System P up to 3200 A

Presentation

The Prisma Plus functional The Prisma Plus functional system can be used for all types of low-voltage
distribution switchboards (main, subdistribution and final) up to 3200 A, in
system commercial and industrial environments.
PD390342

Switchboard design is very simple.

A metal structure
The switchboard is made up of one or more frameworks combined side-by-side or
back-to-back, on which a complete selection of cover panels and doors can be
mounted.
A distribution system
Horizontal busbars or vertical busbars positioned in a lateral compartment or at the
rear of the cubicle are used to distribute electricity throughout the switchboard.
Complete functional units
Each device is part of a functional unit comprising:
b a dedicated mounting plate for device installation
b a front plate to block direct access to live parts
b prefabricated busbar connections
b devices for on-site connections.
Each functional unit contributes to a function in the switchboard.
The functional units are modular and are arranged rationally, one on top of another,
within the enclosure.
The system includes everything required for functional unit mounting, supply and on-
site connection.
All front plates for the functional units can be used as partial door by simple provision
of hinges (hinges available as accessory, refer page 102).
The hinged front plate can be interlocked with Direct Rotary Handle of breakers by
addition of accessory "MCC Conversion".
The components of the Prisma Plus system and those of the functional units in
particular have been designed and tested taking into account device characteristics.
This design approach ensures a high degree of reliability in system operation and
optimum safety for personnel.

Functional units are arranged rationally, one on top of another.

Advantages of Prisma Plus A dependable electrical installation

The total compatibility of Schneider devices with the Prisma Plus system is a key
switchboards advantage in ensuring a high level of installation dependability.
System design has been validated by type tests as per standard IEC 60439-1 and
benefits from the combined experience of Schneider customers over many years.
An upgradeable electrical installation
Thanks to modular design, Prisma Plus switchboards can be modified easily to
integrate new functional units as needed.
Maintenance operations, carried out with the switchboard de-energised, are fast and
straight-forward due to easy access to devices.
Total safety for personnel
Work in a switchboard must be carried out by authorised persons in compliance with
all applicable safety regulations.
To increase the safety of personnel, devices are installed behind protective front
plates; only the operating handles are accessible. Additional internal protection
(partitions, barriers) is available to create form 2, 3 or 4 separation to protect against
direct contacts with live parts.
Terminal shields are mandatory for installation of Compact NS and INS/INV devices
in Prisma Plus enclosures.
Electrical switchboards built using the Prisma Plus functional system and
Schneider recommendations fully comply with international standard
IEC 60439-1.

Electrical characteristics Use of the components in the Prisma Plus functional system ensures the creation of
switchboards complying with standards IEC 50298, EN 50298, IEC 60439-1 and
EN 60439-1, as well as local versions with the following electrical characteristics:
b rated insulation level of main busbars: 1000 V
b rated operational current Ie: 3200 Amps.
b rated peak withstand current Ipk: 187 kÂ
b rated short-time withstand current Icw: 85 kA rms / 1 second
b frequency: 50/60 Hz.

System P Compact / Masterpact

Catalogue numbers

Source changeover General

To ensure the supply of energy at all times, certain electrical installations are
DD381669

connected to two sources:

b the normal source
b the replacement source that steps in to supply the installation if the normal source
is not available.
A mechanical and/or electrical interlocking system between two Interpact, Compact
or Masterpact switch-disconnectors or circuit breakers (or a mixture) avoids
simultaneous connection of the two sources during switching.
The source-changeover system can be:
b manual when the devices are mechanically interlocked
b remote operated when there is also an electrical interlocking system
b automatic, by adding an automatic controller that manages switching from one
source to another according to a number of external parameters.

Manual source-changeover system

This is the most simple system. A human operator is required and consequently, the
transfer from the normal source to the replacement source is delayed.
A manual source-changeover system comprises two or three manually controlled
devices (circuit breakers or switch-disconnectors) that are mechanically interlocked.
The interlocking system avoids simultaneous connection (even transient) of the two
sources.

Remote-operated source-changeover system

This is the most commonly used system. No human intervention is required.
The transfer from the normal to the replacement source is managed electrically.
A remote-operated source-changeover system is made up of two or three devices
linked by an electrical interlocking system implemented in a number of manners.
Device control is backed up by a mechanical interlocking system that protects
against the consequences of an electrical malfunction and inhibits incorrect manual
operation.

Automatic source-changeover system

When a remote-operated source-changeover system is combined with an automatic
controller, the sources can be controlled automatically according to a number of
programmed operating modes.
This solution provides optimum energy management:
b switching to a replacement source depending on any external conditions
b management of sources
b regulation
b emergency source replacement, etc.
A communications function for dialogue with a supervisor is available for the
automatic controller.

