2 Introduction

The N-Series remotely controlled and monitored automatic circuit recloser consists of an N-Series automatic circuit recloser (ACR) combined with an Advanced Controller (ADVC).

The N-Series ACR

consists of vacuum interrupters in a sealed, stainless steel tank

the tank is filled with sulphur hexaflouride (SF6) gas

a pressure transducer is used to monitor gas pressure in the tank

surge arresters can be directly fitted to the ACR and should be fitted at installation

voltages are measured on each of the 6 bushings

current is measured on each phase

the ACR itself retains information such as serial number, switchgear type, operations and contact wear, independently of the ADVC

the ACR can be tripped from the ground by a hookstick and then be locked out by opening the isolating switches located on the ADVC.

a clearly visible, external pointer shows whether the ACR is tripped or closed.

The ACR field-fitting kit includes a polymeric bushing boot and predetermined length of 120 mm2,185 mm2, or 240 mm2 aluminium, insulated water-tight cable tail rated at 250A, 400A, 630A for each of the six bushings.

the ACR is connected to the Advanced Controller (ADVC) via a control cable through the base of the ADVC

the ACR can be connected into an insulated or bare conductor system.

The ADVC Controller reads and displays the information which is stored in the ACR and provides protection and communication properties for the ACR. The ADVC Controller

consists of: an electronic switchgear controller that monitors the ACR, and provides communication and protection functions. (CAPE),an operator interface mounted on the CAPE, a power supply which also supplies power for customer equipment, an accessories and customer equipment compartment,

is powered by an auxiliary voltage supply of 110, 220, or 240 volts AC,

is connected to the ACR via a detachable control cable.

The customer compartment provides ample room for equipment. Standard communications cables can be used for connection to the communications ports on the ADVC and power is readily accessible from the programmable power terminal block. (Please refer to 4 Communications and Accessories Installation (page 4-1).)

2: Remove the top of the crate. Inside the top of the crate you will find a timber brace which is fitted around and between the recloser bushings and attached to the side walls of the crate. The brace supports the bushing boots, control cable, accessories kit, and mounting bracket if supplied.

3: Cut each strapping holding the bushing boots, the accessories kit, and the control cable in position. Remove the bushing boots and control cable and put them in a clean, dry place.

4: Unscrew the four wood screws which attach the mounting bracket (if present) to the top timber brace and lift the mounting bracket out of the crate.

5: Unscrew the four wood screws which attach the top timber brace to the side walls of the crate and remove the brace.

6: Remove the cable tails which are bent over the top of the ADVC.

7: Fit D-shackles to the lifting points on the circuit breaker and lift it out of the crate and on to the ground using the crane.

8: Remove the two bolts securing the ADVC to its top and bottom timber braces and lift the unit from the crate.

Ensure that the ADVC is stored indoors until installation on site. If storage outdoors is unavoidable, ensure that the ADVC is kept in an upright position.

take great care not to hit the recloser bushings with the bracket or to drop the bracket, which weighs nearly 30kg (66lb),

back into the crate

the control cubicle weighs approximately 40 kg (88lb)

3 Installation

3-2


control cable connectionWhen installing or testing the ACR it is necessary to connect and disconnect the control cable either from the ACR, the ADVC or both. The control cable is plugged into the base of the ACR and the other end into the ADVC at the bottom, right-most socket on the Control and Protection Enclosure (CAPE).

To do this successfully requires the correct technique:

Power down the control cubicle by switching off all MCBs. This should be done whenever connecting or disconnecting the control cable,

To connect: hold the plug by the long sides, check orientation, gently locate it on the socket and push firmly into place. Check it has locked by wriggling the plug. If the plug cannot be pushed on with moderate force then it has not been located properly. Heavy force is never required.

To disconnect:

Hold the plug by the short sides and grip hard to release the clips inside the plug 1: (not visible).

Wriggle the plug to allow the clips to release. 2:

3: Then pull the plug out.

testinG & confiGurinGThese tests can be carried out on site or in the workshop as preferred.

