1. INTRODUCTION

TP 1b

1.1 As a result of the application of Technical Recommendation Tp-1a, there is a significant number of installed substations 10/0.4 kV of modern technology with high quality and reliability (especially, compact factory assembled medium voltage distribution switchboards, type Ring Main Unit). 1.2 A need for amendment and actualization of adopted Recommendation has been imposed from the experience and noticed imprecise details. 1.3 The aim of Technical Recommendation TR-1a is to define the basic conditions for design and erection of distribution transformer substation 10/0.4 kV, with cable connections, including: Layout of the switchgear Technical parameters of the switchgear Choice of equipment Choice of micro location and Technical specification for procurement

2. GENERAL TECHNICAL DATA 2.1 Typical design of cable connected distribution transformer substation, as a rule, consists of one 630 kVA rated capacity transformer unit. To meet the requirements of the consumers` area density, the design with two 630 kVA rated capacity transformer units is also the usual solution. In the case of expected-anticipated load exceeding the capacity of DTS 1x630 kVA, an acceptable solution is represented by one transformer unit 1000 kVA. The advantage of this solution is in possibility of using the same MV section as for 1x630 kVA, with corresponding fuse rating. It is necessary only to adapt the LV section to the rated output of transformer. Concerning its location and role in the medium voltage network, DTS can be basic or node. 2.3.1 Basic DTS, as a basic design, consists of medium voltage block with two incoming feeders and one transformer feeder (two transformer feeders for switchgear with two transformers) 2.3.2 Node DTS consists of three or more cable feeders, obligatorily equipped with switch diconnectors with motor drive (or possibility for installation of motor drive) , and prepared for remote control. Node DTS is fed, as a rule, via one or two cables (with cross sections not less than 240 mm2) from feeding substation X/10 kV. NDTS is the mandatory design for supply of consumers of highest priority. 2.3.3 Based on principles concerning rated power and number of transformer units as well as the medium voltage network configuration, the recommended types of transformer substations 10/0.4 kV are as follows:

Walls and ceiling of building for settlement of substation equipment should be certified as fireproof with duration of four hours. For DTS designed as self-supporting structure the static calculation for 1 daN/cm2 bearing soil is required.

2.8 2.9

2.10 The electric part of DTS (MV and LV distribution) consists of factory assembled units for simple and fast installation. Because of used materials, maintenance is not needed during its lifetime. 2.11 The equipment in 10 kV switchgear is sized according to the peak short circuit current 14,5 kA, e.g. three phase short circuit power of 250 MVA. 2.12 Equipment in 0.4 kV switchgear is sized according to the peak short circuit current 26 kA, e .g. three-phase short circuit power of 18 MVA.

7.12 In order to fulfill conditions for proper parallel operation of transformers, incoming (transformer) feeders are to be equipped with LV circuit breakers 1250(2000)A, coupling feeder with switch disconnector 1250(2000) A, manually operated, with shunt release tripping coils 220 V AC , and corresponding electrical interlocks (circuit breaker/switch disconnector on the primary side of the transformer , causes opening of main circuit breaker on the secondary side). 8. 8.1 CONNECTIONS TO MV SWITCHGEAR Cable connection to the incoming feeders 8.1.1 For the entrance of power cables into housing, cable glands through the wall of the substation concrete foundation are used. Cable should be properly sealed through these glands in order of preventing water ingress into the substation. 8.1.2 Incoming (cable) feeders in the MV switchgear are equipped with bushings for rated current 630 A with bolts M 16, so the connection will be made (depending of cable type) by using appropriate cable accessories-via cable connectors and terminations. 8.1.3 Cables for connection to MV switchgear can be single core or three core, of different types. But, because of practical reasons (order of the phases), it is recommended at least one of cable feeders to be single core. 8.1.4 If all cables for new switchgear are three core, the installation of transition joint from three core cable to single core cable is recommended in the very vicinity of the entrance, and connection of single core cable to the switchgear. 8.1.5 For the cases with switchgear RMU type on the both ends of three core cable, the installation of at least one transition joint is mandatory. 8.2 Connection to the MV side of transformer 8.2.1 The connection between power transformer and MV switchgear (transformer feeder) is carried out via single core cable type XHP 48 3x(1x50/16 mm2), 6/10 kV. The cable routing is carried out through previously prepared cable trench (duct), fixed by clips/brackets on the support structure against the MV side of transformer. 8.2.2 The appropriate screened elbow or straight adapter shall be mounted on the transformer side. Using of transformers with insulated connections and plug in cable terminations is a precondition for safer operational monitoring of transformer and prevention of possible failures and breakdowns caused by small animals. 8.2.3 Cable connection to the transformer feeder is carried out via appropriate straight or elbow adapters. 9.

For transformers with conservator, by means of contact thermometer with threshold of 90C, for opening.

11.1.5 The protection of power transformer against internal faults is carried out depending on the type of transformer: For transformers without conservator, by means of relay-thermal protector. The term: thermal protector ,used in this Recommendation, refers to device (relay) reacting to overheating at two thresholds (90C and 100C) and tank internal excess pressure (0.20 bar). For transformers with conservator, by means of Buchholz relay.

