Spun concrete poles and prefabricated fundaments

The pre-stressed high strength type E and EM concrete poles offered by ZPUE are the highest quality products, compliant with the standard PN-EN 12843:2008. Use of modern technology of concrete density by centrifugation method allows us to achieve a high level of density and a smooth surface, which guarantees the stability and bearing capacity of the spun concrete poles. Concrete compressive strength class minimum C40/50(C50/60) according to PN-EN206-1:2003.

Characteristics

  • design working life 50 years without the need for maintenance,
  • low water absorption <3,5%, good frost resistance, exposure class XC4, XF2 according to the PN-EN 206-1 norm: 2003, confirmed by accredited research body,
  • esthetic design, scratch resistance of the smooth surface,
  • limiting of the amount of land made unavailable for agricultural use
  • possibility to increase the span length, fewer number of poles along 1km of lines,
  • easy foundation in the ground,
  • application of one concrete pole instead of expanded spans.

Application:

  • supports for overhead and overhead-cable MV and LV power lines, telecommunication lines, train and tram lines,
  • various support constructions for general application.

Prefabricated footing elements

Precast concrete is designed for concrete poles and transformer stations foundations in MV and LV overhead networks. Concrete prefabricated footing and fundament elements are made from concrete class C 30/35. Footing elements should be chosen based on PTPIREE albums and assessment of the ground parameters according to the regulations defined in PN-81/B-03020 and PN-80/B-03322 norms.

Concrete poles and construction of the overhead power lines

Prefabricated functional spun concrete or wooden poles are delivered with previously installed constructions, elements of the overhead connectors’ drives, elements for lightning arresters installation, constructions for cable terminations, required groundings, warning plates, etc.

Connectors should be self assembled on the poles in the construction site in order to avoid damage to the elements during transfer and transport. Steel constructions are protected against corrosion by hot dip galvanizing according to the PN-EN ISO 1461 norm. All connecting elements used in the construction assembly, such as bolts and nuts, are protected against corrosion by hot dip galvanizing. The application of galvanizing for anti-corrosion protection has been eliminated because of its insufficient durability. Prefabricated concrete poles are made according to individual projects developed by ZPUE S.A and overhead power line albums adopted by the Polish Society of Transmission and Distribution of Electricity.

Implementation of the ZKP system in accordance with the EN 1090 norm

In accordance with Regulation (UE) 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2011 (Construction Products Regulation – CPR), ZPUE is pleased to inform our customers that the Factory Production Control System was introduced, fulfilling the requirements of the PN-EN 1090 norm within the range of production of low, medium and high voltage power constructions, and transformer stations.

Recloser THO-RC27 for the Smart Grid network

THO-RC27 automatic overhead circuit breaker Recloser consists of the switching unit of the THO-RC27 recloser and control unit SRC. Each switching unit pole has its own vacuum interrupter. All poles are mechanically coupled with a synchronizing shaft which guarantees simultaneous three-phase operation. Vacuum interrupters are opened and closed using a simple electromagnetic actuator with an effective operating lifespan of thirty thousand operations. The electromagnetic drive is actuated by the energy stored in the capacitors. It is composed of one movable part, which differentiates this electromagnetic drive from ordinary spring charged mechanisms. Vacuum interrupters and an electromagnetic drive are placed in completely sealed casing with an IP 65 protection degree.

The switching unit can be opened manually using a mechanical rod, actuating manual trip and lock out handle. After being opened manually, the circuit breaker is mechanically and electrically locked out. The circuit breaker position is mechanically indicated with a visual indicator placed at the bottom of the cubicle and electrically with the SRC control unit, which controls the position of the circuit breakers auxiliary contacts. External cover of the bushing insulators is made from water-repellent silicone rubber. Voltage measurement is performed by capacitive voltage dividers installed inside all bushing insulators. Current measurement is performed by installation of the external current transformers 1A secondary current or Rogowski coils on the bushing insulators.

The SRC control unit is designed for complex operation of Recloser THO-RC, incorporating digital protection with a function of SO-54SR- 1xx- REK bay controller and a communication module of any manufacturer, for example: Mikronika MSG- 6xx, Elkomtech EX- BRG, etc., which integrates the following functions: metering, protecting, controlling with a switching unit, telemechanics, automation and multi-channel fault recorder, as well as storing and processing information concerning network parameters and occurring events.

A detailed description of protection and communication modules is included in separate documentation depending on the type of the module used. ZUPE S.A. makes this documentation accessible after an enquiry is made.

