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:

• high impact strength


• self-extinguishing
• non-hygroscopic
• resistant to all weather conditions
• resistant to tracking
• immune to large temperature variations
• low weight
• easy to machine
• UV-resistant

1-2 Introduction Version 1.1


Halyester manual

1.3 General system description


Halyester switchgear and controlgear assemblies are designed as movable or stationary systems
for indoor and outdoor installation. The ambient temperature may vary between + 70°C and -
25°C. In the case of outdoor installation it is advised to protect the assembly against direct sun-
light and rainfall under extreme conditions.

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.

2.3.2 Locking and sealing

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.

2.3.3 Mounting plates for installing equipment

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.

2.3.4 Press-in nuts for fixing equipment

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.

2.3.5 Condensate discharge and ventilation

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.

3.2 Punching of openings

3.2.1 Hand-operated punching machine


Openings in the casings of Halyester boxes can be made in different ways. One of the options is pun-
ching, using the hand-operated punching machine described below.

Punching machine description


- height including removable handle 1150 mm, and without handle 470 mm
- maximum width 390 mm
- overall depth excluding handle 350 mm
- weight 80 kg

The frame plate has four 12mm dia. openings for fixation of the punching machine.
The machine is equipped with a fixed punching tool for opening 2.
The stop strip has 4 centring pins, allowing the required openings to be punched in all casings.

Punching machine operation


- place the casing (with the fixing holes for the cover) onto the centring pins under the punching
machine
- punch the four fixing holes in the casing by pulling the handle
- the machine is suited for punching opening 2 in one go. Openings 3 and 4
require several punching operations.

3.2.2 Marking-off templates for feed-


through openings

For making openings in casings, not only a pun-


ching machine but also a saw can be used.
The openings to be sawn out can be marked off
by means of templates, which are available for
openings 2, 3 and 4.
Hand tools can be used to simply make openings
in the casings which are easy to work on.

3.4 Assembly sequence for busbar boxes

3.4.1 Busbar supports


Function
Four types of busbar supports for different busbar sections are available for coupling busbar boxes in
horizontal direction and for feeding through the main busbars without causing short circuits. There
are openings for 3-phase busbars, a neutral busbar and an earth busbar. In addition, four insulated
auxiliary busbars (6 x 6 mm) can be fitted. The busbar supports can be used for opening 3 only.
The maximum support distance between two busbar supports is 360 mm in view of the short-circuit
strength of the busbar system.

*) 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.

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.

3.4.2 End caps

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:

busbar length = length of the busbar compartment + 2 x 24 mm

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.

3.4.3 Coupling of main and auxiliary busbars

Main busbar coupling


If main busbars must be coupled, one or more busbar couplings may be used. In determining the bus-
bar length, it should be considered that for each coupling 6 mm space is required between the busbars
to be coupled.

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.

Halyester manual

Auxiliary busbar coupling


When coupling auxiliary busbars, the same distance must considered as with main busbar coupling, i.e.
16.5 mm from the busbar support. The auxiliary busbars (6 x 6 mm) must be insulated with glass fibre
sleeves in view of the limited ventilating path and creepage distance between auxiliary and branch
busbars, if any. For coupling purposes, it is necessary to remove the insulation. The branch busbars
must therefore be taken into consideration when determining the coupling location.
To enable the main busbar couplings to be checked, they should be fitted to another side of the casing
or in an adjacent box.

3.4.4 Coupling of busbar connection boxes and group distribution boxes

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.

For connection to the power supply (single-side


160 A or central 250 A) there are type RG 433
and RG 434 busbar boxes accommodating 3-
phase busbars, 1 neutral busbar and 1 earth bus-
bar. The busbars are mounted in the boxes in
such a way that they can be connected using
type AA 400 or AM 400 branch terminals. These
terminals are also used in type R busbar boxes.
Figure 3.19: Busbar coupling
Coupling strips according to figure 3.19 must be
fitted to allow busbars in group distribution
boxes and busbar boxes to be coupled.

There are power supply boxes suitable for being


mounted to the side of group distribution boxes.

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.

All models are available for TN - C or TN - S systems. *)

*) TN - C = L1, L2, L3, PEN


TN - S = PE, L1, L2, L3, N

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.

