CAUTION!
When medium-voltage equipment is operating, certain components are live, other parts may be in movement and some may reach high temperatures. Therefore, the use of this equipment poses electrical, mechanical and thermal risks.
In order to ensure an acceptable level of protection for people and property, and in compliance with applicable environmental recommendations, Ormazabal designs and manufactures its products according to the principle of integrated safety, based on the following criteria:
• Elimination of hazards wherever possible.• Where elimination of hazards is neither technically nor economically feasible, appropriate protection functions are
incorporated in the equipment.• Communication about remaining risks to facilitate the design of operating procedures which prevent such risks, training
for the personnel in charge of the equipment, and the use of suitable personal protective equipment.• Use of recyclable materials and establishment of procedures for the disposal of equipment and components so that
once the end of their service lives is reached, they are duly processed in accordance, as far as possible, with the environmental restrictions established by the competent authorities.
Consequently, the equipment to which the present manual refers complies with the requirements of section 11.2 of Standard IEC 62271-1. It must therefore only be operated by appropriately qualified and supervised personnel, in accordance with the requirements of standard EN 50110-1 on the safety of electrical installations and standard EN 50110-2 on activities in or near electrical installations. Personnel must be fully familiar with the instructions and warnings contained in this manual and in other recommendations of a more general nature which are applicable to the situation according to current legislation[1].
The above must be carefully observed, as the correct and safe operation of this equipment depends not only on its design but also on general circumstances which are in general beyond the control and responsibility of the manufacturer. More specifically:
• The equipment must be handled and transported appropriately from the factory to the place of installation.• All intermediate storage should occur in conditions which do not alter or damage the characteristics of the equipment or
its essential components.• Service conditions must be compatible with the equipment rating.• The equipment must be operated strictly in accordance with the instructions given in the manual, and the applicable
operating and safety principles must be clearly understood.• Maintenance should be performed properly, taking into account the actual service and environmental conditions in the
place of installation.
The manufacturer declines all liability for any significant indirect damages resulting from violation of the guarantee, under any jurisdiction, including loss of income, stoppages and costs resulting from repair or replacement of parts.
WarrantyThe manufacturer guarantees this product against any defect in materials and operation during the contractual period. If defects are detected, the manufacturer may opt either to repair or replace the equipment. Improper handling of this equipment and its repair by the user shall constitute a violation of the guarantee.

The mimic diagram for the main medium voltage circuit is displayed on the cover of this compartment.
The mimic diagram includes all the position indicators for the driving elements.
The cgm.3 system has, in line with the cubicle model, the following types of driving mechanism:
B Tilting l, s, s-pt, rb-pt, v, 2lp, 2lv
BM Motorised tilting l, s, s-pt, 2lp, 2lv
BR-A Accumulation of energy with latch p, 2lp
BR-AM Accumulation of energy with motorised latch l, p, 2lp
AV Circuit-breaker without reclosing v, 2lv
AMV Motorised circuit-breaker without reclosing v, 2lv
RAV Circuit-breaker with reclosing option v, 2lv
RAMV Motorised circuit-breaker with reclosing option v, 2lv
These elements are operated independently, i.e., their actuation speed does not depend on the speed of the manual operation.
The B, BM, BR, AR and BR-AM driving mechanisms can be replaced by upgrading in any of the three possible
positions (closed – opened – earth). Whilst the driving mechanism is withdrawn, these positions of the switch can be blocked using a coupling device, whether in service or not.

