Core Structure Zones Introduction

SM6-3
  • 1. Switch Compartment: 3-position epoxy encapsulated load switch sealed in SF6 gas tank (sealed pressure system standard). Observation window built-in, gas pressure gauge optional.
  • 2. Busbar Compartment: All busbars are arranged on the same horizontal plane. The cabinet can be extended laterally to both sides with simple interconnection between units.
  • 3. Cable Compartment: Cables are connected from the front for easy wiring to switch and earthing switch terminals. For transformer protection configuration, an extra earthing switch is installed below fuses inside this compartment.
  • 4. Operating Mechanism Compartment: Houses manual operating mechanism to perform closing, opening and earthing operations with clear position indication; electric operating mechanism is optional.
  • 5. Low Voltage Compartment: Installed with low-voltage fuses, relay protection devices and terminal blocks. An extended low voltage compartment can be added on cabinet top if internal space is insufficient.

Key Product Feature Summary

  • Fully sealed SF6 gas tank insulation, stable insulation performance and safe operation
  • Modular expandable busbar design, flexible for multi-unit ring network configuration
  • Front cable access layout, convenient on-site wiring and maintenance
  • Independent compartment layout, mechanical isolation improves operation safety
  • Customizable accessories: pressure gauge, electric operating device, extended low voltage cabinet

SF6 Circuit Breaker Cabinet Structure

SM6-4

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What are the altitude limitations for these switchgear units?
The standard 12kV model operates at altitudes up to 2000m, while the 24kV model is rated for altitudes up to 1000m. Derating is required for installations at higher elevations.
How can condensation be prevented in environments with high humidity?
While condensation seldom occurs under normal conditions, sharp temperature shifts combined with high humidity may cause it. Proper ventilation and adherence to standard civil engineering regulations are necessary to prevent insulation degradation.
Can this modular switchgear system be expanded laterally?
Yes. The busbars are arranged on the same horizontal plane, allowing simple lateral expansion on both sides to configure flexible multi-unit ring networks.
What are the differences between the SFset and SF1 circuit breakers?
The SFset circuit breaker provides self-powered protection operating with dedicated sensors, whereas the SF1 breaker uses standard sensors with comprehensive relays and requires an auxiliary power source.
What international standards do the technical configurations follow?
The electrical characteristics, including insulation levels, short-circuit breaking capacity, and transfer breaking current, fully comply with IEC medium voltage switchgear standards (such as IEC 60420) and GB16926.
