Technical guide Neutral plans
Medium Voltage Neutral Plan

There are a number of techniques in use across the world for the type of
neutral plan used in Medium Voltage networks.
Indeed, each country has chosen its own solution, its own settings,
depending on its network, its choices and requirements in terms of quality
and its network operating methods.
Moreover, a distinction should be made between 4-wire distribution
networks (North American system) and the 3-wire distribution networks
(European system).
6 types of neutral plan

Tuned neutral: Eastern Europe.
Neutral earthed directly without a 4th conductor: United Kingdom.
Neutral earthed directly with a 4th conductor: North America, Australia,
Saudi Arabia, and South Africa.
Neutral earthed via an impedance: North Africa, Spain, Malaysia,
Indonesia, some countries in South America.
Tuned neutral earthed via an impedance: France.
Neutral insulated from earth: Japan, Ireland, Italy, and Russia.
The impact of the neutral plan

The choice of neutral plan impacts, not only upon the size of the equipment
and the couplings between power transformers, but also on the safety of
personnel and continuity of service.

Technical guide Neutral plans
Principal types and advantages

Neutral earthed directly with a 4th conductor:
Excellent at controlling overvoltages.
Difficulties in detecting earth faults (a fault is equivalent to a load, because the load is also
measured between phase and earth).
Mediocre service quality: Numerous voltage drops following each earthing fault, but few
interruptions impacting upon the whole Medium Voltage outgoing feeder thanks to the various pieces
of protective equipment (fuses, re-closers, isolating switches, etc.).
Very high fault-to-earth currents (several kA).
Phase to earth network isolation close to the phase-to-neutral voltage.
Protection system based on inverse time ammetric relays and fuses: Co-ordination of protective
equipment highly complex.
Reduced manufacturing costs.
Well adapted to areas with a low population density.
Under extreme conditions: SWER (Single Wire Earth Return) Australia.
Neutral earthed directly without a 4th conductor:

Solution different from the North American system.
No distributed neutral.
Fault currents limited by zero-phase sequence impedance of the transformer.
Voltage increases difficult to control.
Highly efficient protective equipment.
Very high fault current (several thousand amperes).
No need for a network with phase to earth isolation resistant to phase-to-phase voltages.
Neutral insulated from earth

Service voltage generally not very high (rarely more than 10 or 11 kV between phases).
Short networks (Low residual capacitive currents).
Good control of overvoltages on short, overhead line networks.
Relatively average protection efficiency.
Relatively average power supply quality.
Little current circulating during an earth fault (only due to network phase-to-earth capacities).
Phase to earth isolation of the network at line voltage.
Difficult to detect and localize faults.
Risk of overvoltages.
Earthing by compensation reactance

Control of the fault current if the network does not have any large zero-phase sequence capacities
(few underground cables)
Average at controlling overvoltages.
Simple, sensitive and economical protection system.
Quality of service more or less good depending on the fault elimination and protection systems
(circuit-breaker, shunt, etc.).
Fault current more or less weak, but relatively well controlled.
Operational flexibility.
The need for a network with phase to earth isolation resistant to phase-to-phase voltages.
Neutral earthed by impedance

Virtually total control over fault currents.
Control over overvoltages good to excellent.
Average detection sensitivity for earth faults.
Good supply quality, especially if the fault is constant.
The need for a network with phase to earth isolation resistant to phase-to-phase voltages.

Introduction Presentation
Use of the Fluokit

Fluokit is the latest generation of air-isolated switchgear from
Schneider Electric. It is a modular switchboard fitted with gas-insulated
(SF6) switch-disconnector and earthing switches.
To protect the transformer, it can also be equipped with:
An SF6-insulated switch-disconnector with fuse combination.
A disconnectable or withdrawable SF6 circuit-breaker.
A disconnectable vacuum circuit-breaker.
Its modular design and variety of functions make the Fluokit the ideal
switchboard for many different applications, including public distribution,
industry, infrastructure or wind farms.
FP: Disconnectable or withdrawable Easy to install and use

SF6 circuit-breaker The installation and operations of Fluokit switchboards are made easy by:
The reduced dimensions of each cubicle.
A user-friendly, simple man-machine interface, reproducing the single-line
diagram indicating the exact location of the switches.
Push-button direct control for the switch-disconnector.
Access via the front of the cubicle.
Can be connected to all existing equipment and of a similar construction
(addition of base unit, top box or even ducting).
Continuity of service
Fluokit has LSC2A classification as per IEC 62271-200, giving it the

following advantages:
Low maintenance-fitted with a sealed-unit switch-disconnector.
Operating mechanism can be replaced without interrupting service.
Functions can be individually earthed without impact on the rest of the
switchboard.
Fluokit switchboard
Improved personnel safety

Designed with safety in mind, Fluokit is one of the safest medium voltage
switchboards on the market today:
Internal arc resistant as per IEC standards: AFL up to 20 kA 1 s ; AF up
to 25 kA 1 s.
Hot gas exhaust valves at the rear of the cubicle, protecting the operator
in the event of an internal fault.
Completely metallic outer casing, permanently earthed.
Clearly displayed switch-disconnector position and fuse status.
Earthing switch with making capacity and a visible indication of its
position via inspection windows in the cable compartment doors.
Mechanical interlocks stopping access to the cable compartment when
the earthing switch is open.
Full range of key and padlock-based locking devices.

