GenieEvo storage

Storage These units are designed for indoor use only and must not be left outdoors. Itis therefore necessary to protect the equipment from the environment beforeand during erection/commissioning. The unit should be stored in a warm, dryswitchroom and protected against dust and debris. Should the busbarchamber or cable box become exposed to the elements, they should bethoroughly cleaned prior to energising.

Offloading All units can be offloaded by forklift truck using the integral lifting points at thebottom of each panel. They can also be offloaded using a kit consisting ofthe appropriate number of lifting lugs and can be offloaded using anoverhead crane (see above diagrams).

Ancillary kits Ancillary kits containing busbars, dyscon boots, glands, screws etc. areeither supplied loose with each unit, fastened to the panel, or secured in thecable box.

GenieEvo installation

Floor preparation Please refer to the arrangement drawing for the foundation details.

The units can be directly bolted tothe concrete floor by use of 2 x10mm rawlbolts for single widthpanels or 4 x 10mm rawlbolts forbus-section panels. The floortolerance is ±1mm over 1 metre

Where it is not possible toguarantee that the floor is within thespecified tolerance, we stronglyrecommend the use of foundationchannels I.e. Unistrut P3270 orsimilar.

note: the floor must be 1mm below thetop of the Unitstrut.

Installation ofcircuit breaker panel

Line up the first panel in position (seeUnistrut diagram). Insert 2 channel nutsinto the Unistruts shown and slide intoposition. Finger tighten the M10 screws atthe front and rear of the unit (do nottighten). Manoeuvre the next panel intoposition and repeat.

If the panel is being bolted directly to thefloor, line up the first panel in position andremove the lower panel front plate. Drillfront and back fixing position's throughthe access holes. The recommended drillsize is 16mm ø. Install rawlbolts, (shownabove). Finger connect the M10 nuts andwashers. Manoeuvre the next panel intoposition and repeat.

ArchitectureCircuit connected panel

GenieEvo consists of a (demountable) fixed patternvacuum circuit breaker with a series, 3 position,disconnector between the Vacuum Interrupter (VI)and the busbars.

The series disconnector is an off load device whichcan only be moved from one position to another withthe circuit breaker in the OFF position.

An interlock prevents the circuit breaker from beingclosed if the series disconnector is part way betweenone of its three positions.

All load and fault current interruption is carried out bythe vacuum circuit breaker.

Earthing schemes

circuit earthing

All circuit breaker panels have the ability to earth thecircuit as standard. The circuit is earthed via the mainvacuum circuit breaker and the position of the seriesdisconnector. Being an off load device the circuitearth can only be selected with the circuit breaker inthe open position. Once the disconnector is in the earth select position the breaker can be closed earthing the circuit.

busbar earthing

The bus section panel has two seriesdisconnectors utilised to offer either right handor left hand side busbar earthing from the samepanel, this does away with the need for anadditional busbar earth panel.To earth the right hand side of the switchboardsbusbars, with the vacuum circuit breaker in theoff position disconnector number two can bemoved to the main select position and numberone to the earth position.When the circuit breaker is then closed theright hand side of the switchboards busbars areearthed. The position of the two disconnectorsis reversed to earth the left hand sides of theswitchboards busbars.
