FINISH
The enclosure of the switchgear is cleaned, rust proofed and painted in
accordance with Hyundais standard electrostatic powder coating
procedure.
The average thickness of painted finish is 60 microns and above.
Standard finish colours are Munsell no. 7.5BG 7/2 and RAL6018.

CIRCUIT-BREAKER COMPARTMENT
HMS-112 switchgear contains a withdrawable breaker truck incorporating
vacuum circuit breaker HVF.

The following interlocks are provided to ensure proper operation and personnel
safety.
- The withdrawal or engagement of a circuit breaker is impossible unless it is
in the open position.
- The operation of a circuit breaker is impossible unless it is in the service or
test/disconnected position.
- The operation of the earthing switch is impossible unless the associated
breaker truck is in the test/disconnected position or removed from the panel.
(Key interlock is provided to ensure a safety operation.)

CIRCUITBREAKER REMOVED

CIRCUITBREAKER IN THE SERVICE POSITION

HMS-112

HYUNDAI METAL-CLAD SWITCHGEAR

The track-resistant, flame-retardant epoxy polyester insulted contact bushing
completely prevents the propagation of faults from C.B compartment to busbar
compartment or vice versa.
The metal shutters, lockable in the closed position, automatically shield off the
fixed disconnection contacts when the breaker truck is drawn-out.
24 pins plug and socket for auxiliary circuit remain connected in the
test/disconnected position so that the circuit breaker can be tested.

LOW VOLTAGE(LV) COMPARTMENT

LV compartment with a front hinged door accommodates relays, measuring
instruments, switches, terminal block and indicating lamps etc.
Standard control wiring in LV compartment is 2.0mm, 600V graded PVC
insulated wire.
Flame-retardant PVC duct makes the wiring easy and simple.
The interconnections between panels can be made through the opening on the
side plate. The opening is shrouded with grommet to protect the wiring work
from damage.
Each wiring is identified by the wire number marked onto white vinyl tube at the
end of each wire. Ring type lug is provided for wiring.

BUSBAR COMPARTMENT
Busbars braced with partition bushing (polyester) run at the bottom of the
panel.
No moving parts enter in the busbar compartment thus making the busbar
invulnerable. The busbar system can withstand high dynamic and dielectric
strength and can reduce heat dissipation.
In 15kV switchgear, high mechanical and electrical featured insulating busbar
system is provided. The removable insulating cover (boot) is placed over the
joints and secured in place.
In 7.2 and 12kV, a bared busbar system is standard.

PT & EARTHING SWITCH COMPARTMENT

The earthing bar and motor mechanism for earthing switch is provided in
bottom of the compartment for discharging the residual energy when the
breaker truck is in the test/disconnected position.
3 single phase, truck mounted potential transformer with current limiting fuses
on both the primary and sccondary side star connected, both neutral points are
earthed.

HYUNDAI METAL-CLAD SWITCHGEAR

CABLE-CONNECTION COMPARTMENT
Cable-connection compartment is accessible by opening a hinged rear door.
(Bolted removable cover plate also available, on request)
A sufficient space is provided for termination of power cables, as many as six
cables per phase can be connected.
Epoxy resin insulated 3 voltage transformers(V.T) mounted on withdrawable
truck, with high rupturing capacity fuses can be located on the upper/rear part
of the compartment.
Extension guide rail is provided for the maintenance of V.T with the truck halfdrawn out but still in the panel.
3 block type current transformers (C.T) can be mounted per panel, however,
bushing type CTs can be added on the line and load side of contact bushing.
Zero phase current transformer and surge arrester can also be located in the
compartment.
The earthing switch operated from the front of panel has a making capacity so
that can be switched onto live parts. The position indicator is provided in the
front of panel.
