“Once in a while an innovative technology will catch my eye as an industry GAME CHANGER! <\/em>Like when I<\/em> first learned about Premset medium voltage switchgear.”<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Over the past 7 decades medium voltage switchgear<\/a><\/u> has undergone several evolutions to improve safety, reliability and sustainability of power distribution. Premset<\/a> represents a leap forward in MV switchgear<\/a> design eliminating many failure modes, operator hazards and susceptibility to environmental hazards. Premset<\/a> achieves this using a Shielded Solid Insulated System (2SIS)<\/a><\/u> that encapsulates the current carrying phases and core unit of the switchgear.<\/p>\n

What You Need to Know<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Premset<\/strong> can reduce the MV footprint<\/strong> by up to 60%.<\/li>\n
  2. Premset<\/strong> reduces the likelihood of arc flash<\/a><\/u> by eliminating >50% of failure modes<\/strong> identified by IEEE 493.<\/li>\n
  3. Premset<\/strong> shields electric fields preventing premature dielectric aging<\/b>.<\/li>\n
  4. Premset<\/strong> has intuitive interlocked operation with insulated busbars and core unit for operator safety<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  5. Premset<\/strong> has extremely low maintenance<\/strong> compared with air insulated<\/a><\/u> or gas insulated<\/a><\/u> switchgear.<\/li>\n
  6. Premset<\/strong> has no pressurized gas<\/strong> such as SF6<\/a><\/u> with greenhouse gas concerns.<\/li>\n
  7. Premset<\/strong> can be a lower total cost of ownership<\/strong> compared with traditional solutions.<\/li>\n
  8. Premset<\/strong> comes with additional features for even more benefits<\/a><\/u>!<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
