Product descriptions from the supplier
Customer benefits：
Compliant with IEC standards and F-gas regulation
Compliant with IEC standards and with the EU F-gas regulation (EU) 2024/573.
High ratings up to 2500A. Single busbar modular and compact lowpressure design, based on natural origin gases (SF6 free).
Loss of service continuity LSC 2A and partition class PM*.
Reliable and flexible
Compact and modular design for space optimization.
Very low maintenance required as all high voltage parts are permanently sealed in a gas tank and protected from soiling, humidity, foreign bodies, and other environmental influences.
Due to the low-pressure design, the switchgear can remain in service up to the point of repair, even in the unlikely event of a leak.
The switchgear can be enabled with monitoring and diagnostics (e.g., temperature, gas, partial discharge) to track asset health. Automation and control features based on current and voltage sensors and IEC 61850 protocol allow for customization during the manufacturing phase and varying loads during operations.
Well known and proven vacuum circuit breaker type VD4X.
Outer cone cable termination system.
Safety
High level of operator safety with front, lateral and rear arc protection, certified AFL(R) 40kA 1s (according to IEC 62271-200).
Plug-in busbar technology and the factory-assembled pressure relief duct allows for safe, quick and easy installation at site.
With the switchgear diagram and operation controls on the front panel, no opening of the doors is required for manual operation making the switchgear operator friendly.
Wide range of monitoring and diagnostic features for safe and reliable operations. All switching devices are motor-operated and can be controlled remotely.
Mechanical and electrical interlocks prevent incorrect operation of the switchgear panels.
Technical parameters：
The voltage classes of some of these eco-friendly switchgears include 6kV, 6.3kV, 6.6kV, 6.9kV, 7.2kV, 10kV, 10.5kV, 11kV, 11.5kV, 12kV, 13.2kV, 13.8kV, 14.5kV, 14.4kV, 15kV, 15.5kV, 15.6kV, 17.5kV, 20kV, 21.9kV, 22kV, 24kV, 30kV, 33kV, 33.5kV, 34.5kV, 35kV, 36kV, 38kV, 38.5kV, 40.5kV, 44kV, 45kV, 46kV, 66kV and 69kV. and customization is available.

Why Do Substations Use Stones, Gravel, Pebbles, and Crushed Rock?Why Do Substations Use Stones, Gravel, Pebbles, and Crushed Rock?In substations, equipment such as power and distribution transformers, transmission lines, voltage transformers, current transformers, and disconnect switches all require grounding. Beyond grounding, we will now explore in depth why gravel and crushed stone are commonly used in substations. Though they appear ordinary, these stones play a critical safety and functional role.In substation grounding design—especially when multiple gr01/29/2026 -
Why Must a Transformer Core Be Grounded at Only One Point? Isn't Multi-Point Grounding More Reliable?Why Does the Transformer Core Need to Be Grounded?During operation, the transformer core, along with the metal structures, parts, and components that fix the core and windings, are all situated in a strong electric field. Under the influence of this electric field, they acquire a relatively high potential with respect to ground. If the core is not grounded, a potential difference will exist between the core and the grounded clamping structures and tank, which may lead to intermittent discharge.I01/29/2026 -
Understanding Transformer Neutral GroundingI. What is a Neutral Point?In transformers and generators, the neutral point is a specific point in the winding where the absolute voltage between this point and each external terminal is equal.
