Factory String Testing
The Houston facility conducts integrated string testing for switchgear and medium voltage drives in a single location. This process allows potential issues to be identified and addressed during testing, helping ensure compatibility and reducing the need for troubleshooting during field installation. This approach supports efficient deployment and system integration.
Drawout Vacuum Circuit Breakers
Designed for convenient maintenance, these breakers can be removed or inserted without disconnecting wiring. Vacuum technology helps reduce wear on contacts by extinguishing arcs in a vacuum, contributing to extended usability.
Grounded Metal Barriers
Metal barriers provide physical separation between sections of electrical equipment, containing faults or short circuits within specific areas and reducing the likelihood of accidental contact with live parts.
Automatic Shutters
These shutters cover the live parts of a circuit breaker compartment when the breaker is removed, reducing the risk of accidental contact during maintenance.
Insulated Copper Bus Bars
Copper bus bars are insulated to lower the likelihood of accidental contact and short circuits, contributing to enhanced safety and operational reliability.
Mechanical Interlocks
Safety mechanisms that restrict certain actions unless specific conditions are met, such as preventing a circuit breaker from closing while the grounding switch is engaged. This feature helps promote safe operational sequences.
Grounded Breaker Truck Between Test & Connected Positions
This feature allows the breaker truck to be grounded in the test position and facilitates grounding when in the connected position, offering additional safety measures during testing and operation.
Drawout Voltage Transformers
These transformers are designed for easy removal or insertion, simplifying maintenance and replacement tasks and potentially reducing downtime.
Separate Low-Voltage Control Compartment
This compartment isolates low-voltage control circuits from high-voltage circuits, reducing exposure to high voltage components and facilitating maintenance of control circuits.
Switchboard-Grade Control Switches and Indication Lights
Control switches and indication lights provide operational control and visual status updates, enabling quick access to system information.
Switchboard-Type Meters
Provide measurements of electrical parameters such as voltage, current, and power, supporting system performance monitoring and fault detection.
Tin-Plated Copper Bus Connections
Help mitigate oxidation and corrosion, supporting electrical connections over time.
Range of Protective Relays
Detect abnormal conditions, such as overcurrent or short circuits, and initiate corrective actions, where applicable
