China DR-GTXGN-12 Solid Insulation Ring Main Unit - Eco-Friendly Switchgear Suppliers & Factory

The DR-GTXGN-12 solid-insulated ring main unit switchgear represents a cutting-edge, environmentally-friendly solution for power distribution systems, designed and manufactured in China. As a fully sealed power supply unit, each live component and switch is encased in a durable epoxy plastic shell, eliminating the need for SF6 gas. This innovative switchgear is immune to external environmental factors, ensuring both reliable operation and enhanced safety for personnel, all while requiring no maintenance.

This advanced solid-insulated switchgear utilizes solid insulation material as its primary insulating medium. Key components of the main electrical circuit—including conductive connectors, isolation switches, grounding switches, main buses, and branch buses—are completely encapsulated in a sealed module. The design allows for flexibility, enabling these components to be combined or expanded as needed, making it a versatile solution for various applications.

The DR-GTXGN-12 ring main unit is specifically engineered for 12kV, 50Hz three-phase AC power distribution systems, suitable for both ring main unit and terminal power distribution. Ideal for various environments, including industrial and mining enterprises, residential buildings, schools, parks, and compact substations, it effectively controls and protects power distribution transformers. This versatility allows for the implementation of indoor and outdoor ring main units, catering to the needs of power distribution automation. Trustworthy suppliers in the industry rely on our factory for quality products that meet the highest standards.

    Work Environmental Conditions

    • It is ideal for indoor or outdoor use.
    • Ambient air temperature: Indoor -10°C to +25°C, outdoor -60°C to +60°C.
    • Relative air humidity: Daily average is no more than 95%, monthly average is no more than 90%.
    • Altitude is no more than 3000m.
    • Ambient air is free from any pollution of dust, water vapor, salt fog, corrosive gases, or flammable gases; the outdoor type can be used in severe environmental conditions.
    • No severe vibration in the area to install, and the earthquake intensity is no more than 8 ML.

    * When the work environmental conditions cannot meet the requirements above, the user shall consult with the manufacturer.

    Safety and Protection

    Insulation Knife Visual Cutout

    With an obvious visible cutout window in front of the cabinet, it is convenient and safe for the personnel on site to check the three positions such as the insulation closing position, insulation breaking position and grounding closing position and confirm the insulation knife position.

    Pressure Relief Design

    Internal arcing pressure valve; when any arcing occurs in the product, the pressure will be relieved from the pressure relief valve and the arcing will be discharged to the cable trench to prevent any injury to the operator.

    Environment-Friendly & Green

    With environment-friendly materials in design, SF6 gas isn't used as the arc extinguishing medium and insulation, without pollution to the environment. The primary circuit has minimum-contact design to ensure low energy consumption in operation.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    What are the operational temperature limits for this switchgear?
    The equipment is designed for both indoor and outdoor environments. The ambient air temperature limits are -10°C to +25°C for indoor use, and -60°C to +60°C for outdoor installations.
    How does the visual cutout design improve operator safety?
    It features a visible cutout window on the front panel, allowing operators to easily inspect and confirm the insulation knife's position across three states: insulation closing, insulation breaking, and grounding closing.
    What happens during an internal arcing fault?
    The switchgear is equipped with an internal arcing pressure valve. In the event of an arc, the pressure is safely relieved through this valve and directed into the cable trench, protecting operators from injury.
    Is SF6 gas used in this switchgear?
    No, this switchgear is environmentally friendly and does not use SF6 gas for insulation or arc extinguishing. It also utilizes a minimum-contact design for low energy consumption during operation.
    What is the mechanical life expectancy of the components?
    The circuit breaker has a mechanical life of 10,000 operations, while the insulation knife and grounding knife are rated for 3,000 operations.
    What protection rating does the switchgear housing offer?
    Both the internal components and the outer shell of the switchgear meet the IP4X protection grade standards.
