12 SAFEGEAR® 5/15 KV, UP TO 50 KA ARC-RESISTANT SWITCHGEAR
ABB mounts all protection and control devices in a
dedicated low voltage compartment. Each low volt-
age instrument compartment is completely iso-
lated and segregated from high-voltage compo-
nents which ensures the safety of the operations
and maintenance personnel while they work on con-
trol and auxiliary circuits.
Plastic enclosed wireways are used to provide pro-
tection for the wiring, as well as a neat and orga-
nized appearance. This allows for easy addition of
wiring, should it be needed.
Devices and control switches are mounted on the
door for easy readability and convenient access.
Those devices that do not require direct access are
mounted inside the compartment.
Frame-to-frame interconnect wiring is achieved
through openings located in the rear of the LV com-
partment. Each opening is 3“ x 4“ and provided
with edge guard to ensure wires do not run over
sharp edges.
