Model III Package Substations Section 1Introduction

SECTION 1INTRODUCTION

The package substation is made up of three sections: the incoming line section, the transformer section, and the low voltage distribution section. The incoming line section is a type HVL or HVL/cc switch, or an air terminal chamber. The transformer section is an open-ventilated, dry-type transformer, and the low voltage distribution section is I-LINE molded case circuit breakers or separately mounted molded case main circuit breaker. Each substation has its own specification and unique construction features. These features are detailed in the substation outline and nameplate drawings. This instruction bulletin is not an application guide for the package substation or a substitute for adequate training in safe working procedures for this and related electrical equipment. Installation of this electrical equipment may require special licenses or training. Consult applicable national, industry, and local codes for specific requirements. The successful operation of any substation depends on various factors, such as installation, loading, service conditions, and maintenance. The substation should be installed in conditions as specified in ANSI/IEEE Section C57.12.01 Usual Service Conditions, unless the transformer is designed specifically for operation in conditions other than the usual service conditions. NOTE: If additional information is needed that is not covered by this instruction bulletin, contact your Schneider Electric field sales representative, or Square D Services at 1-800-634-2003.

SECTION 2SAFETY PRECAUTIONS


ENGLISH
6

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe electrical work practices. See NFPA 70E. Read and understand this entire instruction bulletin before installing, operating, or maintaining a package substation. Follow all applicable local and national codes. Only qualified electrical workers with training and expertise on high voltage circuits should perform work described in this set of instructions. These workers must understand the hazards involved in working with or near high voltage equipment. Such work should be performed only after reading this complete set of instructions. Use only electrically insulated tools, clothing, and protective gear when working around electrical equipment. The successful operation of substations depends upon proper handling, installation, operation, and maintenance. Neglecting fundamental installation and maintenance requirements will lead to personal injury, as well as damage to electrical equipment or other property. HVL or HVL/cc switches have features designed to promote proper operation, but it is not possible to eliminate every hazard with these features. Therefore, the person using this device is responsible for recognizing the potential hazards, for wearing protective safety equipment, and for taking adequate safety precautions. Do not make any adjustment to the equipment or operate the system with safety features removed. Contact your local Schneider Electric representative for additional instructions if the HVL or HVL/cc switch does not function as described in this manual. Before performing visual inspections, tests, or maintenance on this equipment, disconnect all sources of electric power. Assume that all circuits are live until they have ben completely de-energized, tested, grounded, and tagged. Pay particular attention to the design of the power system. Consider all sources of power, including the possibility of backfeed. Always assume that terminal is energized unless it is checked with a properly rated meter to ensure the terminal is de-energized and grounded. Before servicing the transformer, ensure all static charge has been discharged by grounding the coils with an appropriate grounding device. If circuit breaker settings are adjusted, do not set the long time trip rating at a higher ampacity than the rating of the bus bar or load cables it supplies. Before energizing the substation, all unused I-LINE circuit breaker mounting spaces must be filled with blank fillers and/or extensions. Before replacing covers or closing doors, carefully inspect the bus work area for tools and objects left inside the equipment. Use care while removing or installing panels so that they do not extend into bus. Before making any electrical connection, take every precaution to see that all connections are de-energized and grounded. Introducing foreign objects into this equipment can cause a short circuit, which can result in severe damage, personal injury, or death. Short circuits can release large amounts of energy due to a rapid expansion of super-heated, ionized gases. Products of this instantaneous expansion can quickly engulf and burn personnel before preventive action can be taken. This short circuit source can cause additional injuries by propelling personnel or objects several feet from the equipment. Some foreign objects that can cause short circuits are tools, test leads, instruments not designed for high voltage circuits, wire, and other conduction or semi-conducting materials. Workers must also be careful to keep clothing and body parts out of the equipment. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Model III Package Substations Section 3Receiving, Handling, and Storage

Initial Inspection

Before unloading the substation, perform the following inspection: 1. Remove the protective covering. 2. If the substation is provided with an HVL or HVL/cc switch, the substation is split for shipment. Review the shipping papers to ensure that the order and shipment is complete. 3. Inspect the substation for any obvious external damage that may have occurred during shipment. An internal inspection of the enclosure is not usually required unless possible external damage has been observed. If an internal inspection is required, carefully inspect the leads, bolted mechanical and electrical joints, the transformer core and coils, and accessory equipment, such as fans, controls, heater strips, control power transformers, or current transformers. List any noticeable damage on the receiving papers, file a claim with the carrier at once, and notify Schneider Electric. 4. After completing all of the above steps and if no problems are found, off load the substation. Refer to Handling on page 8. Figure 2: Typical Nameplate

Figure 3:

Typical Base

Follow these safety measures when handling the substation:

DANGER
TOP HEAVY LOAD Use a crane to unload the transformer. DO NOT UNLOAD using a forklift. The substation is top heavy and may become unbalanced. Keep all unnecessary personnel away while handling and moving the transformer. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury. A crane is required to unload the substation. The approximate weight of the substation is shown on the transformer nameplate. The HVL or HVL/cc switch is provided with four lifting eyes on the top of the enclosure for lifting of the switch only. DO NOT attempt to lift the complete substation with these eyes.

