Follow Strategies to Mitigate and Control Arc Flash Hazards, which may include: » Overcurrent Protective Device (OCPD) Coordination Study » Upgrade Switchgear with a Virtual Main Relay » Infrared Viewing Windows » Remote Racking System » Wireless Temperature Monitoring System

Power System Design and Upgrades

We have the expertise to meet requirements for the most challenging design and upgrade projects. Our portfolio includes customers in every industry segment — from data centers to steel mills. Projects can be customized from basic design consultation to feasibility studies to a complete turnkey solution. Our capabilities include: • Substation Solutions • Switchgear Modernization • Control and Protection System Upgrades • Generator Backup Design and Construction • Power Factor Correction and Filter Design • High Resistance Grounding Conversions

Power System Assessment Services

Our assessment services provide a roadmap to optimize future capital and operational expenditures. They are customized based on your need to reduce risk to your facility from: reliability issues, process disruptions, code violations or outdated workplace safety requirements. Included in this category are:

• Power Quality Analysis

Technologies such as variable frequency drives (VFD) and robotic welders are designed to lower energy costs, but they also can give rise to unwanted harmonics and transients within an electrical system. Capacitor switching, motor starting, and ground faults within the utility infrastructure can also cause transients. The result may be only an annoyance or a shutdown that can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Our registered professional engineers will document the symptoms, examine damaged equipment, assess the power and grounding in the area, collect data using temporary monitors, and develop a report of findings that identifies the most probable cause. The report will include cost-effective mitigation recommendations to prevent future occurrences of the problem.

• Power System Grounding Evaluation Lack of proper grounding translates into an increased chance of fire, data and equipment losses, process anomalies, plant shutdowns, and workplace safety hazards. Components of a grounding system are subject to corrosion due to electro-chemical, electrolytic, or chemical reactions. Facilities that have sensitive electronic equipment are particularly vulnerable to disruptions. Our power system engineers will develop a scope of work to address your area(s) of concern.

We have over

100

strategically-located professional

engineers who

are

collectively

registered in every

state of the U.S. to

meet state licensing

requirements.

For more than forty

years, our power

system engineers

have completed

over 10,000

power system

assessments,

designs and analyses.

• Equipment Condition Evaluation, Risk

Assessment, and Contingency Planning Electrical distribution equipment is subject to degradation due to age, environmental stresses, and heat. Our professional engineers produce a basic* equipment condition evaluation by visually inspecting the equipment during a walk-through of the facility. For each non-optimum condition identified during the equipment condition assessment, a measure of risk can be defined. A contingency plan identifies a power system’s key components (major assets) and evaluates available alternatives, in case of a major asset loss. It also produces an action plan to be implemented should a major loss occur.

* A more detailed evaluation, which is performed by removing equipment covers, is most economically accomplished during the data collection phase of an arc flash study.

Power System Analytical Studies

Our analytical studies help ensure your electrical system operates as it was designed and intended. Each study includes a detailed report of findings along with corrective recommendations to help maximize the reliability and operational efficiency of your system. Our broad range of analyses includes:

• Protective Device Time-Current Coordination Analysis: Evaluates an electrical system’s protective devices, including relays, fuses and circuit breakers, and the equipment to which they are applied.

• Short Circuit Analysis: Calculates the fault current levels throughout the power system. The interrupting duties of the devices being analyzed are compared with the available fault currents.

• Load Flow Analysis: Addresses present electrical system deficiencies or identifies system requirements to meet future demand. • Harmonic Analysis: Found in facilities with a large number of non-linear loads (including electronic networks), a harmonic analysis identifies the sources of the power quality issues that can reduce system efficiency and increase operating costs.

• Motor Starting Analysis: The most significant effect of starting large motors is voltage sag, which extends the acceleration time, potentially causing thermal and mechanical stresses. This analysis calculates the voltage, current, and the accelerating torque of motors during the starting process.

• Switching Transient Modeling and Analysis: Determines stresses that system components are exposed to and recommends corrective measures. • Reliability Analysis: Quantifies the probability that a system or component will operate as intended. These are typically performed for mission-critical power systems.

• Substation Ground Grid Analysis: Optimizes grid geometry and evaluates high-risk areas of the switchyard. Opportunities for risk mitigation are also identified. • Stability Analysis: Evaluates various power system scenarios corresponding to switching actions or the initiation of a fault. They are typically applied to facilities that utilize large generators.