General instructionsHandling and transport
IG-136-EN version 10; 23/06/2016
14 cgm.3 system Fully SF6 gas insulated medium voltage switchgear up to 40.5 kV in accordance with IEC Standards
2 Handling and transport
Important: During transport, the switchgear must be perfectly seated and fixed so that it cannot move about and possibly damage the equipment.
2.1 Lifting means
The switchgear must always be kept upright, directly on the ground or on a pallet depending on the type of handling involved.
To handle assemblies of up to 4 cgm.3 functional units, one of the following methods must be used:
1. Using a forklift truck or pallet-jack[5].
Figure 2.1 Lifting a cgm.3 modular cubicle using a fork-lift truck.
2. Lifting using slings or chains fixed to the lifting supports on the sides of the top of the cubicle. The angle of pull should be as vertical as possible (with an angle greater than 60º from the horizontal).
Figure 2.2 Lifting a cgm.3 modular cubicle with chains.
3. If it is not possible to use the aforementioned methods, rollers may be used underneath the switchgear. Another option is to slide the cubicles over rods (these same rods can be used to help get over the cable trench).
4. To handle sets of 5 functional cgm.3 units (consisting of either coupled modules or compact assemblies associated with modules), use lifting systems (slings, lifting beam, etc.) with a pull angle greater than 65º and less than 115º in order to prevent possible damage to the cubicles during hoisting.
[5] Position the rear of the cubicle facing the driver, to avoid damaging the front.

3 Storage
If it needs to be stored, the equipment must be placed on dry ground or on top of damp-proof insulating material, still in its original packaging.
After prolonged storage, clean all the insulating parts carefully before commissioning the equipment. The enclosure should be cleaned with a clean, dry lint-free cloth.
Storage must always be INDOORS, with the following conditions recommended:
1. Ambient air temperature should not exceed 40 ºC and its mean value, measured in a period of 24 hours, should not exceed 35 ºC.
2. The ambient air temperature should not drop below - 5 ºC. There are also cubicles with storage temperature up to - 40 ºC.
3. The switchgear must be protected from direct solar radiation.
4. Altitude, both in transport and in storage, must not exceed 2000 m.
5. The environmental air must not have any significant contamination from dust, smoke, corrosive and/or inflammable gases, vapours or salt.
6. The switchgear must be protected from the rain, and the humidity conditions should be as follows:
a) the mean relative humidity value, measured over a period of 24 hours, must not exceed 95%.
b) the mean water steam pressure value, measured in a period of 24 hours, must not exceed 2.2 kPa.
c) the mean relative humidity value, measured over a period of one month, must not exceed 90%.
d) the mean water steam pressure value, measured in a period of one month, must not exceed 1.8 kPa.
7. During transport, vibrations caused by external factors or seismic movements must be insignificant.
Any other conditions must be made known beforehand, since the equipmentmust be factory-set at atmospheric pressure in the final destination.Otherwise the gauge may show an erroneous reading, even thoughthe unit's interior pressure value is correct.

4.5 Fastening to the floor
Before assembling the cubicles, the floor must be carefully levelled to prevent any deformation which may make it difficult to connect the cubicles to one another.
The cubicles can be fastened to the floor in two ways:
4.5.1 Fastening to the floor on profile
If the floor of the facility is not sufficiently uniform, it is advisable to install the medium voltage cubicles on an auxiliary profile, to make it easier to connect. This profile, which can be supplied to order, must be anchored to the floor using expansion screws.
A Screw M10x25
B 65 x 65 x 4 mm profile
C Anchoring support
Figure 4.11 Fastening cubicles on profile
4.5.2 Fastening to the floor by anchoring
If the floor of the installation is level enough, it is advisable to install the medium voltage cubicle anchored directly to the floor.
The sequence for anchoring the cubicles to the floor is as follows:
1. The cubicle's switch must be in the earthing position[13].
By default, the cubicles are supplied with the switch in earthing position. Except in circuit breaker functions, which will be in disconnected position.
2. Remove the cable compartment cover, using the central handle on the cover to pull it up and forward.

