Advantages
Unlike air-insulated switchgear, these feature vacuum arc chutes within sealed welded stainless steel reservoirs pressurised with SF6 gas to provide double insulation for live parts.
Sealed SF6 reservoirs provide:
-
Insensibility to aggressive ambient (salt water, air humidity, dust, temperature)
-
Prevention of foreign matter penetration (dust, debris, small animals)
-
High resistance to arc fault due to interrogation interlocks and proven sealing
-
100% safety for service personnel to access the primary sealed enclosure
-
OPEX free switching elements and fully insulated cable adapter based connection system to improve operating personnel safety and to avoid SF6 gas handling while installing, expanding, or replacing the equipment. Time before maintenance (TBM) of the applied power switches is 10,000 switching cycles.
Technical description:

Low cost:
A switchgear customer shall bear very low OPEX while enjoying the highest degree of operating readiness, as the equipment is…
…maintenance-free,
…resistant to climatic and ambient conditions,
…compact,
…durable.
Reliability and high operating readiness:
-
Primary circuits in sealed containers are protected against environment (contamination, moist, small animals)
-
Welded enclosure remains sealed within the entire service life
-
Accessibility of switching device actuators located outside the switchgear container
-
Interlocks and logical arrangement of actuator components to prevent erroneous switching
-
Easy-to-read operating readiness indication with self-test function, resistant to ambient temperature and pressure fluctuations; non-contact measurement; remote signal transmission contacts (option): 1×NO, 1×NC
-
Low fire load
-
Sealed pressure system: the container is pressurised with maintenance-free insulating SF6 gas
