　　This article describes the occurrence of fire and combustion faults in MNS low-voltage drawer cabinets under rated load operating conditions, analyzes the relevant causes of the faults, and proposes countermeasures to eliminate hidden dangers. Keywords: MNS low-voltage drawer cabinet; Single phase grounding short circuit; Arc discharge; The transparent hose MNS low-voltage drawer cabinet is favored by a large number of power users due to its advantages of easy maintenance, multiple outgoing circuits, and small footprint. Although there are many manufacturers in the industry, their technology and production capabilities vary greatly. Many small switch factories, due to weak technical strength, do not have a comprehensive understanding of the standards and specifications related to low-voltage distribution equipment. There are safety hazards in the design and assembly of drawer switch cabinets. In addition, factors such as poor user operation and maintenance will gradually age the components inside the cabinet as the operating time increases, leading to frequent switch cabinet accidents and serious accidents such as burning.

　　1 故障經過2024年7月28日凌晨，某配電室正常運行的一臺MNS低壓抽屜柜突然發生燃燒起火故障，為防止故障擴大，現場運維人員將上一級10kV開關分閘后進行滅火，因救火及時未造成大面積起火，經確認起火源為低壓側D28饋線柜，整柜燒損嚴重，已完全喪失運行功能。相鄰柜未受影響，滅火后將重要負荷投入備用線路，繼續投入運行。經與現場工作人員確認，此配電室于2015年整體投入運行，期間運行正常，無維護保養記錄。火災報警發生前，各出線開關、負載未出現開關故障、跳閘、停電及大規模啟、停設備（設施）現象，同時經檢查運行記錄確認，各單元進線開關電流顯示正常，無過負載情況。

　　On the early morning of July 28, 2024, a MNS low-voltage drawer cabinet that was operating normally in a certain distribution room suddenly caught fire. In order to prevent the fault from expanding, on-site operation and maintenance personnel opened the 10kV switch of the previous level and extinguished the fire. Due to timely firefighting, no large-scale fire was caused. It was confirmed that the ignition source was the D28 feeder cabinet on the low-voltage side, which was severely burned and had completely lost its operating function. The adjacent cabinets were not affected, and after extinguishing the fire, the important load was put into the backup line and continued to operate. After confirmation with on-site staff, this distribution room was put into operation as a whole in 2015 and operated normally during this period, with no maintenance records. Before the fire alarm occurred, there were no switch faults, trips, power outages, or large-scale start/stop of equipment (facilities) in each outgoing switch and load. At the same time, after checking the operation records, it was confirmed that the current display of each unit's incoming switch was normal and there was no overload situation.

　　2 Fault analysis

　　2.1現場故障狀況如圖1所示，D28柜完全燒毀，柜內元器件呈焦炭狀，金屬殼架已完全變形，所有元件、標識嚴重燒毀無法辨認。經對現場局部燒損痕跡的比對分析，如圖2所示，第8回路出線單元（下數一）金屬殼架燒損情況為嚴重，燒損程度由下往上逐級降低。圖1D28柜體燒損情況

　　2.1 The on-site fault condition is shown in Figure 1. The D28 cabinet is completely burned out, and the components inside the cabinet are in the shape of coke. The metal shell frame has been completely deformed, and all components and markings are severely burned out and cannot be identified. After comparing and analyzing the local burn marks on site, as shown in Figure 2, the metal shell frame of the 8th circuit outgoing unit (bottom one) suffered the most severe burn, with the degree of burn decreasing step by step from bottom to top. Figure 1D28 Cabinet burning situation

　　2.2故障原因分析通過對D28柜現場情況的詳細勘測、取樣，并對樣件進行檢測及綜合分析，運用仿真技術模擬還原運行狀態，并得出結論：開關柜起火的主要原因是第8回路開關進線端導體單相接地短路，引發弧光放電，起火燃燒。具體分析如下：經對D28柜第8回路進、出兩端插接件檢查，插接件無明顯燒損痕跡，同時檢查內部斷路器情況，內部導體未發現異常，可排除插接件和斷路器內部短路情況。經對D28柜第8回路燒損樣件檢查發現，第8回路開關進線端B相銅導線為雙股70mm且已完全熔斷，AC相也存在不同程度的大面積燒熔情況。第8回路開關進線端B相銅導線為銅編織線，熔點溫度為1083℃，柜內其它主要可燃物主要為PVC塑料，其燃燒溫度為350℃，參考ISO834國際標準中火災溫度-時間特性曲線，燃燒1h后的溫度約為950℃，小于導體的熔點溫度，并且開關出線側電流互感器測量線為僅4mm卻未熔斷。經上述分析推斷，引起導體熔斷的原因，并非起火后持續燃燒導致，通常此類情況的發生是由于接地故障或者相間短路造成。經對燒損件觀察，D28柜第8回路開關進線端導體及出線端導體均為銅編織線，查看其它柜體發現，導體外部均套有透明軟管（圖3）。經現場查驗臨柜情況，此透明軟管由于長時處于高溫環境運行，相關標識已腐蝕模糊，無從查證其功能特性及合格性，經現場取樣進行了絕緣測試，發現其并不具備相應的絕緣性能。