4.8 Cable connections
The medium voltage incoming and outgoing feeders are linked to the transformer or, occasionally, other cubicles via cables. The joints of these cables to the corresponding female bushing in the cubicles of the cgm.3 system can be either using simple connection terminals (plug-in) or reinforced terminals (screw-in), type IEC or IEEE-386 compliant[*].
The cable compartment contains the connecting cable bushings for the incoming and outgoing feeders, as well as for the outgoing feeders to the transformer.
The cable compartment is sized to allow the use of both insulated and partially insulated terminals[9].
Never touch live connectors, not even screened connectors. Screening does not constitute a protection against direct contact.When the equipment is in service and a reserve cubicle is left with voltage in the upper busbar and without the cables in the lower bushings, insulating plugs must be placed in the bushings (EUROMOLD type) or close the earthing switch and lock that position with a padlock.
The terminals recommended for networks with Ur = 36 kV are detailed below.

5 Recommended sequence of operations
Before carrying out any operation when voltage is present, we recommend checking the SF6 gas pressure using the pressure gauge.
5.1 Checking the gas pressure
Each tank has a pressure gauge for checking the gas pressure, which can easily be seen from outside the cubicle. The pressure gauge scale is divided into different colours: red, grey and green. For safe operation, the needle must be in the green area of the corresponding temperature band.
Figure 5.1 Pressure gauge
5.2 Voltage presence indicator
Ormazabal has two voltage presence indication options:
• The ekor.vpis unit for detecting voltage, designed in accordance with Standard IEC 62271-206. Therefore, the “voltage presence” indication is displayed when the phase-earth voltage is equal to or greater than 45% of the rated voltage and is not visible when the phase-earth voltage is less than 10% of the rated voltage.
• The ekor.ivds unit for detecting voltage is designed in accordance with Standard IEC 61243-5. Therefore, the “voltage presence” detection is displayed when the phase-earth voltage is between 45% and 120% of the rated voltage and is not visible when the phase-earth voltage is less than 10% of the rated voltage.
Both units provide a clear visual indication for the user, without needing an auxiliary power supply for its operation.
For each of the three phases, the presence of voltage is indicated by intermittent flashing of the indicators.
The voltage detection unit has the following displays:
1. L1, L2, L3 signal each of the indicator phases. The numbering corresponds to the order of the phases, from left to right, seen from the front of the cubicle. Each phase has a test point for checking the phase balance between cubicles.
2. Voltage presence indicator. The flashing light indicates the presence of voltage in this phase.
Recommended sequence of operationsGeneral instructions
IG-136-EN version 10; 23/06/2016
35cgm.3 system Fully SF6 gas insulated medium voltage switchgear up to 40.5 kV in accordance with IEC Standards
3. Phase test points. Each phase has a test point for checking the phase balance between cubicles.
4. Earth test point. This is only used for comparing the phases.
Figure 5.2 Voltage presence indication unit
The purpose of the test points for the three phases and earth is to make it easier to check the phase balance[16] between cubicles. Specific phase comparator ekor.spc by Ormazabal can be used to do this.
With the ekor.vpis, if the indicators do not light up, use other means to check that there is no voltage.
5.3 Phase balance check
The ekor.spc[17] phase comparator by Ormazabal should be used for checking that the medium voltage cables are correctly connected to the feeder cubicles.
Firstly, connect the red cables of the ekor.spc unit to the corresponding phase test points in the voltage indication units[18], and the black cable to the earth test point. This operation must be repeated for all the phases: L1, L2 and L3
Figure 5.3 Detail of ekor.spc
Figure 5.4 Detail of ekor.spc
[16] See section 5.3 “Phase balance check”[17] Optionally, other comparison devices which comply with Standard IEC 62271-206 may be used.[18] See section 5.2. “Voltage presence indicator” of these General Instructions.

6 Safety elements
6.1 Acoustic earthing prevention alarm
The ekor.sas acoustic alarm unit is associated to the ekor.vpis voltage presence indicator and to the earth shaft drive. The alarm is activated when there is voltage in the functional unit's medium voltage feeder and the lever is inserted in the earthing switch shaft. A sound then indicates that a short-circuit or zero voltage may occur in the network if the operation is carried out.
Operation of the unit is assured within the same operating range as the ekor.vpis unit associated with it[23].
Figure 6.1 ekor.sas unit
6.2 Interlocks
The switchgear is provided with safety locks, which ensure the following conditions:
1. The switch-disconnector and the earthing switch cannot both be in closed position at the same time.
2. The cubicles have a safety lock which prevents access to the medium voltage cable compartment while the earthing switch is not closed. In normal operation, this earthing switch cannot be opened if the cable compartment cover is not in place.

