KYN28 Series Withdrawable Metal Clad Switchgear - High Voltage Solutions from China Suppliers and Factory
KYN28 indoor metal-clad withdrawable switchgear (hereinafter short as switchgear) is a complete power distribution device for 3.6~24kV, 3-phase AC 50Hz, single-bus and single-bus sectionalized system. It is mainly used for power transmission of middle/small generators in power plants; power receiving, transmission for substations in power distribution and power system of factories, mines and enterprises, and starting of large high-voltage motor, etc., so as to control, protect and monitor the system.
General
The switchgear meets IEC298, GB3906-91. In addition to be used with domestic VSI vacuum circuit breaker, it can also be used with VD4 from ABB, 3AH5 from Siemens domestic ZN65A, and VB2 from GE, etc., it is truly a power distribution device with good performance.
In order to meet the requirement for wall mounting and front-end maintenance, the switchgear is equipped with a special current transformer, so that the operator can maintain and inspect it in front of the cubicle.

Transportation, Maintenance and Order
Transportation and Storage
The switch cabinet can be transported by fork truck if fixed on the bottom plate. It should always be transported vertically. Long-term storage should be in a dry, ventilated indoor warehouse. Outer package validity is normally no more than 1 year.
Maintenance
Free of maintenance for 3 years under normal conditions. Maintenance periodicity is normally once per year, including:
- Fasten all electrical connectors (main bus bar, switch, cable, etc.).
- Clean parts with a dust collector and check appearance.
- Perform switching on/off operations for all switches including earth switch.
- Clean the busbar and cable cubicles.
