1 Summary
1.1 General
Product definition
The Uniswitch is an air-insulated, metal-enclosed, three-phase, medium
voltage (MV) switchgear and controlgear. The system includes several
standardised cubicles which can be delivered either as a complete
switchgear and controlgear or as individual cubicles.
Assembly structure
The Uniswitch switchgear and controlgear system uses standard
components such as switch-disconnectors, SF
6
- or vacuum circuit-
breakers, earthing switches, instrument transformers and secondary
apparatus. The units are designed as fixed or withdrawable modules
and are fitted with a single busbar system. The withdrawable parts are
always with circuit-breakers.
By combining the standard components, a system which offers a wide
range of different device arrangements can be made.
Applications
The Uniswitch switchgear and controlgear system is designed for use in
general and industrial applications in 3.6 – 24 kV electrical distribution
networks.