See catalogue ref. : ART 29770 "Source-changeover systems for circuit breakers
and switch disconnectors 40 to 5000 A".

A rigid modular rail
Made using an aluminium alloy, the rail design is extremely rigid. The rail supports
PD390566

are crimp mounted.

Fast mounting
The rail supports have positioning studs to guide the rail on the framework.
Only two mounting screws are required.
Multiple functions
A number of devices clip directly onto the rails, including 80 A and 200 A Multiclip
distribution blocks, all horizontal cable-running accessories such as cable straps and
trunking supports, as well as the supports for earth bars.
What is more, for cable running to the terminal block at the top or bottom of the
cubicle, the supports are designed to allow the passage to two vertical trunking
sections on the left and right.
Supply from all directions
Supply to the rows, using comb busbars or Multiclip distribution blocks, can be via:
b flat or Powerclip insulated busbars installed behind the devices
b flat or Linergy busbars installed in a busbar compartment.

Distribution
80 and 200 A Multiclip distribution blocks
b fast and secure front connection using spring terminals
b reliable connections, will not loosen over time, insensitive to vibrations and thermal
variations
b all types of modular devices can be mixed
b easy balancing of phases
b interchangeable devices
b easy installation upgrades
b fully insulated (IPxxB).

Presentation
DD382308

Schneider Electric offers power factor correction equipment that integrates perfectly
in Prisma Plus switchboards.
The power factor correction modules are installed horizontally in a cubicle and
electrically interconnected by a set of front busbars.
The busbars are supplied by a protection device installed outside the cubicle.
Special Prisma Plus cubicles are used for power factor correction, given the
temperature rise inside the cubicles.
They comply with and are tested according to standard IEC 60439-1.

Installation
Mounting plates are equipped with the power factor correction modules, made up of
a contactor, the corresponding protection fuses and a set of busbars.
They are installed in a 650 mm wide cubicle that is either 400 or 600 mm deep
depending on the depth of the switchboard to which it will be added.
Each cubicle can be equipped with up to six standard or type H power factor
correction modules or up to five type SAH power factor correction modules,
positioned one above the other.
The cubicle has a ventilated roof that can be equipped with one or two fans.
The door has cut-outs, one for the Varlogic power factor controller and another in the
bottom for a filter.

50 mm high).
The discreet design, with simple lines and
oval shapes in the RAL 9001 colour, mean
Prisma Plus cubicles blend in naturally on all
commercial and industrial sites.
They offer 36 modules, each 50 mm high, of
useful space.

L The framework
PD390573

The framework is both light and rigid due to the closed sections used for the uprights.
The compact design of the framework means there is 15% more space available for
devices.
There are no sharp edges.
Assembly is particularly fast with only 12 screws, all directly accessible.
Uprights have wing holes every 25 mm.
A measuring tape can be hooked to a slot marking the starting point for
measurements on the heights required to mount devices. Marks every 50 mm and
double marks every 100 mm make it easy to count modules.
The floor fixing kit can also be used to level the cubicles.

useful space for devices.
For 800 mm wide cubicles, the doors are supplied with a 150 mm wide barrier to
block access to the busbars.
A wide range of locks are available for the "push and pull" handle.

Polypact distribution block Presentation

Polypact is a horizontal distribution block. It connects directly to the mounting plate
PD390569

and can supply:

b three four-pole and four three-pole Compact NS circuit breakers, whatever the
ratings (100, 160 or 250 A), the operating systems (toggle, rotary handle, motor
mechanism), whether fixed or plug-in, front or rear connection (the circuit breakers
must be equipped with long terminal shields downstream)
b three three-pole or four-pole Interpact INS switch-disconnectors, whatever the
ratings (100, 160 or 250 A), whether front or rear connection.
The design and small size blend perfectly with the devices.
It can be supplied by flat or Linergy busbars positioned to the left or right.
A dependable switchboard
PD390570

Fully insulated, Polypact contributes to the safety of life and property.

The prefabricated connections supplied separately are secured using torque nuts to
ensure the correct tightness over time, without maintenance.
Numerous and well distributed vents ensure natural convection and optimum cooling
of the conductors.
An upgradeable switchboard
The circuit breakers can be easily connected from the front. It is simple to
interchange a device or to add a device in a reserve slot.
Functional features
There are markings (N, L1, L2, L3) on the front and the sides for the phases.
The running of auxiliary cables between the devices and the corresponding terminal
DD381246

blocks is also taken into account. Spacious trunking is built into the blocks for
the auxiliary wiring.

