1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Scope
Halyester was designed as a modular low-voltage system for composing switchgear and controlgear
assemblies for the distribution of electric power and motor control centres. The system is suited for in-
door and outdoor installation and based on the principle of total insulation in accordance with stan-
dard IEC 60439.
This ensures maximum operator safety. The outstanding mechanical and electrical characteristics of the
plastic boxes give the Halyester system a long service life, even under the most prevalent arduous ope-
rating conditions.
Halyester is extensively used in refineries, chemical plants and heavy industry.
Thanks to its compact and modular design, the Halyester system is also eminently suited for being
used in office buildings, greenhouses, department stores and factories. In addition, the separate boxes
accommodating a wide variety of electrical switchgear and controlgear assemblies are a perfect en-
closure for being used in relatively restricted places.
Separate operating areas or buildings are no longer necessary because the Halyester system provides
high operator safety and can be arranged outdoors.
1.2 Characteristics
The boxes and assembling accessories are made from glass mat reinforced polyester; the covers are
made from transparent or non-transparent UV-resistant polycarbonate. The features of the plastics
used are:
Boxes
The Halyester system comprises assembled boxes from heat-resistant glass fibre reinforced polyester,
with covers from polycarbonate.
The system is made up of 10 differently sized boxes.
Each box has a removable cover which is provided with locking screws which can be tightened either
with a screw driver or manually. Manual locking screws are used for boxes which are adequately pro-
tected against contact with live parts which are allowed to be operated by non-technical personnel.
According to the international IEC 60439 standard, low-voltage Halyester switchgear and controlgear
assemblies may be used in places that are accessible to non-technical personnel.
Busbar systems
The main busbars are made from electrolytic copper ECu57 F25. The busbars are supported by glass fi-
bre reinforced polyester busbar supports. All end caps, end covers and cable entry covers are provided
with seamless polyurethane foam sealing.

The busbar supports do not only serve as a busbar carrier but also as a con-
necting piece between two busbar boxes. They are provided with sealing
and come with four coupling bolts and nuts. The bolt heads are insulated.
The end caps for sealing the busbar compartment sides consist of a cap and
busbar support. They are supplied with fastener material.
All covers are provided with sealing. The cover locking screws are suited
for wire or band sealing and available for hand or tool operation.
The locking screws may come with a hinge pin.
Plastic nut
Type KB 434, 463, 464 and 466 casings can be equipped with one or more
flanges for increasing depth to obtain a larger mounting depth.
The flanges for increasing depth come with sealing and fastener material.
The cable sealing boxes suited for openings 3 or 4 are available in two
models:
• blank or with opening(s) having one or more rubber grommets;
including sealing and complete with fastener material
• segmented and complete with segmented cable clamps

For cover mounting to allow fast and easy operation of MCBs, RCCBs, RCBOs,
etc.
The flanges for increasing depth, just like the casings, are moulded from glass fibre reinforced
polyester. The flanges come with packing and captive locking screws suited for screwdriver tightening.
Flanges for increasing depth are available for the Halyester boxes listed in table 2.1 below.
This table specifies the flange for increasing depth per box type and the associated effective mounting
depth.If necessary, several flanges can be fitted.
Locking
Locking screws suited for hand or tool operation are available for securing covers to casings of the Ha-
lyester system.Both models are also available in a hinged configuration. Casings with one or more
flanges for increasing depth can be provided with covers suited for locking screws (manual or screw-
driver models), both with and without hinge pin. The screws to be used for flanges for increasing
depth and the “normal” locking screws differ in that the hinge pin of the former ones has been shor-
tened from abt. 85 mm to abt. 60 mm, because the casings are deeper than the flanges for increasing
depth. To obtain a proper sealing between the cover and casing or flange for increasing depth, the
locking screws must at least be torqued to 1.6 Nm. The different configurations and the fixation of the
locking screws are shown below.

Sealing
Wire and band seals can be used on boxes not to be accessed, say for kWh measurement.

The mounting plates for building equipment into Halyester boxes are made from plastic.
They are secured to the bottom of the casing by means of cheese head screws (M6 x 10). Halyester
boxes upwards of type K434 can be provided with more than one mounting plate. Table 2.2 shows the
various options. For fitting and feeding through earth terminals, it is possible to fit an earth strip at
the bottom left and top left holes of the mounting plate.

As already described, the mounting plate is fitted in the box for the fixation of equipment. To allow
the equipment to be secured to the mounting plate, press-in nuts with M4 thru M12 metric thread are
fitted into the plastic mounting plate, as shown in the figure below.
Since the press-in nuts have a knurled rim, they are fixed into the mounting plate.
The holes to be drilled for the various press-in nuts are listed in table 2.3.
Light equipment can be secured direct to the mounting plate, using M4 screws instead of press-in nuts
The holes to be drilled for the M4 screws have a diameter of 3.4 0 mm.

