ZX1.2 Details at a glance.

Metalclad and gas-tight
SF6 gas-insulated Busbar compartment as sealed pressure system

Design
Single busbar version Laser welded stainless steel enclosures Modular design Panels coupled by plug-in busbar connectors without SF6 gas work Pressure relief selectable per panel or pressure relief duct High cable termination point of 1250 mm Inner cone cable plug system with size 2 and 3 Bus duct connection solidly insulated

Circuit-breaker compartment as sealed pressure system 12 to 36 kV up to 2000 A* and 31.5 kA

Advantages
Maximum safety Partitioning of functional compartments Completely protected encapsulation against access to hazardous part HV parts totally independent to environmental influences No effect on dielectric strength by site altitude Minimum space required Minimum switchgear dimensions due to SF6 insulation Savings in building areas up to 70% in comparison with conventional switchgear Economy Maximum availability for the operator Maximum system service life as independent of the environment Minimum maintenance requirement means extreme savings in operating costs Longer life time than other switchgear types leads to potential savings in new investments Building area and volume savings reduce the general investment and operating costs

In service wherever electrical energy is generated, distributed and utilized.

Circuit-breaker VD4 X
Horizontal arrangement of circuit-breaker poles Operating mechanism outside the gas compartment Poles and mechanism connected via gas-tight thrust bushing Additional earthing function in combination with 3-position switch

3-position switch
Motor-operated rod-type switch with three functions Connecting, isolating and earthing Disconnected position at center Limit positions: Disconnector ON or earthing switch ON Currentless preparation of any connection: Switching is performed exclusively by the circuit-breaker Limited active switch components in the gas compartment Operating mechanism outside the gas compartment Motor operated insulating spindel drives the moveable contact Emergency manual operation optional with mechanical interlocking Position detection by sensors or auxiliary switches Mechanical position indicators

Advantages Circuit-breaker of higher quality than an earthing switch Higher number of switching cycles onto faults Causes no pollution of the SF6 during switching operation

Delivery
Complete panels Factory tested Individual panels as transport units With SF6 at rated filling pressure Suitable for handling by crane or fork lift truck

Installation
Easy and fast installation Suitable for room heights above 2.5 meters Erection on foundation frame or raised false floor Simple connection of panels via plug-in connection Cable termination compartments with plug-in technology

Commissioning
By trained skilled personnel Direct access to the conductors through a separate test socket is available for current and voltage tests on site Without removing the cable connection Without gas work Test socket can be used for cable tests or maintenance earthing

Inspection and maintenance

No refill required under normal condition due to sealed pressure system Gas compartments are maintenance free under normal conditions Inspection predominantly comprises visual inspection and functional testing

Experiences
ABB Calor Emag Mittelspannung GmbH has over 35 years of experience with gas-insulated switchgear. ZX panels have been positioned successfully and reliable at the world market since 1995.
