General Instructions
IG-078-EN, version 12, 23/04/2020

In view of the constant evolution in standards and design, the characteristics of the elements contained in this manual are subject
to change without prior notice. These characteristics, as well as the availability of components, are subject to confirmation by
Ormazabal.
CAUTION!
When medium-voltage equipment is operating, certain components are live, other parts may be in movement and some may
reach high temperatures. Therefore, the use of this equipment poses electrical, mechanical and thermal risks.
In order to ensure an acceptable level of protection for people and property, and in compliance with applicable environmental
recommendations, Ormazabal designs and manufactures its products according to the principle of integrated safety, based on
the following criteria:
• Elimination of hazards wherever possible.
• Where elimination of hazards is neither technically nor economically feasible, appropriate protection functions are
incorporated in the equipment.
• Communication about remaining risks to facilitate the design of operating procedures which prevent such risks,
training for the personnel in charge of the equipment, and the use of suitable personal protective equipment.
• Use of recyclable materials and establishment of procedures for the disposal of equipment and components so
that once the end of their service lives is reached, they are duly processed in accordance, as far as possible, with the
environmental restrictions established by the competent authorities.
Consequently, the equipment to which the present manual refers complies with the requirements of section 11.2 of Standard
IEC 62271-1. It must therefore only be operated by appropriately qualified and supervised personnel, in accordance with the
requirements of standard EN 50110-1 on the safety of electrical installations and standard EN 50110-2 on activities in or near
electrical installations. Personnel must be fully familiar with the instructions and warnings contained in this manual and in other
recommendations of a more general nature which are applicable to the situation according to current legislation[1].
The above must be carefully observed, as the correct and safe operation of this equipment depends not only on its design but also
on general circumstances which are in general beyond the control and responsibility of the manufacturer. More specifically:
• The equipment must be handled and transported appropriately from the factory to the place of installation.
• All intermediate storage should occur in conditions which do not alter or damage the characteristics of the equipment
or its essential components.
• Service conditions must be compatible with the equipment rating.
• The equipment must be operated strictly in accordance with the instructions given in the manual, and the applicable
operating and safety principles must be clearly understood.
• Maintenance should be performed properly, taking into account the actual service and environmental conditions in
the place of installation.
The manufacturer declines all liability for any significant indirect damages resulting from violation of the guarantee, under any
jurisdiction, including loss of income, stoppages and costs resulting from repair or replacement of parts.
Warranty
The manufacturer guarantees this product against any defect in materials and operation during the contractual period. In the
event that defects are detected, the manufacturer may opt either to repair or replace the equipment. Improper handling of this
equipment and its repair by the user shall constitute a violation of the guarantee.

General description

1.3.1. Gas tank
Sealed compartment which houses the busbar and the
switching and breaking elements, where the insulating
medium is SF6.
Each gas tank has a pressure-releasing device to allow gases
to escape in the event of an internal arc.
Thanks to the hermetically sealed nature of the gas
tank containing all the medium-voltage elements, the
equipment is expected to have a minimum service life of 30
years, without replenishing the gas according to Standard
IEC 62272-1.
Figure 1.2. Gas tank for cgmcosmos-l
1.3.2. Driving mechanism compartment
This is the compartment in which the switch-disconnector
or the circuit-breaker is actuated, depending on the type of
function.
The mimic diagram for the main medium-voltage circuit
is displayed on the cover of this compartment. The mimic
diagram includes all the position indicators for the driving
elements.
The cgmcosmos system has, in line with the cubicle model,
the following types of driving mechanism:
BTilting l, s, s-pt, rb-pt, v, 2l, 2lp, 3l, rlp, 2lv,
2l2p, 3lp, m-pt
BM Motorised tilting l, s, s-pt, v, 2l, 2lp, 3l, 2lv, rlp, 2l2p, 3lp
BR Tilting with retention p, a, 2lp, rlp, 2l2p, 3lp
AR Accumulation of energy with retention l, p, a, rlp, 2lp, 2l2p, 3lp
ARM Accumulation of energy with retention and motorisation l, rlp, 2lp, 2l2p, 3lp
AV Circuit-breaker without reclosing v
AMV Circuit-breaker without motorised reclosing v
RAV Circuit-breaker with reclosing option v
RAMV Circuit-breaker with motorised reclosing option v
AV3 Three-position circuit-breaker: A single operation acts on the circuit-breaker and the disconnector. v, 2lv
AMV3 Three-position circuit-breaker: A single motorised operation acts on the circuit-breaker and the
disconnector. v, 2lv
Figure 1.3. Types of driving mechanism
These elements are operated independently, i.e. their
actuation speed does not depend on the speed of the
manual operation.
The B, BM, BR, AR and ARM driving mechanisms can be
replaced by upgrading in any of the three positions (closed
- open - earth). While the driving mechanism is withdrawn,
these positions of the switch can be blocked using a
coupling device, whether in service or not.

