Source changeover system
Catalogue
2007
PB100839
To ensure a continuous supply of electrical power, certain

installations are connected to two sources:
b a normal source N
b a replacement source R used to supply the installation when the
normal source is unavailable.
Interlocking of two Interpact switch-disconnectors

via rotary handles.
A source-changeover system switches the load between these two

sources. It can be automated to manage transfers according to
external conditions. A source-changeover system includes two or
three circuit breakers or switch-disconnectors.
PB100840
With Interpact INS, Compact NS and Masterpact NT and NW, new

installation solutions are available to optimise the size of the
switchboard and simplify installation.

Manual source-changeover system

PB100843
This is the most simple type. It is controlled manually by an operator and

consequently the time required to switch from the normal to the replacement source
can vary.
A manual source-changeover system is made up of two or three mechanically
interlocked manually-operated circuit breakers or switch-disconnectors.
Remote-operated source-changeover system

This is the most commonly employed system for devices with high ratings (above
400 A). No human intervention is required. Transfer from the normal to the
replacement source is controlled electrically.
A remote-controlled source-changeover system is made up of two or three circuit
breakers or switch-disconnectors linked by an electrical interlocking system that may
have different configurations. In addition, a mechanical interlocking system protects
against electrical malfunctions or incorrect manual operations.
PB100844
Automatic source-changeover systems

An automatic controller may be added to a remote-operated source-changeover
system for automatic source control according to programmable operating modes.
This solution ensures optimum energy management:
b transfer to a replacement source according to external requirements
b management of power sources
b regulation
b emergency source replacement, etc.
The automatic controller may be fitted with an option for communication with a
supervisor.
PB100845
Commercial and service sector:

b operating rooms in hospitals
b safety systems for tall buildings
b computer rooms (banks, insurance companies, etc.)
b lighting systems in shopping centres
PB100847

Industry:
b assembly lines
b engine rooms on ships
b critical auxiliaries in thermal power stations

Functions
and characteristics
Remote-operated
Electrical interlocking is used with the

mechanical interlocking system. It
electrically interlocks the two circuit
breakers and implements the time delays
required for proper operation of the system.
An automatic controller may be added to
take into account information from the
distribution system.
Electrical interlocking is carried out by an electrical control device.

For Compact NS up to 630 A, electrical interlocking is implemented by the IVE unit
integrating control circuits and an external terminal block. The integrated control
circuits implement the time delays required for correct source transfer.
For Compact NS630b to 1600 and Masterpact, this function can be implemented in
one of two ways:
b using the IVE unit
b by an electrician based on the diagrams presented in the Electrical diagrams part
of this catalogue.
Characteristics of the IVE unit
DB101573
b external connection terminal block:

v inputs: circuit breaker control signals
v outputs: status of the SDE contacts on the Normal and Replacement source
circuit breakers
b 2 connectors for the two Normal and Replacement source circuit breakers:
v inputs:
- status of the OF contacts on each circuit breaker (ON or OFF)
- status of the SDE contacts on the Normal and Replacement source circuit
breakers
v outputs: power supply for operating mechanisms
b control voltage:
v 24 to 250 V DC
v 48 to 415 V 50/60 Hz - 440 V 60 Hz.
The IVE unit control voltage must be same as that of the circuit breaker operating
mechanisms.

Functions
and characteristics
PB100858
The UA controller is used to create a sourcechangeover system integrating the following

automatic functions:
b transfer from one source to another
depending on the presence of voltage UN
on the Normal source
b startup of an engine generator set
b shedding and reconnection of non-priority
circuits
b transfer to the Replacement source if
one of the phases on the Normal source
fails.
The UA controller can control Compact NS
and Masterpact NT/NW devices.
UA controller
Operating modes
A four-position switch may be used to select:
b automatic operation
b forced operation on the Normal source
b forced operation on the Replacement source
b stop (both Normal and Replacement sources off, then manual operation).
Setting the time delays

Time delays are set on the front of the controller.
t1. delay between detection that the Normal source has failed and the transmission
of the order to open the Normal source circuit breaker (adjustable from 0.1
to 30 seconds).
t2. delay between detection that the Normal source has returned and the
transmission of the order to open the Replacement source circuit breaker
t3. delay following opening of QN with load shedding and before closing of QR
t4. delay following opening of QR with load reconnection and before closing of QN
t5. delay for confirmation that UN is present before shutting down the engine
generator set (adjustable from 60 to 600 seconds).
t6. delay before startup of the engine generator set (120 or 180 seconds).
Commands and indications

Circuit breaker status indications on the front of the controller:
b ON, OFF, fault.
A built-in terminal block may be used to connect the following input/output signals:
b inputs:
v voluntary order to transfer to source R (e.g. for special tariffs, etc.)
v additional control contact (not part of the controller). Transfer to the Replacement
source takes place only if the contact is closed (e.g. used to test the frequency of UR,
etc.)
b outputs:
v control of an engine generator set (ON / OFF)
v shedding of non-priority circuits
v indication of operation in automatic mode via changeover contacts.
Distribution-system settings
DB101778
Three switches are used to:

b select the type of Normal source, whether single-phase or three-phase
(e.g. 240 V single-phase or 240 V three-phase)
b select whether to remain (or not) on the Normal source if the Replacement
source is not operational during operation on special tariffs
b select the maximum permissible startup time for the engine generator set during
operation on special tariffs (120 or 180 seconds).
Test
A pushbutton on the front of the controller may be used to test transfer from the
Normal source to the Replacement source, then the return to the Normal source.
The test lasts approximately three minutes.
Front of the UA controller.
28
Using the internal bus protocol, this option may be used to remote the following
information:
b circuit breaker status (ON, OFF, fault trip)
b presence of the Normal and Replacement voltages
b presence of an order for forced operation (e.g. special tariffs)
b settings and configuration information
b status of non-priority circuits (loads shed or not)
b position of the switch (stop, auto, forced operation on the Normal source, forced
operation on the Replacement source).

Communications option for Compact NS and Masterpact

NT/NW
The COM communications option is compatible with all the source-changeover
systems for Compact NS100 to 1600 and Masterpact NT/NW circuit breakers and
It can be used to remote status information. It may not be used to operate the circuit
breakers (only possible locally on the front of the UA150 controller).
Masterpact and Compact NS630b to 1600 circuit breakers and switch-disconnectors
are compatible with the Modbus ECO COM option.
Depending on the trip units or control units used, the COM option may also be used
to analyse distribution-system parameters required for the operating and
maintenance assistance.
