VacClad-W 5 kV narrow-design, metal-clad, medium-voltage switchgear

Medium-voltage switchgear

VacClad-W switchgear is a metal-clad, medium-voltage switchgear that can be custom-engineered to fit a wide array of application and safety requirements. The narrow design offers the benefits of the compartmentalised construction in a compact footprint. The small size still offers a wide range of combinations to meet specific requirements. It is a trusted choice for applications such as control and distribution, main-main automatic transfer, main-tie-main automatic transfer, main service disconnect and switching.
