چکیده

RO-15 This paper focuses on medium voltage switchgear in withdrawable execution, compared to medium voltage switchgear in fixed execution. Looking at the benefits and disadvantages of both executions, and the function the switchgear has to fulfill. Elaborating both executions, investigating accidents and near accidents; analyzing the causes, and studying the possibility of unsafe operation. Giving a clear picture on the total cost of ownership, including the reliability, availability and peripheral influences, such as; cable connection, switchroom size and process control connection. Also looking at operator friendliness, how easy is it to work with the switchgear, how complicated the switching procedure is, and also looking at how complicated conducting maintenance inspections, or maintenance measurement is. The aim of this paper is to provide a clear guideline as to which type of execution is favourable, in a specific situation, taking into account the newest technologies in switchgear and network architecture. After a short introduction to medium voltage switchgear and their applications, the first part of this paper will describe the main aspects, like safety, reliability and cost, of both withdrawable and fixed executions. Followed by chapters that explain the different aspects, to be considered when purchasing a switchgear. Additionally the situations of usages is highlighted. Followed by a chapter that compares fixed and withdrawable medium voltage switchgear. The paper finishes with a hint how to choose between fixed or withdrawable medium voltage switchgear. Index Terms — Fixed medium voltage switchgear or Withdrawable medium voltage switchgear.

Dielectric Properties of Gases Suitable for Secondary Medium Voltage Switchgear

SF6 is the dominating technology for gas insulated switchgear due to its excellent dielectric, thermal and arc quenching properties. Unfortunately, SF6 suffers from a very high global warming potential (GWP). Even though medium voltage switchgear is sealed for life with less than 0.1% emissions per year, the EU has specifically targeted SF6 for replacement in medium voltage switchgear for secon...

Design of a New Built-in UHF Multi-Frequency Antenna Sensor for Partial Discharge Detection in High-Voltage Switchgears

In this study a new built-in ultrahigh frequency (UHF) antenna sensor was designed and applied in a high-voltage switchgear for partial discharge (PD) detection. The casing of the switchgear was initially used as the ground plane of the antenna sensor, which integrated the sensor into the high-voltage switchgear. The Koch snowflake patch was adopted as the radiation patch of the antenna to over...

Design of Distributed Temperature Measurement System for Switchgear

This paper develops a novel distributed temperature measurement system based on DSP and DS18B20 digital thermometer. The real-time temperature of each node in the switchgear is obtained by several DS18B20s which are connected on the 1-wire bus together. RS-485 master-slave communication protocol is used to centralize monitoring temperatures of several switchgear cabinets. The system also has th...
