Personal and system safety – play it safe Ensuring a safe and reliable electricity supply is the central requirement of low-voltage switchgear combinations, as well as a general prerequisite for economic performance. A high level of safety is a central feature of all TriLine-R switchgear systems.

Customer requests and market demands were taken into account in the development of TriLine‑R, resulting in a type-tested switchgear system developed in accordance with the relevant specifications of DIN EN 60439-1, with a rated current of up to 4,000 A. All type tests were carried out by a independent testing institution. The results and test conditions are confirmed in test reports, and are a prerequisite for the production of type-tested low-voltage switchgear assemblies (TTA). These TTA tests provide planners, panel builders, engineers and operators in industrial and service sectors with the highest possible level of system and personal safety. Furthermore, in switchgear assemblies in enclosed structures, personal and system safety can be further increased through the forms of internal seperation. We offer a variety of expansion sets for the TriLine-R system, through to the highest variant, the form 4b.

Maintenance-free busbar connections guarantee optimum contacting and hence a higher level of safety, availability and economy. 22

Electrical arc protection for TriLine-R – safety with concept In many modern applications, protection against electrical arcing is an indispensable requirement of a low-voltage switchgear system. The core of an electric arc can reach temperatures of up to 20,000° C. This can cause pressure to build up within a matter of milliseconds, which then discharges as an explosion.

The most common causes of an electrical arc Reduction of creepages and clearances Errors in installation and maintenance n Errors when working with the live system n High packing density of the electrical equipment n Overloaded busbars or overvoltage in the mains supply n n

Electrical arc – faster than the blink of an eye

Electrical arcs can have catastrophic consequences within moments, particularly for people. They can also cause damage to neighbouring systems or parts of buildings. In addition, faults cause system downtime, which can lead to high follow-up costs. Possible consequences of an electrical arc for people n Severe

burns caused by high temperatures from flying system components n Damage to eyesight caused by the electrical flash n Hearing damage from the explosion n Injury

We aim to implement preventive measures that eliminate electrical arcs or at least minimize the potential effects to a safer level.

24

Electrical arc protection concept for TriLine-R

For the TriLine-R modular switchgear cabinet, which has enjoyed success on the market since 2003, Striebel & John has developed a 4-level safety concept, with which the relevant level of safety can be achieved depending on the requirements. A high level of safety is a central feature of all TriLine‑R switchgear systems. This is evident in the high dynamic rated short-circuit values of Ipk up to 220 kA, and the rated thermal short circuit values of Icw up to 100 kA. In addition to the successful type tests already carried out on the up to 4000 A TriLine-R System, level 1-3 of our protection concept has also been tested, by an independent specialist institute in high-voltage technology.

Type-tested compartment section – increased safety through separation The type-tested switchgear combinations already achieve a high level of safety through consequential adherence to assembly instructions. In addition, Striebel & John uses internal separations for increased safety and availability in enclosed systems, thus restricting the hazards for people.

Various expansion sets for the TriLine-R system enable expansion to the highest level, form 4b. When the system is expanded, partition walls, covers, or device casings form protected spaces within the distribution, known as compartments. If work is carried out on particular functional units under normal operating conditions, all necessary safety regulations must be complied.

26

Striebel & John has developed housing types based on form 4b, known as a compartment section. Plug‑in module plates can be fitted with the necessary equipment, such as horizontally aligned circuit breakers or switch disconnectors. The front operating area is equipped with sectional doors. The standard housing features an integrated cable inlet section on the right-hand side.

Compartment section – internal separation

For specific applications, the compartment section can also be used without the right-hand cable inlet section. The plug-in module plates can also be combined with horizontal SlimLine switch disconnectors. A separate cable inlet section can be attached on the left or right side as required.

Busbar trunking system connection – connecting TriLine-R systems Careful and detailed technical planning is a decisive factor for the efficiency of electrical distribution systems. Above a certain level, the use of busbar systems for the transfer of electrical energy from the transformer to the low-voltage switchgear assembly is much safer, more reliable, and more economical than comparable cable systems.

More efficient utilisation of energy through the use of busbar trunking systems ensures lower energy consumption and thus reduces overall operating costs. The system also requires less space and offers increased fire protection. Further advantages of busbar trunking systems include simple planning, a clear layout, and uncomplicated upgrades. Striebel & John provides the ideal interface from the busbar trunking system to the TriLine-R system. A safe electrical power supply is guaranteed by the type-tested low-voltage switchgear assembly in the TriLine-R system in accordance with IEC 60439-1, and type-tested electrical busbar systems according to IEC 60439-2.

Important Busbar trunking systems that comply with IEC 60439-2 should generally be implemented as type-tested low voltage switchgear assemblies!

Power factor correction (PFC) – simple money saving All electrical devices that create a magnetic field in order to function, such as transformers, electric motors, or the ballast of fluorescent lamps, require reactive current. Both the active current generated in the power station and the reactive current are carried over the mains network.

When the magnetic field is created, the necessary reactive current is not “consumed”, but instead “oscillates” back and forth between the generator and the electrical consumer. This results in a higher load on the mains network as well as the transformer and the generator. This additional load requires a higher rating of the electricity cables, and is charged to the electricity customer. These costs can be completely avoided with the use of reactive current compensation. The financial saving is direct, since the cost of reactive current compensation, installation and maintenance is less than the cost of the reactive current. Reactive current compensation also makes a valuable contribution towards climate protection.

The core of this type of power factor correction system consists of capacitors, which are activated or deactivated in steps by the controller. Through regulation of the capacitors the actual, required reactive current is always compensated. There is less load on the mains network and the costs for reactive current are reduced. Striebel & John offers type-tested reactive current compensation systems. The individual modules can be installed into the TriLine-R cabinet using the installation sets.

