important:
the solutions proposed in this document are for general use.
They are a direct application of the MV protection guide ref.: CG0021X
(binder C, chapter 1, topic 3).
These elements are to be used as a basic solution for tenders. They could
be also adapted to specific requirements of customer specifications.
Sepam 2000 can be use without remote transmission.

Remarks:
MV motor feeder with Sepam 1000: undervoltage protection (27) load shedding is not
installed as standard on each MV motor feeder; it does not exist at present for the Sepam 1000
motor (refer to MV motor protection guide, chapter C-2-3 a)2.9 and documentation Sepam
range ref. AC0401/1E page 13 of the 07/94). In this case, the protection (27) is installed in
the bus section; a Sepam 1000 busbar per half busbar BB1 and BB2. The information
load shedding by undervoltage (27) is sent by LV circuits to each MV motor feeder equipped
with a Sepam 1000.
MV motor feeder with Sepam 2000: undervoltage protection (27) load shedding is installed
as standard on each MV motor feeder (refer to MV motor protection guide, chapter C-2-3 a)2.9).
intercubicle locking and source transfer: intercubicle locking between the incomers and
bus section is of type 2 on 3, with no possibility of incomer parallel connection. If you wish for
automatic source and/or busbar earth leakage transfer (87B), refer to MT partenaire, binder
C, chapter C-2-3 a)2.14 entitled additional information on specific protection devices.

Metal-enclosed switchgear and controlgear in which components are arranged in separate
compartments as for metal-clad switchgear and controlgear, but with one or more non-metallic
partitions (IEC 298).

*Important: the single-wire representation of a DM2 cubicle is different from the one proposed
in these pages (refer to the SM6 range documentation, reference AC0356/1E).
