Electric UtilitiesImprove peace of mind with smart grid-ready Premset MV switchgear

Amid rising energy demand, tightening regulations, and increased pressure to perform, the utilities’ mission remains the same: To provide reliable, quality electricity to its end users in the most efficient, cost-effective way possible.

This task is made more challenging not only by the severe environments in which some networks operate, but also by heightened customer expectations. Now, the smart grid is not just the future: It’s quickly becoming the current standard.

Reliable, efficient switchgear for utilitiesPremsetTM is the ideal medium voltage switchgear for utilities looking to improve availability and safety, while still remaining flexible and modular. It features smart-grid functionality and a distributed architecture for easy installation, operation, and scalability, and helps increase efficiency through the use of digital technology.

Additionally, the intelligent electronic devices used in the Premset system have been designed to optimize substation performance and compactness, so a robust, distributed architecture can be built in any environment. These are based on a standard communications protocol, with a plug-and-play scanning system for easy configuration.

Configurable integrated monitoring and controlPremset switchgear helps improve network availability

Premset smart grid-ready switchgear is simple to use, installs easily, and has a flexible, modular architecture. This design makes even last-minute modifications possible, so the unit can adapt to your changing needs while offering improved transformer protection.

Cost as well as performance are also optimized since our scalable, modular solutions — from local control up to complex feeder automation — let you choose only what you need.

Enhancing network performance with integrated technologyWith advanced monitoring, control, and smart-grid functionality, Premset switchgear helps ensure your network is at its peak performance level, featuring:

• Feeder automation, with switchgear including built-in communication and local intelligence

• Load management, with integrated smart metering• Asset management, with advanced switchgear and transformer monitoring• VIP self-powered protection and communication for higher MV network availability

Premset architecture also uses a superior circuit breaker, providing improved MV/LV transformer protection. And, with integrated web technologies, access to information on the electrical installation is as easy as opening a web page.

Reducing costs with a complete MV switchgear solutionExtended life, reduced footprint, optimized maintenance — all this adds up to a switchgear with a lower total cost of ownership (TCO).

Because of its innovative and 3-in-1 integrated design, Premset architecture has a light end-of-life treatment, and its easy, intuitive operation helps ensure the safety of both people and assets.
