Scope of Application:The XGN17-40.5 fixed-type high-voltage switchgear is a fixed-type, indoor, three-phase AC 50Hz metal-enclosed high-voltage switchgear. Designed for 40.5kV power networks (equivalent to the IEC 36kV system level), it is used in power plants, substations, industrial facilities, and large building distribution systems. Its core functions include power reception, distribution, control, protection, and monitoring. Supporting single-bus or single-bus with bypass configurations, it is engineered for high-reliability applications requiring frequent operations.

1.Product Overview
The XGN17-40.5 features a metal-enclosed, fixed-compartment structure compliant with GB3906 and IEC 60298 standards. Utilizing air insulation (minimum clearance ≥300mm), its welded steel frame divides into front compartment (operation zone) and rear compartment (cable/bypass zone). Compatible with vacuum circuit breakers (e.g., ZN12-35) or SF₆ circuit breakers (e.g., FP series), it supports bus sectioning and bypass schemes for flexible power distribution. Key design objectives include full-load operation capability, high mechanical endurance (>10,000 operations), and minimal maintenance.
2.Product Functions
Core Functions:
Power Distribution: Distributes 40.5kV power via main and feeder bus systems.
Circuit Control: Enables manual/electric switching with remote operation option.
System Protection: Integrates overcurrent/short-circuit protection (through circuit breakers and relays) with breaking capacity up to 31.5kA.
Operational Monitoring: Equipped with metering compartment for real-time voltage/current/power measurement (some models feature communication interfaces).
Ancillary Functions:
Five-Prevention Interlocking: Mechanical interlocks prevent misoperations (e.g., switching under load).
Bypass Supply: Enables maintenance without interruption via bypass bus.
Safety Protection: Automatic insulating shutters shield live contacts; voltage indicators display energization status.
3.Product Composition
Enclosure Structure:
Front Compartment: Busbar compartment (top), circuit breaker compartment (center), relay compartment (front). Busbar and breaker zones separated by insulated barriers with bushing connections.
Rear Compartment: Cable compartment, bypass bus zone, and mounting positions for VTs/arresters. Rear door features mechanical locking and live-part blocking.
Key Components:
Circuit Breaker: Vacuum type (e.g., ZN12-35, 2000A) or SF₆ type (e.g., FP series) for primary circuit interruption.
Disconnector: Provides visible isolation gap; mechanically interlocked with breaker.
Instrument Transformers: Current transformers (CTs) for measurement/protection; voltage transformers (VTs) for voltage monitoring.
Operating Mechanism: Spring-operated, motor/manual charging.
Protection Relay: Integrates overcurrent/earth fault protection.
