PTSI / IDS / PTD M
Peace of Mind: How ?
Fulfilling all mandatory type tests requirements

of new IEC 62271-200
1. Tests to verify the insulation level

( power frequency and impulse ).
2. Temperature rise and measurement of resistance of circuit.
3. Tests to prove the withstand capability of main and earthing circuits

subjected to rated peak and short time withstand currents.
4. Test to prove the making and breaking capacity of the

circuit breaker inside the switchgear panel.
PTSI / IDS / PTD M
Fulfilling all the mandatory type tests requirements

of new IEC 62271-200
5. Test to prove the satisfactory operation of

switching devices and removable parts.
6. Tests to verify the protection of persons against

access to hazardous parts and the protection of
the equipment against solid foreign objects
The stringent requirement of

Internal arc testing as outlined in new IEC

PTSI / IDS / PTD M
Preventive Mechanical Interlocks
1. Operation of switching device

is possible only when the switching
device truck is in end position.
2. Moving of switching device truck

from SERVICE to TEST is possible
only when the switching device is
switched OFF.

Saves Lives: How ?
All operations behind closed door
1. All switching operations including

emergency manual operations.
2. Feeder earthing.
3. Rack-in / rack-out operation of

Switching device truck.
4. Emergency manual charging of

VCB operating mechanism.
PTSI / IDS / PTD M
Saves Lives: How ?
Front door interlocks
1. Racking of VCB truck from Test to

Service position not possible until
the front door is closed and locked.
2. Front door cannot be closed and

locked until the LV control plug is
securely connected.
3. Front door cannot be opened until

the VCB is switched OFF and
racked out in Test position.
PTSI / IDS / PTD M
Saves Lives: How ?
Partition class: PM
1. Earthed metallic shutters and partitions

ensure partition class PM.
2. Class PM ensures no electric field

in the opened compartment and no
electrical field change in the adjacent
compartments.
3. Thus partition class PM ensures

safe maintenance when the switching
device chamber is opened while
keeping the busbars as well as cables
under charged conditions.
PTSI / IDS / PTD M
Saves Lives: How ?
1. What is an internal arc?

It is a high resistance arc fault within the switchgear
enclosure due to insulation failure.
2. What are the effects of an internal arc fault?

The fault current passing through the electric arc increases the
air temperature inside the faulty compartment.
The hot air expands and exerts very high pressure on the
compartment walls and doors. If the switchgear is not
designed and qualified for an internal arc, the high pressure
can rupture the enclosure and endangers the life of
persons working near the switchgear.
PTSI / IDS / PTD M
Saves Lives: How ?
This is what will happen if the switchgear

is not designed and qualified for internal arc.
Imagine what will happen to your operator.

PTSI / IDS / PTD M
Saves Lives: How ?
What happens when there is an arc fault in an Internal Arc

Classified switchgear as per IEC 62271-200.
1. Correctly secured door and covers do not open.

2. No fragmentation of the enclosure occurs within the time
specified for the test.
3. Arcing doesn’t cause holes in the accessible sides up to a
height of 2 m.
4. Cotton test indicators do not ignite due to the effect of
hot gases.
5. The enclosure remains connected to its earthing point.
PTSI / IDS / PTD M
Saves Lives: How ?
Vacuum Circuit Breaker means no explosion is possible.
