All functional units in the Minifluor switchgear range Arc detectors

with IAC AFLR internal arc proof design are equipped Upon request, Minifluor switchgears can be fitted
with flaps that open as a result of the overpressure with various types of sensors which, if properly
caused by the internal arc and ensure that the gas located on the functional units of the switchgear
and any incandescent particles are channelled into assembly, can immediately detect a fault and
a rear evacuation duct (90mm deep) so to avoid any selectively open the circuit breakers.
injury to persons, in compliance with the IEC 62271- The effectiveness of such devices mainly lies in its
200 standard, class A accessibility. prompt detection and elimination of faults in next-
to-no time, thus reducing the occurrence of faults
on the equipment, as well as limiting the damage.
In order to guarantee the above, the panels need
to be installed according to the IEC 62271-200
standard, (see the paragraph “INSTALLATION”, on

 Installation
Preparation and fixing procedure
The switchgear can be fixed directly to the floor or onto special iron anchors embedded in the floor (which can
be provided at an extra charge). Before installing the switchgear, special wireways need to be prepared to allow
the passage of the cables under each unit. If there are no wireways or floating floor, a base frame will need to be
purchased from the range of available accessories. In all cases, the fixing surface needs to be absolutely leveled.
The ground plan of the foundations (according to the dimensions of the compartment) is shown in the pictures
below together with details of the fixing procedure.

Installation room
The installation room needs to be prepared according to the dimensions and versions of the switchgear assemblies.
If the height values indicated are followed strictly, this will ensure that the equipment operates correctly. If the
installation conditions differ from those shown, our technical department should be contacted.

For the version with internal arc protection, the minimum height value to be
complied with is 600 mm (H1) from the top of the compartment to the ceiling
of the room in accordance with the provisions in the IEC 62271-200 standard.

Connecting the medium voltage cables
MINIFLUOR compartments are equipped for the connection of a single-
pole cable per medium voltage phase with solid, elastomeric extruded
insulation (G7 type cables). For certification, traditional medium
