8 ABB power solutions Dry Type Transformers Dry type transformers are not flammable, they are self-extinguishing and in the event of a breakdown there is no risk of leakage of flammable or contaminating substances. Construction features ABB vacuum cast coil transformers range from 50 kVA up to 30MVA with primary operating voltages up to 36 kV and secondaryoperating voltage up to 6 kV. Customers demand dry type transformers more frequently inorder to minimise environmental contamination and fire hazard.The emission of toxic substances and fumes is minimised. The use of cast resin, combined with our latest manufacturingtechniques allows us to build stronger compact transformerscapable of withstanding severe rolling and vibration. Vacuum cast coil transformers are virtually maintenance free.They do not require any special civil works prior to installation anddue to the particular design they can be repaired on site. ABBvacuum cast coil transformers are manufactured in accordancewith the international quality standard ISO 9001. Vacuum cast coil transformers are moisture-proof, suitable foroperation in humid or heavily polluted environments. They are theideal transformers for operation in environments with a humidityhigher than 75% as well as at temperatures lower than 25°C. Standard features – HV coils vacuum cast in epoxy resin. LV windings pre- impregnated – Casting process utilises high performance filled epoxy– Aluminium windings, copper optional– Step-lap mitered core– 155°C insulation system and 100°C average temperature rise– Four full capacity taps on HV winding rated ± 2 x 2.5% – Provisions for lifting core and coil assembly– Rating plate– Temperature control device– Earthing terminals– Base equipped with bi-directional rollers or designed for skidding Core ABB’s dry type transformers utilise a step-lap mitred coreconstruction to ensure optimum performance and minimumsound levels. The mitred core joint allows efficient flux transferalong natural grain lines between the core legs and yoke. Thestep-lap construction further enhances the efficiency of the jointby reducing joint fringing which reduces corelosses and exciting currents.The core is designed and built to provide the lowest possiblelosses from the effects of magnetic hysteresis and eddy currents.All possible steps are taken to prevent local circulating currentsand to avoid built-in bending stresses.As part of the quality process, ABB uses non-aging highpermeability cold-rolled, grain-orientated silicon steel andconstructs the core with step-lap mitred joints. Magnetic fluxdensities are kept well below the saturation point. The steel isprecision cut to ensure that it will be smooth and burr-free. Forrigidity and support, the upper and lower yokes aresolidly clamped to a sturdy metal frame. The finished core iscoated with a corrosion resistant sealant which provideslamination cohesion and environmental protection.
ABB power solutions 9 Windings ABB’s winding design depends on operating voltage, basicimpulse level and the current capacity of the individual winding.ABB’s Low-Voltage windings, insulation class 1.1 kV are usuallywound with sheet conductors.This construction allows free current distribution within the axialwidth of the coil which eliminates the axial forces developed inother types of windings under short-circuit conditions.During the assembly process, each Low-Voltage winding isblocked radially and axially against the core using a combinationof solid and resilient mounts for sound suppression and thermalexpansion compensation.The ABB winding construction is either round or oval up to 2500kVA. Windings on transformers with ratings greater than 2500kVA are generally round.An experienced and dedicated work force ensures the quality ofits work and the customer’s satisfaction with the product.

12 ABB power solutions Resin-encapsulated Transformers RESIBLOC® transformers with encapsulated windings provide the ultimate mechanical strength to withstand thermal and mechanical stresses from severe climates, cycling loads, and short circuit forces. Construction features The ABB resin-encapsulated dry-type transformer, RESIBLOC®,offers specific advantages. For more than a quarter of a centurywe have been using only epoxy resin and fibre-glass toencapsulate the wire layers. Epoxy resin moulding reinforced withfibre-glass rovings is a material of outstanding strength.Furthermore, we manufacture RESIBLOC® transformers withoutthe addition of extenders or plasticisers. Electronically controlledwinding processes ensure uniform distribution of the glass rovingsand precise tracking. The Low Voltage and High Voltage windings are joined adhesivelyby way of bars to form a compact block winding. The favourableimpulse voltage distribution – resulting from the multilayering ofthe High Voltage winding – in conjunction with the outstandingstrength of the coil makes RESIBLOC® resin-encapsulatedtransformers short-circuit proof.The fibre-glass reinforcement of the resin-encapsulatedRESIBLOC® windings is so robust that we have no hesitation inguaranteeing the crack resistance of the High Voltage coil for theentire life of the transformer.