Using a Spreader Bar

Spreader bar Protect paint from damage by slings

Substation Enclosure Sling Sling

Clevis pins (not provided)

2. Ensure the spreader bar is wider than the enclosure and protect the paint from the slings. 3. Lift the transformer and LV section from the base by the side holes provided; never lift from the ends. Always handle the substation in the normal, upright position. Do not tilt the substation. Towing and Moving After the substation has been off-loaded, a crane is preferred to move the transformer and LV section into position. When a crane cannot be used, the transformer and LV section can be skidded or moved on rollers. When doing so, take extra care not to damage the transformer. The HVL or HVL/cc switch may be moved with a forklift. If the substation must be stored, it is preferable to locate it in its permanent location on a concrete pad. If a level concrete surface is not available, take precautions to keep the unit from contacting an earthen surface. Protect the substation and connection points from the environment. Store Indoors Only. To reduce condensation and avoid moisture absorption in the transformer section while it is being stored, immediately install space heaters, incandescent lamps, or other small electric heaters. See Drying the Core and Coil Assembly on page 17 for more information. For storage of other equipment, refer to the applicable instruction bulletin(s) listed in Section 13Reference Publications on page 28 If the substation is stored for an extended time, make periodic inspections of the substation exterior and interior for corrosion or other possible damage. Always make an internal inspection before the substation is placed in service. If you have any concerns, contact Schneider Electric.

SECTION 4INSTALLATION
ENGLISH

NOTE: Complete startup services are available from Square D Services. They can provide assistance in a variety of areas, from installation to comprehensive testing and verification of the new equipment. Contact Square D Services at 1-800-634-2003, 24-hours a day. Follow all local and national codes when locating the substation. Make sure the ventilated openings, on the top and bottom of the enclosure, are clear. Consult local and national codes to ensure all applicable requirements are satisfied. If the substation is located near combustible materials, make sure the location meets or exceeds the minimum clearances as required by the National Electric Code (NEC) or other applicable local codes. Locate the substation on a level foundation strong enough to support the weight of the substation, preferably of reinforced concrete. Schneider Electric recommends that you do not place the substation directly on an earthen surface. Ensure the foundation has adequate drainage. Seismic regulations may require that the substation be anchored to the pad.

Substation Location

Restricting Access to the Substation

Install the substation in an area that is secure and that allows only authorized personnel access to the substation.

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH The transformer is not tamper proof, therefore restrict access to it. Allow only authorized personnel access to the transformer. Failure to follow this instruction will result in death or serious injury.

Electrical Connections

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH Do not touch the windings of an energized transformer. Failure to follow this instruction will result in death or serious injury. The substation has both high voltage (HV) and low voltage (LV) connections. Multiple tap positions are available on the HV winding of the transformer to allow for adjustments, which may be necessary because of the specific supply voltage or transformer load characteristics. If tap adjustments are necessary, see Changing Tap Positions to Adjust Voltage on page 20. Connection points are clearly labeled on the transformer. Refer to the nameplate and wiring diagram to make the electrical connections. Follow these guidelines when making connections: 1. Clean the contact areas of the terminals (if applicable). 2. Use leads that are long enough to avoid mechanical strain caused by expansion and contraction. Strain can cause loose connections over time. 3. Using a torque wrench, ensure all bolted connections are torqued to the values given on the substation labels and in this bulletin. Refer to the tables on page 11 for torque information.

High Voltage Electrical Connections

Cable terminals for connecting incoming cables are located on the top of the HVL enclosure. Cable terminals for connecting incoming cables are located on the top or bottom of the HVL/cc enclosure. Install cable stress relief terminator kits on each high voltage cable (when shielded cable is used) before connecting to the HVL or HVL/cc switch. If an HVL or HVL/cc switch was provided, the transformer leads must be bolted to the terminals below the switch, or below the fuses, if provided. Refer to page 11 for torque information. If an HVL or HVL/cc switch was not provided, the transformer high voltage terminations are located in an air terminal chamber. Connection points are clearly labeled. Refer to the transformer nameplate and wiring diagram before making connections. Install cable stress relief terminator kits on each high voltage cable (when shielded cable is used) before connecting to the transformer terminals. Refer to page 11 for torque information.