Drain valve
If a Halyester box or a combination of boxes is arranged in a damp room, it is recommended to fit a
drain valve at the bottom of the box, see figure bottom left. This valve cannot be dismounted from
the outside.
The shape of the plastic drain valve prevents foreign objects from being inserted into the box. Insects
cannot enter the box via the valve either. To install the drain valve, it is necessary to drill a 23mm hole
into the casing bottom.
Vent valves
To prevent condensation, 2 vent valves can be fitted together with the drain valve. These valves,
however, are only required in the case of large temperature variations.
The plastic vent valve has a little fine-mesh grate, preventing foreign objects or insects from entering.
To ensure proper venting, two vent valves must be fitted per panel or box, one as high as possible in
the side wall of the box or panel and one as low as possible in the opposite side. If there is no space
for mounting the vent valves in the side walls of the boxes due to the compact design, they can also
be fitted in the rear wall of the casings without any problem. Each vent valve must have two holes to
allow mounting in the boxes, as shown below.
The boxes complete with a drain valve and a vent valve meet IP55.

Table 3.4: Busbar supports with associated busbar load and busbar sections
When using a double-busbar system, it is necessary to fit equalising busbars on both ends of the bus-
bar system. With larger installations, every third box and every following third box - starting from the
power supply - must be equipped with equalising busbars.

Mounting
- mount the busbar supports between the busbar boxes in such a way that the feed-through openings
of the main busbars are located at the rear side.
- fit the bolts with plastic head by tightening the nuts only.
Function
End caps are used to close the busbar system.
A complete end cap consists of a busbar support, a ‘recessed end cover’ and fastener material.
Mounting
Fix the end cap from the busbar box, using hexagonal head bolts (M6 x 25) and flat washers.
Just like the end covers, the end caps are provided with press-in nuts.
Busbar length
The length of the main busbars can be determined on the basis of the following data:
On either side the busbars extend 16.5 mm into the end caps, see figure 3.16. This allows the main
busbar to be coupled to the busbar box to be attached when the busbar system is extended.
Figure 3.16: Distance between the busbars when mounting the end cap
The busbar coupling clamps consist of two clamping pieces and fastening screws.
With type A 70/16 and A 70/24 clamps, pointed screws are also used to optimize the current transfer.
The busbars are coupled at a distance of 16.5 mm from the busbar support, see figure 3.17.

Mounting
All group distribution boxes accommodate
3-phase busbars, 1 neutral busbar and 1 earth
busbar. M = 4,5 Nm
The connection to these box busbars may take
place at the side, top or bottom. To this end,
there are threaded holes for terminal screws at
the end of the busbars.
To enable connection to the busbars, each bus-
bar can be provided with a terminal having a
16 mm2 or 35 mm2 section.
• 1 washer AA 400
• 1 spacing clip
• 2 hexagon socket head screws M6
• 2 flat washers
When main busbars with a thickness of over 6 mm and a branch of at least 30 x 10 mm are involved,
the busbar branch terminal will comprise the following components:
• 1 washer AA 401
• 2 spacing clips
• 4 hexagon socket head screws M6
• 4 flat washers

Threaded connections
Standard branch strip sets are available for all boxes that are placed under or above the busbar boxes.
Threaded connections are used between lighting/power group distribution boxes and the main busbar
system. These are also available as standard sets in 3 current ratings. One side of the wiring sets comes
with cable sockets, whereas the other side must be finished by the assembly department. All wires are
black, whereas the neutral conductor and PE conductor must be marked blue and yellow/green respec-
tively.
When using auxiliary current branch terminals, the insulation local to the auxiliary busbar must be
removed.

*) If the section of the neutral conductor should be identical with that of the phase, it is possible to enlarge the opening. This
adjustment has no consequences for the short-circuit strength.
1) Given the section of the terminal bolts of switches etc., a 12mm strip width was chosen for practical reasons;
however, 10 x 2 mm or 10 x 3 mm is already sufficient.
Introduction
The Halyester system can also be equipped with a double-busbar system suited for a maximum 1600 A
load if central supply is involved.
If the switchgear and controlgear assembly is used in a TN-C system, the opening marked (PE)N in the
busbar support must be used for the PEN conductor.

Introduction
The Halyester system is also suited for accommodating circuit breakers for maximum loads of up to
1500 A if central supply is involved. Depending on the load, type Aeromat AE 1000-SS, AE 1250-SS and
AE 1600-SS can be used.
The different configurations are shown in this manual.
The switch boxes complete with fixed part come with bottom connection.
Circuit breakers are supplied separately because of their weight.
The terminal box is suited for 6 x 1 x 240 mm2 per phase or neutral.
If the switchgear and controlgear assembly is used in a TN-C system, the opening marked (PE)N in the
busbar support must be used for the PEN conductor.
Mounting
This chapter shows the detail drawings for mounting busbar connections and cable inlet.

