MCset - metalclad switchgear

 


MCset is an indoor, metal-clad switchgear unit intended for the MV section of HV/MV substations and high power MV/MV substations. Its withdrawable switchgear design is an indoor, metal-clad switchgear assembly that provides maximum user safety. It is intended to meet all electrical distribution needs from 1 to 24kV and incorporates a set of innovative solutions designed using proven techniques:

MCset metalclad switchgear
  • High performance breaking devices (Vacuum and SF6)
  • Digital protection and control system
  • A range of cubicles designed and tested for internal arc resistance


Reliability

  • Type testing was carried out for each performance level in the MCset range.
  • The design, manufacturing and testing of MCset was carried out according to ISO 9001 quality standards.
  • Three-dimensional computer modeling techniques were used to study the electrical fields.

Simplicity

  • A user interface which is easily understood by everybody.
  • Interlocks and padlocks preventing operator errors.
  • Sepam protection units enabling on-site information retrieval without any additional devices.
  • Maintenance limited to simple, routine operating checks and cleaning and greasing every 5 to 10 years.
  • Easy installation due to identical civil engineering dimensions for all cubicles and installation being possible against a wall.

Safety

  • Operations are all performed from the front, including access to connections and busbars.
  • Racking in and out is only possible with the door closed.
  • The voltage presence indicator is situated on the front of the functional unit.
  • The earthing switch has making capacity.
  • One single anti-reflex handle is used for all MCset operations.
  • Internal arc withstand developed for all functional units.