Characteristics

  • possibility to install current transformers or Rogowski coils (depending on customer’s requirements), and very fast transformer or coil replacement, without the need to change the entire switching unit,
  • voltage meter from both sides using capacitive voltage dividers,
  • easy and very fast electromagnetic drive,
  • dry air solid isolation
  • possibility of manual opening and locking of the recloser without external power supply.

Operating principle

NSP-7/SO-2 is an electric drive 24V DC equipped with a control panel SO-2.
The drive has a motor for 24 V DC voltage, single-step spur gear and electric control system SO-2. Switch disconnector maneuvering is performed when the main shaft drive is rotated to a 180° angle. The drive’s construction allows it to be handled from the ground level. The drive has a mechanical operation interlock, which protects against closing the drive during network operations.
    A mechanical interlock allows permanent locking of the switch disconnector in the “OPEN” or “CLOSE” position. In order to lock the drive, the manual drive slot interlock (7) should be opened. Next insert the hand drive mechanical interlock (6) in such a way as to fit the interlock lugs with the cut out of the manual drive slot (8), then close the casing door (10).

Opening of the manual driver slot interlocks causes simultaneous switching off of the drive power supply thanks to the limit switch activation. Pulling out the mechanical interlock (6) from the manual drive slot (8) and closing the manual drive slot interlock (7) causes the release of the lock.

The switch disconnector can be maneuvered remotely or electrically from the control panel SO-2.
On the control cubicle panel are buttons:
"CLOSE" - send an impulse to close switch disconnector;
 "OPEN” - send an impulse to open switch disconnector;
The control operation mode (15) is used to choose the way in which to control the switch disconnector:
1. REMOTE – remote control of the connector (radio control)
0. SWITCHED OFF – controlling deactivated
2. LOCAL - connector manoeuvring using buttons on the SO-2 control panel

Detailed information related to the drive is included in the DTR documentation.

Operating principle

The NSP-8 drive is installed in powder-painted aluminum sheet casing with a thermal isolation (it can also be made from stainless steel sheet in a special order), it is additionally equipped with a lock Master Key type with the possibility of being locked with a padlock. The construction of the drive allows its operation from the ground level. The drive is fixed to the concrete pole in such a way so as to allow the combination of the main drive shaft NSP together with the switch disconnector drive crank. Rods, which join the switch disconnector with the NSP-8 drive are delivered as the drive’s equipment. The drive is equipped with a motor, single-step spur gear and electric control system.
Switch disconnector maneuvering is performed when the main shaft drive is rotated to a 180° angle.

For proper operation, the NSP-8 drive needs an external power supply of 230V from the auxiliary transformer mounted on a pole.
Moreover, the electric drive is equipped with a Plant/PLC controller manufactured by Mikronika, Elkomtech, Instytut Gdańsk, and can be additionally equipped with an underground and inter-phase short-circuit indicator, e.g. SZN-1, SZK-030/B or another type with specific dimensions.
The connection diagram of the NSP-8 drive with the controller, and a part of the assembly board are shown in the drive documentation DTR. Before performing the switching operations with the remote control or from the control panel, the operator must be familiar with the manual drive handling (in particular with the possibility of mechanical locking of the drive), which is described in detail in documentation DTR.
Switch disconnector maneuvering can be performed remotely or electrically from the control panel SO-2.
On the panel SO-2 of the control cubicle there are buttons (10):
"CLOSE” - send an impulse to close switch disconnector; "OPEN” – send an impulse to open switch disconnector;
The control operation mode (11) is used to choose the way in which to control the switch disconnector:   
1. REMOTE – connector remote control (radio control)
0. SWITCHED OFF – controlling deactivated with no possibility of remote or local control
2. LOCAL - connector manoeuvring using buttons (10) on the SO-2 control panel

Detailed information related to the drive is included in documentation DTR.

Connectors are three-pole appliances with one drive. Each pole is equipped with two supporting insulators – fixed or movable. Connectors can be equipped with porcelain, composite insulators with cycloaliphatic resin or silicone in an HTV rubber cover. Handles with main contacts are installed to the insulators. The main contacts are made from tinning coated, profiled copper flat bars. The construction of the contacts allows their self-guidance, and provides a large contact surface and clamping force.

Appliances, as standard, are equipped with current terminals, which allow the installation of isolated or naked aluminum electricity cables with a cross-section of 16-95 mm2 (a special design allows connecting cables with a cross-section of 120 mm2). This information must be provided while placing an order or request. Additionally, appliances with earthing switches are equipped with a flexible contact, which takes over the effects of bending on a movable appliance pole.

