SecoGear iPV Dual Metal‑Clad Switchgear
Overview
- Compact, double-decker (two-high breaker stacking) indoor metal‑clad switchgear with air insulation and integrated vacuum breakers.
- Designed for medium voltage applications (typically 12 kV, extendable to 24 kV) with current ratings up to 2000 A (or higher with forced air cooling).
- Fully compliant with IEEE C37 and ANSI C37 standards, and built to IEC specifications for global markets.
Key Features
-
Dual‑Compartment Structure – Breaker cells are vertically separated to enhance arc‑fault containment and service safety
-
Reliable SecoVac Vacuum Circuit Breaker – Embedded-pole technology for fast interruption, minimal maintenance, and excellent electrical-mechanical performance
-
Comprehensive Interlocking System – Prevents unsafe operations (e.g. shutters cannot open during connect, earthing switch interlocked, etc.)
-
Arc‑Proof Compartments with Pressure‑Relief Flaps – Designed to vent safely in case of internal arcs, minimizing damage and protecting personnel
-
Robust Draw‑Out Mechanism – High‑precision racking, avoiding misalignment and overheating; bolted to enclosure frame for stiffness
-
Environmental Hardened Design – Space heaters, epoxy-insulated busbars, and tested for high humidity, pollution, salt spray, seismic loads (UBC Zone 4), altitude up to 2000 m

FAQs
Q: Can the breaker be remotely racked or operated?
A: Yes—optional motorized racking and earthing switch upgrades are available for remote operation from a control center
Q: What happens during an internal arc‑fault?
A: SecoGear features pressure-relief flaps in each primary compartment and arc‑proof segregation to localize fault and vent safely
Q: Do you provide space heaters?
A: Standard heaters are included to prevent condensation—hoteleg remains operational via thermostat/humidistat after commissioning
