Air-insulated medium-voltage switchgear cleverly switched, local added value

Peace of mind, saves lives,

increases productivity, saves money

Answers for energy.

Experience and quality for maximumsystem safety

The industrialized world of today is characterized by a rising

energy demand and growing environmental consciousness con-

currently with an increasing price pressure. At the same time,

users are of course placing maximum demands regarding reli-ability, personal protection and productivity in connection with

switchgear operation.

There is one thing you just have to rely on: smooth and safe

operation of your system. Around the clock. Here, switchgear

assemblies as points of intersection play a decisive role and

air-insulated switchgear concepts from our worldwide produc-

tion locations offer the best solution with no doubt.

As a pioneer for air-insulated switchgear we bring along 25 years

of know-how in the development of switchgear and switching

devices. Along with this, our manufacturing plants in all regions

of the world ensure local added value and thus, permanent prox-

imity to the customer, so that you can take full advantage of air-

insulated technology: As insulating medium, air is available day

and night, and withdrawable switchgear systems guarantee

accessibility to all switchgear components at any time.

With air-insulated switchgear from Siemens you are always on

the safe side our switchgear is type-tested for indoor installa-

tion according to IEC 62271-200 or ANSI/IEEE C37.20.2. In this

way you profit from our leading position as regards fulfillment of

this new standard IEC 62271-200. Regardless of the fact that air-

insulated switchgear from Siemens has always been a synonym

for maximum personal and opera-tional safety as well as local

added value.

Keep everything going in your power supply system:

Air-insulated switchgear from Siemens for sustainability, safety and efficiency

Increases productivity

Functions such as evidence of the making and breaking capac-

ity for the built-in circuit-breakers and earthing switches and

even confinement of the arc to the respective compartment de-

pending on the switchgear type as well as designs equipped

to meet maximum requirements with respect to the degree of

protection provide uninterrupted operation and an appreciable

increase of productivity.

Saves money

The compact design and the use of vacuum circuit-breakers pay

off twice for the switchgear operator. On the one hand, build-

ing costs can be reduced, and on the other hand, the mainte-

nance-free design of the circuit-breakers enables continuous

operation without expensive downtimes.

Peace of mind

With its sophisticated technology, a globally interconnected

R&D network, a worldwide production and quality network and

the fulfillment of all type and routine tests according to the re-

quirements of the international standards without restrictions,

air-insulated switchgear offers maximum peace of mind.

Saves lives

All air-insulated switchgear designs from Siemens are approved

with internal arc classification IAC A FLR, loss of service continuity

category LSC 2B, LSC 2A or LSC 1 depending on the switchgear

type, as well as partition class PM. Thus they can be universally

installed, fulfilling maximum requirements as regards personal

protection.

Siemens your partner on site

We take care that you can switch cleverly. Combining innova-

tion, experience and local added value. With comprehensiveknow-how, worldwide service and profound understanding

of your requirements in the most different regions due to local

production capacity. Go and see for yourself!


4/14

Local added value systematically:

Worldwide production complete processes

a quality standard

R&D headquarters in Germany

concentrate international know-how

All global development activities are concentrated and controlled

centrally: International development teams introduce the re-

spective country-specific requirements in our R&D activities.

A good basis for maximum development synergies, contributing

to lean development cycles by means of optimal exchange of

experience.

High demands in practical implementation:

The D-CAD procedure

During the development and production phase, the utilization of

3D-CAD software ensures perfect quality and reliability. The in-

dividual technical data of your switchgear is transferred directly

from the purchase order to the production department via the

design department. Using innovative technologies we can offer

a maximum of quality and flexibility in production with short

delivery times.

Local added value country-specific flexibility

Hundreds of Siemens employees manufacture our air-insulated

switchgear type series in different regions worldwide. In this

way we do not only ensure the local know-how for the require-

ments varying from country to country, but also integrate expe-

rience from other locations. Production processes are docu-

mented in a comprehensible way to reach the quality level

you, as our customer, can expect in a fast, safe and reproduc-

ible way.

Strict eyes to assure the quality

Our very modern, accredited testing laboratories ensure the

high quality of our air-insulated switchgear. Besides type and

routine tests for the individual switchgear type series, continu-

ous process-accompanying quality assurance according to

ISO 9001 and 14001 is performed. Being associated with

PEHLA and DAR, our testing laboratories have the status of

independent test institutes.
