3. Key Design Features

Armored Compartmentalization: Four fully segregated metal compartments (Busbar, Breaker, Cable, Instrumentation) for enhanced safety (IEC 298 / GB 3906-91 compliant).
Centralized Draw-Out: Breaker (e.g., VD4, VS1, 3AH3) mounted on a withdrawable truck. Enables "hot" busbar maintenance without full system shutdown.
Modular & Flexible: Standard widths (800mm/1000mm) allow easy combination of functional units (incomer, feeder, metering, PT).
Special CT Design: Facilitates front-end wall-mounting and maintenance access.
High-Performance Components: Superior insulating materials & conductive elements ensure stability under fault conditions.
Compatibility: Supports major vacuum breakers (VS1, ABB VD4, Siemens 3AH3, GE VB2, ROCKWILL VSM).

4. Physical Layout & Dimensions

(Select based on Rated Current & Configuration)

Cabinet Width (A)	Depth (B) (mm)	Height (mm)	Typical Weight (kg)	Recommended Use Case
650 mm	1400 mm	2200 mm	700	<1250A, Compound Insulation, Front Cable Access
800 mm	1500 mm	2200 mm	800	<1250A, Air Insulation, Front Cable Access
800 mm	1600 mm	2200 mm	900	<1250A, Rear Overhead Line
1000 mm	1500 mm	2200 mm	1100	>1250A, Front Cable Access
1000 mm	1600 mm	2200 mm	1200	>1250A, Rear Overhead Line
900 mm	1700 mm	2200 mm	1000	Specific config (e.g., with Siemens 3AH5)

Note: Height may reduce to 1660mm for 1000mm wide cabinets with rear overhead lines >1600A.

5. Component Selection

Instrumentation: Special CTs for front access, VTs, surge arresters, relay protection devices (overload, short-circuit, earth fault).
Busbars: Main & branch busbars rated equal to circuit current.
Earthing: Integral earthing switch.

6. Implementation & Service

Specification: Define voltage, current, SC rating, breaker type, and layout (front/rear cable access).
Customization: ROCKWILL provides tailored solutions (design, assembly, testing).
Installation: Requires stable environment (<1000m, -15°C to +40°C, <95% humidity). No corrosive gases/vibration.
Commissioning: Functional & safety checks per IEC/GB standards.
Maintenance: Utilize draw-out feature for partial de-energization. Minimal maintenance due to robust design.