Unpack the crate as above and put the HV cables, boots and the control cable in a clean safe place where they will not be damaged or soiled. Make a temporary earth connection between the ADVC and the ACR. 1mm2 copper wire is adequate for this purpose.

Raise the ACR using a crane or forklift in order to safely gain access to the bottom of the N-Series ACR. Figure 4 : (page 3-2)

Unbolt the cover plate over the switch cable entry module (SCEM) compartment on the bottom of the ACR and connect the ACR end of the control cable to the SCEM.

Lower the ACR on to props so that the control cable is not damaged by being caught between the base of the ACR and the floor.

Then connect the ADVC end of the cable to the socket at the lower right-hand corner of the CAPE located inside the ADVC cubicle. See site Procedure - step 15 (page 3-5)

The LV auxiliary supply (if applicable) should be connected as shown in Figure 6 : LV Auxiliary Supply Connection (page 3-8)

Turn on the battery and auxiliary supply circuit breakers at the bottom of the control cubicle and carry out the following tests:

Manual trip and close of the ACR.1:

Insulation test the high voltage connections to earth to check for shipping 2: damage on the high voltage side of the ACR.

Never pull the plug out by the cable

Installation (cont)

Configure the protection settings.3:

Perform primary current injection as required.4:

Perform secondary current injection (if required by your Authority) using a Test 5: and Training Set (TTS).

Fit and test a radio or modem if required.6:

7: Attend to the battery using the care instructions given in Battery Care (page 10-5).

It may be desirable at this time to fit the cable tails and surge arresters to the ACR. See Figure 5 : Cable Tail Installation (page 3-7).

transport to siteIf the unpacking and testing was carried out in the workshop then the ACR and ADVC must be transported safely to site. It is important the following steps are carried out:

Turn off all ADVC circuit breakers and disconnect all auxiliary power supplies. Disconnect the control cable from both ACR and ADVC and replace the cover plate on the bottom of the ACR.

Transport the ACR, ADVC and all parts in a safe and secure manner to site.

site installationIf you are replacing a pole-top control cubicle (PTCC) or an original ADVC Controller (Ver 43 or earlier) with an ADVC Controller (Ver 44 or above), the following should be considered:

The ADVC Controllers have different mounting points to the PTCC 1.

The connection to the auxiliary supply enters the cubicle at a different point.

The earth stud is in a different position.

Accessory cables may need extending.

Unlike the PTCC which required an auxiliary power supply rating of 50VA, the ADVC Controller requires 100VA.

If the auxiliary supply is provided by an external VT connected through the ACR, there are limitations to the supply ratings of equipment powered by the radio power supply. For an external VT, the maximum continuous current drawn from the radio supply should be limited to 0.5 amps.

The ADVC Controller (Ver 44 or above) door is held open by a door stay mechanism which prevent door swinging or blowing shut. To disengage the door stay follow the directions on the operator sheet located on the inside of the door.

tools Required

Torque wrench and metric socket set, normal engineers tools.

24mm Open ended drive to fit the torque wrench (commonly known as a "Claw Foot"). This is only required with 630A cable tails which screw directly into the bushings and are tightened by a 24mm lock-nut.

Standard 300gm cartridge applicator, (Caulking Gun).

Bushing boot clamping spanner, (supplied by the manufacturer).

Tools to prepare pole as required.

Crane or other lift for ACR and ADVC, four D shackles and slings. A 1m spreader bar is also useful, if the surge arresters are to be fitted onto the ACR tank, to keep the slings away from the surge arresters when lifting.

Parts Required (Not supplied by the manufacturer)Two 20mm galvanised or stainless steel bolts with washers and nuts etc. to bolt the ACR mounting bracket to power pole. See Figure 7 : ACR Mounting and Dimensions (page 3-9). If the optional pole clamps have been purchased this is not required.

