Power Cell Compartment
The MVMCC power cell compartment is the heart of the controller. It contains all power circuitry, including proprietary non-load break isolation switches, integrated power fuses, contactors, and current and control power transformers. The MVMCC power cell compartment is fully interlocked (electrically and mechanically) to provide an enhanced safety level. See "Standard Features" on page 5 for detailed information about our market-leading technology.
Standard Features
Bulletin 1502: Fixed Mounted Vacuum Contactors
The Allen-Bradley vacuum contactors are designed as fixed mounted devices for heavy-duty industrial performance. This design helps reduce the maintenance and reliability concerns that are associated with drawout-style contactors. Also, there are no drawout stab and finger assemblies, which require routine maintenance.
Our compact and low maintenance design reduces the need to remove the power cell. The contactors are designed to operate with Rockwell Automation's IntelliVAC family of control modules or optional pilot relay-type control.
Advantages
- Lightweight, compact design
- Minimal maintenance required
- High interrupting capability
- Low chop current
- Visual contact wear indicator (no measurement tools required)
- Mechanical interlocking to the non-load break isolation switch
- Excellent dielectric recovery for high switching frequency
- Single coil/core magnet assembly (800 A only)
- Control power transformer primary-fuse holders (400 A only)
- All major components are easily accessed from the front
- Mechanical latch design version (optional)
- Easily integrated into control circuit with quick connector and wire harness (optional)
- Optimized to complement the advanced features of the IntelliVAC contactor control module
Applications
Medium voltage (1000...7200V) vacuum switching for motor starter loads (asynchronous, synchronous)
- Full-voltage
- Reduced voltage
- Variable-frequency drives
- Transformer feeder unit loads
- Capacitor loads
Bulletin 1503: Non-Load Break Isolation Switch
The isolation switch is a non-load-break type switch, available to support either clip-on or bolt-on fuses. When opened, the switch delivers a dead-fronted power cell for enhanced safety. Positively driven auxiliary contacts provide safety interlocking of the low voltage control circuitry.
Electrical and mechanical interlocks help prevent the switch from opening or closing when the medium voltage vacuum contactor is energized, or if a power cell door is open.
Standard Features
- Three pole, gang operated
- 400, 600 or 800 A full load current
- Auxiliary contacts: 2 N.O./2 N.C. are standard; Provisions for 3 N.O./3 N.C.
- Contact type: Catalog No. 700-CPM
- Contact Rating: NEMA 2 x A600 and 2 x P600
- Clip-on or bolt-on fuses supported
- Line and load fuse clips or bolt-on locations
- Electrically and mechanically interlocked when used with the Allen-Bradley handle module and contactor
- Shutter mechanism fully isolates the power cell from medium voltage power bus
- Switch blades are grounded in the off position
Mechanical Interlocking
A simple, heavy duty, direct drive mechanism improves reliability and helps provide excellent operator safety. All mechanical interlock mechanisms remain part of the enclosure to minimize setup adjustment.
Isolation Switch Handle Module
- Padlocking provision up to 3 padlocks in open position, 1 padlock in closed position
- Mechanical interlock with the power cell door, non-load isolation switch, and contactor
- Provision for mechanically trapped key interlocking
Low Voltage Compartment
The unique swing-out, low voltage compartment provides a separate and fully isolated area. All CENTERLINE 1500 low voltage compartments include these features:
- Enables controller testing and troubleshooting without exposing personnel to medium voltage for maximum safety
- By using the unique Test Selector Switch and external test power supply receptacle, all low voltage components can be configured and tested safely without medium voltage applied
- The Test Selector Switch additionally helps prevent backfeeding through the control transformer
- All low voltage panels are painted white, providing increased visibility, better component identification, simple access, easy product integration, and higher maintainability
The low voltage compartment can house various low voltage Intelligent Motor Control (IMC) devices for diverse protection and measurement capabilities. These IMC devices include:
- Bulletin 193: E300™ Electronic Overload Relay
- Bulletin 1426: PowerMonitor™ 5000
- Bulletin 1503VC: IntelliVAC™ Contactor Control Module
- Bulletin 1794: Flex™ I/O
- Bulletin 857: Motor/Feeder Protection Relay
- Bulletin 865: Differential Protection Relay
Product Features
Each controller consists of functional modules for high reliability and virtually no maintenance. The following product highlights include some of our patented modular technologies, which are the foundation of our high-quality CENTERLINE 1500 MVMCCS.
Non-load Break Isolation Switch
Our integrated non-load break isolation switch features a proprietary shutter mechanism and an easily accessible handle to isolate the power cell safely from medium voltage. The power cell door is interlocked with the handle mechanism to help prevent the door from being opened when the cell is energized. The state of the isolation switch can be quickly determined through a polycarbonate viewing window.
Power Fuses
Three R-rated current-limiting power fuses are applied with the vacuum contactors so no transient overload current reaches the motor. E-rated power fuses are implemented for some sizes of transformer controllers. Both bolt-on and clip-on styles are available.
Vacuum Contactors
Compact and high-performance vacuum contactors are implemented within the power cell compartment of CENTERLINE 1500 MVMCCS. These vacuum contactors are designed to enable repeatable activation and deactivation of the connected load. Their compact and low maintenance design also reduces the need to remove the contactor to replace power or control circuit transformer fuses, or do testing.
Control Power Transformers (CPT)
The standard CPT transforms the primary side medium voltage to a single-phase 120V or 240V secondary side voltage to run the control circuitry efficiently in the isolated low voltage compartment. The CPT features a standard accuracy of ±4%, with the option of ±1% accuracy per customer request.
Current Transformers
CENTERLINE 1500 MVMCCS use two styles of current transformers; donut type and bar type. Three of either types are used for overload protection and metering. Optional ground fault (zero sequence style) current transformers are also available.
