Eaton's Capitole 40 switchgear and controlgear assembly is available up to 6300 A / 690 V. The system's design is verified by testing in accordance with IEC-61439 and IEC TR 61641 (criteria 1 to 7). Capitole 40 includes a full range of withdrawable and fixed functional units comprising feeders, bus couplers, motor starters and distribution feeders. Ideal application areas for Capitole 40 are (petro) chemical industries, oil and gas exploration (on- and offshore), process industries, power stations and packaged substations.

The compartments and cable connections of the withdrawable units can be modified without any interruption to your processes. Eaton's optional microprocessor-based automation system Clink II ensures optimum integration of operational processes with electrical controls via serial communication. To maximise safety, closed-door racking is also available.
The standard panels connect at the front or rear, and the cables enter at the top or bottom. Eaton also offers standardised designs for back-to-back, U- or L-shaped line-ups and panels with reduced height. For further customisation, additional options are available, such as units for power factor improvement and harmonic filtration, soft starters, variable frequency drives, PLC-controlled synchronisation, and changeover equipment.
The distribution busbars are maintenance-free thanks to the scissor-shaped contacts. These contacts prevent welding to the distribution busbar in case of a short circuit. Moreover, withdrawable motor starters and feeders do not cause any wear and tear on the distribution busbar. If needed, the scissor contacts can be changed quickly and easily.
All parts are accessible from the front, with optional cable connections available at the rear – keeping downtime to a minimum.
*) 375 and 500 mm wire ways are available
**) 175-mm extended depth when top entry is needed
