1 MNS iS Design & Components
1.1 Switchboard Construction
MNS iS as part of the ABB Low Voltage
Switchgear solution uses the well proven ABB
MNS standard design aspects. MNS aspects
described in this section are fully applicable to
MNS iS.
MNS system is a verified design in accordance
with IEC61439-1/-2.
The consistent application of the modular
principle both in electrical and mechanical design
as well as the use of standardized components
allows its flexible and compact design.
Depending on operating and environmental
conditions different design levels are offered.
Notable system advantages with regard to
design aspects:
Compact, space-saving design
Easy project and detail engineering
through standardised components
Verified design acc. IEC 61439-1/-2
Earthquake-, vibration- and shock-proof
designs are available
Easy retrofitting without the need for
switchgear de-energizing
Maintenance-free busbar construction
High operational reliability and availability
Optimum personal protection
1.1.1 Functional separation
The switchboard is divided into vertical and
horizontal compartments thus separating different
functional areas.
As even power cabling and control wiring are
strictly separated within MNS iS, the switch-
board is structured as follows:
Figure 1 Functional areas: Incomer and MCC
1. Equipment compartment
All equipment, including the standard motor
starter modules MStart or feeder modules
MFeed in withdrawable design, is situated
therein. The compartment can be divided in
horizontal and vertical sub compartments.
2. Control cable compartment
Contains the integrated control devices
MControl, control cables and terminals.
3. Power cable compartment
Contains power cables and connection units.
4. Busbar compartment
Contains the MNS main busbar system and
distribution bars. The distribution bars are
embedded in the Multifunction Separation Wall
(MFW) which is located between the Equipment
compartment and the Busbar compartment

1.1.2 Cable Compartments
Access to integrated components such as
electronic protection relays on standard
switchgear is usually not possible if the module is
energized.
As an outstanding attribute MNS iS switchgear
provides separate compartments, one for power
cables on the right hand and another for control
cables on the left hand. The two cable compart-
ments can be provided with different key locks in
order to assure specific access rights.
MNS iS motor/feeder cables are housed in their
own power cable compartment completely isol-
ated from any control equipment or wiring. The
cubicle arrangements are configured suitable for
front cable access.
The power cable compartment can be provided
with cable entry from the top or bottom of the
cubicle.
The control cables have their own control cable
compartment completely segregated from the
power compartments.
This control compartment also houses the
integrated motor control units MControl and other
associated control equipment.
The control wiring can enter from the top or
bottom as required for the project. External
signals (such as pushbuttons, indicators etc.)
connect directly to the MControl main board.

1.2 Withdrawable Module Design
MStart and MFeed modules of withdrawable
design provide a maximum of plant and
operator safety.
As per definition in IEC 61439-1/-2
withdrawable modules can be electrically
disconnected (“withdrawn”) without the help of
a specific tool with respect to the main
incoming circuit, the main outgoing circuit as
well as the auxiliary circuits.
MStart and MFeed are standardized
components, ready-to-use and offered for a
wide application range leading to maximum
flexibility.
The high device packing density allows a
comparatively low footprint of the MCC.
Figure 3 MStart modules in MNS iS switchboard
1.2.1 Main Characteristics
Multi-functional operating handle
connecting to module interlocking
mechanism (see page 52)
Ergonomic module handle to withdraw the
module
Status display (4 LED) integrated in
module front
Module rear wall with integrated contact
system and sensors
Control terminal block
MStart and MFeed comprise the power circuit and
measurement functionality, thus they are
decoupled from integrated control.
Integrated control and protection functionality is
performed by the allocated MControl located in
the control cable compartment.
Utilisation of conventional feeder modules for
energy distribution is possible for conventional
control instead of MControl functionality.

1.3 Fixed Module Design
For specific applications MStart is offered in
fixed design. The module size is 85E (full
height of the switchboard).
Fixed modules are utilised for motor starting
solutions where a rating in excess of 250kW is
required for DOL starting and 160kW for Star
Delta.
The motor starter components such as the
switching device, contactor and shunt modules
are mounted in the main compartment.
The MControl and field I/O connections are
located either in the upper compartment or
lower compartment, dependant upon the cable
entry requirements. For example, when cable
entry is from below the MControl is located in
the upper compartment and vice versa.

1.5 Power Contact
The precision engineered power contact type 101
is characterized by a turn-able bearing, thus
uncoupling cable and contact. Consequently any
occurring bending forces can-not affect the
stability of the contact.
The mechanical stabilisation is taken over by the
supporting plate whereas the contact fingers
ensure positive electrical contact. Contact fingers
are silver plated.
The contact design has been verified and
exceeds the requirements of IEC 61439-1/-2.
Tests:
Design verified acc. IEC 61439-1/-2
Corrosion test acc. DIN 50017 and IEC
60068-2-60
Crimping quality check acc. IEC 61238-1
Vibration and shock test acc. IEC 60068-2-6
and IEC 60068-2-27
Further on during manufacturing each single
contact is subject to a particular routine test
screening its function and contact force.

1.6.10 Communication Details
The communication between MLinkand the
MControl devices internally is a RS485 peer-to-
peer communication (max 10MBps) with a deter-
ministic Master-Slave protocol.
Up to 60 MControl devices can be connected to
one MLink. The wiring between all MControl and
MLink Motor Operation via Human Machine
Interface (Web Interface) is built-in inside the
switchboard, no additional wiring is required.
Multiple MLink can communicate via fieldbus
(Profibus or MODBUS) to the control systems.
The MLink acts as a standard fieldbus slave
device in Master-Slave communication protocols.
As an option, redundancy in communication
systems and fieldbus technology allows data
communication between a PLC or PCS master to
slave devices on two independent
communication links. This may be utilized if a
higher availability of the communication link is
required.
The MLink contains time server / client
functionality as an option to provide accurate
time signal to all MControl. The time stamp of
alarm and events from MControl is distributed to
a higher level Process Control System via the
Ethernet network.
