Design Philosophy
SafeRing and SafePlus – ABB switchgears for secondary

distribution
Evolution: - more functionality,smaller dimensions

Secondary distribution switchgears have been subject to a
significant development the recent 20 years.
The traditional switching cells are substituted with complete

switchgear systems. Specific functions as grounding, disconnect-
ing, cable connections, busbar extension, protection and
switching have become integrated features in compact functional
units.
Compact switchgear systems catered for customers MV applica-

tion needs. ABB has always been a part of this development.
The current ABB SafePlus range satisfies the most complex

system specifications.
The most unique specialisation is the development of the cable

ring switchgear. The numerous public distribution substations
requested a unified switching functionality that evolved into the
Ring Main Unit concept.
ABB SafeRing range is one major contributor to this specialisa-
tion.
Two Products – One range

ABB SafeRing is adapted to the needs in the immense utility
distribution network.
ABB SafePlus offers more in terms of flexibility and electrical
capacity.
Both switchgears offer the same customer interface.
Customers involvement:
The applied functionality in ABB SafeRing and SafePlus is a
result of input from customers all over the world.
Key customers are continuously involved with ABB design staff

to ensure optimised switchgear operation. The functionality will
always find its background from customer demands.
Dielectric Simulation Electrical and mechanical capability results from more than 100
years of ABB development.
Personnel – safety and service

Safety is not only a specification and rating issue, but also a real
life experience.
Standards and associated testing will disclose weakness at time
of testing. ABB takes this further to be an objective related to
durability and repetitive manufacturing quality.
All products are manufactured in accordance with ISO 9001.The

latest edition of relevant IEC standards will always apply to our
continuous test programme.
Features for further enhancing personnel safety are available.
“Integrated functionality” is a key objective to reduce the number

of moving components, further reducing the risk of any mechani-
cal defect.

Design Philosophy 2.
We are responsible for the environment

The location for manufacturing SafeRing and SafePlus is Norway.
Norway’s green policy contributes to focus on environmental
factors in manufacturing as well as over the switchgears life span.
All products are manufactured in accordance with our ISO 14001

certification.
Recycling is confirmed at a 97% level.
To simplify this process we will continuously along with our part-
ners develop routines for handling at end of life.
Plastic parts are individually marked to simplify the recycling
process.
Solutions for elimination of gas emission in the rare event of a fault

can be supplied.
Modern - development and manufacturing

Numerical simulations together with long experience will ensure
SafeRing and SafePlus compact and robust design.
Test Reports
12 / 24 kV
Dielectric simulations will ensure that compactness will not influ-
ence the dielectrical capability.
The combination of design techniques, experience and the most

modern production technologyguaranteestate of the art products
and durability.
ABB Complete solutions – one supplier

Complex applications involving remote control and monitoring can
now be supplied from one supplier.
This makes large scale implementation feasible, and will simplify

engineering and procurement.
The control and monitoring unit available for SafeRing is located

behind the front cover. This option is also readily available for
retrofit, while such demands normally evolve after the switchgear is
in service.
Industrial IT
SafeRing and SafePlus are certified products according to "level 0:
Information" in the Industrial IT architecture concept of ABB.
Industrial IT describes the ABB group commitment to bridging the

gap between industrial assets and the information technology (IT)
needed to make them work seamlessly together in real time.
Industrial IT "level 0: Information" certified products must have all

relevant product documentation - including the operation manual,
instructions for installation and maintenance, electrical and
mechanical drawings, test reports and order information available
in electronic format for access via software products and systems
based on the ABB Aspect integrator Platform.

contain the mimic diagram of the main circuit with the position
indicators for the switching devices. Background colour for these
foils are RAL 7012. The upper front cover is removable. The
lower front cover can be opened.
There are four different cable compartment covers; standard, with

inspection window, arc proof and finally one with extra depth for
parallel cables.
These covers are manufactured from 1.25 millimeter aluzink (not
the arc proof cover) and are powder painted with colour RAL
7035.
All cable compartment covers are removable. Each module has a
separate cable compartment that is divided from the others by
means of partition walls. Also these partition walls can easily be
removed, allowing a comfortable access for connection of
cables.
A vertical partition wall is fitted to divide the cable compartment(s)

from the rear side of the switchgear / ring main unit.
In case of an arc fault inside the SF6 tank, followed by an
opening of the pressure relief in the bottom of the tank, this
partition wall will prevent the hot gases blowing out from the
pressure relief to enter the cable compartments.
Side covers are made of 2 millimeter hot rolled steel and powder
painted with colour RAL 7035.

Cable Bushings
The connection of the HV-cable is made by cable bushings.

