Key Product Features

Compact GIS Architecture
Gas insulation of the main circuit and solidly insulated busbar connections support a compact indoor footprint with front-only access.
Sealed-for-Life MV System
Live parts are enclosed in sealed-for-life or solid insulation, helping protect the medium-voltage circuit from environmental influences, dust, and vermin.
Safety by Design
The metal-enclosed architecture, earthed construction, three-position disconnector, interlocks, visible position indications, and internal-arc design support safer operation.
Maintenance-Efficient MV Parts
The catalogue describes the medium-voltage parts as maintenance-free and the equipment as arriving ready to connect, with no normal-life gas handling during installation, commissioning, operation, extension, or replacement.
Connected Switchgear Options
CBGS-0 Connected can provide remote alarms, real-time data, thermal monitoring, humidity and condensation monitoring, operation history, protection, metering, and integration into an existing SCADA system.
Flexible Functional Units
Available functions include incomer and feeder, coupler, riser, disconnector, load-break switch, and load-break switch with fuses.
Broad Application Reach
The platform is presented for utilities, solar and wind power, industry, rail, data centers, airports, hospitals, residential buildings, and transformer or distribution substations.
