The Latest Switchgears

Be it energy supply corporations, industry or power stations, any owner or user of primary distribution systems for medium voltage, places high demands on the switchgear. These include reliable technology, ease of operation and economy. With our complete range of circuit breaker and switchgear systems for medium voltage, Siemens Switchgears sets the standards when it comes to reliable and efficient solutions for switching requirements.

Siemens is a market leader in the study and implementation of Vacuum Technology, which is now the most preferred interrupting medium for Medium Voltage Circuit Breakers. In the Air Insulated Indoor Switchgear, Siemens offers Switchgear-Panels with Vacuum Circuit Breakers from 3.3kV to 36kV Voltage range.

As a pioneer in air-insulated and gas-insulated switchgear, Siemens has 25 years of know-how in the development of switchgear and switching devices. Customers can take full advantage of this technology. Since the power demand for processes in the oil & gas industry is increasing, Siemens Energy is covering this high rated-current and short-circuits demand with air-insulated (up to 38 kV) and gas-insulated medium-voltage (MV) switchgear (up to 40.5 kV).

The MV gas-insulated switchgear at a glance:

• Compact and modular design.
• Reduced footprint .
• Maintenance-free .
• Independent of pollution and humidity .
• Motor load for the oil & gas processes: In excess of 80% of the project power .

The MV air-insulated switchgear at a glance:

• Withdraw able design
• Fused contactor feeder panels (only half the width of a circuit-breaker panel)

• Both the air-insulated and the gas-insulated switchgear have an extremely good safety record with high reliability and availability.

The Siemens low-voltage (LV) switchboard has a modular design with high combination flexibility. Adaptations for new performance demands during operation can be carried out easily by exchanging the withdrawable units or changing the compartments. The LV switchboard is available in a fixed-mounted, plug-in and fully withdrawable design and as a Motor Control Centre (MCC).

Global capabilities for switchgear and switchboard :

Siemens has global engineering and manufacturing capabilities for our medium-voltage and low-voltage switchgear and switchboard and holds important approvals and certifications for onshore and offshore applications in oil and gas.
