The metal enclosed switchgear produced by TAILI, a reliable China manufacturer, refers to a complete set of power distribution equipment that encloses all the main electrical components (such as circuit breakers, disconnectors, transformers, busbars, etc.) in the medium-voltage power distribution circuit within a grounded metal enclosure (such as steel plates).
1. High Safety:
· Prevent accidental contact: All high-voltage live components are enclosed within a grounded metal casing, effectively preventing direct contact by personnel.
· Prevent foreign objects from entering: Prevent small animals, dust, water droplets, etc. from entering and causing short circuits.
2. High Reliability:
· The internal environment is protected and is less affected by external factors (humidity, dirt).
· Each functional unit is isolated from each other, and a failure in one compartment is not likely to affect adjacent compartments.
3. Compact structure, saves space: It occupies much less floor space than the earlier open-type distribution equipment, making it suitable for indoor installation.
4. Easy expansion and maintenance: Adopting a modular design, the number of outgoing circuits can be flexibly increased or decreased. During maintenance, a single compartment can be isolated for power outage.
5. Attractive appearance, easy installation: As a complete set of equipment, the on-site wiring work is small when it is delivered.
| Fixed metal enclosed switchgear | Movable enclosed switchgear | |
| Core feature | Fixed installation of components | The core components are installed on a movable trolley. |
| Power outage and maintenance | The entire power supply must be cut off and the cabinets need to be inspected. This will take a long time. | It can quickly isolate the faulty unit, replace the switchgear, and the power outage time is short. |
| Isolation method | With the use of an isolating switch, there is no visible break (or the break is not obvious). | The handcart removal creates a visible isolation break. |
| Safety | It has high safety performance, but during maintenance, personnel need to get close to the fixed and energized components. | The safety is extremely high. The maintenance personnel have no contact with the high-voltage components and the interlock system is perfect. |
| Flexibility | Low flexibility and difficulty in replacing equipment. | High flexibility, easy to replace, expand, and standardized. |
| Applicable scenarios | For terminal power distribution with low requirements for power supply continuity, small substations, as the incoming/outgoing line units of ring main units, for projects with limited budgets, and stable loads | For power supply continuity-demanding industrial and mining enterprises, main distribution panels, data centers, large commercial complexes, substations, and frequently operated sites. |
