III. Environmental Requirements

1. Ambient air temperature: Upper limit +40°C, lower limit -10°C;

2. Relative Humidity: Daily average not exceeding 95%, monthly average not exceeding 90%;

3. Saturation Vapor Pressure: The daily average shall not exceed 2.2 × 10⁻³ MPa, and the monthly average shall not exceed 1.8 × 10⁻³ MPa;

4. Altitude: Not exceeding 2000 meters;

5. Earthquake intensity does not exceed magnitude 8;

6. Locations free from fire hazards, explosion risks, severe pollution, chemical corrosion, and intense vibrations.

7. When used in normal environments exceeding the specifications outlined in GB3906, users should consult with the manufacturer.

IV. Product Features

1. Complies with IEC 60298 "AC metal-enclosed switchgear and controlgear rated for voltages above 1 kV and up to and including 52 kV"

, the requirements of standards such as IEC694 "Common Specifications for High-Voltage Switchgear and Control Equipment," GB3906 "3.6~40.5kV AC Metal-Enclosed Switchgear and Control Equipment," and DL/T404 "Technical Specifications for Ordering Indoor AC High-Voltage Switchgear." It features comprehensive and reliable "five-protection" functions to prevent operational errors;

2. It can be equipped with imported VD4, VB2, and HVX12 vacuum circuit breakers, as well as domestically produced VS1 vacuum circuit breakers, enabling door-closing operation; an electric chassis can also be added according to project requirements.

3. The cable room features ample space, allowing for the connection of multiple cables and ensuring convenient installation and maintenance;

4. The entire assembly consists of two main components: the cabinet body and the centrally positioned, withdrawable unit (i.e., the handcart). The cabinet body is divided into four separate compartments, with an enclosure protection rating of IP4X. When the doors to the individual compartments and the circuit breaker room are open, the protection rating drops to IP2X.

4. The circuit breaker is easy to replace, features excellent hand-cart interchangeability, and requires minimal maintenance;

5. The cabinet body is made of aluminized zinc-coated steel sheets, offering excellent corrosion resistance; busbars between cabinets are separated by insulating sleeves to prevent the spread of accidents.

6. The grounding switch features rapid make-and-break capability, offers convenient access for maintenance, and ensures personal safety; electric operation can be added according to project requirements.

7. Equipped with anti-condensation and anti-pollution features, the circuit breaker chamber, relay chamber, and cable compartment can each be fitted with heaters upon request to prevent condensation and corrosion.

8. The circuit breaker room and cable room can be equipped with lighting devices upon request, facilitating maintenance and inspection work.

9. It features overhead and cable incoming/outgoing lines, as well as other functional configurations, which, after arrangement and combination, form a complete distribution system installation.

10. Monitoring devices such as partial discharge, temperature, and video surveillance can be added to enable fully intelligent background monitoring and maintenance.

The switchgear features an armored, withdrawable metal-enclosed design, comprising a cabinet body and removable components (center-mounted hand carts). The cabinet is divided into compartments: the circuit breaker room, busbar room, cable room, and instrument room. The enclosure provides an IP4X protection rating, while the protection level between individual compartments—and when the circuit breaker room door is open—rises to IP2X. This switchgear supports various functional configurations, including overhead line connections, cable feed-in/out options, and other tailored solutions. Through proper arrangement and combination, it can be configured into a wide range of distribution systems to meet diverse application needs.

The enclosure of the switchgear is crafted from imported aluminum-zinc coated steel sheets, precisely processed using CNC machines and subjected to double bending. It is assembled with pull-rivet nuts and high-strength bolts, resulting in a sleek, aesthetically pleasing design with exact dimensions. Additionally, the material boasts exceptional resistance to corrosion and oxidation.