1 An accessory mounting bracket can be purchased to allow the use of the same mounting holes as were used with the manufacturers PTCC. (Part No. 99800125)

Connecting the batteries with reverse polarity will cause damage to the electronic systems

site Procedure

To erect and test the ACR and ADVC, carry out the following steps. Mounting details are given in Figure 7 : (page 3-9).

Transport to site and carry out testing prior to erection as required.1:

Connect cable tails and surge arresters before raising the ACR. See 2: Cable Tail Connections (page 3-6) and Surge Arrester Mounting and Terminating (page 3-7)

Ensure that the pole is of sufficient strength to support the ACR. A structural 3: engineer may be needed to calculate the stresses involved.

Securely mount the ACR mounting bracket on the power pole.4:

Lift the ACR into position and lower it so that it sits on the mounting bracket. See 5: Figure 7 : (page 3-9).

Bolt the ACR to the mounting bracket with the four 12mm nuts and bolts 6: provided. Tighten to 50 Nm.

Complete the high voltage connections as shown in 7: Figure 10 : (page 3-12) or as appropriate for the site installation.

Unbolt the SCEM compartment cover plate from the bottom of the ACR. Remove 8: the blanking plate and fit the control cable into place. Connect the control cable to plug P1 1 on the SCEM located inside the ACR.

See Control Cable Connection (page 3-2) for the correct way to connect/disconnect the control cable.

9: Fit the retaining plate. 2

Run the control cable from the ACR down to the ADVC.10:

If the ADVC is to be bolted to the pole, drill the top hole and fit the bolt. If it is to be 11: strapped, feed the straps through the slots on the upper and lower mounting brackets.

3-5

12: Lift the ADVC into position and bolt or strap it to the power pole.

Attach the control cable to the power pole maintaining maximum available 13: separation from the main earth bond (at 200mm for wood and concrete poles and 150mm for steel poles). Ensure that there is enough cable available at each end to permit connection to the equipment.

Run the earth connections as described in 14: Earthing (Grounding) (page 3-8).

15: Connect the control cable from the ACR through the base of the ADVC 1

and then to the switchgear socket 2 on the CAPE.

For LV mains supply run auxiliary wiring as shown in 16: Figure 8 : (page 3-10). Make the connection inside the ADVC as shown in Figure 6 : (page 3-8).

For LV supply from a dedicated transformer supplied by the utility, connect as 17: shown in Figure 9 : (page 3-11).

For Integrated supply from an external transformer, connect as shown in 18: Figure 9 : (page 3-11). (See also Auxiliary Power from Integrated Transformer (page 3-8))

Power down the ADVC by switching off all MCBs. Note that this should be done 19: whenever connecting or disconnecting the control cable from the ADVC.

20: Fit the batteries if they are not already in place.

If communications equipment is to be installed go to 21: 4 Communications and Accessories Installation (page 4-1).

Otherwise go to 22: 5 Testing Your Installation (page 5-1).

When mounting the ADVC to a wooden pole, use a spirit level to ensure correct alignment, and minimise torque on the mounting brackets

Note that the ADVC mounts have key holes as shown here, so that you can lift the ADVC on to the mounting bolt and slide it into position.

It is vital that the earthing scheme is carried out as described

Cable tail Connections

HV cables are supplied in one of two forms:

Fitted with a lug to be bolted to a factory fitted palm on the end of the bushing (250, 400, or 800 A).

Fitted with a threaded termination that is screwed into the bushing (630A).

In both cases the procedure is to attach the cable to the bushing and then cover with the bushing boot as detailed in the following sections.

The bushing is supplied clean and protected with a plastic cap. Ensure this is undisturbed and the bushing body and tin plated central conductor or palm are clean and undamaged. If the bushing has become soiled then clean with methylated spirits. Sand or brush the aluminium palm to remove oxide.

Grease the bushing and the conductor with the silicone grease provided (part number 990000350).

