MNS General
MNS systems are suitable for applications in all fields concerning the generation,
distribution and use of electrical energy, e. g., they can be used as:
Main and sub-distribution boards for energy and
Motor current supply of Motor Control Centres
• in utility companies
• in power plants
• in oil refineries
• on off-shore drilling platforms
• on ships
• in production facilities
• in sewage management
• in buildings for other than dwelling purposes.
System features
The Modular Low-Voltage Switchgear System has proven its worth for many years
worldwide. At the same time, it constitutes a safe investment for the future due to its
continuous further development. The high flexibility of the MNS system results from
a framework construction with maintenance-free bolted connections which can be
equipped as required with standardized components and can be perfectly adapted
to each application. The consistent application of the modular principle both in
electrical and mechanical design permits optional selection of the structural design,
interior arrangement and degree of protection according to the operating and
environmental conditions.
The design and material used for the MNS system largely prevent the occurrence of
electric arcs, or provide for arc quenching within a short time. The MNS-System
complies with the requirements laid down in IEC 1641, and was furthermore
subjected to extensive accidental arc tests by an independent institute. Type test
certificates are available.
The MNS system offers the user many alternative solutions and notable advantages
in comparison with conventional-type installations:

MNS Product description
Modular system (cubicles)
Standards
MNS is designed to comply to the requirements of the
international standard IEC 439-1 and any other referenced
IEC publication.
IEC 439-1 contains a number of sections which state that
the design is to be ”as agreed between the user and the
manufacturer”. If no other agreement is made the
ABB Installation standard is delivered.
Operating conditions
MNS switchgear is suitable for installation in closed locations
for electrical equipment and other operating facilities in
compliance with the switchgear degree of protection.
IP31-cubicles have ventilation grill in the rear panel and in roof
panels. IP31 is only used for the cubicle while all individual
distribution units are at least IP41.
IP41-cubicles are protected from contact by means of a fine
mesh grill fitted to the ventilation openings.
IP54-cubicle is without any ventilation openings and with all
doors and top plates sealed.
Corrosion resistance
The corrosion protection is obtained by using corrosion
resistant materials.
All visible panels such as doors, end panels, rear panels, etc.,
are painted only to enhance the appearance of the switchgear.
All painted panels are protected by a 20 µm thick layer of zinc.
Cubicle design.
Non-painted panels and basic elements are manufactured
from 1.5 mm Aluzink® which is a corrosion resistant sheet
steel, plated with a 25 µm thick coating.
Anchor rails and hinges are made from zinc plated steel
(12 µm) which is then either bright or yellow chromium plated.
Mechanical design
The cubicles are made up of mechanical parts joined together by screws.
The switchgear W-cubicle has a modular hole system for the installation of
withdrawable units and cover plates. Module division: 50 mm = 1 M module.
Only the sides at the left and right ends of a row of cubicles, or the side panels on
each side of a single cubicle, need to be fitted with end panels.
The MNS-cubicles are delivered complete with engraved legend plate for cubicle
identification at the cubicle top, designation plates on the withdrawable units, and
identification plate on the cubicle bottom in accordance with IEC 439-1.
Measuring instruments
ABB CEWE Instruments are used as measuring instruments. Sizes are 96 x 96,
72 x 72 or 48 x 48 mm depending on the height of the distribution unit.
The voltmeters are of the type IQ with selector switch for measuring between
phases and between phases and neutral. A 3-pole MCB is included. The voltmeter
is delivered for ranges 0–250 V, 0–500 V and 0–600 V. V A A A
The A-meters are fed by current transformers and are available in two versions:
• with only instantaneous display (IQ)

Modular system (cubicles)
Busbar system
The busbar system is installed in the cubicle before delivery and includes horizontal
main busbar system including neutral and protective busbars; vertical busbars.
The horizontal busbars are situated, either at the top or at the bottom, in a
segregated area at the rear of the cubicle to prevent accidental contact.The busbars
in adjacent cubicles are interconnected at site after the cubicles have been fixed to
the foundation. This arrangement facilitates easy extension of an already existing
switchgear.
The vertical busbars are protected to degree of protection IP20. The apparatus
units are connected to the busbars with plug-in contacts. The vertical busbar system
are available with 3 or 4 poles and in two versions:
● metal enclosed
● insulated enclosed
Protective earth and neutral busbars can be arranged according to following
Insulated enclosed vertical busbar system.
alternatives:
● 3 pole + PEN
● 3 pole + N + PE
● 4 pole + PE.
Barriers
The switchgear cubicles is fitted with barriers:
● in front of horizontal busbar system
● between units
● between units and cable compartment
● in front of vertical busbars
● between apparatus and busbars.
The material in the barriers will not produce poisonous gases if affected by arcing.

MNS Group boards R
General
Group boards are available in two basic designs:
With miniature circuit-breakers MCB and with D-type fuses.
See overview below.
MCB units are designed without separate terminals for the
main circuit. External cables are connected directly to
apparatus and can therefore be used in a terminal row.
D-fuse units are available in three versions: without terminal –
external cables are connected directly to the D-fuse holders,
with terminal and with group switches where the switches are
positioned last and used as terminals.