The factors that must be taken into account in determining the size of busbars
Busbar sizing include:
b the diversity factor.
Not all the loads supplied by a set of busbars are used at full rated load or at the same
time. The diversity factor is the means to determine the maximum load current used
to size the busbars.
Standard IEC 60439-1 §4.7 specifies the table below.

2 and 3 0.9
4 and 5 0.8
6 to 9 0.7

Characteristics

The maximum load current for a set of busbars is a function of the thermal
Busbars environment.
The type and the size of the conductors must be determined in view of carrying the
DD381459

required currents taking into account the temperatures reached in the switchboard.
These conductors are subjected to additional heat rise caused by the flowing current
(joule effect) and the connected devices.
The temperatures reached by the conductors and the insulating materials, etc. must
not exceed the maximum temperatures for which the products were designed.
Merlin Gerin busbars and distribution blocks are sized to operate without any
particular constraints for the assemblies in Prisma Plus switchboards operating
under normal environmental conditions (standard switchboard configuration, etc.).

To determine the required flat busbars, see the tables on page 172 (horizontal
busbars) and on page 174 (vertical busbars)
DD381460

They can be used to determine:

b the permissible current as a function of:
v the size of the busbars
v the number of bars
v the ambient temperature around the switchboard
v the IP value.

Supply of devices To determine the required sizes for flexible bars, see the tables starting on page 208,
for outgoers y 630 A which indicate the correct size for each type of connected device.
b an insulated flexible bar (not connected) must meet standards IEC 60243-1
(dielectric), NFC 32201 (insulation) and IEC 60332-1 (fire)
b a flexible bar connected to a device in an enclosure must comply with standard
IEC 60439-1.
Cables
To determine the cables required, see the table on page 209.
They can be used to determine:
b the size of cables as a function of:
v the circuit breaker rating
v the current
v the ambient temperature around the switchboard
b the permissible current for individually tied cables or touching cables as a function
of:
v the size of the cables
v the degree of protection for the switchboard.

To determine the required size of the PE conductor, see page 211.

Two possibilities:
b either the equation indicated by standard IEC 60439-1 to obtain an optimised
value:

Example
v Isc = 36 kA rms C the value of the phase-to-earth fault current = 60 % of the value
of the phase-to-phase fault current (standard IEC 60439-1 §8.2.4.2), i.e.:
36 x 0.6 = 21.6 kA
v maximum time delay for the control unit: 0.5 s
v k = 143 for copper conductors with PVC insulation.
The calculation is therefore:

Example
Two 50 x 10 mm bars can be used for a 2160 A current with an IP y 31 and an
ambient temperature of 30°C around the switchboard.

Where possible, use of 10 mm bars is worthwhile in terms of the In/Isc:

b gain in time during switchboard mounting given, where applicable, the lesser
number of bars installed
b for short-circuits, the rigidity of the bars means fewer busbar supports.

Recommendation
Use 5 mm bars for In y 1600 A and low Icw values (40 kA rms).
Use 10 mm bars for In > 1600 A and medium to high Icw values
(> 40 kA rms).

Characteristics

Flexible copper bars with an Switchboards that comply with standard IEC 60439-1
It is imperative to use the values indicated below that have been validated for the
insulating sheath installation of devices in Prisma Plus switchboards.
The parameters determining the size of flexible bars are:
b the environment in which the devices are installed:
v position in the enclosure
v dimensions of other conductors in the circuit
v ambient temperature around the switchboard
b the characteristics of the connected devices:
v device heat losses
v the type of installation (horizontal or vertical)
v the type of device (fixed or withdrawable).

Only the equipment manufacturer with in-depth knowledge on:

b the characteristics of the installed devices
b the configuration of the installation in the enclosure
can provide the correct sizes of flexible bars for a given permissible current.
Insulated, flexible bars make for easy, fast and flexible implementation up to 630 A,
but higher ratings require sizes that cancel these advantages.
For high Isc values, it is advised to use rigid bars which require fewer supports.

Insulated flexible bars are better than cables, they offer:

b better insulation temperature withstand (125°C for bars, 105°C for cables) and a
larger exchange surface for an equivalent size, i.e. a smaller size for a given current
b greater rigidity offering better electrodynamic characteristics for short-circuit
currents
b no intermediate parts (lugs) for a direct connection between the device and the
busbars therefore less temperature rise and less risk of error
b fast implementation of prefabricated connections already cut to length, formed and
drilled.
Technical characteristics
b thickness of the insulation: variable depending on the bar size, 2 mm on average
b rated insulation level Ui = 1000 V
b impulse withstand voltage Uimp = 12 kV
b maximum withstand temperature of insulating material = 125°C.

