Schneider Electric goes for modern switchgear

Schneider Electric, an energy management company, introduced Premset switchgear panel with a new modular design to Sri Lanka recently at Waters Edge, Battaramulla.

Over 130 senior engineers and electrical consultants of CEB and LECO were invited to the event and had an opportunity to experience a live demonstration of the panel.

"Premset switchgear uses the Shielded Solid Insulation System (2SIS), a breakthrough innovation that protects all the live parts, to help ensure a safe, trouble-free service life for operator and equipment," a company spokesman said.

"Breaking, disconnection, and earthing functions are all integrated into a single compact three-position device. SF6-free design uses only vacuum and air technologies," he said.
