Switchgear and Substations

3.1 High-Voltage Substations

Instructions Detailed instruction manuals on the installation, operation and maintenance of the equipment are supplied with all equipment delivered by Siemens. Scope of supply Siemens supplies the following items for all GIS types and interfaces as specied: The switchgear bay, including circuit-breakers, disconnectors and earthing switches, instrument transformers and busbar housings, as specied. For the different feeder types, the following limits apply: Overhead-line feeder: The connecting stud at the SF6-to-air bushing is supplied without the line clamp. Cable feeder: According to IEC 60859, the termination housing, conductor coupling and connecting plate are part of the GIS delivery, while the cable stress cone with the matching ange is part of the cable supply (g. 3.1-45). Transformer feeder: Siemens supplies the connecting ange at the switchgear bay and the connecting bus ducts to the transformer, including any expansion joints. The SF6-to-oil bushings plus terminal enclosures are part of the transformer delivery unless otherwise agreed (g. 3.1-47, g. 3.1-48). Note: This point always requires close coordination between the switchgear manufacturer and the transformer supplier. Each feeder bay is equipped with earthing pads. The local earthing network and the connections to the switchgear are included in the installation contractors scope. Initial SF6 gas lling for the entire switchgear supplied by Siemens is included. Siemens will also supply all gas interconnections from the switchgear bay to the integral gas service and monitoring panel. Terminals and circuit protection for auxiliary drives and control power are provided with the equipment. Feeder circuits and cables as well as the pertaining installation material will be supplied by the installation contractor. The local control, monitoring and interlocking panels are supplied for each circuit-breaker bay to form completely operational systems. Terminals for remote monitoring and control are also provided. Siemens will supply the above-ground mechanical support structures; embedded steel and foundation work are part of the installation contractors scope.

Fig. 3.1-45: Cable termination module: Cable termination modules conforming to IEC are available for connecting the switchgear to high-voltage cables. The standardized construction of these modules allows connection of various cross-sections and insulation types. Parallel cable connections for higher rated currents are also possible with the same module.
