AC ring main unit Xiria

medium-voltagevacuumpower distribution

Xiria is Eaton’s product family of SF6-free medium voltage switchgear for ring main unit and secondary switchgear applications. The highly compact switchgear panels are used to control and protect electrical equipment operated by utilities, commercial building owners and operators of distributed renewable generation assets such as solar farms and wind turbines. Xiria requires minimal monitoring and maintenance, resulting in low operating costs. Xiria offers a high level of operational safety and is suitable for applications up to 24 kV. The Xiria product family was developed on the basis of Eaton's proven vacuum circuit breakers, which require no maintenance and are certified for 30,000 operations. All live parts are single-pole insulated. The materials used provide optimal insulation combined with excellent thermal properties. In addition, the insulation is designed to provide effective control of electric fields in the vicinity of the components to minimise the risk of internal arcing. Xiria houses both the primary components and the switchgear drive in a completely encapsulated enclosure, thereby fully protecting the entire system against environmental effects.