According to standard IEC 60439 plastic boxes are not allowed to be interconnected by conductive
parts, in order to limit a possible fault voltage to the relevant box. Nor is it permitted to feed any con-
ductive parts from the inside to the outside. This means that metal parts which have to be fed through
the box, must be insulated on the inside or outside. That’s why the Halyester product range includes
plastic cable glands for cable diameters from 3.5 to 40 mm. Listed in the table below are the cable
glands, associated cable diameters and holes to be drilled.
The lock nut of a cable gland has the largest diameter. This diameter should be taken into account
when fitting a cable gland in the casing or end cover.

Top connection
If the cable is fed from the top, silicone sealant
must be applied at the front local to the saw
notches. This is done to obtain a proper seal.
Cable attachment
For terminal boxes having a width of 270 mm2
and 360 mm2 there are braces to which cables
can be fitted, using Pohl clamps or tyraps. The
braces must be fitted with the fastening screws
of the mounting plates. The height of the braces
is such that the cables can be fastened at about
the same height as the connection points of
switches, fuse holders, etc.
Mounting
- saw the front post from the casing along the markings
- fit the rear half of the cable sealing box to the casing, using the hexagon head bolts
M6 x 16 supplied.
- if the cable diameter is too small for the relevant clip, a filling piece can be fitted
- if the cable size deviates from the size of the half clips or filling pieces, fill the cable
clip with tape
- fit the half cable clip at the front in such a way that at least a space of 0.5 mm remains between
both half clips
- complete the cable sealing box by fitting its front half by means of four cheese head screws
(M5 x 25) and safety rings
Remark:
Segmented cable sealing boxes can be provided
0 - 0.5mm with a wire or band seal. This requires the fastening
screw (M5 x 25) to be replaced with a special seal
screw and seal plate.

6. FRAME MOUNTING
Mounting
Remark:
When boxes with more than four fixing holes are
involved, only the upper and lower holes can be
provided with an ear. Figure 6.2: Mounting of fixing bracket
With coupled boxes, not all fixing holes can be
provided with a fixing bracket. The fixing brack-
ets come in sets of 4 pieces complete with faste-
ning screws.
This mounting frame at least comprises two horizontal C sections, whose dimensions are shown in the
figure below.
Mounting
- fit the C sections at the level of the upper box fixing holes
- using the braces fitted to the ends of the C section, the assembly can be mounted to the wall.
The required minimum length of the C sections corresponds with the length of the combination of
boxes measured over the widest part of the installation. The largest bridging between two sections
should not exceed 2x270 mm = 540 mm.
If the combination length exceeds the maximum supporting distance, several C sections and/or various
supporting braces must be fitted. Data on the fixing distances of the frame also apply to Halyester
boxes with a “normal” contents.
If the boxes are equipped with transformers or other heavy equipment, the supporting distances must
be reduced, at customer’s own discretion.
1350 mm max.
540 mm max.
90 mm
The upright can be secured with a spacing
bracket. If the distance between the rear side of
the installation and the wall is too small, for in-
stance because top connection caps are used,
one or more spacing strips can be fitted for each
upright (see figure 6.8). When using spacing
strips, the distance between the wall and the
rear side of the installation is approximately 200
mm. The number of uprights to be fitted de-
pends on the length of the installation. The up-
rights are spaced at 1350 mm as a maximum and
the C sections at 540 mm.
Mounting
- level the uprights 53 mm
- anchor the uprights, both to the floor and to
the wall (see figure 6.7)
- fit the spacing bracket in the upper slotted Ø14 mm
hole, using the clamping bracket with which
the upper C section is also fixed to the frame 110 mm
(see figure 6.9)

busbar dimensions in line with the busbar system used (see chapter 3)
With the switchgear and controlgear assembly in back-to-back arrangement, the busbar systems must
be interconnected using two type K 433 and one type K 432 boxes.
The bottom of the type K 433 boxes must have an opening 3.
In view of the short-circuit strength the boxes in the side walls as well as in the relevant bottoms must
be provided with a busbar support.
To ensure a proper sealing between the interconnection boxes and the assembly, a type U 430 connec-
ting piece is fitted to the bottom of the type K 433 boxes.
The main busbars must be coupled in the interconnection boxes using busbar coupling clamps.
For the dimensions of the coupling busbars please refer to table 7.1.
In determining the required space, allowance must be made for any flanges for increasing depth,
protruding handles etc.
A back-to-back arrangement can only be realised by using a supporting structure for free-standing ar-
rangement, see chapter 7.

To protect switchgear and controlgear assemblies from direct sun light and rain, it can be provided
with a sun/rain cover.
This cover is available in three versions:
• free-standing arrangement
• back-to-back arrangement
• floor/wall arrangement
Parts for mounting the sun/rain cover come as a standard package with one frame standard. The cor-
rugated plates have a 900mm working width and are available in 1000mm and 1300mm lengths.
Free-standing arrangement