ABB power solutions 17 Moulded Case Circuit Breakers The moulded-case circuit-breakers, proposed by ABB SACE, derive from the T-Max family series (Top selection at Intel Design 2003 for their technological content and respect of the environment). In particular, Tmax are characterised by an extremely high level ofperformances with limited overall dimensions, installationsimplicity and an increasingly greater guarantee of safety for theoperator thanks to their reinforced insulation. Tmax circuit-breakers can be used for all distribution and sub-distributionapplication for both AC and DC electrical plants. Specific characteristics of Tmax The Tmax series is characterised by being a product with a hightechnological content - the fruit of the most advanced design andsimulation tools with excellent performances in minimum overalldimensions.Thanks to the new technology used for the arcing chambers andthe speed of contact opening, the circuit-breakers of the Tmaxseries guarantee strong limitation of the specific let-throughenergy and reduction in the peak currents, therefore limitingoverheating of the devices and electro-dynamic stresses. Furthermore, the new Tmax circuit-breakers use a completelycommon and standardised range of accessories withconsiderable advantages in terms of reduced stocks as well asflexibility and ease of use. Then within this range there are alsothe new residual current releases up to 500 A. Field of application The moulded-case circuit-breakers are used in industrial and civillow voltage plants with service currents from 1 to 3200 A. Theyare used in direct and alternating current distribution switchgear,for motor protection (Motor Control Center), generators,capacitors and for end users. The ranges The ABB moulded case circuit-breakers are proposed into eightsizes: T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7 and T8. The rated ultimatebreaking capacity under short-circuit, Icu, at 380/415V AC isavailable starting from 16kA up to 200kA. To fulfil the variousapplication requirements, they are available in the followingranges:– Circuit-breakers for AC and DC power distribution– Circuit-breakers for motor protection– Circuit-breakers for applications up to 1000 V AC and DC– Switch-disconnectors For each size, circuit-breakers are available in the three and four-pole versions. They are also equipped with a complete range ofprotection releases: thermomagnetic, magnetic only adjustableand electronic releases of the latest generation. T1, T2, T3, T4,T5 and T6 circuit-breakers fitted with TMD and TMAthermomagnetic releases can also be used in direct currentplants, with a field of application from 1A to 800 A and aminimum operating voltage of 24V DC. Power distribution circuit-breakers The ABB SACE family of moulded case circuit breakers aredivided into different, perfectly integrated, ranges (Tmax T1B 1p,T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6 T7 and T8), able to cover a range ofservice currents from 1 to 3200 A. The power distribution circuitbreakers are available in the fixed, plug-in or withdrawable, three-pole and four-pole versions. The Tmax T1 circuit breaker is alsoavailable in the single pole Tmax T1B 1p version, with breakingcapacities of 25 kA at 220/230 V AC. Interchangeability of the releases The Tmax circuit-breakers can be fitted either withthermomagnetic, magnetic only or electronic releases, which areall interchangeable with each other. In fact, thanks to thesimplicity of their installation, the type of release can be replacedrapidly even by the end user, according to theirrequirements and needs: in this case, correct assembly remainsthe responsibility of the user himself. All this means increasing theflexibility of use of the circuit-breakers, with considerable savingsthanks to the better rationalisation of stock management. Conformity with Standards The moulded-case circuit-breakers and their accessories conformto the IEC 60947-2 international Standards and comply with theEC "Low Voltage Directives (LVD) no. 73/ 23 EEC" and"Electromagnetic compatibility Directives (EMC) no. 89/336 EEC".ABB SACE’s Quality System conforms to the ISO 9001International Standard and to the equivalent European EN ISO9001 and Italian UNI EN ISO 9001 Standards. The certifying Bodyis the Italian Shipping Register (RINA - QUACER): ABB SACE hasreached its third qualificationconfirmation.

