Indoor Compact Double-Busbar Metal-Clad Switchgear

Property Specification

Type: Compact Metal-Clad Medium-Voltage Switchgear / Double-Busbar Modular Indoor Switchgear

Features: Manufactured with a weldless compact AluZink sheet-steel enclosure, this system provides metallic compartmentalization (LSC 2B, PM class) and an upper instrument compartment for auxiliary protection/control devices. Designed for maximum operational safety, the system provides front, side, and rear protection with 31.5 kA 1-second internal arc withstand (IAC AFLR) rating, and manual or motorized breaker racking with the door closed. Its space-saving front-access design enables direct wall mounting, dual-ended system extension, and seamless integration with single or double busbar configurations. It supports withdrawable/truck-type vacuum and SF6 circuit breakers, drawout fused devices, load-break disconnectors, and make-proof earthing switches.

Applications: Designed for primary power distribution in utility substations, transformer stations, and main power plants. It supports critical continuous-duty operations in heavy industries such as oil and gas pipelines, petrochemicals, mining, metallurgy, rolling mills, chemicals, paper, cement, textiles, automotive, food processing, and quarrying. It is also widely used in commercial, municipal, and transport infrastructure, including airports, seaports, railway networks, metro systems, hospitals, shopping centers, and large-scale construction projects.
