3. Key Features
The GCS switchgear provides enhanced reliability, safety, and flexibility, making it ideal for demanding industrial power distribution systems.
3.1 Optimized Thermal Performance
✔ Efficient heat dissipation through optimized busbar layout, reducing temperature rise on connectors, terminals, and cable heads.
3.2 Independent Compartmentalization
✔ Functional units are physically separated, ensuring that faults in one unit do not affect other components, improving system reliability.
3.3 Superior Short-Circuit Withstand Capacity
✔ The horizontal busbar design enhances dynamic thermal stability, allowing the switchgear to withstand short-circuit impacts up to 176kA.
3.4 Modular and Scalable Design
✔ Each MCC (Motor Control Center) cabinet can accommodate up to 22 independent circuits, supporting large-scale industrial operations.
3.5 Flexible Cable Entry Options
✔ Supports top, bottom, front, or rear cable entry, making installation and maintenance more convenient.
3.6 Advanced Fault Protection System
✔ Equipped with current-limiting reactors that stabilize bus voltage and mitigate short-circuit current surges, improving overall system protection.
3.7 High-Density Withdrawable Units
✔ Designed with 32 pairs (or 20 pairs) of secondary plugs, ensuring seamless integration with automation and control systems.
4. Auxiliary Circuit Design
The auxiliary circuit is designed following the Technical Provisions for Electricity Used in Thermal Power Plants, ensuring compatibility with power substations, industrial plants, and data centers.