Operating Interlockings
Interlocking of the functional units

During the development of the Fluokit switchboard, the accent was placed
on personnel safety and the reliability of the operation.
A locking system prevents any incorrect use.
Thus, the operating levers can only be inserted if the service status permits
it.
Access to the cables compartment and to the fuses is only possible if the
appropriate outgoing feeder is connected to earth.
These switchboards are fitted, as standard, with the following locks and
conform to the recommendations of

Operating mechanisms for ISR switch-disconnector

Operating principle
The operating mechanisms used are stored-energy type.
The energy required to operate them is stored in a compressed spring.
The manoeuvre, independent of operator involvement, takes place once
a dead-point is reached, either by pressing a local button, activating an
electro-magnet or a fuse striker actuating a latch.
Type Operating Principles Use

NOTE: The operating mechanisms include both the opening and closing mechanisms for earthing switches. Closure is
independent of an operator.
The positions of the earthing switch are always visible through the inspection ports on the front of the cubicle.
IMPORTANT: All operating mechanisms are interchangeable. A mechanism change can be carried out with the switch-
disconnector energised.

mechanisms
Operating mechanisms for orthofluor fp circuit-

breakers ORTHOFLUOR FP
These operating mechanisms use the energy stored by springs to close
and open the circuit-breaker. There are two types:
BLR: BLR: The operator manually executes a manoeuvre to prime the

control mechanisms spring. The spring is held in place by a latch, freed
manually by a mechanical button, causing:
The release of the spring,
The closing of the CB,
The arming of the trip spring, which is then held in place by a latch.
It is thus possible to open the circuit-breaker by freeing the trip spring latch
manually (mechanical button) or electrically (electro-magnet).
Note: With the circuit-breaker closed it is possible to rearm the closing
spring, which authorises a rapid re-closure cycle.
BLRM: A motorised BLR mechanism.

The closing spring is armed by a motor (arming time <15 s). The closure
and
opening are carried out electrically (electro-magnets).
Note: It is possible to manually arm, close and trip the circuit-breakers.
VEIVacuum L circuit-breaker operating mechanisms

These operating mechanisms use the energy stored by springs to close
and open the circuit-breaker. There are two types:
Manual: The operator manually executes a manoeuvre to prime the

control mechanisms spring. The spring is held in place by a latch, freed
manually by a mechanical button, causing:
The release of the spring,
The closing of the circuit-breaker.
The arming of the trip spring, now held in place by a latch.
It is thus possible to open the circuit-breaker by freeing the trip spring latch
manually (mechanical button) or electrically (electro-magnet).
Note: With the circuit-breaker closed it is possible to rearm the closing
spring, which authorises a rapid re-closure cycle.
Motorised: The closing spring is armed by a motor (arming time <15s).

Opening and closure operations are carried out electrically (electro-
magnets).
Note: - It is possible to manually arm, close and trip the circuit-breakers.

Technical characteristics Fuses compartment
Illustration of the various stages PF cubicle

of fitting a fuse to a PF cubicle The PF cubicle with HV fuse protection blows the fuse on detection of a
fault current without opening the switch-disconnector.
The other phases thus remain live.
PFA cubicle
The PFA cubicle with HV fuse protection combined with a switch-
disconnector opens the switch disconnector if a fuse blows.
Thus all phases are off-load.
The fuse is dedicated to this purpose only and is fitted with a striker, which,
via rods, triggers the operating mechanism opening.
Fuse access
Two earthing switches are used to replace fuses without having to use
auxiliary equipment:
One with making capacity, upstream of the fuses, and
One, without making capacity, downstream.
The two earthing switches are operated simultaneously by a single spring-
operated mechanism.
The interlocking guarantees maximum safety for the personnel during the
replacement of fuses. The fuse compartment panel can only be opened if
the cubicle has been earthed correctly. Inversely, the earthing can only be
removed once the fuse compartment panel is closed and locked.
1
Replacement of fuses
Access to the fuses is via the front panel of the cubicle with the door to the
cable compartment removed.
When a fault causes the blowing of one or two fuses, the characteristics
of the remaining fuses are decreased by the effects of the short circuit.
2
It is thus recommended that you replace all three fuses in a cubicle
(IEC 282-1).
Protecting capacity banks

Use fuses of a rated current value just above 1.8 x the rated current value
for the capacitor bank.

