indicated.
Due to the welding technology and the special mechanical bushings, gaskets are not
necessary at all. This guarantees operation without gas checks or refilling.
1.4 Switching Devices
1.4.1 Circuit-Breaker
The vacuum interrupters are operated linearly from the outside mechanism, without
kinematic deflections inside the enclosure. They are operated by the outside mechanism
without seals through hermetically sealed metal bellows which are welded into the module
partition.
The circuit-breakers used in NXPLUS C belong to the well-known product range 3AH. The
maintenance-free operating mechanism has the following equipment features:
 Motor operating, stored-energy spring mechanism, with auto-reclosing capacity
 ’’Trip-free’’ according to IEC
 Auxiliary switch contacts for control and signaling
 Operation counter

1.5 Three-Position Switch
1.5.1 General
The disconnecting and earthing functions are combined in one switching device. This
reduces the functional parts and makes interlocks between these two functions
unnecessary.
The primary part is welded into the switchgear vessel.
The operating mechanism is located outside the switchgear vessel. There are separate
operating shafts available for the two functions.
1.5.2 Three-Position Disconnector
In circuit-breaker, disconnector and bus sectionalizer panels, the three-position
disconnector fulfils the functions DISCONNECTING and, in combination with the circuit-
breaker, make-proof EARTHING.

 Auxiliary switch contacts, earthing switch: 6 NO, 6 NC for free use
 Mechanical position indicators for disconnector and earthing switch positions
 Locking device
 Electromagnetic interlock at the disconnector and earthing switch
1.6 Interlocks
In single-busbar switchgear, the circuit-breakers and three-position disconnectors are

mechanically interlocked between each other.
Interlocking conditions:
 Operation of the three-position switch cannot be selected as long as the circuit-
breaker is closed.
 When ''operation of three-position switch'' is selected, the circuit-breaker is blocked
against closing.
 The selection ''disconnector function'' or ''earthing switch function'' releases the
operating shaft of the associated switching operation only.
 The operating lever cannot be removed until the switching operation has been
completed.
Revision:
 The circuit-breaker cannot be operated until the operating lever of the three-
position switch has been removed and the control gate is moved to the centre
position.
 Feeder earthing (three-position switch to EARTHED and circuit-breaker CLOSED)
is secured against ''de-earthing'' (by a padlock).
 Electrical connections to releases are interrupted when the three-position switch is
switched to EARTHED.
 The feeder locking device prevents the circuit-breaker from being switched off
mechanically at the panel.
 The feeder locking device can only be locked if the feeder is earthed.
 Feeder locking device with signaling switch.
 The additional earthing switch for busbar earthing is only released if the feeder is
earthed.
1.7 Cable Connection
The cable compartment is only accessible from the front using tools.
The three phases are arranged side-by-side at the same height. The connection height is
702 mm. In circuit-breaker and disconnector panels with a panel width of 900 mm, the
connection height is 577 mm. In a switch-disconnector or vacuum contactor panel (with HV
HRC fuses) the connection height is 450mm.
In the different panel versions it is possible to connect up to three (up to 1000 A), up to four
(1250 A), and up to eight (from 2000 A) cables per phase with safe-to-touch T-plugs
according to the outside-cone system (DIN EN 50181, interface type C). Symmetrical
current distribution must be ensured.

In 1250 A panels with a normal current from 1150 A, cable sealing ends with tin-plated,
nickel-plated or silver-plated cable lugs have to be used (observe the associated
specifications of the T-plug supplier).
Using suitable T-plugs, cable testing can be performed directly at the cable termination. A
separate test socket can therefore be omitted.
1.8 Instrument Transformers
1.8.1 Current Transformers

Revision:
Current transformers are designed as ring-core transformers. They are fitted outside the
vessels at earth potential, i.e. without dielectric stress.
In the cable connection area, the current transformers are fitted around the bushings in
front of the cable terminations. At the busbar, the current transformers are fitted around the
screened conductors of the busbar.
Ratio, rating and accuracy can be adjusted to the respective requirements.
1.8.2 Voltage Transformers
Voltage transformers are designed as inductive transformers. They are of the plug-in type
and fitted outside the gas compartment.
 Feeder voltage transformers:
Feeder voltage transformers (metal-coated) are connected to their particular
sockets underneath the vessel. For voltage tests to be performed on the
switchgear or the cables there is a disconnecting facility provided in the gas
compartment in front of the bushings. This disconnecting facility is operated from
the cable compartment. During the test, the primary connection of the voltage
transformer is earthed.
1.9 Busbar
The busbar is located outside the SF 6 compartment in a metal enclosure. It is plugged onto
the switchgear vessels from above and screwed tight.
The busbar itself is made of round-bar copper, the length of which depends on the panel
width. It is insulated with silicone rubber, which is coated with a conductive layer on the
outside and earthed. The bolted joints are insulated with cross adapters, also made of
silicone rubber. These cross adapters are coated with a conductive layer both inside and
outside. Therefore, no field distortion can appear at the bolted high-voltage joints.
Due to the earthed coating of the busbar system, the arrangement is independent of
environmental influences such as condensation and pollution.
1.10 Switchgear Enclosure
The internal arc classified switchgear enclosure consists of the following assemblies:
 Three-part panel front
 Pressure-resistant partitions between the panels for the cable compartment
 Rear wall with pressure relief duct and integrated absorbers
 Busbar cover with absorbers
 Switchgear termination consisting of end walls with draw-out tool drawer
1.11 Operation
Switchgear operation takes place mechanically via control elements at the panel front.
Switchgear operation is also possible through a suitable bay controller (option) mounted on
the panel front. Electrical operation takes place through the foil keyboard of this device. An