Our qualified field service representatives provide comprehensive maintenance and testing services with a scope of work that includes: • Equipment inspection • Overcurrent protective device testing • Cleaning and lubrication • Adjustments • Oil testing • Electrical testing, including insulation, current path, system function and others

Predictive Maintenance Solutions

Schneider Electric Services offers predictive maintenance solutions to detect early warning signs and help prevent downtime. Monitoring the condition of equipment provides trending data and alarming to help anticipate and plan maintenance activities. • Infrared Windows Schneider Electric Services provides infrared windows that can be retrofit into any brand of electrical distribution equipment. Having infrared windows installed in existing equipment enables permanent access for inspection of electrical components without disturbing operations. More importantly, it removes the operator from contact with energized parts.

• Wireless Temperature Monitoring System (WTMS) WTMS provides 24/7 temperature monitoring of critical connections within electrical distribution equipment, even areas not seen by infrared cameras. Early detection of heat build-up alerts maintenance personnel of abnormal conditions before they result in forced outages. Sensors, installed inside equipment, transmit temperature readings through a receiver to software to be analyzed. Monitoring temperature in equipment provides trending data to help anticipate and plan maintenance activities, saving time and money.

• Partial Discharge Monitoring

Partial Discharge (PD) is a localized electrical discharge in an insulation system. It is a leading indicator of insulation breakdown and occurs in electrical equipment under high voltage stress. Schneider Electric Services offers Partial Discharge Monitoring Technology to detect and notify facility engineers of impending insulation breakdown. Monitoring sensors can be furnished either in new switchgear or field installed by Schneider Electric Services during a planned outage. Sensors are wired to a monitoring unit, which can be tied into an existing SCADA system via open protocol. Schneider Electric Services will evaluate the monitored results against an existing database and provide a detailed report of findings.

Modernization and Upgrade Solutions

Facility managers are often faced with the choice of maintaining an aging

(or obsolete) electrical installation or replacing it with new equipment to take

advantage of current technology.

Even equipment that has been well-maintained may need additional upkeep or upgrades. Factors to consider include the operating environment, availability of spare parts, reliability and the cost of ongoing maintenance. There may also be the need to increase the equipment’s fault or continuous current rating.

Switchgear Modernization Solutions

New design capabilities exist to modernize and extend the life of the active components of switchgear, i.e., circuit breakers, while leaving the existing switchgear structure intact. Schneider Electric Services offers direct replacement and retrofill options to upgrade existing equipment to current technology at a fraction of the cost of new equipment. Our direct replacement and retrofill solutions are available for

any manufacturer’s brand of low- and medium-voltage switchgear. Both options are designed to improve reliability, reduce maintenance and increase equipment capabilities. • Direct Replacement: Circuit breakers are designed to fit into the existing cubicle with little-to-no modification to the switchgear cell. Direct replacement solutions reduce downtime since there is minimal (if any) outage on the equipment bus.

» Low Voltage: A standard Masterpact™ _cradle

is installed into an adapter cradle to form one assembly, which is then installed into the switchgear cubicle. This cradle-in-cradle assembly locks into place and remains in the switchgear cell after the initial installation. The new Masterpact circuit breaker racks in and out of the adapter cradle. A new door is installed, however cell interlocks, the racking mechanism and the switchgear structure are not modified.

» Medium Voltage: Our Magnum™ _{medium-voltage}

replacement circuit breaker is designed to fit directly into the existing OEM switchgear. An adapter cradle is not utilized. • Retrofill Solutions: The existing switchgear cell and bus are modified to accept the new circuit breaker. » This switchgear upgrade option requires a longer bus outage, during which time the internal circuit breaker cell is modified to accept the new circuit breaker. A retrofill solution is often used in lieu of the direct replacement option for larger devices, such as main breakers and tie breakers. As with the direct replacement, retrofill solutions are available for any manufacturer’s existing low- and medium-voltage equipment.

Low Voltage Motor Control

Center Upgrades

Motor control center structures and internal bus work typically have a long life. Their unit racking systems are simple and most likely, in good shape. So why replace the entire motor control center when problems arise? Schneider Electric also offers direct replacement and retrofit options to upgrade low voltage motor control centers. Both options are designed to improve reliability, reduce maintenance and increase equipment capabilities. • New direct replacement motor control center units are available for many common vintage and current style motor control centers. This approach minimizes outage time and reduces costs associated with having to match existing footprints for the removal and reinstallation of cables. Replacement units can be installed over an extended period, which provides an overall equipment upgrade on a limited maintenance budget. • When a direct replacement unit is not available, Schneider Electric Services can retrofit a genuine OEM bucket with all new Square D™ _components. The genuine OEM stab assembly is reconditioned to like-new condition and the bucket is painted white enamel. All work is performed by factory-trained personnel.

Additional Services

Schneider Electric Services also offers these maintenance and testing services: • Circuit breaker reconditioning • Contactor conversions for motor starting applications • Network protectors • Legacy product support and upgrades

For both the direct replacement and retrofill

modernization solutions, new cubicle

doors are provided to match the existing

equipment and new circuit breaker face.
