Metal Clad Switchgear
Metal Clad switchgear offers ideal solutions for applications where safety and continuity are paramount in medium voltage systems, with its advanced safety measures and high performance. Providing safety beyond traditional metal-enclosed systems, these structures play a critical role, especially in facilities with low tolerance for interruptions.
Top-Level Security and Insulation
In Metal Clad systems, all compartments are separated from each other by grounded metal plates, creating a fully insulated structure. This completely isolates operators from live medium voltage components. Grounded barriers, mechanical interlocking systems, fully insulated busbar systems and remotely controllable circuit breakers raise personnel safety to the maximum level. Additionally, the option to be equipped with active arc quenching systems allows for fast and safe intervention in case of a fault.
Comprehensive Protection and Customization Options
Metal Clad systems can offer basic or advanced protection functions depending on the installed relay system. While standard protection functions include overcurrent, undervoltage, overvoltage and circuit breaker trip commands; advanced protection features such as phase overcurrent, ground fault, frequency and phase protection and selective zone interlocking can also be integrated for more complex applications. This way, for example, even a few minutes of power outage in an iron and steel plant can be prevented, avoiding serious raw material losses.
Easy Maintenance, Quick Intervention
Designed for businesses with high service continuity, Metal Clad switchgear offers easy maintenance and quick intervention in case of a fault, thanks to its withdrawable type switching elements. The circuit breaker units can be easily removed and replaced without requiring a panel change. This minimizes the duration of the power outage.
