Product Detail

Description:

UniGear 500R is very space efficient solution, designed to reduce the width of the medium-voltage airinsulated switchgear. Panel design is only 500 mm wide for feeder current up to 2000 A.Its compact design makes UniGear 500R ideal for container installation for primary distribution.  

One of the main characteristics of the UniGear 500R switchgear is the isolation of the circuit-breaker from the main busbars by means of the three position disconnector. 

Features:

  • Standards: IEC, ENA

  • Design: LSC-2A, PM

  • Accessibility type: A

  • Internal arc class: FLR

  • Highly customized versions available

  • Switchgear can be back to wall installed

 Safety:

  • Fully type tested according to IEC 62271-200

  • Fitted with safety interlocks

  • Vacuum circuit-breaker in a removable arrangement

Switching devices:

  • Vmax vacuum circuit breaker with spring actuator

 Current and voltage measurement:

  • Current and voltage sensors

  • Conventional current and voltage instrument transformers 

Protection and control :

  • Relion® protection and control relays

Optionally available with:

  • Optical arc fault protection

  • Surge arresters

  • Substation management unit COM600S

  • Smart Asset Management solutions

FAQ
Q: What’s the difference in the circuit breaker for air-insulated vs gas-insulated?
A:
Air-insulated switchgear circuit breaker is typically removable or withdrawable. The circuit breaker is based on vacuum circuit technology. In the gas-insulated, it is fixed mounted. The function of withdraw is provided by a separate disconnecting switch. Typically, a three-position switch with connected, disconnected, and ready-to-earth position.
Q: What are the key features of ABB’s medium voltage switchgear products?
A:
ABB‘s primary medium voltage switchgear products are designed to connect and protect the evolving grid. They feature robust construction, advanced safety mechanisms, high reliability, and ease of maintenance. They are designed to handle high electrical loads and provide efficient power distribution with minimal losses.

1 Pre - commissioning InspectionAs a front - line tester, before formally commissioning a dry - type transformer, I need to carry out a comprehensive and systematic inspection. First, I conduct a visual inspection of the transformer body and its accessories, carefully checking for mechanical damage or deformation. Then, I check whether the leads of the high - and low - voltage windings are firmly connected and whether the bolt tightening torque meets the standard requirements (usually 40 - 60N&m

1 Pre - installation PreparationAs a front - line installer, I know very well that the preparation work before installing a dry - type transformer must be thorough. First, I will carefully review the design drawings and technical documents, and check one by one the technical parameters such as the model specification, rated capacity, and voltage level of the transformer to ensure they are in full compliance with the design requirements. Then, I will conduct an unpacking inspection of the transfo

What are the causes of dry-type transformers burning out during operation?
1 Fault PhenomenonI am engaged in front - line fault maintenance work, and recently encountered problems with dry - type transformers. Dry - type transformers have a simple structure, are convenient for transportation, and easy for maintenance. They are widely used in power distribution places with relatively high environmental protection requirements. Because of their good fire - resistance, they can be installed in load - center areas to reduce voltage loss and power loss.The property manageme