20 ABB power solutions RCDs assure a protection to people and installations against fault current to earth. They are divided into three families:– RCCBs , which are sensitive only to earth fault current (therefore they have to be connected in series with a MCB or a fuse toprotect them against overcurrents and short circuits) – RCD-blocks , which are devices to be assembled on an MCB with lower or equal rated current to provide protection againstboth earth-fault currents and overload or shortcircuits – RCBOs , which combines, in a single device, protection against both earth-fault currents and overloads or short-circuits New RCDs System pro M compact range presents a wide offerfor all the three families, respectively F 200 , DDA 200 and DS 200 series. A large offer for standard instantaneous and selective AC and Atypes is completed with some configurations for specialapplications, like AP-R type against perturbations or AE type foremergency stop. Sizes up to 63A with sensitivity thresholds up to 1A are available. Functions and classification criteria for RCDs A residual current operated circuit-breaker is an amperometricprotection device which is tripped when the system leaks asignificant current to earth.This device continuously calculates the vector sum of the single-phase or three-phase system line currents and while the sum isequal to zero allows electricity to be supplied. This supply israpidly interrupted if the sum exceeds a value preset according tothe sensitivity of the device. Residual current operated circuit-breakers can be classedaccording to four parameters:– type of construction– detectable wave form– tripping sensitivity– tripping time Depending on the type of construction, RCDs may be classed as:– RCBOs (magnetothermic with overcurrent protection)– RCCBs (without overcurrent protection releaser incorporated)– RCD blocks RCBOs combine, in a single device, the residual current functionand the overcurrent protection function typical of MCBs. RCBOsare tripped by both current leakage to earth and overloads andshort-circuits and they are self-protecting up to a maximum short-circuit current value indicated on the label. RCCBs are only sensitive to current leakage to earth. They mustbe used in series with an MCB or fuse which protects them fromthe potentially damaging thermal and dynamic stresses of anyovercurrents. These devices are used in systems already equipped with MCBswhich preferably limit the specific energy passing through, alsoacting as the main disconnecting switches upstream of anyderived MCBs (e.g.: domestic consumer unit). RCD blocks are residual current devices suitable for assemblywith a standard MCB. IEC/EN 61009 app. G only allowsassembly of RCBOs once on site, that is to say outside thefactory, using adaptable RCD blocks and the appropriate MCBs.Any subsequent attempts to separate them must leavepermanent visible damage. The residual current operated circuit-breaker obtained in this way maintains both the electricalcharacteristics of the MCB and those of the RCD block. According to the wave form of the earth leakage currents they aresensitive to, the RCDs may be classed as:– AC type (for alternating current only)– A type (for alternating and/or pulsating current with DC components) – B type (for alternating and/or pulsating current with DC components and continuous fault current) AC type RCDs are suitable for all systems where users havesinusoidal earth current. They are not sensitive to impulsive leakage currents up to a peakof 250 A (8/20 wave form) such as those which may occur due tooverlapping voltage impulses on the mains (e.g.: insertion offluorescent bulbs, X-ray equipment, data processing systems andSCR controls). A type RCDs are not sensitive to impulsive currents up to a peakof 250 A (8/20 wave form). They are particularly suitable for protecting systems in which theuser equipment has electronic devices for rectifying the current orphase cutting adjustment of a physical quantity (speedtemperature, light intensity, etc.) supplied directly by the mainswithout the insertion of transformers and insulated in class I (classII is, by definition, free of faults to earth). These devices maygenerate a pulsating fault current with DC components which theA type RCD can recognise. Other modular functions Protective devices Residual current monitors, toroidal transformers, fuseholders,surge protection. Command devices Installation relays, switches, latching relays, push button andindicator lamps, dimmers, time delay and digital timeswitches. Load management devices Light level switches, overload alarms, current/voltage, undervoltage relays and mains disconnecting relays.

26 ABB power solutions Power Factor Correction – Capacitor Units type CLMD Modular Design The CLMD capacitor is a unit that lends itself easily to modularsystems. Dry Type Design – Low Losses The dielectric of the CLMD capacitor is made of dry type low losspolypropylene, a system that offers very low dielectric losses anddoes not give any risk of leakage. Typical losses less than 0.2Watt/KVAr (excluding discharge resistors). Long Life-Self Healing The self-healing properties of the capacitor elements ensure thelong life of the CLMD capacitor. Protection and Safety The CLMD capacitor incorporates the well known vermiculitefilling of ABB’s capacitors, an efficient means of obtaining a safeprotection. Unique Sequential Disconnector A unique Sequential Protection System ensures that eachindividual element can be disconnected from the circuit at the endof its life. Security and Reliability The CLMD capacitor is equipped with discharge resistors and isready for installation. Ease of Installation The two slots allow easy and speedy installation. Description The ABB CLMD capacitors consist of a number of woundelements made with a dielectric of metallised polypropylene film.These dry windings are provided with a Sequential Disconnectorensuring that each element can be reliably and selectivelydisconnected from the circuit at the end of its life. They receive atreatment under a vacuum in order to ensure perfect electricalcharacteristics. Each winding is placed in aplastic case and encapsulated in thermosetting resin in order toobtain a perfectly sealed element. The elements are placed inside a sheet steel box and connectedin such a way as to supply the single or three phase power at therequired voltage and frequency. The sheet steel box is filled with inorganic, inert and fire proofgranules in order to absorb the energy produced in case of apossible defect at the end of an elements life.

