Know More about Siemens Low-Voltage Switchgears

Posted by Bullock Breakers on December 5th, 2016

Switchgears are electrical devices that are widely employed in transmission and distribution networks. It is also used to refer to electrical disconnection equipment used to protect power systems against short circuits and underload or overload of current. Rising temperature levels of the equipment alert the switchgear that immediately breaks the current flow by creating a gap or actual barrier in the circuit. This averts any potential harm from happening to the transformers, generators, and other equipment in addition to the people working in the vicinity of the electrical system.

Siemens is a world leading supplier of energy-efficient and resource-saving power generation, transmission, and medical diagnosis systems. Their low-voltage switchgear powered by the Siemens WL breaker is in demand for both industrial and household applications. These switchgear are built so that the breakers can be closed or tripped without opening the door of the switchgear housing or exposing any live parts. This makes them safer to operate.

Siemens Type WL low-voltage metal-enclosed switchgear is designed, constructed, and tested to facilitate exceptional power distribution, monitoring, and control. The assembly consists of one or more metal-enclosed vertical sections that are further divided into up to four individually enclosed breaker or auxiliary compartments. Each assembly includes components such as circuit breakers, transformers, relays, three phase bus work, internal wiring, instrumentation, and control equipment, connectors, and other supporting equipment.

To cater to different needs of various industries, Siemens offers different types of low-voltage switchgear such as:

• Standard Low-Voltage Switchgear: It is designed, constructed and tested to provide superior power distribution, power monitoring, and control. It is compact and uses less space as compared to other types of switchgear in the market. It can monitor a variety of breaker, switch, meter, relay, and motor control functions in the distribution system.

• Arc Resistant Low-Voltage Switchgear: It is an arc resistant, metal enclosed low-voltage switchgear that provides an additional degree of protection, in the event of internal arcing faults, for personnel performing duties in the proximity of the equipment.

• Smart Low-Voltage Switchgear: It is a pre-configured and pre-programmed low-voltage switchgear with the ability to integrally support remote monitoring, configuration, and control of embedded intelligent devices through a two way real-time communication between the apparatus and the user. There is a single interface point that provides a means for the two-way communication. The user does not have to read or remember different user manuals to utilize the different intelligent devices.

• Low-Voltage Switchgear Arc Flash Hazard Solutions: This Siemens switchgear is arc resistant and facilitates remote operation and monitoring, mitigating the inherent danger in case of an electrical distribution equipment malfunction. The dynamic breaker parameters change to reduce arc fault levels making this the safest low-voltage switchgear in the market.