This chapter shows the detail drawings for mounting busbar connections and cable inlet.

Equalising busbars for double-busbar system


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.

. Important
Do not transport pre-assembled circuit breakers in boxes

5. CABLE SEALING BOXES

5.1 Plastic cable glands

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.

5.2 Cable sealing box

Type E 403 and E 404 cable sealing boxes


Cable sealing boxes can be fitted to boxes with openings 3 and 4.
They are available in “blank’ configuration and with 60mm or 80mm dia. holes.
These holes are provided with rubber grommets from which the diameter of the cable(s) to be fed
through can be cut out. For this purpose, various nicks are made in the grommets, in line with the
most prevalent cable diameters. Before the cable sealing box with the accompanying fastener material
is fitted to the casing, the front post must be cut out of the casing which has markings for that pur-
pose. The cable sealing boxes are provided with sealing and locking screws.

Mounting
- saw the front post from the casing at the markings (see chapter 3)
- cut the rubber grommet to the correct size
- fit the grommet around the cable
- slide the bushing over the cable core and then connect the cores
- fit the cable sealing box to the casing, using four hexagon head bolts M6x8
- place the rubber grommet in the cable sealing box

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.

Figure 5.6: Sealing of the cable sealing box

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.

5.3 Segmented cable sealing box

Type EG 403 and EG 404 segmented cable sealing boxes


A maximum of two 60mm dia. cables can be fed through the segmented cable sealing box. The cable
sealing boxes can be fitted under a box with opening 3. Type EG 404 cable sealing box for opening 4 is
suited for three 60mm or two 80mm dia. cables. For the segmented cable sealing box with cable clip
there are filling pieces reducing the inlet from 60 to 40 mm. In addition, the clips for the 60mm dia.
cable can be provided with a segmented rubber ring, from which openings can be cut for cable diame-
ters of 41 - 46 and 55 mm.

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

detail of band sealing

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.

5.4 Special configuration for top connection

Top connection caps


If cables come from below and must be connected at the top in the switchgear and controlgear assem-
bly, top connection caps can be used.
A top connection cap can be provided with cable glands or a cable sealing box.
If a cable sealing box is used in combination with a top connection cap, another opening must be
made in the bottom of the casing. In this case, only type K 434 box can be used.
The hexagon head bolts M6 for fixing the cap must have a 50mm minimum length and need not be
provided with an insulated head because no voltage can be transferred from one box to the other.
Because of the additional intermediate coupling piece, the fastener material for the cable sealing box
must be about 16 mm longer than the fastener material supplied.
When top connection caps are used, the depth of the assembly will increase, which implies that exten-
ded spacers must be fitted to the frame uprights in the case of floor/wall mounting.
When the supporting frame is assembled, the uprights must be placed so that the top connection caps
do not stand in the way. For assembly of the supporting frames please refer to chapter 6.

6.1.1 Single boxes

Depending on their size, Halyester boxes have


four or six holes for wall mounting.

Mounting

- mark off the holes to be drilled in the wall,


using a pencil
- drill 6mm dia. holes in the wall Figure 6.1: Wall mounting

Boxes can also be mounted to a wall, using ex-


ternal fixing brackets. The advantage of this type
of mounting is that completely assembled boxes
(complete with cover) can be mounted to the
wall. In addition, boxes with fixing brackets can
be moved easily, for instance in the case of con-
struction work.

- remove the cover and any hinge pins Ø7 mm


- now fit the fixing bracket, using a cheese head
screw (M6 x 16), at an angle of 45° to the
bottom of the casing.

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.

6.1.2 Wall mounting for small combinations

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.

6.2 Floor / wall mounting

Switchgear which is too heavy or too large for a Ø14 mm


supporting frame for wall mounting can be pro-
vided with a frame for floor/wall mounting. Up-
rights for a floor/wall frame are available in four
heights: 1530 mm, 1800 mm, 2070 mm and
spacing bracket
2340 mm.

