Field for application
The HXGN15-36 is made up of modular units containing fixed or withdrawable metal-enclosed SF6
switchgear, using sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) or vacuum:
1) switch-disconnector;
2) LNR, SF1 SF6 circuit breaker, VS1C vacuum circuit breaker;
3) JZ-36, or Rollarc 400 or 400 D contactor;
4) disconnector.
HXGN15-36 units are used for the MV section in MV/LV transformer substations in public
distribution systems and MV consumer or distribution substations up to 36 kV.
Operating conditions
HXGN15-36 units are designed for indoor installations (IP2XC).
Their compact dimensions are:
1) 750 mm to 1100 mm wide;
2) 2250 mm high;
3) 1400 mm deep…
this makes for easy installation in small rooms or prefabricated substations. Cables are connected via
the front.
All control functions are centralised on a front plate, thus simplifying operation.The units may be
equipped with a number of accessories (relays, toroids, instrument transformers, surge arrestor,
telecontrol, etc.).

Structure & Basic Components of Ring Main Unit
**** 5 parts for the unit type SF6 ring main unit:
1) switch cubicle
switch-disconnector and earthing switch in an enclosure filled
with SF6 and satisfying "sealed pressure system" requirements.
2) bus-bar cubicle
all in the same horizontal plane, thus enabling later switchboard
extensions and connection to existing equipment.
3) connection cubicle
accessible through front, connection to the lower switch-disconnector
and earthing switch terminals (IM cubicles) or the lower fuse-holders (PM and
QM cubicles). This compartment is also equipped with an earthing switch downstream
from the MV fuses for the protection units.
4) operation mechanism, interlocking
contains the elements used to operate the switchdisconnector
and earthing switch and actuate the corresponding indications
(positive break).
5) Low voltage cubicle (upper & lower enclosure structure)
installation of a terminal block (if motor option installed), LV fuses and compact relay devices. If more Best solution for your power! space is required, an additional enclosure may be added on top of the cubicle.
6) Optional
switch cubicles (IM) can also be fitted with:
1) control motorisation;
2) surge arrestors.
Description
The complete unit includes the upper unit & the lower unit, the
upper unit by bus-bar cubicle, load switch, operating mechanism
cubicle and low-pressure cubicle, which can be assembled to be
a complete cabinet with the cable cubicle of lower unit, also
separated from the lower unit (see the picture). It is safe and (Operation& LV cubicle)
convenient to check & repair and reconstruct the equipment inside the upper unit and can be realized
to replace the entire upper unit if necessary.
VCB & SF6 CB can be selected.
Ring Main Unit Structure HXGN15-36 type switchgear unit is developed and produced by the company itself according to the
requirement of domestic electrical system through absorbing the foreign technology, the main
components of which are all the imported original binding.
The switchgear has double-fracture, switching on/off and earth switch, reversible contactor,
with SF6 as arc extinguishing medium. Reversible contactor lies in the die casting epikote crust that
strengthens the structure.
Every switch is permanently sealed after charged by SF6 gas, the gas leakage can be detected by
helium detector.
It is not limited for the vertical or horizontal installation, the typical installation inside the ring main unit is
to place a separating steel plate between cable chamber for the horizontal installation, which isolates
the bus-bar from cable connector to conform with the most strict
safety requirement for running maintenance.
There are a weak point of structure behind the crust, in case inside happens the arcing when the load
switch breaks and makes current, it would be pushed open, then the arc leakage valve on the top of
cabinet is pushed open to lead the over-pressure gas flow out of cabinet.

Operating Mechanism
***Double-function and single-spring operation mechanism: K style
Function of switching ON/OFF:
Switch ON / OFF independently by operating by manually or motor
Earth switch function:
Switch on / off independently by operating lever, the operation energy is provided by compressed
spring, connector would be on or off after the spring released.
***Double-function and double-spring operation mechanism: A style
Function of switching on/off:
Switch on / off independently by operating lever and motor, the operation energy is provided by
compressed spring, connector would be on or off after the spring released.
Switch on / off independently by button (O) or tripping unit or tripping device.
*** Earth switch function
Switch on / off independently by operating lever, the operation energy is provided by compressed
spring, connector would be on or off after the spring released.
Transportation, Maintenance and Order
***Transportation and Storage
The switch cabinet can be transported by fork truck if guaranteed to be fixed on the bottom plate, and
by handling or removing the entire entity if not fixed on bottom plate, but any case it should be
transported vertically, no allowance for inversion in order not to damage the internal components.
The switch cabinet(even for that with outer package) should not be exposed outside for storage for a
long time. The switch cabinet that needs the long-term storage should be put in the dry and ventilate
indoor warehouse. The period of validity of outer package of switch cabinet is normally no more than 1
year.
***Maintenance
Ring main unit is free of maintenance for 3 years under the normal conditions.
There is no need of maintenance and any lubrication for the single-spring and dual-spring operation
mechanism of load switch.
The relay protection device should be checked by the requirement of the manufacturer before put into
the running.
The maintenance periodicity for ring main unit is normally one time every year.
Maintenance by the below requirement:
Fasten all the electrical connectors (main bus bar, switch, cable, measuring meter) required by
Installation and Operation Instruction.
Clean all the parts by dust collector (main switch, auxiliary switch, tripping mechanism, motor etc.) and
check the appearance.
Have a switching on/off operation for all switches including earth switch.
Turn on auxiliary control electric source not giving the remote control signal to have a electrical order
operation.
Clean the busbar cubicle and cable cubicle.
