Talus 200: an interface designed
for telecontrol of MV networks
Talus 200 is a «plug and play» and multifunction interface that integrates all the
functional features necessary for remote supervision and control of the RM6
c acquisition of the different types of information: switch position, fault detectors,
current values
c transmission of switch open/close orders,
c exchanges with the control center.
Required particularly during outages in the network, Talus 200 is of proven reliability
and availability, being able to ensure switchgear operation at any moment.
It is simple to set up and to operate

Insensitivity to the environment
Integral insulation
c A metal enclosure made of stainless steel, which is unpainted and gas-tight
(IP67), contains the live parts of the switchgear and the busbars;
c Three sealed fuse chambers, which are disconnectable and metallized on the
outside, insulate the fuses from dust, humidity....;
c Metallization of the fuse chambers and controlled field terminal connectors
confines the electrical field in the solid insulation.
Taken together, the above elements provide the RM6 with genuine total insulation
which makes the switchgear completely insensitive to environmental conditions,
dust, extreme humidity, temporary flooding.
(IP67: immersion for 30 mn, in compliance with IEC standard 60529, § 14.2.7).
Operating safety
Cable insulation test
In order to test cable insulation or look for faults, it is possible to inject a direct
current of up to 42 kVdc for 15 minutes through the cables via the RM6, without
disconnecting the connecting devices.
The earthing switch is closed and the moving earthing connection is opened in order
to inject the voltage via the "earthing covers". This system, a built-in feature of the
RM6, requires the use of injection fingers (supplied as an option).

Transformer protection
Using fuse-switches
Fuse dimensions Ratings for fuses for transformer protection depend, among other points, on the
following criteria:
c service voltage,
c transformer rating,
c thermal dissipation of the fuses,
c fuse technology (manufacturer),
Two types of fuse may be installed:
c Solefuse type: according to UTE NFC 64.210 standard, with striker,
c Fusarc CF type: according to DIN 43.625 dimensional standard, with striker.
Example (using the selection table below) general case, for protection of a 400 kVA
transformer at 10 kV, either Soléfuse fuses with a rating of 63 A or Fusarc CF fuses
with a rating of 50 A are chosen.
Selection table
(rating in A, no overload, - 25°C < θ < 40°C)
14
Using a 200 A circuit breaker
In contrast to fuses, the circuit breaker has no minimum breaking current, which
means that it is particularly well-adapted to transformer protection.
Protection system
The protection system operates without an auxiliary power supply, and includes:
c 3 transformers with integrated toroids on the transformer feeder bushings
VIP 30 VIP 35 c 1 VIP 30 or VIP 35 electronic relay,
c 1 release,
c 1 test connector to check whether
the protection unit is operating correctly, using the VAP 6 unit.
Description:
c the relays are assembled in a housing, and the front faces are protected by a
transparent cover. The whole assembly has a degree of protection of IP54.
c settings are made on the front, using rotary switches.
c the phase operating current is adjusted directly according to the transformer rating
and the operating voltage..
c the earth current set point is adjusted according to the network characteristics.
Phase protection:
c phase protection is provided by an IDMT set point which operates as of 1.2 times
the operating current (Is). VIP 30 and VIP 35 phase protections are identical.
Earth protection:
c earth fault protection operates with measurement of the residual current carried out
using the sum of currents from the secondary windings of the sensors.
c earth protection operates in definite time: both its set point and time delay are
adjustable.
15
Line protection
Description
The operating principle of the protection unit is the same as for the VIP30 and VIP35
relays.
Phase protection:
c phase protection has two independently adjustable set points:
v either an IDMT or definite low set point can be selected. The IDMT curves are in
conformity with the IEC 255-3 standard. They are of the inverse, very inverse and
extremely inverse type
v the high set point is a definite time one.
Earth protection:
c earth fault protection operates with measurement of the residual current carried out
using the sum of the secondary currents of the sensors
c as with phase protection, earth protection has two independently adjustable set
points.
Indication
c two indicators show the origin of tripping (phase or earth). They remain in position
after the relay power supply is cut off
c two LED indicators (phase and earth) indicate that the low set point has been
exceeded and its time delay is in progress.

settings t> (or to>).
c The phase protection and earth protection curves are identical

17
Connection selection table
General
c The profiles, contacts and dimensions of the RM6 connection interfaces are
defined by the PR EN50181 and HN 52.S 61 standards.
c 100% of the epoxy resin interfaces undergo dielectric testing at power frequency
and partial discharge tests.
Installation
c current rating of the connected equipment: 200, 400, 630 A
c short-time withstand current for 12.5 kA, 16 kA, 25 kA switch and circuit breaker
functions
c for the fuse-switch combination function, as the short-circuit current is limited by
the fuse, the connection interface will be of type A (200 A)
c minimum phase expansion length
c connector type
v plug-in: multicontact ring
v disconnectable: bolted
c output position: straight, elbow
Options
v panel with hood for display of liquid type overcurrent indicators installed around
the cables,
v panel for connectors with surge arrestor,
v interlocking which prevent access to the connection compartment when the
earthing switch is open,
v interlocking which prevent closing of the switch or circuit breaker when the
connection compartment panel is open,
v bottom plate for single-core or 3-core cables (mandatory for non-directed field
connections),
v cable compartment internal arc withstand up to 16 kA 1s.

Installation, maintenance
Phase concordance unit
This unit is used to check phase concordance.
It can be connected to any voltage indicator lamp device.
Local operation
Voltage indicator lamp
There is a voltage indicator device on network switches, circuit breakers and fuse-
switch combinations, which makes it possible to check whether cables are lined or not.
Two devices are offered:
c Voltage Indication System (VIS) IEC 61958: a unit comprising three integrated
lamps,
c Voltage Detection System (VDS) IEC 61234-5: a unit with sockets for plugging in
individual lamps.
Power is supplied to these lamps by capacitor dividers incorporated inside the
bushings.
Short-circuit indicator
Each switch can be fitted with an Alpha type short-circuit indicator (Hortsmann).
If an RM6 is operated remotely, this function is integrated into the Talus 200
telecontrol interface.

Motor mechanism
Switch operating mechanism:
c the switch operating mechanism includes a space that is reserved for the
installation of a geared motor. This can be installed at the factory, but it can also be
installed on-site, by the customer, without de-energizing the unit, and without
dismantling the operating mechanism
c an electrical interlocking assembly prevents any false operations.
Once motorized, the RM6 integrates perfectly into a telecontrol system
Auxiliary contacts
Each switch or circuit breaker can be fitted with 4 auxiliary contacts with the following
positions: 2 N/O and 2 N/F.
Each earthing switch can be fitted with 1 position auxiliary contact (opening/closing).
