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. Detection Technology for Electric Vehicle Charging PilesEV charging piles are primarily divided into two categories:DC charging pilesandAC charging piles. Let's start with DC charging piles: they communicate with the EV's battery management system (BMS) and directly charge the power battery through the DC charging interface. AC charging piles, on the other hand, rely on the EV's AC charging interface and use the vehicle-mounted charger to complete the charging process. These two types of char
