Schneider Electric Unveils Compact Arc-Resistant Switchgear
Schneider Electric introduces a first-of-its-kind HVL/cb Metal-Enclosed Vacuum Circuit Breaker Switchgear.
Schneider Electric has announced the launch of its HVL/cb Metal-Enclosed Vacuum Circuit Breaker Switchgear. The HVL/cb switchgear features the unique combination of the industry’s smallest footprint vacuum circuit breaker with an integrated load disconnect switch. The low-cost solution offers a space-efficient alternative to traditional metal-clad switchgear, maximizing desirable facility floor space, while reducing operational and maintenance costs.
Schneider Electric is dedicated to creating a safer work environment by engineering electrical distribution equipment which operates safely and effectively. The HVL/cb switchgear is engineered to incorporate an arc-resistant plenum that vents out the right or left of the switch gear. This industry leading technology provides a robust design without adding additional height space to the switchgear. Much like the popular Metalclad switchgear, the compartmentalized design boosts personnel and equipment safety by reducing unauthorized access to energized parts of the equipment.
