Raised panel position
1) The raised position can be used when cable
raceways cannot be created.
2) This does not obstruct the activities of the
substation.
Surface flatness of the base
1) Pass a 2-meter level over the surface of the base
in all directions to check for flatness and
evenness. The maximum deflection is 5 mm.
2) To prevent the base from being damaged by
equipment on wheels (e.g.: circuit-breakers), the
surface must possess
33 MPa strength or more.
How to fasten the cubicles
The cubicles must be fastened together with the
supplied bolts and screws.
3.5.6 Connecting the main busbars
General warnings and precautions
DANGER
A warning sign is placed on the top plate to
indicate the presence of high voltage under the
roof
CAUTION
It is recommended to mount the busbars starting
from the top of the units
NOTE
Tighten to the correct torque. The torques are
indicated in the “Tightening torques for steel
screws and nuts/bolts” table
NOTE
It is important for the screws to be of the correct
length
The busbar connections are made through the top
openings
a) Clean and scrape the busbar connections.
b) Clean the insulation of the busbar sections with a
soft, dry cloth and check for any insulation
damage.
c) Install the busbars unit by unit. Insert the screws,
busbars and other required components in the
correct positions and tighten them to the correct
torques according to the instructions given
below.
Instructions for different types of main busbar
connections
The main busbars overlap each other at their
contact points. This means that every other busbar
is mounted on top of the other, as shown in Figure
50. Busbar spacers are used in the end units to keep
the busbars in a completely horizontal position.
NOTE
Metallic terminal-covers are installed in the
terminal units for 24 kV
NOTE
Make sure the busbar spacers are positioned as
shown in the figures below