Revision:
LCD with mimic diagram of the feeder shows the switch position. More information can be
called through this display.
1.12 Earthing
1.12.1 Feeder earthing

 Circuit-breaker panels
Feeders are make-proof earthed by switching in two steps:
1. Switch the three-position disconnector to the READY-TO-EARTH position.
2. Close the associated circuit-breaker.
 Vacuum contactor panels, switch-disconnector panels, metering panels and ring-
main panels:
Feeders are make-proof earthed with the three-position switch-disconnector in
EARTHED position.
1.12.2 Busbar earthing
 with bus sectionalizer
The bus sectionalizer is equipped with a three-position disconnector The three-
position disconnector is switched to the EARTHED position, and the right busbar
section is make-proof earthed by closing the circuit-breaker.
If the bus sectionalizer is equipped with two three-position disconnectors, one
three-position disconnector is in CLOSED position and the other one is in
EARTHED position. The left or right busbar section is make-proof earthed by
closing the circuit-breaker.
 with busbar earthing switch in the circuit-breaker panel
One circuit-breaker panel (outgoing feeder panel) is equipped with an additional
earthing switch, which is electrically arranged downstream from the circuit-breaker.
In the first step, the feeder is earthed (as described above). Then the additional
earthing switch is switched to EARTHED position, which means that the feeder is
permanently earthed via this earthing switch.
After opening the circuit-breaker, the three-position disconnector is switched to
CLOSED position. The busbar is make-proof earthed by closing the circuit-breaker
again.
1.13 Capacitive Voltage Detecting System
Capacitive layers are integrated in the bushings.

Capacitive voltage detection is performed with an LRM socket module (LRM = low
resistance modified). In this LRM socket module, customary voltage indicators can be
plugged in to verify safe isolation from supply phase by phase.
Furthermore, the panels can optionally be equipped with the capacitive voltage detecting
systems VOIS+, VOIS R+, CAPDIS Sx+, WEGA 1.2 or WEGA 2.2, integrated in the panel
front.

Revision:
The voltage detecting system VOIS+ offers the following properties and functions:
 Maintenance-free
 Without auxiliary power
 Integrated indication via display
 With integrated 3-phase test socket for phase comparison (also suitable for plug-in
voltage indicator)
The voltage detecting system VOIS R+ offers the following properties and functions:
 With auxiliary power
voltage indicator)
 Relay output with potential-free contact for signaling purposes and interlocks
The voltage detecting system CAPDIS S1+, WEGA 1.2 offers the following properties and
functions:
 Without auxiliary power

 With ready-for-service monitoring
The following description of the typicals explains which of the 6 voltage detecting systems is
applied in each panel version.

Revision:
1.14 Low-Voltage Compartment
Low-voltage compartments are located at the front and are removable. The secondary
devices (associated protection, measuring and control devices) are mounted in the low-
voltage compartment on a rear mounting plate or a top-hat rail system. Single devices can
be integrated in the door of the low-voltage compartment.
The electrical connections to the primary part and from panel to panel are made via flexible
wire harnesses with 10-pole plug connectors.
General bus wires are laid in a separate connection duct located at the top.
Internal panel wires are laid in metal-clad wiring ducts. These are located on the left and
right side in the front part of the switchgear enclosure and are accessible from the cable
compartment resp. the low-voltage compartment. The right-side wiring duct accommodates
the internal panel wiring. Customer-specific control cables can be routed to the low-voltage
compartment through the left-side wiring duct. External control cables are inserted from
below on the left side of the panel through a cutout in the panel base.

2 Special Switchgear Features2

2.1 Operational Reliability
Consistent hermetically welded enclosure of all live parts from the busbar down to the cable
excludes any external influence on the primary part.
In addition, the welded stainless-steel enclosures make any loss of SF6 gas impossible.
Components proven for many years, such as welded-in bushings, welded-in bellows and
the Siemens vacuum switching technology, are integrated in this innovative global concept.
2.2 Personal Safety
The internal enclosure of components, the internal arc resistant design and the complete
interlocking concept all guarantee a maximum degree of personal safety.
2.3 Climatic and Environmental Independence
Hermetically welded stainless-steel enclosures make the NXPLUS C insensitive to any

environmental influences. The primary part is therefore consistently protected against
external influences such as humidity, pollution, dust, aggressive gas, small animals, etc.
Any ingress of pollution resp. humidity through seals is excluded by this design.
The a.m. reasons make the offered switchgear also suitable for application in extreme
climates or under aggressive environmental conditions.
NXPLUS C meets the requirements of ''design class 2'' according to IEC Report 932.
2.4 Compactness
SF6 insulation enables very compact dimensions, as well as high switchgear performance.
This provides an economical utilization of surface and space, especially in cities and
conurbations, both for existing constructions and for new buildings.
2.5 Maintenance-Free Design
NXPLUS C switchgear is maintenance-free for life due to the following features:

 No repair and maintenance cycles required
 Hermetically welded stainless-steel enclosure, with maintenance-free vacuum
switching technology and maintenance-free three-position switches
 Maintenance-free operating mechanisms for circuit-breakers and three-position
switches
 Consistent implementation of full switchgear insulation down to the panel
connection by means of cable plug-in systems
 No need to check the gas quantity and quality due to the welded stainless-steel
enclosures

Revision:
2.6 Ergonomic Design
The switchgear stands out for a user-friendly and functional industrial design. All switching
devices are operated from the switchgear front. Control elements and indicators are located
at an ergonomic height and are optimally integrated in the overall design.
2.7 Installation Friendliness
