Product descriptions from the supplier
Description:
UniSec Air is a medium voltage switchgear designed for secondary distribution up to 24kV, 630A, 20kA. It contains GSec Air, three-position load break switch or disconnector and earthing switch. This new component has a shunt vacuum interrupter for breaking capacity, dry air as the insulation medium, and a global warming potential (GWP) of zero. The switchgear also contains a vacuum circuit breaker and is fully compliant with IEC standards and the U F-gas regulation (EU) 2024 / 573.
The switchgear is based on a highly flexible and modular concept with standardized solutions that can be readily configured to meet the specific needs of each application. UniSec Air is fully tested according to IEC standard 62271-200.
UniSec Air is internal arc classified, IAC A FLR up to 20 kA, assuring safe operations for technicians when standing in front of the switchgear. Robust control and protection, metering, monitoring, and diagnostics suitable for various applications are also available.
UniSec Air is designed with a refined interface and with the same footprint, operations, and backward compatibility as the original UniSec switchgear,facilitating integration into existing systems and extensions of the installed base.

Impact of DC Bias in Transformers at Renewable Energy Stations Near UHVDC Grounding ElectrodesImpact of DC Bias in Transformers at Renewable Energy Stations Near UHVDC Grounding ElectrodesWhen the grounding electrode of an Ultra-High-Voltage Direct Current (UHVDC) transmission system is located close to a renewable energy power station, the return current flowing through the earth can cause a rise in ground potential around the electrode area. This ground potential rise leads to a shift in the neutral-point potential of nearby power transformers, inducing DC bias (or DC offset) in their01/15/2026 -
HECI GCB for Generators – Fast SF6 Circuit Breaker1.Definition and Function1.1 Role of the Generator Circuit BreakerThe Generator Circuit Breaker (GCB) is a controllable disconnect point located between the generator and the step-up transformer, serving as an interface between the generator and the power grid. Its primary functions include isolating generator-side faults and enabling operational control during generator synchronization and grid connection. The operating principle of a GCB is not significantly different from that of a standard c01/06/2026 -

How to Test Insulation Resistance of Distribution TransformersIn practical work, insulation resistance of distribution transformers is generally measured twice: the insulation resistance between thehigh-voltage (HV) windingand thelow-voltage (LV) winding plus the transformer tank, and the insulation resistance between theLV windingand theHV winding plus the transformer tank.If both measurements yield acceptable values, it indicates that the insulation among the HV winding, LV winding, and transformer tank is qualified. If either measurement fails, pairwise12/25/2025 -