Connectors in the modular structure can be expanded with additional elements such as: lightning arresters, additional support insulators. They can be installed in the horizontal or vertical position.

Characteristics

Connectors with limited capability rated continuous current 800A

Budowa łączników 800A

The Connector structure refers to well-known power industry solutions, which have been in use for many years now. A modified contact system allows the transmission and switching capability to be increased. The application of silicone drive insulators eliminates the risk of damage to this element. The main shaft interlock prevents faulty switching operations and considerably improves the handling safety of the appliance. Connectors can be equipped with porcelain, composite insulators with cycloaliphatic resin or silicone in an HTV rubber cover. Contact elements applied from our production units guarantees the proper electrical and mechanical operation of the appliance. Appliances are designed to power lines with considerable cable cross-sections up to 240 mm2, overhead switchgear busbar bridges and stations 110 kV/15 – 24 – 36 kV and for cable trays. Standard hand drives manufactured by ZPUE S.A. are used to control the connectors.

Rozłączniki RN i RUN z komorami powietrznymi o prądzie łączeniowym 100A

Overhead modular switch disconnectors type RN III 24/4-100A (RUN III 24/4-100A) are appliances used in overhead distribution networks 15 and 20 kV and are designed for switching off/on the load current up to 100 A. Rated continuous current 400 A.
Switch disconnectors are composed of three independent poles installed on a transmission shaft. The distance between particular poles can be adjusted in a range between 450 and 650 mm.
Modular construction of the unit allows installation of particular elements- carrying beam, poles, drive – on a pole without the need to use heavy equipment. The construction of the unit allows its installation on a standard pole without additional supporting structures. Connections are equipped with composite insulators with a polycarbonate core in HTV rubber cover type HASDI. Main contacts are made from profiled copper flat bars coated by silver plating or tinning, depending on the ZE standards. Isolators are equipped with contact systems with air load break interrupters. Movable isolators are equipped with contact systems with a switching contact and spring mechanism. Poles are beared with brass sleeves. As standard, the overhead power line connection allows installation of isolated or naked aluminum electricity cables with a cross-section 16-95 mm2 (a special design allows connecting cables with a cross-section 120 mm2). A flexible contact takes over bending effects on a movable appliance pole. Appliances construction allows expansion of operating devices with additional modules- earthing switches, load break interrupter, lightning arresters or additional insulators – allowing the configuration depending on the needs.

Switch disconnectors can be installed in a horizontal or vertical position.
Switch disconnectors are adapted to the remote control using drives series NSP-7/SO-2 i NSP-8/SO2, as well as to the manual drive using a crank (which is located inside the drive) or only by a manual drive (without the motor).

Switch disconnectors are permitted to be used in all marketing companies. They can be equipped with current transformers type AGCE-24 or CSO, which are used to detect short-circuit currents in MV networks.

Characteristics

  • Visible safe isolation gap
  • Fault-free operations in extreme weather conditions
  • Low wear and ageing reduction of all active components achieved thanks to the application of the highest quality switching units, which have excellent mechanical and electrical properties according to norm 62271-103
  • Possibility to expand with other components e.g. current transformers, lightning arresters
  • High switching current 100A without the need to switch off the whole linear sequence.

RPN Switch disconnectors with vacuum interrupters for the Smart Grid

RPN III 24/400 and RPN III 24/400-W type switch disconnectors are manufactured in two variants: frame, signed as RPN III 24/400 and modular, signed as RPN III 24/400-W. They are also composed of three independent poles installed on a transmission shaft. Durable construction provides high reliability and great endurance. The structure allows direct cable line connection with the switch disconnector. Each pole is equipped with composite insulators with a polycarbonate core covered with HTV rubber or cycloaliphatic resin. The distance between particular poles can be regulated in a range between 445 and 650 mm (applied only to the modular switch disconnector). The distance between poles in a frame switch disconnector is 435 mm. The modular structure of the unit allows its expansion on poles E, EM, ŻN, BSW or lattice towers without additional support constructions. One insulator is permanently fixed to the pole, but the other is mounted on a movable support. Current terminals allow the installation of isolated or naked aluminum power cables with a cross-section of 16 ÷ 95 mm2. The main contacts have a jaw structure. These contacts are made from profiled copper flat bars joined together with rivets, and a spring installed in stabilization foundations, which is permanently pressed against the surfaces. Contact elements are covered with silver plating, which ensures long working time and protects against corrosive environment conditions. Auxiliary contacts, which work at the same time as main contacts, are opened after the main contacts open and when they are at a safe distance from each other. The construction of the auxiliary contacts and break interrupters allows reclosing on and off of the operating currents up to 400A. Switch disconnectors are adjusted to remote control with a drive series NSP-7/SO-2 i NSP-8/SO2, as well as manual control using a hand crank (which is located in a drive), or using only a manual drive (without the motor).

