16.5kV–27 kV Medium Voltage Metal-Clad Switchgear

Description

The quality of Square D Masterclad™ Medium Voltage Metal-Clad Switchgear stems from a design and manufacturing process that focuses on long-term switchgear performance with the highest degree of reliability. Reliable performance and safety are enhanced by the rugged construction of Masterclad switchgear. The switchgear consists of individually grounded, compartmentalized steel structures to protect operating personnel and equipment.

Masterclad switchgear components include available state-of-the-art electronics like ION power quality monitoring and EASERGY protective relays, EcoStruxure™, integrated racking, and automatic throwover systems.

Standardization of the design incorporates a series of basic modular units, control packages, and instrumentation. For most switchgear ratings, circuit configurations, and functions, one basic size unit is used. These features provide application flexibility, versatility, and efficiency, reducing lead time and engineering time spent on planning and laying out the switchgear.
