Schneider Electric has integrated a functional organization into each of its units,
the main purpose of which is to check quality and ensure the adherence to standards.
This procedure is:
b the same throughout the different departments
b recognized by numerous approved customers and organizations.
Above all, it is our strict application of this functional organization that has enabled us
to obtain the recognition of an independent organization, the French Association for

Complete insulation
b A metal enclosure made of stainless steel, which is unpainted and gas-tight
(IP67), contains the live parts of the switchgear and the busbars.
b Three sealed fuse chambers, which are disconnectable and metallized
on the outside, insulate the fuses from dust, humidity...
b Metallization of the fuse chambers and directed field terminal connectors
confines the electrical field in the solid insulation.
Taken together, the above elements provide the RM6 with genuine total insulation
which makes the switchgear completely insensitive to environmental conditions,
dust, extreme humidity, temporary soaking.
(IP67: immersion for 30 minutes, as laid down in IEC standard 60529, 14.2.7).

plate displaying the mimic diagram of the switchgear status (closed, open, earthed):
b closing: the moving contact assembly is manipulated by means of a fast-acting
operating mechanism. Outside these manipulations, no energy is stored.
For the circuit breaker and the fuse-switch combination, the opening mechanism
is charged in the same movement as the closing of the contacts.
b opening: opening of the switch is carried out using the same fast-acting
mechanism, manipulated in the opposite direction.
For the circuit breaker and fuse-switch combination, opening is actuated by:
v a pushbutton
v a fault.
b earthing: a specific operating shaft closes and opens the earthing contacts.
The hole providing access to the shaft is blocked by a cover which can be opened
if the switch or circuit breaker is open, and remains locked when it is closed.
b switchgear status indicators: are placed directly on the moving contact
assembly operating shafts. They give a definite indication of the position
of the switchgear (attachment A of IEC standard 62271-102).
b operating lever: this is designed with an anti-reflex device which prevents
any attempt to immediately reopen the switch-disconnector or the earthing switch
after closing.
b padlocking facilities: 1 to 3 padlocks can be used to prevent:
v access to the switch or circuit breaker operating shaft
v access to the earthing switch operating shaft

which means that it is particularly well-adapted to transformer protection.
Protection system
The protection system operates without an auxiliary power supply, and includes:
b 3 transformers with integrated toroids on the transformer feeder bushings
b 1 VIP 30 or VIP 35 electronic relay
b 1 release
b 1 test connector to check whether the protection unit is operating correctly,
using the VAP 6 unit.
Description
b The relays are assembled in a housing, and the front faces are protected
a transparent cover. The whole assembly has a degree of protection of IP54.
b Settings are made on the front, using rotary switches.
b The phase operating current is adjusted directly according to the transformer
rating and the operating voltage.
b The earth current set point is adjusted according to the network characteristics.
Phase protection
b Phase protection is provided by an IDMT set point which operates as of 1.2 times
the operating current (Is). VIP 30 and VIP 35 phase protections are identical.
Earth protection
b Earth fault protection operates with measurement of the residual current carried
out using the sum of the secondary currents of the sensors.
b Earth protection operates in definite time: both its set point and time delay
are adjustable.
Indication
b A red flag appears on the front plate once the circuit breaker has tripped on fault.

near to the fault as possible. The protection unit is identical to that of the 200 A circuit
breaker, with a VIP 300 relay adapted to network protection.
Phase protection
Phase protection has two independently adjustable set points:
b either an IDMT or definite low set point can be selected. The IDMT curves
are in conformity with the IEC 60255-3 standard. They are of the inverse,
very inverse and extremely inverse type.
b the high set point is a definite time one.
Earth protection
b Earth fault protection operates with measurement of the residual current carried
out using the sum of the secondary currents of the sensors.
b As with phase protection. earth protection has two independently adjustable
set points.
Indication
b A red flag appears on the front plate once the circuit breaker has tripped on fault.
b Two indicators on the relay show the origin of tripping (phase or earth).
They remain in position after the relay power supply is cut off.
b Two LED indicators (phase and earth) indicate that the low set point has been
exceeded and its time delay is in progress.

TR: switch response time (< 2 s).
b Time delay before changeover (T1)
Configurable from 0 s to 200 s in increments of 100 ms (factory setting = 1 s).
This time delay is also used to delay return to the initial channel
in Semi-Auto mode SW1XVSW2
b Time delay before return to the initial channel (T2) (Auto mode only)
Configurable from 0 s to 30 min. in increments of 5 s (factory setting = 15 s).

Network remote control Automatic transfer systems
2 - Semi-Auto SWXVSWG
The ATS does not change back to the main line, except in the event of a voltage loss
on the generator due to generator stoppage or the opening of a switch upstream
of the SWG channel.
3 - Semi-Auto SWVSWG
In the event of a voltage loss on the distribution line in service (SW), after a time
delay T1, the ATS sends the opening command to SW and at the same time
the Generator start-up order.
The remaining operation of the changeover sequence depends on the configuration
of the Generator channel closing option:
b Case 1 Generator channel closing after Generator power on
b Case 2 Generator channel closing after Generator start-up order
[opening of SW, closing of SWG]
The ATS maintains the backup line in service (SWG) and there is no automatic return.

(Auto mode only). Configurable from 0 s to 30 min. in increments of 5 s (factory setting = 15 s).
b Tg1: Generator start-up, depending on the generator type, not configurable
(max. waiting time: 60 s). If Tg1 is greater than 60 s, changeover is suspended.
b Tg2: Generator stoppage, depending on the generator type, not configurable
(max. waiting time: 30 s).
Note: the generator stoppage command is sent 6 s after the end of changeover.

2 operating modes (selected from the Easergy T200 I configurator)
1 - Standard mode
In the event of a voltage loss on the distribution line in service (SW1), the ATS
changes over to the backup line (SW2) after a configurable time delay (T1).
[opening of SW1, closing of SW3]
As soon as voltage returns on the main line (SW1), the ATS changes back to
the main line after a time delay (T2).

Configurable from 100 ms to 3 s in increments of 100 ms (factory setting = 1 s).
Changeover conditions
b Validation of the ATS (from the configurator)
b The ATS is in operation (local control panel or remote control)
b The external closing digital input is OFF
b The switch for the main line is closed and the backup line switch is open
b No fault detected on the line in service
b The earthing switch is open on both switches.
Other functions
ATS in ON/OFF mode
The ATS system can be switched on or off from the local control panel (T200 I)
or remotely (Scada system).
When the ATS is OFF, the RM6 switches can be electrically actuated by local
or remote control (operation in parallel mode is therefore possible).
ATS in parallel mode upon Auto return
Activating this option enables paralleling of the channels by the automatic transfer
system, during the phase of automatic return to the priority channel.
To be used when the ATS is in Auto mode.
Application: synchronization of the voltages of the main power supply line and
the backup line allows return to the main line without any interruption.
Generator ON override command
Activation of the ATS and transfer on Generator can be activated upon an order:
remotely or through dedicated digital input.
Applications:
b Periodic maintenance tests of the ATS/Generator system
b Switch on Generator when the Network is overloaded.
During peak hours, and if network is overloaded, Utility can send a remote order that
will activate Generator. Having this facility, it will allow a private customer to negotiate
better tariff of electricity.