ABB power solutions 27 Reduction of Harmonic Distortion There are 2 effective ways to reduce or eliminate harmoniccurrents on an electrical system. These are Passive and ActiveFilters. Passive Filters in their basic form comprise a capacitor connectedin series with a reactor tuned to the frequency to be eliminated. Intheory the impedance of the filter is zero and therefore all of theparticular harmonic current is absorbed by the filter. In practicehowever, the capacitor and reactor are usually tuned slightlybelow the harmonic frequency. This together with the naturalresistance of the circuit means that only a small acceptable levelof harmonic current will flow in the network. When it is necessaryto reduce more than one harmonic a multi arm filter may berequired. Passive filters are used where the system has sufficient inductivekvar to be compensated by the capacitor within the filter andwhere a cost effective solution to reactive power compensationand filtering is required. The principle of Active Filtering is fundamentally different from thatof the passive filter. The passive filter is not controlled and thefiltering is a result of the impedance characteristics of the system.The active filter instead measures the harmonic currents andgenerates actively a harmonic current that was measured. Theoriginal harmonic currents are thereby cancelled. The principle isshown in the diagram.

It is not recommended to have two or morefilters fine tuned to the same busbar system. Slight tuningdifferences may cause one filter to take a much larger share ofthe harmonic distortion, or even cause a harmonic resonancecondition leading to amplification of the very harmonicorder for which the equipment has been designed to reduce.When there is a need to vary the power factor correctioncomponent of a harmonic filter, careful consideration of allparameters is necessary. Active Filters offer considerable flexibility for load expansion orwhere the nature of the load is likely to change. The levels ofharmonic current reduction can be reselected to suit newparameters and with the modular construction used in ABB PQFActive Filters additional power modules can be added to thesystem for more harmonic current elimination. The active filter canbe used for loads that have high power factor and isprogrammable for changing loads. ABB have a wealth ofexperience in designing, manufacturing and supply filter systemsof both passive or active types and hybrid solutions embodyingboth technologies for cost efficient reactive power compensationand reduction of harmonic distortion. Harmonic Analysis To determine capacitor and filter requirements to meet specificharmonic conditions, it is necessary to establish with accuracythe impedance of the supply network and the value of eachharmonic current experienced at the point of intended connectionof any filter or power factor correction capacitor. ABB is theleading manufacturer and supplier of Harmonic Filter Systems atall voltages. Site analysis and scheme design are undertaken onan individual basis to utilise our technical expertise to the bestadvantage of our customer in each case. Information Required In considering the application of power factor correctionequipment where harmonics are evident or suspected, detailedsite information will assist design of the most economic andtechnically acceptable scheme.Such information should always include:– Simplified line diagram of system– Supply Transformer(s) rating and impedance– Summary of system load including– Source of harmonics (AC Drives-DC Drives)– Type of harmonic generating equipment (e.g. 6 pulse)– Details of additional proposed harmonic current generating equipment – Ratings of existing capacitors– Rating of proposed power factor correction capacitors CT PQF

Parts 2, 3,and 4 of the standards deal with the particularrequirements for certain specialised forms of assemblies (seebelow). Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies -439-1: Specification for type-tested and partially type-tested assemblies. -439-2: Particular requirements for busbar trunking systems.-349-3: Particular requirements for assemblies intended to be installed where unskilled persons have access to theiruse. -439-4: Particular requirements for assemblies for construction sites. The need to conform to standards Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear come under the EU LowVoltage Directive, and since January 1st 1997, all new assembliesintended for use within the EU member states must be CE-marked to indicate that they conform with the essential safetyrequirements of this Directive. The Directive requires electrical equipment to be safe andconstructed in accordance with the principles generally acceptedwithin the member states of the EU as constituting goodengineering practice in relation to safety matters. It requires thatthe electrical equipment (assembly), together with itscomponents, is made in a way that ensures it can be safely andproperly assembled and connected. It also requires thatmeasures are taken to ensure that protection is assured againstvarious hazards which might arise from the electrical equipmentor by external influences on it. Some of the hazards listed by the directive include:– Direct and indirect contact with live parts– Dangerous temperatures, arcs or radiation– Overloading– Insulation failures– Mechanical failures– Expected environmental conditions– Non-electrical dangers caused by the assemblyThere is, of course, the proviso that an assembly is used in anapplication for which it was made, and that it is properly installed. Type-Tested Assembly (TTA) IEC 60439-1-1999-09 CLAUSE 2.1.1.1 A low- voltage switchgear and controlgear assembly conformingto anestablished type or system without deviations likely to significantlyinfluence the performance, from the typical assembly verified tobe in accordance with this standard. Notes: For various reasons, for example transport or production, certainsteps of assembly may take place outside the factory of themanufacturer of the TTA. Such an assembly is considered as aTTA provided the assembly is performed in accordance with themanufacturers instructions in such a manner that compliance ofthe established type or system with this standard is assured,including submission to applicable routine test. Partially Type-Tested Low-Voltage Switchgear & Controlgear asembly (PTTA) IEC 60439-1-1999-09 Clause 2.1.1.2 A low- voltage switchgear or controlgear assembly, containingboth typetested and non-type-tested arrangements provided thatthe latter are derived (e.g. by calculation) from type testedarrangements which have complied with the relevant tests.
