Medium-voltage, vacuum interrupter, gas-insulated switchgear

Vacuum interrupter - up to 30,000 mechanical operations Low pressure SF6 gas-insulated for insulation only and not for interruption Tested for arc-resistance to ANSI/IEEE C37.20.7-2007, type 2B Significantly reduced PPE needs Compact - up to 80 percent smaller than air-insulated switchgear 20-year internal maintenance cycle Meets IEEE and IEC standards

UL or C-UL Listing available (consult factory) Single-phase design eliminates phaseto-phase faults inside the switchgear Meets NEC visible disconnect requirement Well suited for contaminated environments Pair with Siemens protective relays to match any typical application Over 55,000 panels installed worldwide with more than 2,200 installed in the U.S.
