MV NetworksSecure network performance with reliable Premset MV switchgear

No matter how severe the environment, a medium voltage network needs switchgear that can ensure trouble-free service and peace of mind for its operator. The solution must be flexible, simple, and modular — all aspects that are essential to easy installation and safe, reliable day-to-day use.

But to achieve the higher dependability required today, MV switchgear also needs to have smart-grid functionality, with distributed intelligence that allows for a new level of efficiency through advanced monitoring and control.

Efficient, smart grid-ready solutionsBy combining proven technologies with a modular architecture, PremsetTM MV switchgear represents a new, innovative way to design, install, and operate your MV secondary distribution installations.

The Intelligent Electronic Devices and integrated metering functions used in Premset architecture give you better control of your overall network. Its flexible system also includes integrated Web technology, making upgrades easy and accessing information on the electrical installation as simple as opening a Web page.

This built-in functionality additionally enables real-time remote monitoring of your network assets.

Premset architecture: Innovation for MV distribution

Reliability and long-lasting performance, thanks to the Shielded Solid Insulation System Premset switchgear lowers your total cost of ownership (TCO) in part because it’s engineered for optimized maintenance. And, because the risk of internal fault is reduced, enhanced safety and an extended switchgear life is made possible.

Flexibility to adapt to your changing needsOur innovative architecture features functional blocks, which enhance the ease of installation and upgrading. This high degree of modularity also improves cost savings, optimizes delivery times, and facilitates easy modification.

Safe, simple design ensures user-friendly operation The Premset switchgear’s user-friendly design reduces worker risk and optimizes operating safety, helping to make it the safest MV switchgear in its class thanks to intuitive 3-in-1, gas-free architecture.

Circuit breaker solutions for every network A consistent range of four circuit breakers (CBs) complements the Premset system, from the simplest transformer CBs to the heavy-duty, fast-reclosing units dedicated to line protection. This range has been designed with the intention of providing an optimized answer to every potential level of required network protection, while sharing same compact dimensions.
