1.2 DESCRIPTION OF THE CAPITOLE 40
SYSTEM
1.2.1 General
The Capitole 40 system is a low voltage switch and
distribution-system made up of standard sheet steel
cubicles, suitable for both distribution and as a motor
control centre.
The system is designed for a nominal service-voltage of
690 V. (dependent of the build-in components) The
maximum nominal current of the busbar system is 4000 A,
the maximum rated short-time current is 100 kA rms-1s.
(Higer nominal currents are realized by means of a double
busbar system).
The outgoing feeders can be in fixed, removable or entirely
withdrawable versions.
For installations with a Clink motor management system we
refer to the Clink Technical Manual 3991 – 099.
1.2.2 Characteristics of the system
•
Completely compartmented cubicles.
•
Vertical busbar system, completely enclosed by
insulating material (fully withdrawable version )
•
Outgoing feeders in fixed, removable or fully
withdrawable versions.

Some features of the system are:
•
modular design,
•
simple operation and clear lay-out,
•
high degree operational safety and reliability,
•
high short-circuit capacity of the busbar systems,
•
reliable electrical connections through use of torque-
spanners,
•
reliable positive interlocking,
•
extendable both on left and right hand sides,
•
option of using corner cubicles,
•
removable and withdrawable versions offer,
- flexibility in changing the lay-out and connection of
spare feeders under live conditions,
- "self-locating" short-circuit-proof main isolating
contacts,
- impossibility of interchanging draw-out units of the
same size but with different functions (on request),
•
versions for feeder cable entry from bottom as well as
from top,
•
versions for front as well as rear connection.
