General description
Cable compartment
The cable connection compartment, located at the bottom
part of the cubicle, is interlocked such that front access to the
medium voltage cables is not allowed until the main circuit
is earthed. This compartment is prepared to withstand an
internal arc in terminals up to 5 kA - 1 s, meeting the criteria
of Annex A of Standard IEC 62271-200, class IAC: AF, AFL or
AFLR.
Both voltage and current transformers can be housed inside
the cable compartment.
Figure 1.4. Cable compartment detail
All the elements making up the enclosure are earthed
by means of a conductor consisting of a copper bar,
sized to withstand the rated short-time current. This is
located in the cable compartment, it does not need to
be dismantled in order to insert or remove a cable and
its corresponding termination.