11.1.6 In both cases protection tripping causes switching off at the primary side of transformer. 11.2 Cable feeder protection 11.2.1 For DTS 1x630(1000) kVA and DTS 2x630(1000) kVA, no protection of cable feeders have been envisaged. 11.2.2 In specific cases of NDTS with switching station role, with circuit breakers both in cable and transformer feeders, the selective protection against short circuit, overload and earth fault is carried out via protection relays connected to secondary winding of corresponding current transformers or sensors. 11.3 LV distribution section protection For LV feeders, including feeder for reactive power compensation and public lighting feeder, HRC fuses are provided. Rated current of fuses depends on cross section of LV conductors, conditions for thermal emission, thermal conductivity during short circuit, and safety conditions for protection system against touch voltage in LV network. 11.4 Transformer protection against over voltages from MV side In the cases of well as in cases voltage network with appropriate short cable connections between medium voltage network and DTS, as with expected appearance of power frequency over voltage in medium due to type of consumers, metal oxide surge arresters in cable feeders adapters are required.

12.SUBSTATION CONTROL 12.1 The control of MV and LV devices in DTS is carried out manually, directly from control board of the appropriate switchgear. The safety conditions like interlocking which prevent incorrect manipulations, must be fulfilled. All elements of the substation, exposed to near and frequent contact, should be insulated and safe, with maximum protection against touch voltage.

13.EARTHING

TP 1b

13.1 The earthing system shall comply with the applicable technical regulations. 13.2 The earthing system shall be dimensioned according to thermal conditions and permissible step and touch voltages. Conditions for step and touch voltages depend on kind of MV network regarding neutral point earthing and kind of earth fault protection applied. Data about geoelectric soil characteristics as well as kind of protection in case of indirect contact- fault protection in corresponding LV network shall be taken into consideration. 13.3 The earthing system in DTS is, as a rule, a common system (connected operational and protective earthing system). 13.4 If the conditions for common earthing system are fulfilled, then only protective earthing system is carried out and neutral conductor is connected to it. 13.5 Common earthing system for DTS built as a separate self-standing structure is formed as two rectangular contours and earthing rods (sounds) in the angles of external contour. Instead of internal contour, in substations with reinforced concrete walls, it is possible to use foundation earthing. External and internal contour are mutually connected at least twice, then to a corresponding equipotential bonding bus, situated at the convenient place, easy accessible for mounting, testing and maintenance. 13.6 Earthing rods are not applied for DTS in the area of involved MV cable network with cables with conductive sheath (IPO 13, for example) and where economic reasons (karstic soil for example) allow other solution according to local conditions. 13.7 In the case of DTS installed in existing building, such a building shall have foundation earthing, used as a protective (common) earthing. 13.8 In calculations of resistance of common earthing system , the influence of MV cable sheaths, influence of adjacent substations and buildings connected to neutral conductor shall be taken into consideration. 13.9 For separate operational and protective earthing system additional measures in substation and its vicinity shall be applied to limit touch voltages to be lower than allowed touch voltage in substation and LV network. In that case conditions of efficient separation of operational and protective earthing must be fulfilled. 13.10 In DTS room, all equipotential measures shall be carried out for the purpose of preventing potential differences, connecting all metallic parts and housings on equipotential bus. 13.11 Material for earthing system in the soil can be: zinc plated steel (FeZn) tape, with at least 70 m zinc coating, cooper with or without zinc, tin or lead, or other materials with similar thermal, mechanical and chemical characteristics, with the prescribed minimal cross section according to mechanical stress and material corrosion.

15.3 Additional measures for noise reducing are applied in switchgears build up in existing residential buildings or business premises. These measures are as follows: Flexible pads, rubber or metal springs under the power transformer (with the best results) and Flexible connections and joints to the power transformer. 16.FIRE PRECAUTIONS 16.1 All parts of DTS shall comply with existing Regulations about technical norms for fire protection of electric power facilities and devices.

16.2 Walls and ceiling of the building structure aimed at accommodation of equipment shall be fireproof with duration of four hours. 16.3 There is no collection oil sump due to low possibility of sudden oil pouring, but the building structure for equipment accommodation should be constructed to prevent spreading of oil outside of substation.

Devices for fire protection are not provided, being the part of working teams` equipment.

17. DESIGNATIONS AND WARNINGS 17.1 Each substation shall have label with identification number of substation and warning plate , on its outside wall. 17.2 The plate on MV block shall contain: ordinal number, name direction of the other end of cable. of MV feeder and

17.3 The plate on LV block shall contain: the type of feeder, feeder name and LV cable cross section. 17.4 Designation plate shouldnt be mounted on the cable core. 18. PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT DTS is not provided with personal protective equipment (insulated gloves, boots, helmet), voltage indicator and safety plates being the part of working teams` equipment. 19. CIVIL PART OF SUBSTATION 19.1 Application of RMU middle voltage block, with considerable smaller dimensions than conventional air insulated switchgear, enables space saving building structure for accommodation of switchgear. One of the biggest advantages of SF6 insulated switchgear is in its reduced size. 19.2 Basic DTS is accommodated in non walk-in type civil housing. The housing size must be sufficient to fulfill all requirements concerning accommodation and arrangement of equipment. The type, design, kind and color of material can be chosen according to specific site and to the purpose of switchgear (permanent or temporary), but each constructive part must comply with basic technical conditions from this Recommendation. 19.3 Recommended design of typical DTS is compact concrete reinforced housing, transported on previously prepared location with completely assembled equipment, including power transformer up to 1000 kVA. 19.4 Node DTS is accommodated within the building structure with operational aisle and manipulation from inside. The building structure is recommended to be made from prefabricated, concrete elements. Dimensions shall be coordinated with the switchgear scope, design and color with the town planning requirements and all constructive parts must comply with basic technical conditions from this Recommendation. 19.5 Maximum allowable external dimensions are: Basic DTS 1x1000 kVA 8 m2 Basic DTS 2x630 kVA 10 m2 Node DTS 1x1000 kVA 12 m2 Node DTS 2x 630 kVA 20 m2
