XGTD8-12 Indoor N₂ Gas Insulation Switchgear - Eco-Friendly, Reliable, from China Suppliers and Factory
Detail introduction
The switchgear and its primary live parts are enclosed within a stainless steel shell, effectively shielding them from external influences. It employs a modular design, allowing for flexible combinations of common-tank and extended-unit configurations to meet various schemes and arrangements. This design ensures that the switchgear can satisfy the demands of compact installations in secondary transmission and distribution substations.
Moreover, the switchgear is widely applicable in a range of environments, including secondary small distribution substations, industrial and mining enterprises, airports, railways, commercial districts, high-rise buildings, highways, subways, tunnels, and other locations with severe conditions.
The product's quality assurance is grounded in a robust quality system that governs research, development, design, and production. Continuous improvement is a key focus, ensuring that the switchgear fully complies with the latest versions or revisions of relevant standards—though not limited to them.

Product Features and Structure
Product features
● Green and environment-friendly: Rather than SF6, all the nitrogen or dry air insulation, vacuum extinction, no greenhouse gas emissions. Harmful chemical elements in raw materials are strictly controlled in the parts manufacturing process, which can reduce the production of harmful substances. And the recycle rate of materials can reach 90% after the retirement.
● Safe and reliable: It adopts micro-positive pressure gas insulation to reduce the leak rate of gas. Although, leaking happen to the gas compartment, it can still keep enough insulation ability at the lowest functional pressure, and does not affect the normal operating.
● Reasonable design
● Modular design: The switchgear includes load switch unit, the circuit breaker unit(V), meter switchgear unit(M), bus PT units,etc.it can achieve many forms of combination through general full insulation and full shielding bus connection, which can meet the demand for different places, different forms, different needs of customers, and provide a variety of designs for power supply and distribution.
● Fully insulated and sealed design: The primary live part(main bus)of the switchgear and switch itself are sealed in the gas tank of welded stainless steel plate. The main circuit is connected to external through DIN47636 standard bushing that installed on the gas tank. It can also be connected to input and output cable by full insulation, shielding all full sealed separable connector. And protection grade of the gas tank box reach IP67. The inside of the gas tank is not affected by the external environment. It also has the short-term resistance function of flood and condensation.
● The other: User interface and cable connection are located in the front of the body,which is convenient for user operation. Operation switchgear instructions are clear, simple and easy to understand. The status of the three-station switch can be observed through the switchgear observation window.
● Small volume: Adopting the insulation of environment-friendly gas, retained the size advantage of gas insulation switchgear, size is small, which can saving the floor area.
● Less maintenance: High voltage insulation is not influenced by the external environment,and hardly aging. There is no need for users to protect or detect weather the SF6 gas leaks. Also, it can reduce the total life cycle cost of the product.
● Strong adaptability to environment: All the HV components are sealed in the gas-filled metal enclosure, and the switchgear is especially suitable for high altitude, cold, damp, salt mist, pollution and other harsh environment.
Product structure

Operation
● Operation procedures
● Preparation before operation: It shall be operated with specific handle,and confirm that the installation of cable compartment front door and the correct connection of HV cable and secondary circuit.
● Power on operation procedure: Ensure that circuit breaker/load switch in open position (which rotate the opening switch to open the circuit breaker/load switch), open the three position switch from earthing closing position to opening position, then operate it from isolation position to closing position. Operating isolation switch lively is forbidden. After confirming the isolation switch is closed,charging the circuit breaker/load switch mechanism with operating handle. Then rotate the closing knob, closing the circuit breaker/load switch.
Note: There is mechanical interlock between circuit breaker/load switch mechanism and isolation mechanism to prevent mistake operation. If some operating difficulties happen, please check the condition of circuit breaker/load switch, and then do the closing or openng operation rather than operate forcibly.
● Power off operation procedure: Rotate the closing knob,open the circuit breaker/load switch.Then operate the three position switch from isolation closing position to opening position with handle.
● Inspection operation procedure: After confirming the cable compartment is not live,operate the three position switch from earthing opening position to closing position. Then open the front door for inspection.
● Interlock logic
a. Only when earthing switch at closing position,circuit breaker/load switch at opening position, can the cable compartment front door be opened.
b. The earthing switch cannot be operated when the front door is open.
c. The isolation switch and earthing switch cannot be operated when circuit breaker/load switch at closing position.
d. When operate isolation switch and earthing switch, circuit breaker/load switch at closing position can not be operated.
e. Only when circuit breaker/load switch at closing position can the cable compartment front door closed.

A: The switchgear is widely used in environments such as secondary small distribution substations, industrial and mining enterprises, airports, railways, commercial districts, high-rise buildings, highways, subways, tunnels, and other locations with severe conditions.
Q2: How does the switchgear achieve environmental friendliness?
A: Instead of using SF6, the switchgear utilizes nitrogen or dry air for insulation and vacuum extinction, resulting in zero greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, raw materials are strictly controlled, and the recycling rate of materials can reach 90% after retirement.
Q3: What are the standard service conditions for this equipment?
A: Standard conditions include an ambient temperature range of -45℃ to +50℃ (daily average ≤ 35℃), altitude up to 4000m, daily average relative humidity ≤ 95%, monthly average relative humidity ≤ 90%, seismic intensity not exceeding grade 8, and an environment free of corrosive or flammable gases.
Q4: What is the protection grade of the gas tank compartment?
A: The gas tank compartment features a fully sealed design welded with high-quality stainless steel, achieving a protection grade of IP67. This structure effectively protects the inside of the gas tank from external environments, including short-term resistance to floods and condensation.
