ECLIPSE (630A) & (1250A)
12kV Fixed Pattern Indoor Metal Enclosed Vacuum Switchgear

The Eclipse is designed to provide a lifetime unrivalled service, bringing together one of the most advanced operating mechanisms available on the market today – the award winning magnetic actuator technology – with vacuum interruption and the simplicity of air insulation in a compact, fixed pattern design. Appreciated throughout the distribution network and across every business sector, the Eclipse currently holds a dominant market position for 11kV indoor switchgear. The Eclipse is also now available as a pre-engineered solution in ratings up to 25kA, 2000A. Alternatively, it can be fully engineered to meet exact customers needs.

 

Rating/Specifications

KEY FEATURES

• Superior, proven Fit & Forget technology with minimal maintenance.
• The fixed pattern design has the simplicity of air insulation and, with the low parts count (the total parts count has been reduced by a factor of x20 and the number of moving parts by a factor of x50), is more compact (500mm wide) than equivalent rated GIS equipment.
• The Eclipse boasts of superior operator safety with a fully interlocked disconnector selector mechanism, animated front panel mimic and a front access cable test facility, eliminating the need for any intrusive access to high-voltage compartments
  
• Endurance tested to 10,000 operations
• Environmentally friendly vacuum interrupters
• Internal arc containment
• Voltage Presence Indication System (VPIS) is fitted as standard to all panels (circuit)
• Reliable control – supplied with an integral control module, providing indication, trip circuit supervision and self-diagnostics
• Customer’s choice of protection
