Fully type-tested
The switchgear has undergone all the tests required by the international (IEC) Standards. Each switchgear unit is subjected to routine tests in the factory before delivery. These tests are intended to provide a functional check of the switchgear based on the specific characteristics of each installation.
IEC type tests
• Short-time and peak withstand current
• Temperature rise
• Internal arc capability
• Dielectric test
• Making and breaking capacity of circuit-breaker
• Earthing switch making capacity (top application)
• Mechanical operations of circuit-breaker and line
disconnector
• IP degree and impact test
IEC routine factory tests
• Visual inspection and check
• Mechanical sequence operations
• Cabling check
• Electrical sequence operations
• Power frequency withstand voltage
• Measurement of the resistance of the main circuits
• Secondary insulation test
The enclosure is made of aluminium-zinc plated steel sheet by CNC machine, high precise dimension, short production cycle, excellent mechanical strength and nice appearance. The busbar compartment, VCB handc art compartment, cable compartment and relay compartment are separated by metal sheet. Flexible operation for handcart movement, clear position instruction, the earthing switch allow to making short circuit current and creditable mechanical interlock.
