  • a strip-type fuse switch disconnector
  • a rotary isolating switch
  • a fuse switch
  • or another device, subject to agreement with the manufacturer

 

The RTEa type LV switchgear may be equipped with:

  • current and voltage monitoring
  • a CT energy measurement system
  • outdoor lighting unit
  • a capacitor for transformer no-load compensation
  • a capacitor bank
  • surge protection




 

 

 

Standards compliance

 

 

The switchgear comply with the following standards:
• PN-EN 60439-2003 'Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies Part 1: Type-tested and partially type-tested assemblies'.
• PN-EN 60529-2003 'Degrees of protection provided by enclosures (IP rating)'
• It holds a certificate issued by the Institute of Power Engineering in Warsaw		 

 

Busbar system

 
All busbars and busbar connections are made of copper with a cross-section adapted to the rated currents. The main phase busbars are spaced 185 mm apart, to which terminal blocks are fitted. The PEN protective-neutral busbar for a 4-wire system, complete with V-type terminals (or screws), is located in the lower part of the switchgear. 

 

Operating environment conditions

 

The switchgear are designed for operation in a temperate climate and are suitable for installation
under the following environmental conditions:


• in enclosed spaces free from dust and chemical gases that are reactive or pose an explosion hazard, and free from electrically conductive dust
– ambient temperature:
– short-term peak +40°C (313 K)
– highest daily average +35°C (308 K)
– lowest sustained temperature: -25°C (248 K)

 

 

Switchgear design

 
The openwork frame structure is constructed from thin-walled perforated sections with a semi-closed C-section profile measuring 50x25. The perforation pitch is 25 mm. The sections are joined together using corner connectors. Depending on the configuration and intended use, the load-bearing frame is supplemented with additional horizontal and vertical sections, joined using straight and angle connectors. All structural components are made of electro-galvanised sheet metal.
