Introduction to PINEELE GTXGN-12 Painel de distribuição revestido de metal
O PINEELE GTXGN-12 Metal-Clad Switchgear is a medium voltage switchgear system designed for indoor three-phase AC 50/60Hz power networks with a rated voltage of up to 12kV. Engineered to meet the growing needs of modern electrical infrastructure, this metal-clad switchgear offers a compact, modular, and safe solution for energy distribution in power stations, industrial zones, commercial buildings, and renewable energy applications.
Conforming to international standards such as IEC 62271-200 e GB3906, the GTXGN-12 Metal-Clad Switchgear utilizes vacuum circuit breakers, gas-tight compartments, and fully metal-enclosed bus systems. This makes it an ideal choice where space-saving, personnel safety, and reliable service continuity are crucial.
Key Features of PINEELE GTXGN-12 Metal-Clad Switchgear
Fully Metal-Enclosed Structure
- Each functional unit (disjuntor, busbar, cable, control) is sealed and independently isolated.
- High-level arc-proof construction and IP4X/IP2X protection for personnel safety.
Flexible and Modular Configuration
- Designed for both single bus e double bus systems with optional bypass schemes.
- Handcart-based withdrawable modules for easy maintenance and inspection.
High Dielectric and Mechanical Strength
- Advanced vacuum breaking technology ensures long service life and reduced arc erosion.
- Tested for short-circuit withstand, dielectric strength, and partial discharge immunity.
Enhanced Safety with Interlocks
- Integrated mechanical and electrical interlocks to prevent access during live operation.
- Prevents circuit breaker racking, grounding switch misuse, and door opening under load.

Working Principle and Operation
O GTXGN-12 Metal-Clad Switchgear receives medium-voltage power from incoming feeders and distributes it through outgoing lines via vacuum circuit breakers. Real-time monitoring, remote control, and interlocks ensure that power is reliably switched without exposing operators to live components.
O main breaker handcart can be moved between service, test, and disconnected positions while the switchgear remains energized, ensuring maximum uptime with minimum risk.
Application Benefits
Deploying the PINEELE GTXGN-12 Metal-Clad Switchgear results in:
- Reduced energy losses from partial discharge and poor power factor
- Improved maintenance cycles with modular and easy-access design
- Flexible network configurations including looped and radial grids
- Support for distributed generation, renewable integration, and microgrids
Perguntas frequentes (FAQ)
1. What’s the difference between metal-clad and metal-enclosed switchgear?
Metal-clad switchgear has each live component enclosed in its own grounded metal compartment, offering higher arc protection and operational safety. In contrast, metal-enclosed types may have shared enclosures without full isolation.
2. Can PINEELE GTXGN-12 be customized for automation and smart grids?
Yes. The switchgear supports integration with SCADA, remote terminal units (RTUs), and intelligent protection relays for smart grid deployment and real-time power monitoring.
3. What industries commonly use Metal-Clad Switchgear?