The bushings are made of cast resin with moulded in
conductors.
In addition, a screen is moulded in to control
the electrical field and is also used as the main capacitor
supplying the voltage indicators.
ABB has produced bushings for SF6 switchgears since 1985.
A very high number of units have been installed worldwide on

distribution networks, power stations and industrial complexes.
Used together with full-screened connectors an ideal solution

for areas with a history of humidity or condensation problems is
achieved.
The bushings are designed according to DIN 47636.
400 series bushing with terminal for capacitive

Arc Suppressor 5.6
The Arc Suppressor is an optimal quick-make short circuit
device with a mechanical pressure detector that can be
installed with each incoming feeder inside the sealed SF6
tank of the SafeRing and SafePlus switchgear.
If an arc fault should occur inside the SF6 tank the pressure
detector of the Arc Suppressor will automatically trip the
short circuit device of the incoming feeder(s) within
milliseconds, thereby transforming the arc fault into a bolted
fault.
The arc is extinguished without any emission of hot gases
and the bolted short circuit will be interrupted by the
upstream circuit breaker.
No links or release mechanisms are installed outside the tank.

Corrosion and any enviromental influences are therefore
prevented, giving optimum reliability.
The pressure detector is insensitive to pressure changes

due to variation in atmospheric temperature or pressure as
well as external phenomena such as vibrations or shocks.
The arc suppressor will operate for short-circuit currents in

the range of 1kArms to 21kArms and it will reduce the
generated arc energy to less than 5% of the arc energy
released during an arcing time of 1 sec.
A signalling device (1NO) will indicate local or remote the

tripping of one or more arc suppressors.
Since the system is self-contained, an internal arc fault will

have no impact on the surroundings. No arc fault tests have to
be repeated in combination with channel release systems or
transformer stations.
The costs of the cleaning work which has to be done after an
internal arc fault when the release flap has opened, are
reduced to zero.

SF6 insulated
Completely Sealed System
SafeRing/SafePlus are switchgears types using gas SF6

(Sulfur hexafluoride) as insulation and quenching medium.
The SF6 is contained in a welded stainless steel tank.
The pressure system is defined as a sealed for life system with an

operating life time of 30 years. The leakage rate is less than 0,1% per
year.
Robot welding
In order to guaranty a reliable and tight welding, all welding work is carried
out by computer controlled robots.
Electrical and mechanical bushings penetrating the tank are clamped and
sealed to the tank by high quality O-rings.
The mechanical bushing has in addition a rotating shaft which connect the
shaft of the switch to the corresponding shaft of the mechanism.
The rotating shaft is sealed by a double set of gas seals.
All SF6 tanks have to pass a leakage test, before gas filling. Leakage test
and gas filling are done inside a vacuum chamber. The first step in the
leakage test is to evacuate all air inside both SF6 tank and vacuum
chamber simultaneously. Then SF6 tank is filled with Helium.
Due to the characteristics of Helium this test will detect absolutely all
possible leakages. If the SF6 tank passes this test, the Helium has to be
evacuated and replaced by SF6.
The SF6 tank has a degree of protection of IP67.

This means the SF6 tank can be immersed into water and still maintain all
functions in a satisfactory way.

Cable Test Bushings 5.8
As an option, both C and De modules can be equipped with cable test
bushings situated behind the lower front cover.
This cover can be interlocked against the earthing switch to avoid access to
the cable test compartment before earthing switch is in closed position.
When these bushings are mounted, cable insulation test can easily be done
according to the following procedure:
Principle sketch for testing:

1. Close the earthing switch after having checked the
voltage indicators
2. Open compartment cover
3. Install the injection device onto the access terminals
4. Open the removable earthing bridge
5. Perform cable testing
6. Re-install the earthing bridge
7. Remove the injection device
8. Close compartment cover
9. Open the earthing switch
If the switchgear is not equipped with cable test bushings,

cable testing is possible directly at the cable connectors if
they are designed for this purpose, please follow the
supplier's instruction.

