General instructions
cgm.3 system: medium voltage SF
6
gas-insulated
cubicles up to 38 kV according to IEEE and CSA standards
4.3. Recomended cable trenchs
Recomended mínimum dimensions according to the
dimensions of the trench used during the test according
to the IEC 62271-200 standard. Depending on the radius of
curvature of the cables used these dimensions may vary.
4.3.1. Cubicles with gas tank internal arc up to 20 kA - 0,5 s
Tests conducted with a test current of 21 kA. Consider
in each case the cable used in each installation.
Feeder, busbar raise and cable raise functions
The mínimum dimensions of the cable trench depend of
the mínimum radius of curvature of the cables used:
D1
Frontal or rear cables incoming or outgoing
D2
Lateral cables incoming or outgoing
