27.5 kV AC Switchgears

Main advantages

27.5 kV Switchgears are designed to deliver and distribute 50 Hz alternating current (AC) for the supply of AC railway electrification systems at a nominal voltage of 27.5 kV.  

27.5 kV AC Switchgears were type tested and comply with EN 62271-200 and EN 60694 standards. 

Maintainability  
  • Ergonomic industrial design. 
  • Ease of accessibility to all functional groups. 
  • Remote and local equipment control options. 
Safety
  • Maximum protection against exposure of life components to personnel.
  • Fixed power contacts and bas-burs are protected for safe maintenance. 
  • Enhanced interlocking system and safeguards eliminate human error.
  • Cubicles tested at the independent testing facility.
  • Electrocution hazard avoided by keeping all exposed conductive components of 27.5 kV switchgear at earth potential.
  • Cubicle is resistant to environmental influence.