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)
Figure 6.7: Mounting of uprights

To allow future extensions, the centre of the ou-


ter uprights is levelled with the outside of the in-
stallation.
The frame upright in between can be placed
both at the transition between two boxes and
centrally behind a box, if top connection caps are
used or if the symmetry of the assembly calls for
such an arrangement. Ø 14 mm M6

Figure 6.8: Spacing strip at upright

The required C section length corresponds with


2 3 4
the length of the installation, i.e. the sum of the
busbar boxes measured across the widest part of
the casing, or n x 90 mm.
If the length of the controlgear exceeds the stan-
dard length of the C section (abt. 5 m), all sec- M8x16
tions to be coupled must be secured to the
upright by one clamping bracket.

To allow future extensions, only half of the C sec- 1


tion must be fitted to the outer uprights.

Mounting of boxes on a C section, using square


nuts and a filling piece, is identical to wall frame
mounting.

6.3 Free-standing arrangement

Switchgear and controlgear assemblies which


cannot be mounted to or against a wall can be
provided with a supporting frame for free-stan-
ding arrangement.
This frame can also be used for installations in
back-to-back arrangement and assemblies arran-
ged in corners.
In addition, it is possible to provide this frame
with a sun/rain cover (see chapter 7).
The frame standard for free-standing arrange-
ment consists of two uprights which must be
mounted back to back, using two spacers. Up-
rights with a length of 2340 mm require three
spacers.

A complete standard for free-standing arrange-


ment comprises the following parts:
• 2 uprights (for floor/wall mounting)
• 2 or 3 spacers
• 8 or 12 hexagon head bolts M8x20
• 8 or 12 spring washers
• 8 or 12 flat washers
• 8 or 12 hexagon nuts M8

When spacers are fitted, it should be taken into


account that no C sections must be secured at
the place reserved for these spacers.
Otherwise, the positioning of a frame for free-

6.4 Wall frame extensions

6.4.1 Wall frames for small combinations

Wall frames can be extended both to the left


and right. In addition, it is readily possible to ex-
tend an installation both in upward and down-
ward direction.

Mounting
C sections are extended to the left and right as
coupling strip
follows:

- determine the length of the sections to be


extended; their length is identical to the width
Figure 6.11: C section extension
of the combination to be built on, measured
across the widest part of the boxes

- remove the square nuts (used to secure the


fixing braces to the C sections) from the
installation side to be extended

- fit half of the coupling strip in the existing


section, as shown in figure 6.11

- fit the fixing brace and the existing box to the


coupling strip

- extend the frame by sliding the extension


section onto the coupling strips and fixing it

For subsequent frame mounting please refer to


the rules set out in this chapter.

Halyester manual

6.4.2 Floor/wall frames and frames for free-standing arrangement

Frames for floor/wall mounting and free-stan-


ding arrangement can be extended at both sides
of the installation.
In this case the distance between the new frame
uprights and the outer existing standard is not
allowed to exceed 1350 mm either.
The required C section length corresponds with
the length of the extension, measured across the
widest part of the busbar box(es).
Figure 6.12: C sections bracketed to upright

The new sections on the outer upright of the


existing installation and the section already fit-
ted are secured as follows by one clamping
bracket:

- loosen the hexagon bolt a little and slide the


C section under the bracket. Then re-tighten
the bolt.

If the extension requires one or more sections to


be mounted on the upright of the existing instal-
lation, the required clamping brackets and
sections can be fitted in those places without
C section. This is not only true of floor/wall frame
extensions but also of free-standing frame
extensions.

7.2 Back-to-back arrangement

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.

7.3 Sun/rain cover

Types of arrangement
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

These arrangements are shown diagrammatically below.

free-standing back-to-back floor/wall

Figure 7.9: Sun/rain cover arrangements

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
U-bracket
A free-standing cover is assembled as follows:
C section
- fit the support strip to the inside of the up support strip
rights, using the hexagon head bolt (M8 x 25) M6x20
in the upper slotted hole of the upright
- if the upper slotted hole in the upright is also
M8x25 clamping bracket
used to fit the C section to the upright, the
support strip must be fixed by means of a upright
hexagon head bolt and a clamping bracket
- fix the C section (with the opening pointing Figure 7.10: Fixation of C section
downwards) to the support strip with U
bracket, using two hexagon head bolts
(M6x20).

Version 1.1 Special configurations 7-7
