Overview SWB design requirements:
protection is necessary to prevent personnel hazards and also equipment hazards and possible fires.
to present no danger of electric shock or injury to personnel in vicinity during normal or abnormal operation.
Explosions in switchboards are a not infrequent occurrence which can cause significant injury to personnel.
In many cases, work is performed on switchboard components while they are still live.

Parts of a switchboard
Internal busbars
Rigid copper (or aluminium) bars (insulated or uninsulated) in large SWBs or simply insulated single phase cables in small SWBs.
Bare LV busbars are close together and are subject to high forces on short circuit. This and resonant force effect must be considered in determining supports.
![Page 18: Bow Bowing Substation - University of New South …...Parts of a switchboard Circuit breakers HV or LV depending on switchboard voltage level. HV C/B types are oil, SF6 and vacuum](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042115/5e9253281262e5215000c7c8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Parts of a switchboard Main isolating switch or section switches
These allow segregation of switchboard or its component parts to allow maintenance work on SWB.
![Page 19: Bow Bowing Substation - University of New South …...Parts of a switchboard Circuit breakers HV or LV depending on switchboard voltage level. HV C/B types are oil, SF6 and vacuum](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042115/5e9253281262e5215000c7c8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Parts of a switchboard
Circuit breakersHV or LV depending on switchboard voltage level.
HV C/B types are oil, SF6 and vacuum units, contained in withdrawable rack-mounted carriers. Oil C/Bs no longer used in new installations.
LV/MV (<1000 V) C/Bs are air-break type. Large MV CB units may be also rack-mounted but modern SWB will have moulded-case circuit breakers (MCCBs) for higher current ratings (> 100 A) and miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) for lower rating (< 100 A). MCBs normally used in smaller sub-main and local SWBs in a building.

Moulded case LV circuit breakers of varying ratings
e.g. Eaton Cutler-Hammer series G: ratings up to 2500A with interrupting capacities up to 200kA at 240V.
![Page 22: Bow Bowing Substation - University of New South …...Parts of a switchboard Circuit breakers HV or LV depending on switchboard voltage level. HV C/B types are oil, SF6 and vacuum](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042115/5e9253281262e5215000c7c8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Parts of a switchboard
HRC fuses and CFS units
These are also used in MV and LV switchboards for high level fault protection and, in many cases, there are combinations of HRC (high rupturing capacity) fuses and overload switches with limited interrupting capacity used (combined fuse-switch or CFS units) because of their economy.
![Page 23: Bow Bowing Substation - University of New South …...Parts of a switchboard Circuit breakers HV or LV depending on switchboard voltage level. HV C/B types are oil, SF6 and vacuum](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042115/5e9253281262e5215000c7c8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Fuse breaking capacity:
Is maximum current that can safely be interrupted by the fuse,
Is potential maximum current the fuse can withstand without shattering.
Generally should be higher than maximum prospective short circuit current.
There are two types of fuses: High Blow Current (HBC) Low Blow Current (LBC)
![Page 24: Bow Bowing Substation - University of New South …...Parts of a switchboard Circuit breakers HV or LV depending on switchboard voltage level. HV C/B types are oil, SF6 and vacuum](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042115/5e9253281262e5215000c7c8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
High Blow Current (HBC) HBC fuses (or HRC High Rupture Current) are generally defined as being able
to withstand more than 10 times their rated current without shattering.
Some low-voltage current-limiting HRC fuses rated for 300kA.
Fuses for high-voltage equipment, up to 115kV, are rated by the total apparent power (megavolt-amperes, MVA) of the fault level on circuit.
They typically have a ceramic body and are filled with sand.
HBC fuses are designated "H".
![Page 25: Bow Bowing Substation - University of New South …...Parts of a switchboard Circuit breakers HV or LV depending on switchboard voltage level. HV C/B types are oil, SF6 and vacuum](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042115/5e9253281262e5215000c7c8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Low Blow Current (LBC) LBC fuses on the other hand are designed for situations where maximum fault
current is likely to be less than 10 times the rated fuse current. Fuses for small low-voltage wiring systems are commonly rated to interrupt
10kA. They typically have a glass body in which fuse wire can clearly be seen, making
it very easy to see if the fuse has blown. LBC fuses are designated "L”
![Page 26: Bow Bowing Substation - University of New South …...Parts of a switchboard Circuit breakers HV or LV depending on switchboard voltage level. HV C/B types are oil, SF6 and vacuum](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042115/5e9253281262e5215000c7c8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Parts of a switchboard
Protection relays
Used for higher voltages, together with associated instrument transformers [current transformers (CTs) and voltage transformers (VTs)].
Overcurrent protection units are used to activate timing relays so as to provide proper fault protection operation.
At lower voltages, circuit breakers normally have in-built fault detection sensing, thus no separate relaying is required.

Parts of a switchboard
Metering equipment
The metering of SWB will include:
line and phase voltage, line current in each phase, total power, power factor metering.

Parts of a switchboard
Over-voltage surge protection
Modern switchboards will also have some over-voltage surge protection designed into both HV and LV sides to protect equipment against effects of any over-voltage transients that may be generated within the system or conducted in from external sources.
![Page 30: Bow Bowing Substation - University of New South …...Parts of a switchboard Circuit breakers HV or LV depending on switchboard voltage level. HV C/B types are oil, SF6 and vacuum](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042115/5e9253281262e5215000c7c8/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Arc Fault Containment Arcing: caused by insulation failure such as
ageing, moisture, solid particle contamination, etcDifficult to predict value of arc voltage. Arcing involves significant energy and thus
damage is very destructive Segregation of internal parts limits spreading of
damage IEEE 1584-2002 provides method to calculate
incident energy and arc-flash protection boundaries.

NILSEN designs tested to 100kA (at 440V) prospective and 6.6kV to 18kA prospective
Purpose of specifying internal arcing fault containment is to:
provide a measure of operator protection restrict damage resulting from arc fault to the functional unit involved so that supply can be reinstated with minimum outage
![Page 45: Bow Bowing Substation - University of New South …...Parts of a switchboard Circuit breakers HV or LV depending on switchboard voltage level. HV C/B types are oil, SF6 and vacuum](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042115/5e9253281262e5215000c7c8/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Internal segregation of circuits
SWBs have many internal components, thus
susceptible to faults.
High impedance arcing fault is a major problem.
Segregate chambers will assist in containing faults.

T (terra): direct connection of one point of supply system to earth
I (insulation): all live parts of supply isolated from earth or one point connected to earth through an impedance
1st letter (I or T) gives relationship of supply to earth

T (terra): direct connection of exposed conductive parts to earth, independent of earthing of supply system
N (neutral): direct connection of exposed conductive parts to earthed point of supply (neutral point).
2nd letter (T or N) gives relationship of exposed conductive parts of the general installation to earth