ENGLISH
Conduit Area Cable Pulling Cable Terminations
12

1. Locate and terminate all conduit in the substation enclosure in the available conduit area designated on the equipment drawing. 2. Install the conduit properly. Use hubs and ring connectors to protect the cables and to prevent condensation on the conduit from entering the substation. NOTE: If top entry, do not use the top of the substation to support the weight of the conduit. Support the conduit independently. Under seismic conditions, the top of the substation can move as much as 3 inches (76 mm) in any direction. Any top incoming cables must accommodate this motion. 3. Bond all conduit, stubs, and ring connectors to the substation enclosure with approved electrical connections. 1. Use only cable sizes suitable for a proper fit with the corresponding lugs. 2. Pull the proper number of line-side and load-side cables according to the load served and the NEC. 3. Position the cables inside the substation so that they are not subject to physical damage. 4. Maintain the maximum possible bending radii and proper clearance to bus bars and grounded parts. If any cables are lying or bearing on structural members, support them to relieve this condition or place suitable protective material at the bearing point to protect the cable insulation. 5. Where cables enter or leave the substation or pass through any metal that has magnetic properties, be certain to run all phase conductors, including the neutral, through the same opening. Otherwise, overheating can result. See section 300-20(a) of NEC. 6. When instructed, brace or cable lace the conductors. 1. Strip a length of insulation from the end of the cable sufficient to fit into the full length of the lug barrel, being careful not to nick or ring the strands. Use a proper insulation stripping tool. 2. Thoroughly clean aluminum cable contact surfaces with a wire brush or scrub them with an abrasive cloth to remove oxides and foreign matter. 3. Immediately apply an acceptable joint compound to the bare aluminum surfaces.

a. Insert the cable into the lug barrel and, using the crimping tool, make the specified number of crimps per the manufacturers recommendations. b. Wipe excess joint compound from the connector and insulation. c. With the cables connected, remount the lugs onto the bus bars, switches, or circuit breakers. Torque the bolts to the values given in the tables on page 11. 5. Set screw-type lugs may be furnished as main incoming lugs and are standard on molded case circuit breakers and QMB/QMJ fusible switches. Torque these lugs to, but do not exceed, the specified values. Torque values for circuit breaker and switch lugs are marked on these units. Torque values for other lugs are marked on the substation (Table 2 on page 11).

SECTION 5PRE-ENERGIZING PROCEDURE CHECKLIST

Conduct a complete inspection before the substation is energized to ensure that all components function and operate properly. Complete steps 124 before energizing the substation. 1. Check all field-installed bus bar connections. Torque values are listed on page 11. 2. Check all accessible connections for tightness. 3. Check all factory and field-installed lug terminations for tightness. 4. Check the rigidity of all bus bar supports. 5. Check the enclosure for dents or other damage that reduces electrical clearances inside the substation. 6. Remove all foam blocks, or other temporary cushioning or retaining material, from the electrical devices. 7. Manually open and close all switches, circuit breakers, and other operating mechanisms, checking for correct alignment and free operation. 8. Operate all electrically operated switches, circuit breakers, and other devices equipped with remote operators (not under load). An auxiliary source of control power may be necessary to accomplish this. 9. Check all relays, meters, and instrumentation to verify that all field installed wiring connections are made properly and that the devices function properly. 10. Current transformers (CTs) supplied for customer use require connection to a metering device load before energizing. Verify that the metering device load is properly connected, including main substation connections to remote equipment. 11. All CT circuits supplied by Schneider Electric for metering use are shorted for shipment. Remove shorting terminal screws on shorting terminal blocks or jumpers and store in the block.

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH Only qualified personnel should perform these tests. Disconnect ALL high voltage, low voltage, and neutral connections. Disconnect auxiliary equipment, such as lightning arresters, the fan and temperature control system, meters, or any other low voltage control system that is connected to the transformer windings that are involved in these tests. DO NOT disconnect the ground connection to the transformer frame. Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Pre-energizing Testing

Before energizing the transformer and placing it in service, Schneider Electric recommends that the following tests be performed:

Insulation Resistance: Measures the resistance of the insulation between the primary and secondary windings and from each winding to ground. Turns Ratio: Measures the ratio of the primary to secondary turns to check for possible insulation degradation in the windings.

Drying the Core and Coil Assembly

CAUTION
FIRE HAZARD Do not exceed 100 C air temperature. Do not allow the lamps or heaters to contact the transformer coil insulation. Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage. The transformer MUST be kept dry during storage. Use lamps or heaters to keep the surface dry and the core and coil from absorbing moisture. Place the lamps or heaters a minimum of 4 to 6 inches (102 to 152 mm) away from the transformer coils. Good ventilation is essential.

Drying Transformer Coils

CAUTION
FIRE HAZARD Constant attendance during the drying process is recommended. Have a suitable fire extinguisher on hand for use in the event of an emergency. Failure to follow this instruction can result in injury or equipment damage.