7 Maintenance
For safety reasons, maintenance operations performed directly on the driving mechanism must be performed WITHOUT any driving levers inserted.
The live parts of the main circuit and switching equipment do not require inspection or maintenance, as they are completely insulated in SF6, and therefore free from any influence from the external environment.
The operating mechanism for the cgm.3 system cubicles driving devices does not require lubrication for correct operation throughout its estimated lifetime, according to the service conditions specified in IEC 62271-1.
These mechanisms must be inspected when used under extreme conditions (dust, salt, pollution). It is advisable to carry out at least one operation during the inspections.
Components manufactured from galvanised sheet steel have been painted to ensure their resistance to corrosion. Any scratches, dents or similar on them must be repaired to prevent corrosion.
Facilities which operate under severe climate conditions, in excess of those defined as normal Service Conditions (IEC 62271-1), must carry out the regular preventive maintenance tasks required. Check with Ormazabal for the environmental conditions of the installation.
7.1 Voltage presence indicator test
To test the ekor.vpis or ekor.ivds voltage presence indicator, connect it to a 230 Vac power supply. To do this, disconnect the ekor.vpis or ekor.ivds device from the cubicle, and, using 4 mm terminals, apply the voltage between the test point for the phase to be checked and the earth test point.
No polarity is defined for 230 Vac voltage, so either the phase or neutral conductor can be connected.
If a flashing signal is observed, the device is working correctly. In order to properly test the ekor.vpis or ekor.ivds, this check should be carried in the 3 phases.

MaintenanceGeneral instructions
IG-136-EN version 10; 23/06/2016
67cgm.3 system Fully SF6 gas insulated medium voltage switchgear up to 40.5 kV in accordance with IEC Standards
Voltage presence indication is not sufficient in itself to ensure that the installation has been disconnected from the electricity supply. Before accessing the cable compartments, it is necessary to confirm that the feeder is connected to earth.
The ekor.vpis or ekor.ivds voltage indicator can be replaced if necessary. To do so, loosen until removing the two screws on the top right and bottom left of the indicator using a medium size Philips screwdriver. The ekor.vpis or kor.ivds unit can then be disconnected from the base without needing to power down the feeder.
7.2 Acoustic earthing prevention alarm test
To test that the ekor.sas acoustic alarm is working correctly, connect the ekor.vpis at 230 Vac with 4 mm terminals, which are placed in the indicator between the earth test point and the test point for phase L1. Maintain the auxiliary power for 5 minutes, after which time the lever is inserted in the earthing switch shaft in order to carry out the operation. The alarm starts to sound and continues to sound for at least 30 seconds. It will stop when the lever is removed.
The ekor.sas alarm can be replaced if necessary, since it is joined to the associated units with two friction-fit PCB connectors:
• One 3-pin connector, polarised for the voltage presence Indicator.
• One 2-pin connector for the lever microswitch.The procedure is as follows:
Remove the driving mechanism cover.
• Unscrew the ekor.sas unit to extract it.• Undo both connectors and replace the current
unit; then connect it to the lever microswitch (2-pin connector) and the voltage indicator (polarised 3-pin connector).

7.3 Specific maintenance for the cgm.3-v cubicle
The driving mechanisms and other elements outside the gas tank may require preventive maintenance; the frequency of this maintenance depends on the existing environmental conditions (harsh environments, dust, extreme temperatures, etc.) and must be established in line with the experience and responsibility of the installer.
Maintenance should be carried out every 5 years or 2000 operating cycles, unless, based on the conditions of use, the user, together with Ormazabal, considers otherwise.
The recommended preventive maintenance sequence is described in Operations Manual MO-079 by Ormazabal.