Mechanisms and Interlocks
C-module F-module V-module All operating mechanisms are situated outside the SF6 tank behind
the front covers with degree of protection of IP2X.
This gives the opportunity of easy access to all operating

mechanisms if retrofit or service should be required. The speed of
operation of these mechanisms are independent of the operator.
To prevent access to cable compartment before earthing switch is in

closed position, all mechanisms can as an option be supplied with
mechanical interlocks which make it impossible to remove the cable
compartment covers.
It will then also be impossible to operate earthing switch to open
position before cable compartment cover is mounted properly.
Each mechanism is equipped with a padlocking device. When adding

a padlock to this device, the access to operate the mechanism will be
impossible. This device has three holes with diameter 9 millimeter.
All operating mechanisms are equipped with position indicators for all
switches. In order to achive true indication, indicators are directly
connected to the operating shafts of the switches inside the SF6 tank,

Mechanisms and Interlocks
Cable switch module and Busbar sectionalizer with load break switch
(C-mechanism)
The mechanism (3PKE) has two operating shafts; the upper one for the load break
switch and the lower one for the earthing switch.
Both shafts are single spring operated and operate one common shaft which is
SF6 Air directly connected to the three position switch (CFE-C) inside the SF6 tank. When
both load break switch and earthing switch are in open position, the switch satisfies
the specifications of disconnector.
Due to the mechanical interlock between the upper and lower operating shaft, it is
impossible to operate the load break switch when earthing switch is in earthed
position or operate the earthing switch when the load break switch is in closed
position.
C-mechanism
Fuse switch module (F-mechanism)

The mechanism (3PAE) has two operating shafts; the upper one for the load break
switch and the lower one for the earthing switch.
The upper one operates two springs; one for closing and one for opening. Both
springs are charged in one operation. By means of mechanical push buttons it is
SF6 Air then possible to close and open the load break switch.
The opening spring is always charged when the load break switch is in closed
position and will then be ready to open the load break switch immediately if one of
the HV fuses blow.
The blown fuse(s) has/have to be replaced before the operator will be able to close
the load break switch again. According to IEC Publ.282-1, all three fuse links
should be replaced, even if only one or two have operated.
The lower shaft is single spring operated. Both operating shafts operate one
common shaft which is directly connected to the three position switch (CFE-F)
inside the SF6 tank.
F-mechanism
Due to the mechanical interlock between the upper and lower operating shaft, it is
impossible to operate the load break switch when earthing switch is in earthed
position or operate the earthing switch when the load break switch is in closed
position.
It will also be impossible to get access to the fuse compartment before earthing
switch is in closed position.

Vacuum circuit breaker and Busbar sectionalizer with circuit breaker

(V-mechanism)
These two modules have two mechanisms; the upper one (2PA) with one operating
shaft is for circuit breaker and the lower (3PKE) one with two operating shafts is for
disconnector and earthing switch.
The upper mechanism has two operating springs; one for closing and one for
opening.
Both springs are charged in one operation. By means of mechanical push buttons it
is then possible to close and open the circuit breaker.
The opening spring is always charged when the circuit breaker is in closed position
and will then be ready to open immediately if the protection relay gives a trip
signal.
However a quick reclosing is not possible. If the mechanism is equipped with a

motor operation a reclosing will take approx. 10 seconds.
V-mechanism
The lower mechanism is identical to the one described above for Cable switch
module.
There is a mechanical interlock between these two mechanisms which prevents

operating of the disconnector and earthing switch when the circuit breaker is in
closed position.
When the earthing switch is in closed position it will be impossible to operate the
disconnector, but the circuit breaker can be closed for testing purpose.

External Busbars
On the top of all SafeRing and SafePlus switchgears it is

possible as an option to have bushings for connection of
external busbars on the leftmost and the rightmost module.
For a SafePlus switchgear consisting of only one module (which

is both leftmost and rightmost in one module), only one set of
bushings on the top is necessary.
When bushings are mounted on the top, you will have these
possibilities:
1. When adding a dead end receptacle to each of these

bushings, SafeRing/SafePlus will be prepared for future
busbar extension.
SafePlus prepared for future extension on right hand side
2. With a special designed external busbars kit, it will be

possible to connect two or more sections.
Since a 5-ways switchgear is the maximum size within one

common SF6 tank, the busbar kit allows a configuration
with more than 5 modules.
The installation of the external busbars has to de done on

site, see separate manual for installation
instructions,NOPOWSP 6006 GB.
SafePlus consisting of two sections connected to each other by means of

external busbar kit
Both dead end receptacles and the external busbar kit are

Base Frame 6.1
When SafeRing or SafePlus are placed directly on a floor,
there will be a height of 595 millimeter up to the centre of
the cable bushings.
If cable trench is missing, the height might be too low. It is
then possible to put an additonal base frame between the
floor and the switchgear.
This base frame is available in two different heights; 290

and 450 millimeter.
When using the one with 290 millimeter height, it will give
the same height as our previous switchgear type RGC
when it was mounted on a standard RGC base frame.
Inside the standard cable compartment for the vacuum

circuit breaker it will be enough space for three current
transformers for protection purposes.
If an earth fault transformer or an extra set of current

transformers are required, an additonal base frame is
necessary, please see examples on left hand side.
The base frame has openings for cable entrance from the
bottom and from both sides. It is delivered as a kit and has

