User interface and interlocking mechanism
Safety interlocking
The Load Break Switch (LBS), Vaccum Circuit Breaker (VCB) and fuse switch modules have safety interlocked mechanisms via a
manual, pull-down operation collar on the fascia. This collar inhibits the use of the operating handle when in the upper position, and when
used in conjunction with padlocks, it prevents unauthorised access to the mechanisms. The LBS selector, VCB and fuse switch selector
disconnector have interlocked access via a rotary selector and operation collar respectively, which can be secured with padlocks to prevent
unauthorised operation.
The cable boxes and Earth & Test facility also have safety interlocked access, via a single rotary selector located on the fascia. This too can
be secured with padlocks to prevent unauthorised access to the cables and test bushings.

Circuit breaker protection – time limit fuse
Two types of protection devices are offered
to protect the circuit breaker:
• Time Limit Fuse (TLF)
• Protection relays
• IDMT
TLF
When utilised in conjunction with circuit breaker type ring
main units, time limit fuses (TLF) are a cost effective method
of providing fault protection for overcurrent and earth faults
(optional) to a transformer of upto 2000kVA. The time limit fuse
link is shunted with a trip coil which is fed from the protection
current transformer. In the event of a fault the fuse ruptures and Fuse dimensions: Length 57mm x Diameter 13mm
the fault current is diverted through trip coils, which trip the curcuit
breaker.
It is a recognised method of protection and was developed to comply with EA 41-26 (now superseded by ENA TS 41-41) with fuse links in
accordance with
ENA TS 12-6.
It should be noted that the TLF protection system is not a device for limiting overload levels of individual transformers. It should be used for
fault protection only.
The TLF system provides protection for overcurrent and earth faults between the MV circuit breaker and the LV protection device. The
selected fuse rating should be such that it allows for discrimination between the MV & LV devices. This will ensure that the circuit breaker
does not open for faults beyond the LV device.
A TLF equipped circuit breaker can be fitted with a shunt trip coil to enable tripping for the circuit breaker from other remote signals such as
transformer bucholtz, winding temperature or LV intertripping.
TLF protection is a cost effective way of utilising the advantages of circuit breaker technology without the expense of IDMT relays at loads
upto 2MVA. and is used extensively throughout the world.

Circuit breaker protection – relays
Protection relays
The Aegis Plus range can be fitted with self-powered relays for
protecting the transformer or downstream network from fault
currents by tripping the Circuit Breaker. These relays incorporate
many advanced features and have a variety of settings to provide
discrimination protection in networks.
The self-powered feature eliminates reliance on external power

sources to provide greater operational reliability. Optional
password protection ensures that users have complete control
of the device, and fault occurrences can be stored in non-volatile
memory for greater assurance.
Features
• Short circuit and overcurrent protection
• Dual and self-powered for greater operational assurance
• Earth fault and thermal overload protection
• Added tripping functionality including

circuit breaker and remote tripping
• Tripping indication and fault recording
• Measurement of fault currents
• Multiple I / O for diverse applications
• Modbus protocol support
• Digital display and LED indication
• Password protection
Benefits
• Reduced fault time with detailed diagnostics
• Wide range of transformers supported
• Fast response protection of MV networks
• Support for diverse industrial applications
• Improves reliability of circuit breaker
• Simple operation with minimal maintenance

Options and accessories – VPIS and VDS
Voltage presence indication system

The VPIS receives a voltage signal through the voltage divider built into the cable bushings, enabling the operator to detect live voltage. It can also
be fitted with neon lights and momentary latching push buttons to show voltage presence without needing external testing probes.
Three types of voltage presence indication devices are available with Aegis Plus:
Sockets only for external indication Georg Jordan VPIS with push to test
Neon indicators with push-to-test buttons
and Pfisterer phase comparator and phase comparator sockets
and phase comparator sockets
device.
Voltage detection system

In addition to detecting the presence of voltage signals, the VDS can additionally detect the absence of voltage. This provides an additional
layer of assurance and offers a more reliable solution for monitoring voltage status within Aegis Plus.

Internal arc protection
Internal arc classification (IAC) Methods of protection
Aegis Plus is available in three internal arc protection formats: AF and AFL protection is achieved by venting arc gases through
the rear of the unit via a sacrificial metallic pressure relief plate.
• AF (Front protection)
AFLR protection is available in two formats; venting down through
• AFL (Front and lateral protection)
the cable trench, or by venting upwards through a dedicated
• AFLR (Front, lateral and rear protection) chimney. These options maximise operational safety and provide
a truly secure switchgear solution.
These ratings are applicable to the SF6 insulated gas tank and the
cable compartments. The units are configured on order, allowing
for protection to be tailored to application requirements.

Gemini 3 RTU integration
Aegis Plus can be configured with the next- Characteristics
generation Gemini 3 Remote Terminal Unit. This • Fault detection (Earth and Phase)
is an all new, highly flexible, general-purpose RTU
• LED status indicators
designed to remotely monitor and control medium
and high voltage switchgear. • Real time clock (SCADA synchronised)
• Dual isolated Ethernet and RS232 ports

The Gemini 3 has a modular design such that it can be configured
from a simple monitoring only device to a fully functional • Isolated RS485 port
automated switch controller. It has the ability to transition from
• Supervisory selection and indication
a basic to an advanced RTU by plugging in additional modules.
These modules are rugged, making the device field serviceable • Event memory – 7000 events in non-volatile memory
and future proof.
• Communication protocol
- DNP 3.0 TCP/IP or Serial

The Gemini 3 modules available are:
- IEC 60870-5-101
Master Control Module (MCM) – This contains the main processor
and supervises all modules. The MCM handles the protocol - IEC 60870-5-104
communications.
- Modbus TCP or RTU

Single Switch Module (SSM) – This provides the inputs and

outputs to perform secure interlocked control of a single gas Integrated design
enclosed switch.
Gemini 3 is an optional feature for Aegis Plus, integrated neatly
in the upper LV compartment of the unit (factory fitted). This
eliminates the need for an additional exterior control box and
Dual Switch Module (DSM) – This provides the inputs and outputs associated cabling on site.
to perform secure interlocked control of two MV ring switches.
Power Supply Module (PSM) – This module works with the switch
control modules to provide secure switching operations. The
PSM generates regulated power to all other modules and external
communication equipment. The PSM also provides the intelligent
battery charging function to maintain a secure supply.
Input Output Module (IOM) – This is a general purpose module

that covers digital and analogue inputs and relay outputs.