Unpack the cable tail and bushing boots. Check that the cable termination and the boot are clean and undamaged. If necessary, clean with methylated spirits.

Push the boot down the cable to a distance approximately 1 metre from the termination (place a small amount of grease on the closed end of the boot to assist the boot to slide down the cable). Fill the bushing boot with the silicone grease provided, starting at the closed end and finishing approx 60mm from the open end of the boot.

For 630 A cables terminated with a screw thread, ensure the thread, locknut and bushing surfaces are clean and dry. Screw the tail into the bushing by turning the whole cable tail. Tighten to 50 Nm using a spanner across the brass locknut fitted. Take care to apply only twisting forces to the terminal (no shear force).

For 250, 400 and 630A cables terminated with a lug, smear with aluminium jointing paste and bolt the lug to the bushing palm with the two M10 bolts provided and tighten to 44 Nm using a 17mm socket.

For 800 A copper cables terminated with a lug, smear with aluminium jointing paste and bolt the lug to the bushing palm. Because of the weight of the cable it may be difficult to fit the bolts through the lug and the bushing palm while holding the cable. Therefore, using an M10 bolt from the packing crate, temporarily insert the M10 bolt through the rear of one of the holes in the palm. Fit the corresponding hole in the tail over the M10 bolt. Insert a cap head socket screw into the other hole from the lug side and partially tighten it. Remove the M10 bolt. Insert the second cap head socket screw through the lug and tighten both screws to 22 Nm using an 8 mm (5/16") hex key.

Grease the surface of the bushing, slide the bushing boot down over the bushing while rotating the boot back and forth. Fix into place using the clamping ring and spanner provided. The bottom of the boot should be firmly seated on the top of the circuit breaker tank. During the clamping process silicone may bleed from the top of the boot where the cable tail comes out. This is quite normal and can be assisted by sliding a small screwdriver into the boot alongside the cable tail but be very careful not to damage the bushing. Silicone grease will also come out around the bottom of the bushing. This is quite normal. Wipe off excess silicone grease with a clean cloth.

The insulated cables supplied by the manufacturer are rated for use at the following voltages and ratings:

Up to 15kV 100mm minimum clearance phase to phase, or phase to earth

>15kV to 38kV 150mm minimum clearance phase to phase, or phase to earth

Hint - as you fill the boot with grease, keep sliding it down the cable as this pushes the grease up into the boot.

When making the 800 A cable tail line connection, suitable steps must be taken to prevent water ingress to the cable

surge Arrester Mounting and terminating

The ACR is type tested for Impulse Withstand Voltages up to 170kV depending on the model. See 11 Ratings and Specifications (page 11-1)

When there is a possibility that lightning or network switching conditions may produce peak voltages in excess of 70% of the Impulse Withstand Voltage, the manufacturer recommends the use of suitably rated surge arresters connected to each terminal of the ACR.

The arresters should be mounted on the mounting brackets supplied by the manufacturer and earthed as described in Figure 8 : (page 3-10).

Failure to correctly install adequately rated surge arresters may result in warranty claims being declared void.

Mounting brackets are provided for surge arresters on the tank of the ACR. This is illustrated in Figure 10 : (page 3-12) and Figure 7 : (page 3-9).

The surge arresters can be mounted on top of the brackets or clamped to the side of the brackets using the holes provided. Top holes are 12mm diameter, side holes are 16mm diameter. In this way most types of surge arrester can be accommodated.

The brackets are tilted to maximise phase/phase clearance. The user should check that phase/phase and phase/earth clearance will be sufficient for their particular surge arresters and line voltages. For some types of side clamping surge arresters, the phase/earth clearance may be insufficient at the centre phase on the pole side at higher voltages. In this case the surge arrester can be mounted on the side of the power pole or an increased clearance ACR mounting bracket fitted.

