Modular Switchgear andControlgear SystemFULLY INSULATED & ARC PROOFTHE ULTIMATE IN SAFETY &RELIABILITYLOW VOLTAGE SWITCHGEAR AND CONTROL GEAR ASSEMBLIES
INTRODUCTIONThe PI INSULSAFE brings a new level of safetyand reliability to low voltage motor control andpower distribution.Total insulation eliminates the risk of busbararcing faults and protects against accidentalcontact with live parts.The insertion and removal of plug-in motorstarters and feeders can be carried out safelywith the busbars energised. Even changes inconfiguration can be completed safely withoutthe need to shut down.The PI INSULSAFE is fully insulated and arcproof, making it ideal for applications wherecontinuity of service is of critical importance andsafety is paramount.
BUSBAR SYSTEMThe standard horizontal busbar system is ratedat 1400, 2400 or 3000 Amps. Heavy dutybusbars rated at 4000 Amps are available tospecial order. Neutral bars are either half sizeor full size, depending on specification.Dropper busbars are rated at 630 Amps forstandard flat bar and 1000 Amps for heavyduty “L” shaped bar, with higher ratingsavailable to special order. Dropper neutral barsare generally full size.All dropper busbars have a short-circuit strengthof at least 80kA RMS with 176kA peak.BUSBAR INSULATIONVertical phase and neutral busbars areindividually enclosed in a molded supportstructure made from glass reinforced nylon.Horizontal phase and neutral busbars areindividually enclosed in phase coloured,molded nylon covers and phase colouredextruded polycarbonate.The insulation completely surrounds thelive conductors and alone is capable ofwithstanding the dielectric test voltage ofthe assembly. This insulation is in addition toclearances in air and other insulating media.All insulating material is fire retardant and selfextinguishing.SHORT CIRCUIT STRENGTHIcwIpkTest ReportMAIN BUSBAR 1400 A80 kA, 1 sec176 kATCA 102247MAIN BUSBAR 2400 A80 kA, 3 sec176 kATCA 102247MAIN BUSBAR 3000 A80 kA, 3 sec176 kATCA 102247MAIN BUSBAR 4000 A80 kA, 3 sec176 kATCA 102740MAIN BUSBAR 1400 A100 kA, 1 sec220 kATCA 102742MAIN BUSBAR 2400 A100 kA, 3 sec220 kATCA 102742MAIN BUSBAR 3000 A100 kA, 3 sec220 kATCA 102742MAIN BUSBAR 4000 A100 kA, 3 sec220 kATCA 102740DROPPERS 630 A80 kA, 0.2 sec176 kATCA 102740DROPPERS 1000 A80 kA, 1 sec176 kATCA 102740
STRUCTURE & FINISHThe PI INSULSAFE is constructed fromstandardised sheetmetal components to form astrong, uniform line-up suitable for low voltagemotor control and power distribution.All structural parts, including doors and coversare manufactured from 2mm steel.Base plinths are made from 3mm steel.Interconnecting structural components arelocated with a dimple on dimple arrangementto add strength and ensure a perfect fit. Doorsand covers are folded with a double return on alledges for extra strength and rigidity.Sheetmetal components are powder coated toa DFT of approximately 80 microns.Colours are as follows:Base plinthBlackStructural frameMetallic CharcoalInternal partsWhiteDoors and coversClient’s choice (depending on availability)MODULAR DESIGNThe PI INSULSAFE is a fully modular system which allows customised switchboards and motorcontrol centres to be manufactured quickly and cost effectively using standard components. Thesame basic structure and standard components can be configured to accommodate an endlessvariety of equipment, such as: Motor starters Feeders VVVF drives Programmable logic control Control marshalling SCADA equipment 1000V mining switchgear & control gear
ARC FAULT CONTAINMENTA representative selection of functional units has been tested to AS/NZS 3439.1 2002 Annex ZD atvarious prospective fault levels up to 100 kA. More than twenty tests were performed and in everycase, the forces were successfully controlled and contained.Functional UnitIcpTest ReportSchneider 11kW DOL50 kATCA 102741Schneider 37kW DOL50 kATCA 102741Schneider 55kW DOL50 kATCA 102741Schneider 110kW DOL50 kATCA 102741Schneider 11kW DOL100 kATCA 102741Schneider 37kW DOL100 kATCA 102741Schneider 55kW DOL100 kATCA 102741Schneider 110kW DOL100 kATCA 102741Schneider 250A FDR65 kATCA 102741Schneider 400A FDR65 kATCA 102741NHP 11kW DOL65 kATCA 102741NHP 37kW DOL65 kATCA 102741NHP 55kW DOL65 kATCA 102741NHP 110kW DOL65 kATCA 102741NHP 11kW DOL100 kATCA 102741NHP 37kW DOL100 kATCA 102741NHP 55kW DOL100 kATCA 102741NHP 110kW DOL100 kATCA 102741TERASAKI 250A FDR80 kATCA 102741TERASAKI 400A FDR80 kATCA 102741FLEXIBILITYToday’s fast-track projects sometimes require changes to the motor control centre or switchboardlayout during the late stages of manufacture, or even on site during commissioning. Quick andeasy reconfiguration is delivered by the PI INSULSAFE through its completely modular design withinterchangeable components. Even while in service, simple reconfigurations can be done in completesafety.The PI INSULSAFE has been designed to accept virtually any type of low voltage switchgear andcontrol gear, including intelligent motor control systems, so client equipment preferences can easilybe accommodated.
ECONOMYThe relatively small number of parts, ease of assembly and compact size, makes the PI INSULSAFEextremely cost effective in applications where safety, continuity of service and quality are majorconsiderations.COMPACTThe PI INSULSAFE has the smallest footprint ofany MCC available in Australia.A double sided (back to back) motor controlcentre is just 650mm deep. It can accommodateup to 60 x form 4 starters per square metre offloor area, while maintaining generous cableaccess and termination space.Cable access is top, bottom or both.Full height cable zones are 300mm wide. Extrawide cable zones are available as an option.Generous cross wiring spaces are provided attop and bottom, front and rear.