　　2.2 Fault Cause Analysis: Through detailed investigation and sampling of the D28 cabinet site, as well as testing and comprehensive analysis of the samples, simulation technology was used to simulate and restore the operating status. The conclusion was drawn that the main cause of the switchgear fire was a single-phase ground short circuit in the conductor of the 8th circuit switch inlet, which caused arc discharge and ignition. The specific analysis is as follows: After inspecting the connectors at both ends of the 8th circuit of D28 cabinet, there were no obvious burn marks on the connectors. At the same time, the internal circuit breaker was checked and no abnormalities were found in the internal conductor. Therefore, it can be ruled out that there is a short circuit between the connectors and the circuit breaker. After inspecting the burnt sample of the 8th circuit of D28 cabinet, it was found that the B-phase copper wire at the inlet of the 8th circuit switch was a double stranded 70mm wire and had completely melted, and the AC phase also had varying degrees of large-area melting. The B-phase copper wire at the input end of the 8th circuit switch is a copper braided wire with a melting point temperature of 1083 ℃. The other main combustible materials in the cabinet are mainly PVC plastic, with a combustion temperature of 350 ℃. Referring to the fire temperature time characteristic curve in the ISO834 international standard, the highest temperature after 1 hour of combustion is about 950 ℃, which is lower than the melting point temperature of the conductor. In addition, the measuring wire of the current transformer on the output side of the switch is only 4mm but not melted. Based on the above analysis, it can be inferred that the cause of conductor melting is not due to continuous combustion after ignition. Usually, such situations occur due to grounding faults or phase to phase short circuits. After observing the burnt parts, it was found that the incoming and outgoing conductors of the 8th circuit switch in D28 cabinet were both copper braided wires. Upon inspection of other cabinets, it was found that the conductors were covered with transparent hoses on the outside (Figure 3). After on-site inspection of the cabinet situation, it was found that the transparent hose had corroded and blurred its relevant markings due to long-term operation in a high-temperature environment, making it impossible to verify its functional characteristics and qualification. After on-site sampling and insulation testing, it was found that it did not have the corresponding insulation performance.

　　現場隨機取樣后，對其進行化驗分析，發現透明軟管主要成分為聚氯乙烯，是一種不穩定的聚合物，在光、熱、機械力、氧及某些活性金屬離子存在時會發生分解，放出氯化氫，隨著氯化氫分解的數量增加，軟管會老化，由原來透明逐漸發黃，逐漸變薄、變脆，容易斷裂；同時，其介電性能與受熱情況有關：當加熱使PVC分解釋放出氯化氫，氯離子的存在會導致其電絕緣性能明顯下降，因此此透明軟管通常不作為主回路導體絕緣通流使用。與此同時，對相應臨柜進行檢查，這種透明軟管均已發黃老化，且這種導體安裝在柜體中易緊貼金屬外殼，承受殼體內凸出的金屬固定件的擠壓，呈明顯受力狀態，這些情況都極易造成老化的軟管破裂。這種安裝方式不符合GB/T7251.1-2013《低壓成套開關設備和控制設備》第1部分總則中8.6.3條裸導體和絕緣導線的規定。經現場調查，D28柜第8回路抽屜柜所帶負載為大容量空調，時值夏季高溫，且長期處于較高負載運行，配電室風扇、空調等環控降溫設施配備不足，導體承受內外雙重高溫，致使處于擠壓、受力狀態的導體外部包覆的透明軟管在高溫下加速老化、開裂，造成單相導體對地短路，弧光放電，產生高溫起火燃燒，由下向上蔓延，逐級引燃各出線回路，所有的導體包覆的透明軟管成為大火燃燒的助推器，導致D28整柜完全燒損。從圖4可以看出，熔斷點在導體與母線連接端、非導體與斷路器連接端，從多個臨柜驗證，此位置緊貼金屬外殼，且受力、擠壓嚴重，已出現不同程度的劃傷、破裂，短路風險極大。

