Structure features
-
The materials of main structure are C type steel. There are two module holes in two sides of the profiles steel which center distance are 20mm and 100mm, internal installation is flexible and easy.
-
The chambers of switchgear are isolated to functional chamber, busbar chamber and cable chamber. Function of each chamber is relative independent.
-
The structure form of feeder cabinet unit in drawer cabinet can be divided to three forms: drawer cabinet, fixed separation cabinet, drawer & fixed separation combination cabinet.
-
Horizontal main bus are installed in the top of the switchgear, reserve the rear space for cable outgoing, easy for work on site.
-
The design of cable compartment is easy for cable incoming and outgoing.
The dimensions of cabinet is as follow: (Unit: mm)
| Height | 2200 | |||||
| Width | 600 | 800 | 1000 | |||
| Depth | 800 | 1000 | 800 | 1000 | 800 | 1000 |
-
Function unit: The modulus of the drawer storey height is 160mm, divide to five series: half unit, one unit, one and a half units, two units, 3units. The rated current of unit circuit is 400A and below.
-
The change of the drawers is only the height, width and depth are both not changed. Drawers of the same functional units have good interchangeabilty.
-
Each drawer cabinet can be installed at most 11 sets drawers of one unit type or 22 sets drawers of half unit type.
-
The drawer panel has clear marking for opening,closing,testing,withdraw positions.
-
The drawer cabinet is equipped with mechanical interlock device, prevent inserting and unplugging drawers with load. Switch operation handle can be equipped with up to 3 padlock, prevent unauthorized operations.
-
The switch operating handle and drawer pushing and positioning mechanisms are independently set, and mechanical interlock is installed between the these two parts to avoid the phenomenon of switch tripping position jamming caused by the shared operating handle.