Motor Operation
Closing and opening operations of load-break switches and charging of the springs of the mechanisms for the circuit breaker and the switch-
fuse combination may be performed with a motor operation.
Disconnector in the V-module and all earthing switches do not have this possibility.
All motor devices require DC voltage. If control voltage is either 110 or 220 VAC, a rectifier is integrated in the control unit.
Operating cycle for motor operation is CO - 3 min (i.e. it may be operated with a frequency of up to one close and one open operation every
third minute). Motors and coils can easily be mounted to the mechanisms after delivery (retrofit).
Test voltage for tables below is + 10/ - 15 % for motor operations and closing coils and +10/ -30% for trip coils and opening coils.
The motor and coils can easily be mounted to the mechanisms after delivery (retro-fit).

Transformer Protection
SafeRing and SafePlus offer a choice between a switch fuse combination

and circuit breaker in combination with relay for transformer protection.
The switch fuse combination offers optimal protection against short-circuits,
while the circuit breaker with relay offers better protection against low
overcurrents. Circuit breaker with relay is always recommended for larger
transformers.
SafeRing is delivered with a 200 A rated V module. SafePlus V- module

has two options: 200 or 630 A rating.
Both for SafeRing and SafePlus the relay is a selfpowered relay that utilize
the energy from the CTs under a fault situation, for energizing the trip coil.
The self powered relay can also be used for cable protection and more
details on the different relays can be found in chapter 6.7.
Transformer protection with selfpowered relay.

Recommeded types:
- MPRB 99-1.0-GF
- SACE PR521
- SEG WIC 1
Important features V-module:

- Relay behind cover. It’s not necessary with any additional low voltage box
for the selfpowered relays used for transformer protection.
Typical for vacuum circuit breaker protection:

- Good protection for short circuits
- Very good for protection of overcurrents
- Small fault currents are detected in an early stage.

Ronis Key Interlocks
As an option all load break switches except the one for switch fuse module, earthing
switches and disconnectors may be equipped with Ronis key interlock type EL11AP.
Ronis may be mounted according to the customer’s specification; either to prevent
closing or opening of the switch.
Ronis key interlocks can be used as follow: Two switchgears A and B are connected to
each other by cables. The purpose of interlocks is to prevent closing of the earthing
switch unless the load break switch on the other switchgear is locked in open position.
A B
1) One Ronis key interlock will be mounted close to the operating shaft of the load
break switch in switchgear A. An identical Ronis key interlock will be mounted close to
1) the operating shaft of the earthing switch in switchgear B. As long as the load break
switch in switchgear A is in closed position, it will be impossible to remove or operate
the key in the key interlock.
A B
2) First you have to operate this load break switch in switchgear A to open position.
Then it will be possible to operate this key interlock and turn the key which extends the
2) locking bolt. This will prevent the access to the operating shaft of this load break switch.
The next thing to do then is to withdraw the key and insert it into the identical key
interlock on the earthing switch of switchgear B.
A B 3) When the key is inserted, you will be able to operate the key interlock and turn the
key which will withdraw the extended locking bolt.
3) Then there will be access to operate this earthing switch to closed position. As long as
this earthing switch is in closed position, the key will be captured and makes it impossi-
ble to close the load break switch in switchgear A.
A B 4) If the load break switch in switchgear B and earthing switch in switchgear A are
equipped with another identical Ronis key interlock which has a different key
4) combination than described above, it will be impossible to make an earth connection of
an incoming energized cable from neither switchgear A nor B.
Another example for use of Ronis key interlocks is to prevent access to the distribution
transformer before the primary side of the the transformer is connected to earth. This
can be solved by means of two identical Ronis key interlocks; one mounted on the
earthing switch for the distribution transformer feeder and the other one on the door in
front of the transformer.

Remote Control
The SafeRing and SafePlus can be supplied with remote control and monitoring
equipment. The switchgears can be fitted with two different types of ABB remote terminal
units; RTU211 or REC523. The REC523 is required when cable bushing with combisensor
for current and voltage measurements is used.
The RTU211 and REC523 can communicate with control centres of all sizes. Different
types of communication media can be delivered, and offers a choice, between the commu-
nication protocols ABB RP570, IEC 870-5-101, DNP 3.0 and Modbus RTU/ASCII. Other
protocols can be developed on request.
The integrated remote control and monitoring unit is supplied for SafeRing in 3- and 4-way
configuration.
This requires two adjacent function modules of type C, De, D, Be or Sl (e.g. CC or De-C).
The unit can not be supplied in a SafeRing with cable test bushings.
