Testing
SafeGear is design tested per IEEE C37.20.2 and in-
cludes the following production tests:
• One second dielectric test of 1800 VAC for control
circuits
• Control circuit verification
• Instruments energized via the low voltage winding
of instrument transformers and operated through
ratings ranges.
• Mechanical check for breaker alignment and inter-
lock verification
• Power frequency withstand test from phase to
phase and phase to ground
• Static circuit check
• Relays checked for proper performance character-
istics
• Ratio and interconnection check for potential
transformers
• Polarity verification for current transformers
Factory witness testing is also available on request.

Configuration software
Medium Voltage Pro (MVP) has been developed to
be a switchgear design tool and helps design of-
fices in creating a switchgear lineup including front
elevations and floor plans. A version of this soft-
ware is available for consultants and designers.
Please contact your local ABB representative for
more information.

Arrangement rules
• Every lineup must contain at least one (1) 57-inch
instrument compartment for every seven (7)
frames in order to provide a path to the plenum
for arc ventilation.
• 2000 A lineups require at least one (1) 57-inch in-
strument compartment for every two (2) 2000 A
breakers in order to provide a path to the plenum
for heat ventilation
• CPTs greater than 15 kVA single-phase require a
draw-out fuse unit with stationary mounted CPT.
• 4000 A breakers must have located, in their own
frame, a 57-inch instrument compartment directly
above the breaker.