Masterminds in the spotlight – the Cloche d'Or office complex, Drosbach Buildings in which research, communication, planning, administration, and decision-making take place not only require clever minds, but also need energy to keep things running smoothly. From the lighting, via the air conditioning, right through to integrated communication and data networks – a reliable electricity supply is a prerequisite for a forward-thinking office building. The Drosbach Cloche d’Or office complex is a prime example.

Just outside the capital of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, an architectural giant dominates the landscape. The building is designed in a star-shape, with an eleven-storey central tower and five “arms” – each with six floors, which house a total of 2,600 staff. The technical centre is situated under the tower. From here, the connected electrical load of 8.4 MW, distributed to 7 transformer stations, is enough to supply the entire surface area of 65,000 m2. And at the very heart of the building – a Striebel & John switchgear system that consistently guarantees the safety, comfort and efficiency of the building.

Football heroes and atmosphere – the Fritz Walter Stadium, Kaiserslautern Major events mean major energy consumption. As Germany plays host to the 2006 World Cup, the stadiums, media centres, and hospitality areas will together require an estimated electricity supply of around 13 million kilowatthours. Power has to be guaranteed while matches are in play, with lighting an absolute priority.

A standard illumination intensity of at least 1500 lux per m2 is required. The sound system and public address system also depend on a reliable power supply, for example, in the Fritz-Walter Stadium in Kaiserslautern. When the floodlights in the Betzenberg region of Kaiserslautern are switched on they can be seen from far and wide, as the fans’ anticipation rises. The Fritz Walter Stadium, one of the most atmospheric stadiums in the German Bundesliga, was among the host venues for the 2006 World Cup. The stadium has a surface area of well over 100,000 m2. In preparation, the stadium has been extended to accommodate 48,500 covered seats and general quality improvements have been made. A new media tower, which will mainly be home to TV studios, offers all the latest technological comforts. The grandstand has been specially equipped with the highest standards of media technology for representatives of the world’s media. Striebel & John is a member of the team as the gates open to the public.

Taking off with safety technology – the north terminal at Riga airport Riga airport is the most important of Latvia’s three airports, and the major hub for all the Baltic states. The annual number of passengers is increasing accordingly: 1.9 million passengers used the airport in 2005 and 2.5 million in the year 2006. To cope with increasing demand, the airport is expanding its capacity, for example with the building of the new North Terminal.

The terminal has been built on the site of the old lowvoltage main distribution. To ensure that day-to-day operations continued to run smoothly, the power supply to all relevant passenger facilities, such as the baggage conveyor belt, IT systems, check-in desks, escalators, moving pavements, and other technical installations, had to be guaranteed. A sophisticated uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system ensures a constant power supply: If the electricity supply fails at one incoming feeder, the coupler section automatically and immediately switches to the other incoming feeder. To ensure that the transformer is not overloaded during this conversion period, the load of each electrical consumer is monitored. If appropriate, less important consumers are switched off for the duration of the emergency switching. If the electricity supply from both infeeders fails, a diesel generator is activated to provide an emergency power supply. Striebel & John offers the ideal basis for such high safety levels.

The complex is complemented by a large-scale food court, quiet zones with water features, and extensive parking provision with over 1,100 parking spaces on the second, third, and fourth floors of the building. If business is to flourish, however, the risk of power cuts must be eliminated. This is where Striebel & John comes in.

A hub for experts – the NürnbergMesse exhibition centre In the age of electronic business communication, exhibition centres enjoy a particular popularity as a place to make personal contacts. Visitors from around the world meet here to discuss business. In total, nearly 8,000 international companies and around 14,000 German companies take part as exhibitors, with over 1.2 million visitors per year to trade fairs and conferences at the Nuremburg exhibition centre.

The Nuremberg exhibition centre is among the fastest-growing exhibition centres in Europe today. The centre was opened in the 1970s with a surface area of around 60,000 m², and has since been extended to cover 152,000 m² of exhibition space. The main distribution boards in halls 4, 5, 7 and 9 however dated back to 1972. These systems were modernized in a series of stages. There was no downtime when changing from the old to the new system. Four 1000 kVA transformer infeeds can be switched individually, in groups or all together, depending on requirements. A 1000 kVA generator also provides an emergency power supply. Approximately 320 NH disconnectors from NH00 to NH3 ensure power distribution to the halls. Each outgoing feeder is measured and displayed using a 3‑phase multi-measuring device. For power factor correction, each transformer unit has a 250 kVAr compensation module with combination filter technology in operation.

The headquarters of power – The office of the federal chancellor, Berlin The office of the federal chancellor in Berlin not only boasts an impressive architecture, but is also home to some impressive electrical technology. The Office of the federal chancellor was constructed between 1997 and 2001, and covers a surface area of around 19,000 m2. A 36‑meter high cube forms the centre of the building, housing a conference room, cabinet rooms, as well as offices for the federal chancellor and ministers of state.

To guarantee uninterrupted operation of the building facilities 3 x 800 kVA transformers and a 650 kVA cogenerator system all feed simultaneously into a common busbar system. Within the relatively short completion time of just eight weeks, the switchgear for the individual building parts was installed, connected, and wired. The power supply on the medium-voltage side is provided with the use of a triple compartmented switchgear assembly with two separate medium voltage infeeds from two different transformer stations. To minimize downtime in the event of failure, transformer outfeeds and infeeds are connected with a controlled time-based discriminating loop. On the low voltage side, three transformers and an enginebased cogeneration system all feed into a common busbar system, from which several of the main distribution systems of the building are supplied. In the unlikely event of a fault in the transformers, the most important areas of the Chancellor’s Office are supplied from the cogeneration system.