Connections from the surge arresters to the cable tails can be made by stripping off the cable tail insulation and using a parallel or "T" type clamp to make the connection to the cable tail. The connection should be made far enough up the tail so that phase/phase and phase/earth clearances are maintained. The cable tail is watertight1, so additional water blocking where the insulation has been removed is not required, however it is good practice to tape the joint using a bitumen or mastic tape, to maintain the cabling system insulation.

1 The 800A cable is not water-blocked, so must be taped.

If the arresters are not mounted close to the ACR the protection they provide is significantly reduced.

earthing (Grounding)

Figure 8 : (page 3-10) shows the earthing (grounding) common to all installations.

This arrangement earths the ACR frame and the surge arresters directly to earth through a main earth bond consisting of a copper conductor of 70 sq. mm. Any surges will flow down this path.

The control cubicle is connected to this main earth bond by a tee-off. The control cubicle electronics are internally protected from potential differences which may occur between the ACR frame and control cubicle frame whilst surge currents are flowing down the main earth bond. No other connections to earth from the control cubicle are allowed since surge currents will also flow in those paths. Follow this arrangement on both conducting and insulating power poles.

Keep the main earth bond physically separated from the control cable, as they run down the power pole, by the maximum spacing available and at least 150mm.

LV Auxiliary Power from Mains

Where LV mains are connected to the control cubicle to provide auxiliary power the connection must connect the neutral of the LV system to a tee-off from the main earth bond as shown in Figure 8 : (page 3-10). A low voltage surge arrester must also be fitted from the LV phase connection to this tee-off.

This connection scheme bonds the LV and HV earths and so protects the primary insulation of the auxiliary supply transformer in the control cubicle when surge currents are flowing. Fit additional LV surge arresters to all the other LV phases (if they exist), to balance the supply for other users connected to the LV system.

If local conditions or wiring rules prohibit bonding the HV and LV systems in this way, providing the auxiliary supply to the control cubicle from the LV mains system is not possible. Instead, use one of the alternative arrangements detailed below.

LV Auxiliary Power from Dedicated Utility transformer

Figure 9 : (page 3-11) shows wiring and earthing if a dedicated transformer is supplied by the utility. Note that this should not be used to supply any other equipment without consulting the manufacturer to ensure that no hazard is caused to the control cubicle electronics.

Figure 9 : (page 3-11) shows that the transformer and any steelwork is earthed to the switchgear tank and that one side of the transformer secondary is earthed to the earth stud on the equipment panel inside the control cubicle.

Auxiliary Power from Integrated transformer

The manufacturer can provide a dedicated voltage transformer outside the ACR tank which connects directly into the control electronics. This is called an Integrated Auxiliary Supply.

An external transformer is mounted on the front of the tank as shown in Figure 9 : (page 3-11) which also shows suggested HV connections. The secondary of the external transformer connects into the SCEM on the underside of the ACR. To connect the transformer secondary, remove the SCEM compartment cover plate, pass the cable which is pre-fitted with a cable gland through the hole, secure the gland, connect the auxiliary supply to the screw terminal block on the SCEM and replace the compartment cover.

No additional earthing for Integrated Auxiliary Supply is required in addition to the common earthing shown in Figure 9 : (page 3-11).

Do not earth surge arresters by a different path, doing this may cause damage to the control electronics or ACR Also, any antenna should be

bonded to the ACR or the main earth bond

If the secondary of the Vt is earthed, electronics damage will occur

raDio antennaMount the antenna and run the antenna feed to the ADVC or run external communications cable to the ADVC. The communication cable/radio antenna, enters the cubicle via the 16mm hole provided on the underside of the cubicle.

Cable EntryFigure 11.

Protection of Radio equipment

It is highly advisable to connect a gas discharge type of surge arrester in the antenna feed to the radio. Failure to do so will result in loss of radio and control electronics protection which could lead to complete electronic failure due to lightning activity.

A feed-through or bulkhead type arrester fitted to the bottom of the control cubicle is ideal. If fitted internally the surge arrester should be earthed to an equipment panel mounting stud by the shortest possible wire. Holes are provided for a bulkhead surge arrester.