RPN series switch disconnectors are permitted to be used in all marketing companies. They can be equipped with current transformers type AGCE-24 or CSO, which are used to detect short-circuit currents in MV networks.

Switch disconnectors, sectionalizers in closed casings THO series

The basic element of THO series sectionalizers; THO/II is a TH12 switch disconnector closed in a leak proof, stainless steel tank filled with SF6 gas. The tank meets the leakage requirements in accordance with IEC 56. This means that there is no need to refill this element during normal switch disconnector operation. According to provisions in force relating to the supervision of high-pressure devices, the appliance is not under the obligation to be supervised because of low SF6 gas content in the tank. A modern and reliable control system together with a radio supervision system (remote) guarantee several decades of working without the need to perform cumbersome inspections, adjustments and contact maintenance, which is very important in extensive overhead networks. Switch disconnector contacts inside the tank are connected with bushing insulators, which allow installation of “self-cleaning” silicone insulators 24 (25) kV, 36 kV with excellent hydrophobic properties. Silicone insulators are connected with an overhead or cable line bridge. It is also possible to equip them with connector angle heads. A simple and reliable electric drive with single or double-spring mechanism was applied for remote controlling, which allows automatic reclosing (on and off) of the switch disconnector primary contacts during 50ms. Motor drives equipped with THO series switch disconnectors/ sectionalizers cooperate with all radio control and supervision systems in the Smart Grid networks.

Electric drives are made in two versions:

  • single-spring drive “T-1” –total response time of 55,6 seconds,
  • double-spring drive “T-2” – storage to cooperation with full SPZ automation, which is used for fast disconnection of the faulty parts in the network during a de-energized interval, with a disconnection response time of 0,1s.

A T-1 or T-2 motor drive is installed directly on the switch disconnector tank and is joined with its main operation shaft. It prevents access to the appliance by unauthorized people, and eliminates the possibility of faulty indications and malfunctions. Both the spring mechanism and motor have indication contacts, which send information of the appliance position to the SCADA system, and a visual indicator, which is seen from the ground level.
Each switch disconnector is equipped with a manual drive, which allows maneuvering the appliance from the ground. This drive is adapted for mechanical locking in the open or closed position with the possibility to install a padlock.

Characteristics

  • no need for regular inspection and maintenance operations of the switch disconnector main contacts, which significantly reduces operating costs,
  • failure-free operation in extreme weather conditions (hard rime, icing, wind, forest areas),
  • low consumption and reduction of the ageing of all active components caused by SF6 gas consumption. This results in higher reliability and excellent mechanical and electrical endurance.
  • each THO series switch disconnector is equipped with a pressure indicator, SF6 “pressure switch” , which controls the pressure in the tank and is responsible for proper switch disconnector functioning, as well as in case of failure, it automatically cuts off the motor power supply system preventing switching to the open position,
  • THO series switch disconnectors are equipped with an emergency manual drive, which is used to perform the switching operations under the full load of the rated current in case of discharge of the battery installed in the telemechanics cubicle.

Additional equipment, current and voltage metering

Additional equipment

Each THO series switch disconnector can be additionally equipped with current transformers or Rogowski coils and voltage dividers. This is a new solution for current and voltage metering for protection and supervision of medium voltage electric power engineering networks.

A current transformer type PR 0,72; CTP is made in a ring system, where the ring is put on the switch disconnector’s bushing insulators. They create a Holmgren connection, which is used for collecting information about underground and interphase short circuit current data and for metering the current as needed.

For voltage metering the THO series switch disconnectors can be equipped with capacitive voltage dividers, which are installed in the switch disconnector’s bushing insulators. Capacitive voltage dividers are used for voltage metering.

A new solution, together with suitable configured controllers manufactured by Mikronika type SO-52v-21-AUT or Elkomtech type Ex-mBEL_Bx, can operate as an automatic sectionalizer or detect directional earth-fault currents with an automatic sectionalization of a faulty network section during the automatic service restoration.