1.3.3. Base
Made up of the cable compartment and the gas relief
compartment:
Cable compartment
This is located in the bottom front section of the cubicle
and has a cover interlocked with the earthing switch, thus
allowing front access to the medium-voltage cables.
As standard, it is designed to contain up to:
1. Two shielded screw-in terminals (reduced) per phase
or one terminal (reduced) plus surge arrester (reduced)
with space for the corresponding incoming power
cables.
2. Cable ties for the power cables.
3. Earthing bars.
As an option:
1. Two symmetric terminals or symmetric terminal plus
symmetric surge arrester.
2. Metallic voltage transformers.
Figure 1.4. Cable compartment
Gas relief compartment
Ormazabal's cgmcosmos is designed and constructed to
withstand at least the thermal and dynamic eects of an arc
of 16 kA for 0.5 seconds should a defect result in an internal
arc in the gas compartment. The system conducts the gases
generated in a fully controlled manner to avoid any possible
injury to people in the equipment operation area.
Optionally, a gas relief duct can be positioned in the
rear of the cubicle to redirect the gases to the top.
Please check with Ormazabal.

Important: During transport, the switchgear must
be perfectly seated and xed so that it cannot move
about and possibly damage the equipment.
2.1. Lifting means
The switchgear must always be kept upright, directly on the
ground or on a pallet depending on the type of handling
involved.
One of the following methods must be used for assemblies
of up to 4 cgmcosmos functional units:
1. Using a forklift truck or pallet truck.[3]
Figure 2.1. Lifting a cgmcosmos cubicle using a forklift truck
2. Lifting using slings or chains xed to the lifting brackets
on the sides of the top of the cubicle. The angle of pull
should be as vertical as possible (with an angle greater
than 60º from the horizontal).

Handling and transport

3. If it is not possible to lift using the aforementioned
methods, rollers may be used underneath the
switchgear. Another option is to slide the cubicles over
rods (these same rods can be used to help get over the
cable trench).
4. To handle 5 functional unit assemblies (consisting
of either coupled modules or compact assemblies
associated with modules), use lifting systems (slings,
lifting beam, etc.) with a pull angle greater than 65º and
less than 115º in order to prevent possible damage to
the cubicles during hoisting.
Use of lifting beams is required for cubicle assemblies
with control boxes. As the sole exception, slings or
chains may be used if the cubicles of the assembly
have identical height control boxes installed.

3. Storage
If it needs to be stored, the equipment must be placed on
dry ground or on top of damp-proof insulating material, still
in its original packaging.
After prolonged storage, clean all the insulating parts
carefully before commissioning the equipment. The
enclosure should be cleaned with a clean, dry lint-free cloth.
Figure 3.1. Storage
Storage must always be INDOORS, with the following
conditions recommended:
1. Ambient air temperature should not exceed 40 ºC
and its mean value, measured in a period of 24 hours,
should not exceed 35 ºC.
2. The ambient air temperature should not drop below
- 5°C. There are also cubicles with storage temperature
up to -40°C.
3. The switchgear must be protected from direct solar
radiation.
4. Altitude, both in transport and in storage, must not
exceed 2000 m.
5. The environmental air must not have any signicant
contamination from dust, smoke, corrosive and/or
inammable gases, vapours or salt.
6. The switchgear must be protected from the rain, and
the humidity conditions should be as follows:
a. The mean relative humidity value, measured over a
period of 24 hours, must not exceed 95%.
b. The mean water vapour pressure value, measured in
a period of 24 hours, must not exceed 2.2 kPa.
c. The mean relative humidity value, measured over a
period of one month, must not exceed 90%.
d. The mean water vapour pressure value, measured
over a period of one month, must not exceed
1.8 kPa.
7. During transport, vibrations caused by external factors
or seismic movements must be insignicant.
Any other conditions must be notied beforehand,
since the equipment must be factory-adjusted to
the environmental pressure at the nal destination
or during transport. Otherwise, the pressure gauge
needle may indicate an incorrect value, even if the
equipment's internal gas pressure is correct.

4. Installation
4.1. Unpacking the equipment
[4] It is advisable to cut the cellophane at the rear of the cubicle or at the corner to avoid scratching the surface.
The cgmcosmos system switchgear is supplied as standard
protected by plastic packaging.
On receiving the equipment, check that the goods supplied
correspond to the order and associated documentation. If
this is not the case, contact Ormazabal immediately.
The disassembly process for the equipment is as follows:
1. Using a blade, cutter or similar tool, cut the cellophane
the cubicle is wrapped in.[4]
2. Completely remove the cellophane.
3. Detach the white polystyrene corner pieces.
4. Unscrew the xings between the base and the pallet.
5. Remove the pallet, handling the cubicle as indicated in
section 2.1.
6. Unpack the accessories box in the front section or on
the top of the cubicle.
7. Remove the self-adhesive protective plastic from the
cable compartment cover.
The self-adhesive plastic must be removed from the
cable compartment cover so that the equipment
enclosure's earth connection may have the proper
electrical continuity.
8. Dispose of any waste in an environmentally friendly
manner.
It is advisable to make a visual inspection of the equipment
to check whether it has suered any damage in transit. If
damaged, contact Ormazabal immediately.