If a surge arrester is not fitted then the co-axial earth screen should be earthed to the equipment panel by the shortest possible wire.

coMMunication portSThe ADVC Controller has numerous communications ports available to the user:

Not all ports are available for use at the same time. The ports can be enabled/disabled via WSOS.

Permanently available ports are:

RS232 Port D

10 base T Ethernet

Any 3 of the 5 following ports are available:

RS 232 Port A (enabled by default)

RS232 Port B (enabled by default)

RS 232 Port C (enabled by default)

RS485 (disabled by default)

V23 FSK (disabled by default)

The ports typically have three uses:

WSOS communications

SCADA communications

IOEX communications

Rs232

Four RS232 ports (A to D) are provided to connect to conventional modems that provide the correct signalling for the communications network used, e.g. optical fibre modem, or telephone dial up modem, or RS232 radio modem. All four ports have standard 9 pin D male connectors and have the following pin connections:

RS232 Pin ConnectionsTable 1.

All RS-232 ports are not isolated from one another or from the controller electronics. They therefore can only be connected to devices inside the controller that are powered by the controller radio supply, including modems, optical isolators, and radios.

Use of serial ports to connect directly to other devices outside the controller can cause damage and void warranty. If connections to other devices are required then isolation

interfaces MUST be used.

The USB Port will be made available in software version A44-09

Rs485

An RS485 port has been provided to enable higher speed multi-drop connections that often occur within substations. The RS-485 port is a female RJ45 connector.

V23 FsK

An in-built FSK modem provides half-duplex V23 signalling at 1200 bits per second. This interface is primarily designed for use with voice frequency radio systems and provides additional signals for this purpose.

The V23 connector is RJ45:

Pin Direction Use1 To ADVC Receive, 10 kOhm impedance

Sensitivity 0.1 - 2V pk-pk2 0 Volts (ground)3 Not connected4 To ADVC Busy, 5 kOhm impedance5 Not connected6 From ADVC Transmit, 600 Ohm impedance

Level 2.5V pk-pk7 Not connected8 From ADVC Push to talk (PTT)

V23 Pin ConnectionsTable 3.

The Push to Talk (PTT) signal is used to key up a radio transmitter. PTT is implemented using a Field Effect Transistor (FET) with an on resistance of 3.3 ohm. When PTT is asserted the transistor is turned on and connects the PTT signal to 0V.

A busy signal can be provided by the radio to indicate receive channel busy. High level is +2.0V to +3.3V, and low level is 0V to +0.5V. The busy signal should be driven by an open collector output or current limited to 10 mA.

If multiple ACRs are in use in a substation application they can be connected to a single radio using the 600ohm line isolator accessory available from the manufacturer.

Levels in excess of 13V should not be applied. The FET is rated for a maximum of +32V and negative voltages are not permitted.

Transmit and receive are unbalanced signals relative to 0 volts and are not isolated. If a DC level is imposed by the radio on the transmit line then this should be less than 2.5 VDC.

5-15-1

The following sections give details of how the ACR and ADVC, installed as described in 3 Installation (page 3-1), should be prepared for operation.

Check that no visible damage has occurred during the installation.

Carry out any visual and electrical tests, such as insulation and contact resistance, considered necessary to prove that the installation is sound.

powering up the aDvc

Turn on the battery circuit breaker, located above the 1: icon.

Turn on the dual pole auxiliary supply circuit breaker, located above the 2: icon, if the auxiliary supply is being provided by either an LV mains or dedicated auxiliary transformer.

If a second AC input is provided, located above the 3: , turn on its dual pole MCB. or Turn on the VT supply to cubicle circuit breaker if the auxiliary supply is being 4: provided by an integrated transformer (single pole MCB above , if fitted).

Powering up the ADVC with the ACR connected will cause the ADVC to read 5: data from the ACR. This will take up to 60 seconds during which the message:

"READING - Do NOT disconnect Switchgear" will flash at the top of the display. The System OK LED on the OCP should

flash to indicate that the ADVC is powered and functioning.

