SafeRing
SafeRing is a ring main unit for the secondary distribution network. SafeRing can be supplied in 10 different configurations suitable for most
switching applications in 12/24 kV distribution networks. It is extendable and combined with the SafePlus concept, which is ABB’s flexible, modu-
lar compact switchgear, they represent a complete solution for 12/24 kV secondary distribution networks. SafeRing and SafePlus have identical
user interfaces.
SafeRing is a completely sealed system with a stainless steel tank containing all live parts and switching functions. A sealed steel tank with
constant atmospheric conditions ensures a high level of reliability as well as personnel safety and a virtually maintenance-free system.
The SafeRing concept offers a choice of either switch-fuse combination or circuit-breaker with relay for protection of the transformer. SafeRing
can be supplied with an integrated remote control and monitoring unit.

Arc suppressor 5.6
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.
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 1sec.

All motors operate on 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.

Fuse-links 6.6
SafeRing and SafePlus are designed and tested for fuse-links according to IEC 60282-1.
The dimensions of the fuse-links have to be in accordance with IEC 60282-1, Annex D. The
fuse-links have to be type I with terminal diameter equal to + 45 mm and body length (D) equal
to 442 mm.
The dimensions of the fuse-links can also be in accordance with DIN 43625 and the length
of the fuse canister is based on the use of fuse-links with length 442 mm. For installation of
shorter fuses, (<24kV) a fuse adapter will be needed.
SafeRing and SafePlus are designed for fuse-links with striker in accordance with
IEC 60282-1. The striker must be of type “Medium” with an energy of 1 J and a travel of
minimum 20 mm. The start force of the striker should be minimum 40 N.
Please note: When inserting the fuse-link into the canister, the striker-pin must always face
outwards against the fuse holder. Fuse adapter has to be fixed to the fuse-link contact which
faces inwards in the fuse canister.
1600 kVA is the maximum size of distribution transformer which can be fed from a SafeRing/
SafePlus switch-fuse module. For higher rated transformers, we recommend our vacuum
circuit-breaker module with CT’s and protection relay.
The below table shows CEF fuse-links for use in SafeRing/SafePlus. For more technical data,
please refer to separate catalogue for ABB CEF fuse-links.
In order to find the correct fuse-link compared to the transformer rating in kVA, please see the

Ronis key interlocks 6.12
Except for fuse-switch and vacuum breaker, all load break switches, earthing
switches and disconnectors may be equipped with Ronis key interlock type
EL11AP for one key or EL22 for 2 keys.
Ronis key interlocks can be used as follows: Two switchgear A and B are con-
nected to each other by cables. The purpose of interlocks is to prevent closing
of the earthing switch unless the load break switch in 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
1) mounted close to 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 posi-
2) tion.
Then it will be possible to operate this key interlock and turn the key which
extends the locking bolt. This will prevent the access to the operating shaft of
this load break switch.
Then withdraw the key and insert it into the identical key interlock on the earth-
ing switch of switchgear B.
A B
3) When the key is inserted, you will be able to operate the key interlock and
3) turn the key which will withdraw the extended locking bolt.
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
make it impossible 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
4) key 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 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.

types of ABB remote terminal units; RTU211 or REC523. The REC523
is required when cable bushing with combisensors 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 communication protocols ABB RP570,
