Method for performing service/maintenance on a switchgear panel, and related switchgear panel

摘要

A switchgear panel and a method for servicing/maintaining a switchgear panel are disclosed which provide a Human Machine Interface that includes a first memory unit, and a first circuit breaker on board of which an Intelligent Electronic Device is placed. The Intelligent Electronic Device having an associated memory unit. The first memory unit and/or on the associated memory unit storing sets of data related to one or more of the switchgear panel, the first Intelligent Electronic Device, and the first circuit breaker. The Human Machine Interface is in operative communication with the first Intelligent Electronic Device, to transfer and save one or more of the sets of data stored on the associated memory unit onto the first memory unit or vice versa.

1. A method for servicing or maintaining a switchgear panel comprising one or more compartments suitable to accommodate corresponding electrical or electronic equipment, said equipment including a Human Machine Interface (HMI) having an associated HMI memory unit, a circuit breaker having a shaped body and an Intelligent Electronic Device (IED) positioned on said shaped body and having an associated IED memory unit, wherein at least one of said HMI memory unit and said IED memory unit having thereon saved sets of data related to at least one of said switchgear panel and said equipment within said switchgear panel, and wherein said Human Machine Interface is in operative communication with said Intelligent Electronic Device, the method comprising:
repairing said circuit breaker such that data stored in the IED memory unit changes; and in the HMI or IED: comparing data sets stored in the IED memory unit with data sets stored in the HMI memory unit; identifying differences between the compared data sets; and transferring at least a portion of first differing data from the IED memory unit to the HMI memory unit, and at least a portion of second differing data from the HMI memory unit to the IED memory unit to maintain at least a functionality of the switchgear panel corresponding to pre-equipment repair.