Short circuit indicator

Cubicles with outgoing feeders can be equipped, as an option, with DAX-I
short circuit indicators (manufacturer: Schneider Electric). Other brands are
available on request.
The short circuit indicators are parameterized as follows depending on their
type:
Detection of earth and phase faults.
Fault current measurement range: 100 to 1000 A.
DAX-I short circuit indicator. Earth fault current measurement range: 5 to 160 A.
Reaction time: 40 to 999 ms.
Manual or automatic reset.
Autonomous power supply using a battery with a 10-year service life.
Remote signalling contact,
CTOS toroidal type transformers acting as sensors for the short circuit
indicators are installed on the cables.
The DAX-I is integrated into the front panel in the low voltage part.
The DAX is integrated into the substation.
DAX short circuit indicator
Monitoring devices
The DMX is used to monitor various pieces of digital data transmitted by
the substation.
This device can, notably, process status information from the MV/LV
transformer, including temperatures, oil levels, etc. and transmit trip orders
and/or alarms depending on its pre-defined configuration.
The RS485 connection and Modbus protocol means that the DMX can be
fully controlled from a distance.
Monitoring devices
Directional short circuit indicator (D4X)

The D4X detects and shows the direction of a fault along the MV network.
This information is available internally (relays) and externally (green/red
indicators) and is used to provide a rapid location of a faulty section. Its
digital technology makes it very flexible.
The D4X is installed within the substation on compensated neutral
networks.

Preserve the equipment in its intact original factory packaging
Avoid leaving the material where it is likely to be subjected to large,
sudden temperature changes
Ensure that there is a total absence of aggressive vapours.
+ 50 C
The area chosen for storage must be capable of protecting the products
against possible damage due to deterioration agents, such as:
Water

All types of pollution
Micro-organisms.

Environment Sustainable development
Schneider has resolved to engage itself in a dynamic process of

sustainable development through 6 commitments:
To develop eco-design to reduce environmental impact of the products
during their lifetime
To reduce greenhouse effect gases related to SF6
To develop environmental management and safety
To participate in the local economy
To develop a responsible purchasing policy
To minimise impact on the environment by offering solutions allowing
renewable energies to be connected to electrical networks.
Eco-design and impact on the environment

Schneider Electric contributes efficiently to worldwide savings in terms of
energy resources.
Fluokit replies to a high degree of ecological requirements related to

environmental protection thanks to:
The optimisation of consumption of materials and energy during
manufacture
The compliance with all ecological requirements during the service life of
the product
The use of materials that can be recycled for an efficient valorisation.
A responsible design
Our construction directives relating to an ecological design specify the use
of materials that are easy to recycle and dismantle:
The majority of the metals in a Fluokit switchboard can be recycled, as
well as
all thermosetting plastics and thermoplastics.
All the materials have been selected and developed in such a way that, for
instance, a switchboard affected by a fire in a building has a minimal impact
on the load of the fire (development of heat and toxic substances in the
emissions).
Eco-declarations are available on request.
Environmental impact
The end-of-service life phase is considered a very important part of the life
cycle of Schneider Electric products. The environmental impact inherent
in the disposal of equipment is, sometimes, more polluting than that of the
manufacturing, delivery or utilisation phases. European directives, such
as WEEE, ELV and RoHS, have confirmed this point and all insist upon
the recovery of waste products and their valorisation at the end of the
equipments service life.
Even though our switchgear is not covered by this legislation,
Schneider Electric is willingly attempting to optimise recycling, the
processing of waste and, as a consequence, the end of service life phase
of our products, which is an integral part of the operating costs.

Environment End of service life processing
At the end of the Fluokits service life

The destruction of the Fluokit at the end of service life is possible. The
separation of the elements making up the switchgear will be made:
Either by disconnecting the mechanical linkages,
Or, by dismantling, that is to say, by breaking or shearing the
connections.
To guarantee efficient and ecological sorting and elimination of the

materials, all plastic components have been identified:
A description of the materials is supplied to the customer with
Information on the valorisation process, supplied to the companies in
charge of the recycling.
End of service life processing

Schneider Electric can help you in your Fluokit end-of-service-life
processing approach.
SF6 gas recovery

The volume of the insulating gas used in the Fluokit PGB corresponds
to about 0.13 % of the total weight of the switchboard. At the end of the
switchboards service life, in order to recycle the gas, it can be completely
evacuated using a suitable recovery unit. And for this, the suppliers of the
gas have developed an efficient recycling method.
Composition of the materials and valorisation at end

of service life
After disassembly (or dismantling), the recovered elements must be
forwarded for treatment in the following manner:
Waste processing
Type of Waste Destination Recommended processing
SF6 gas Supplier Recovery, storage and regeneration
Steel & Stainless steel Local recovery agent Shredding, sorting and recycling
Non-ferrous metals Local recovery agent Shredding, sorting and recycling
Epoxy Resin Cement plant Revalorisation at a lower added value
Thermoplastics Local recovery agent Incineration
Molecular sieve Authorised network Elimination
Soiled protective equipment Authorised network Incineration
Cables Local recovery agent Separation of sheathing and conductors
