Technical data Room planning Plan view Recommended minimum distances for maintenance In case of a room height of above 4000 mm, pressure relief is adequate from the top. Otherwise, the pressure relief system must be evaluated according to the room conditions. In case of a room height of above 4000 mm, pressure relief is adequate from the top. Otherwise, the pressure relief system must be evaluated according to the room conditions. Fig. 15 Example of pressure relief channel

Technical data Connection Connection with cables Connection with busbar system Fig. 16 Possibilities for connection of an HB1 switchgear The connection to the generator and the transformer can be done by means of either cables, fully-insulated busbars or non-phase segregated bus ducts. The connection to the terminals can be either from top, bottom or horizontally from the left and right side. Similar connection types are available for VB1 switchgear. The location is to be dened according to the project requirements. *) Only without auxiliary feeder 12 HB1 and VB1 Generator Circuit-Breaker Switchgear...

Technical data Connection types The connection to the generator and transformer can be done by means of either cables, fully-insulated busbars (e.g. make Preissinger® or DURESCA®) or non-phase segregated bus ducts. The connection to the terminals can be either from top, bottom or horizontally from the left and right side. Additionally, an isolated phase bus duct with a phase-centre distance < 510 mm can be connected from the side. The access to the connection terminals is covered with nonmagnetic sheet metal which is cut out according to the number of cables and respectively the diameter of busbars....