　　After random sampling on site and laboratory analysis, it was found that the main component of the transparent hose is polyvinyl chloride, which is an unstable polymer that decomposes in the presence of light, heat, mechanical force, oxygen, and certain active metal ions, releasing hydrogen chloride. As the amount of hydrogen chloride decomposition increases, the hose will age, gradually turning yellow from its original transparency, becoming thinner, brittle, and prone to breakage; Meanwhile, its dielectric properties are related to the heating conditions: when heating causes PVC to decompose and release hydrogen chloride, the presence of chloride ions will significantly reduce its electrical insulation performance. Therefore, this transparent hose is usually not used as a main circuit conductor for insulation and current flow. At the same time, inspections were conducted on the corresponding adjacent cabinets, and it was found that these transparent hoses have yellowed and aged. Moreover, these conductors are easily attached to the metal shell when installed in the cabinet, and can withstand the pressure of protruding metal fasteners inside the shell, resulting in obvious stress. These situations can easily cause the aging hoses to rupture. This installation method does not comply with the provisions of Article 8.6.3 for bare conductors and insulated conductors in Part 1 of GB/T7251.1-2013 "Low voltage switchgear and control equipment". After on-site investigation, it was found that the load carried by the drawer cabinet of the eighth circuit of D28 cabinet is a large capacity air conditioner, which operates at high temperatures in summer and has been running at high loads for a long time. The environmental control cooling facilities such as fans and air conditioners in the distribution room are insufficient, and the conductor is subjected to dual high temperatures inside and outside. This causes the transparent hose wrapped around the conductor, which is in a compressed and stressed state, to accelerate aging and cracking at high temperatures, resulting in a single-phase conductor short circuit to ground, arc discharge, and high-temperature ignition. It spreads from bottom to top, igniting each outgoing circuit step by step. All the transparent hoses wrapped around the conductor become boosters for the large fire, causing the entire D28 cabinet to be completely burned. From Figure 4, it can be seen that the melting point is located at the connection end between the conductor and the busbar, and the connection end between the non conductor and the circuit breaker. Through multiple cabinet verifications, this position is tightly attached to the metal shell and is subjected to severe force and compression, resulting in varying degrees of scratches and ruptures, posing a great risk of short circuit.

　　2.3故障其它原因分析柜內溫度過高。高負荷運行，導體長時通流，而且柜體缺乏維護，導致柜體積灰嚴重，整體散熱不良，配電室無、無空調降溫設施，開關本體及導線高溫運行，整體性能下降，壽命降低。設備及線路老化。該配電室于2005年正式投運，截止目前連續運行時間近14年，因運行工況不具備停電運檢條件，連續長時間運行，核心部件未得到及時的保養、檢測、更換，加速設備及線路老化，使用壽命降低。

　　2.3 Analysis of Other Causes of Malfunctions: The temperature inside the cabinet is too high. High load operation, prolonged current flow of conductors, and lack of maintenance of the cabinet body result in severe dust accumulation and poor overall heat dissipation. The distribution room lacks dehumidification and air conditioning cooling facilities, and the switch body and wires operate at high temperatures, leading to a decrease in overall performance and lifespan. Equipment and circuit aging. The distribution room was officially put into operation in 2005 and has been in continuous operation for nearly 14 years. Due to the operating conditions not meeting the conditions for power outage operation and inspection, the core components have not been maintained, tested, and replaced in a timely manner, accelerating the aging of equipment and lines and reducing their service life.

　　3應對措施抽屜柜中進出線導體應選用正規低壓電纜或者帶有絕緣熱縮管包覆的銅排，并按照相關標準進行安裝；配電室應確保開啟設備監控系統，以便于調取、查閱設備運行狀態。針對歷史數據做好統計分析，并對標實際運行數據，及時發現異常并隱患。同時配電室應加強送排風系統的管理，送排風功率及效能應滿足正常運行需求；配電室內的運行低壓柜應定期進行質量排查，尤其針對內部開關、銅導線、插接件等核心部件，必要時進行更換。配電室所帶負載應進行分級分類并逐一進行標識，對非常重要及重要負荷應增加必要的保護裝置，制定針對性運檢計劃并落地實施；定期組織運維人員及配電室管理人員進行有效的技能培訓，比如配電室運維知識、突發異常緊急處理、防護等課題培訓，并定期開展應急演練及實操考核，提升人員技能水平和應對突發事件的應變能力[6]。

　　The incoming and outgoing conductors in the drawer cabinet should be selected from regular low-voltage cables or copper bars with insulation heat shrink tubing, and installed in accordance with relevant national standards; The distribution room should ensure that the equipment monitoring system is activated for easy retrieval and viewing of equipment operating status. Conduct statistical analysis on historical data and benchmark it against actual operational data to promptly identify anomalies and eliminate potential hazards. At the same time, the management of the air supply and exhaust system in the distribution room should be strengthened, and the power and efficiency of the air supply and exhaust should meet the requirements of normal operation; The low-voltage cabinet in the distribution room should undergo regular quality checks, especially for core components such as internal switches, copper wires, and connectors, which should be replaced if necessary. The loads carried by the distribution room should be classified and labeled one by one. Necessary protective devices should be added for very important and critical loads, and targeted operation and inspection plans should be developed and implemented; Regularly organize effective skill training for operation and maintenance personnel and distribution room management personnel, such as training on distribution room operation and maintenance knowledge, emergency handling of sudden abnormalities, safety protection, and other topics. Regularly conduct emergency drills and practical assessments to comprehensively improve personnel skill levels and their ability to respond to emergencies.

　　Attachment: Reset operation after the MNS unit drawer switch is tripped due to fault current. 1. After the main switch (molded case circuit breaker) in the outgoing unit is tripped due to fault current, the handle of the operating mechanism is still in the "∣" (closed) position. For units above 1 (drawer), the closing mechanism handle (counterclockwise) should be rotated to the 45 ° RESET position at the bottom left, and then the handle (clockwise) should be rotated to the "○" (opening) position. At this point, the circuit breaker returns to its normal opening position (hot standby state), completing the reset operation. After the reset operation is completed, the closing operation can be performed again.