The flexVUE O.I. will create an ALeRt with the same message.

If the configuration file containing the settings to be used in operation has not 6: previously been loaded, it should be loaded now using WSOS, or the settings should be entered via the OCP.

The ACR and ADVC are now ready for operation. Prior to energising the ACR, you should perform the following checks to confirm that the equipment is fully operational and properly configured.

Check that the installation and external connections have been carried out as described in this manual and in accordance with local regulations.

ensure that earthing has been carried out as described in Earthing (Grounding) (page 3-8).

If you are familiar with navigating Operator Control Interface display groups, proceed with the checks described below. Otherwise, please read the chapter, 7 Operator Interface (page

7-1) before continuing.

5 testing Your Installation

The batteries are capable of supplying very high currents. Always turn off the battery circuit breaker before connecting or disconnecting the batteries in the cubicle.

At this point, the battery state should be Normal with a voltage within the range 23.2 to 33.1VDC. Ensure the Aux Supply status is Normal. If not, you cannot perform the remaining battery checks at this stage.

Switch the battery circuit breaker off and check that the battery status changes to 2: OFF. (Allow 3 - 5 seconds.)

3: Go to the eVeNt LoG (see 8 Event Log (page 8-1) for details on how to do this) and check that the bottom line of the display (the most recent event) contains the Battery OFF event.

Switch the battery back on.4:

connection Between the aDvc anD the acrCheck the Switch status which can be found on the following menu page:1:

System Status - SWITCHGEAR STATUS-S.

e.g.


OPERATOR MENU - SWITCHGEAR STATUS - SWITCHGEAR DATA - Switch Status

It may be in either of two states: Connected or Disconnected. "Connected" is the normal state. If Switch is "Disconnected", check the control cable at both ends. If the status remains "Disconnected", the cable may be faulty.

Check that the Switch Data status is Valid. 2: In normal operation, if Switch status is "Connected", Switch Data will be "Valid".

If the control cable has been unplugged (Switch "Disconnected", Switch Data "Invalid") then re-plugged (Switch status "Connected"), the Switch Data status will remain "Invalid" during the time taken to read switch data from the SCEM, and a message to that effect is displayed.

If Switch Data remains "Invalid", check the following:

Examine each end of the control cable, checking for bent or broken pins and rectify if found. Also check the socket at both the SCEM and P1 in the ADVC for damage.

If the pins are OK, the cable itself may be faulty1, therefore test the control cable for continuity.

If Switch Data remains "Invalid", check the power supply to the SCEM by checking the voltage on Pins 2 and 5 of the control cable. The voltage should be approximately 36VDC if the auxiliary supply is present, 45 VDC for an 110/230 V auxiliary supply or approximately 26VDC if running on batteries.2

1. It is possible for the Switch status to be showing "Connected" even though the control cable core is faulty, causing the switch Data to show "Invalid".

2. A break-out cable to facilitate this measurement is available as an accessory.

When the battery status reads Low, but the voltage is close to the normal range lower limit, the battery will charge up when the auxiliary supply is turned on. If the

voltage is very low, replace the battery.

For this and all subsequent tests you will need to check settings on display group pages (See Display Groups (page 7-3).) You may also have to check the Event Log (See 8 Event Log (page 8-1))

terMinal DeSignation anD phaSe rotationThe power system phase assigned to each set of bushings on the ACR must be correctly indicated at the time of installation of the ADVC. This process is called "setting the phasing". Setting the phasing affects all the displays, events, etc., concerned with recloser terminals, for example: voltage measurements, live/dead terminal displays and maximum current events.

Normal/default phasing is A, B and C for bushings U, V and W. Normal/default phase rotation is ABC.

If the phasing at the ACR and/or phase rotation of the network are different from the defaults, you must set the phasing and/or the phase rotation.