SECTION 8STARTUP TESTING TO ENERGIZE

NOTE: Complete startup services are available from Square D Services. They can provide assistance in a variety of areas, from installation to comprehensive testing and verification of the new equipment. Contact Square D Services at 1-800-634-2003, 24-hours a day.

Model III Package Substations Section 8Startup Testing to Energize

43500-054-30R1 02/2004

The transformer core and coils MUST be dry before the transformer can be tested and energized. If the transformer has more than surface moisture present, more extensive drying may be required to ensure that the core and coils are dry. To dry the transformer, apply external heat to the transformer using the heater or lamp method described above. Drying time depends on the condition of the transformer, size, voltage, amount of moisture absorbed, and method of drying. Measuring insulation resistance is valuable in determining the drying status.

ENGLISH
Heaters and Lamps for Drying Insulation Resistance Testing Turns Ratio Test Effects of Humidity
18

Heaters: Blow the heated air from space heaters or other small heaters into the bottom grills of the transformer enclosure and through the winding ducts, not around the core sides. Lamps: Use six 150 watt lamps. Place two lamps under each coilone on each side of the core. Before performing the insulation resistance test, use a vacuum cleaner to clean the core and coil assembly. When measured in accordance with ANSI/IEEE Standard C57.94, the minimum insulation resistance should be as listed in Table 5: Table 5: Insulation Resistance Values
Insulation Resistance (M)
600 1000 1500 2000 3000

Winding kV Class
1.2 2.5 5.0 8.7 15.0

Perform the turns ratio test at each tap position and for the full winding: 1. Use a Transformer Turns Ratio (TTR) to measure the ratio between the primary and secondary windings. 2. Compare these measurements to the transformer nameplate voltage ratio. The measurements should be within 1/2 of 1% of the nameplate voltage ratio. Refer to ANSI C57.12.91 for additional information. When the transformer is energized, humidity is relatively unimportant. However, if the transformer is de-energized and allowed to cool to ambient temperature, high humidity may affect transformer start up and operation. If the shutdown occurs during low humidity, the transformer can be energized following normal startup procedures. No special precautions are necessary. If the transformer is shut down for longer than 24 hours during high humidity, then precautions are required, particularly if condensation occurs within the enclosure. After de-energizing the transformer, place space heaters below the core and coils to keep the transformer temperature a few degrees centigrade above that of the surrounding air. If heaters are not used, inspect the transformer for visible moisture and measure the insulation resistance. (See Drying Transformer Coils on page 17.) If moisture is present or if the insulation resistance is low, dry the transformer using one of the methods described in Drying the Core and Coil Assembly on page 17.

Changing Tap Positions to Adjust Voltage

DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH Before performing this procedure, review Section 2 Safety Precautions on page 6. Do not change the tap connections when the transformer is energized. Disconnect all power and verify the transformer is de-energized before servicing the transformer. Use a properly rated meter to measure for the presence of voltage at the terminal and to verify the transformer is de-energized. Do not rely on visual indications, such as switch position or fuse removal for determining a de-energized condition. Ensure no paths are present for backfeeding power to the transformer (such as through a tie-breaker). Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury. To change the tap position: 1. De-energize the transformer following the safety messages above and your companys lock-out/tag-out procedures. 2. Locate the transformer taps above the coils of the transformer. They can be accessed by removing the rear access panel on the back of the low voltage distribution section. 3. Use an appropriate grounding device to ground the coils and discharge any static charge. 4. Locate the tap jumpers. 5. Change the tap jumpers on each phase to the appropriate tap connection. The tap jumpers must be on the same tap position for each phase. 6. Torque the tap connections. Refer to the torque values on page 11. NOTE: For multiple voltages or other special arrangements, see the transformer nameplate. 7. Inspect the enclosure to ensure all hand tools, equipment, or any other foreign materials are removed from the enclosure. 8. Re-install the rear access panel. 9. Energize the transformer.

ENGLISH

Sound Level

All transformers have an inherent sound level that varies with the size of the units. The fundamental frequency is twice that of the applied voltage. Sound waves may be amplified by means of reflected waves and/or radiated waves via walls, floors, ceilings, mechanical vibrations of air ducts, conduits, and mounting bases. For average expected sound levels, refer to NEMA ST-20. To meet NEMA listed average sound levels, each unit should be installed in a location where there is a 10-foot clearance on all sides except floor or ground. Units located in close proximity to hard surfaces may produce higher than average sound levels. When transformers must be located in noise sensitive areas, precautions should be taken to avoid amplification of the transformer sound. Install the unit in an area where the noise will be least objectionable. Avoid rooms where hard surfaces are in close proximity to the transformer.
