36 kV Air-Insulated Switchgear with Draw-Out VCB

For primary distribution schemes requiring a 36 kV class switchgear solution, C-SEC lists an air-insulated panel system with draw-out vacuum circuit breaker. The correct equipment depends on network voltage, insulation coordination, fault level, site conditions and protection design.

Questions about the 36 kV AIS

No. They are distinct equipment arrangements with different functionality, construction and project selection criteria.

The exact relay and control interfaces must be confirmed for the chosen configuration.