Connection In all cubicles with IP y 55

Standard IEC 60529 (IP code, February 2001) indicates the degrees of protection
Degree of protection IP provided by an enclosure for electrical devices against access to hazardous parts,
against penetration of solid foreign objects and against penetration of water.
These standards do not apply for the protection against the risks of explosion or
conditions such a humidity, corrosive vapour, fungus or vermin.
The IP code is made up of two characteristic numerals and can include an additional
letter when the actual protection for persons against access to the hazardous parts
is better than that indicated by the first numeral.
The first numeral characterises the protection provided against the ingress of solid
foreign objects and the protection of persons.
The second numeral characterises the protection provided against the ingress of
water with harmful effects.

A switchboard is designed for operation under normal ambient conditions.

Most devices do not operation correctly outside a temperature range of -10 and
+70°C.
It is therefore important to maintain the switchboard internal temperature within this
temperature range by:
b correctly sizing the switchboard during design
b correcting the temperature using suitable means.

temperature Important note
Correct thermal management of the switchboard depends on compliance with
the installation requirements for the distribution system (power circuits).
Incorrect installation will have major consequences on the connected device, but
almost none on the internal temperature of the enclosure.
Once the circuit has been correctly sized, it is necessary to check whether the
assembly (devices + distribution system + cables) have a level of dissipated power
P(W) y the P(W) that the enclosure can handle.

Method defined by IEC 890 technical report

DD381401

This IEC guide for switchboards proposes a calculation method to determine three
levels of internal temperature, depending on the dissipated power of the devices and
distribution blocks installed in the switchboard.
Users can consult this document when it is necessary to determine precisely the
internal temperature in view of optimising the switchboard.

On request, Schneider Electric can carry out a thermal study to check that the
installed assembly and the thermal capacity of the enclosure are compatible.

Comparative method
DD381350

A number of qualified and tested configurations serve as the basis for indicating the
thermal capacity of Prisma Plus enclosures.
This is en empirical means to check whether the dissipated power of the desired
configuration is close to that of a tested configuration.

Method using charts taking into account enclosure characteristics

To speed up calculations, Schneider Electric produces charts based on the
DD382422

company's experience and a number of assumptions on the installation.

They can be used sufficiently precisely to determine the variations in temperature
and the dissipated-power levels for the different types of wall-mount enclosures,
floor-standing enclosures and cubicles.

Application of the diversity factor In the configuration below, the standardised diversity factor (K div.) for a total of 14
outgoing circuits is 0.6, i.e. 60 % of In for each outgoing circuit.
Merlin Gerin prefers a more conservative approach and therefore divides the
installation into four main circuits:
b NS250
b 200 A Multiclip: 8 outgoers V K div. = 0.7
b Polypact: 4 outgoers V K div. = 0.8
b NS400.
1 NS250 + 1 Multiclip 200 A + 1 Polypact + 1 NS400 V 4 outgoers, i.e. a diversity
factor of 0.8.
As a result, the current flowing in each circuit is at least 70% and up to 80% of In.

Once the dissipated power of the devices has been determined and the enclosure
with its IP selected, transfer the results (sum of the dissipated power and width of the
device zone) to the chart corresponding to the enclosure IP.

DD382423

Draw a line parallel to the others on the chart and read the corresponding difference
in temperature.
For the given example, the heat rise is 22°C at mid-height in the enclosure.
The internal temperature= external temperature + heat rise
= 35°C + 22°C = 57°C
57°C < 60°C stipulated by the standard, i.e. the result is acceptable for an IP3
cubicle.
This gives roughly:
Internal temperature = 60°C at mid-height in the enclosure for a low IP value.
Internal temperature = 70°C at mid-height in the enclosure for a high IP value.

The chart below can be used to determine the necessary throughput, based on the
dissipated power, the difference in temperature (internal - external) and the exposed
surface area of the enclosure.

Example
Consider an IP3X cubicle, 650 mm wide and 400 mm deep, containing components
(devices, connections, busbars, etc.) dissipating 1000 W.
The ambient temperature around the cubicle is 50°C.
Given that the average temperature at mid-height should not exceed 60°C, the
difference in temperature ∆T is equal to 60 - 50 = 10°C.
The exposed surface of the cubicle (non adjacent to a wall or other cubicle)
is 4.46 m².
(back = 1.3 m², front = 1.3 m², roof = 0.26 m², side panels = 1.6 m²).
What is the necessary throughput of the ventilation system?
The throughput can be calculated as:
