Schneider Electric South Africa has produced a complete MV mobile substation to demonstrate its total MV distribution solution for municipal and commercial applications. The mobile unit allows walk through and operational demonstrations to take place at the premises of customers and was demonstrated at the recent annual conference of the Association of Municipal Electricity Undertakings (AMEU) held in Stellenbosch.
“The gear includes networking equipment that connects with a scada power suite through a T200 hardware interface controller from a laptop computer. It is a complete MV solution from the incoming breaker through to the distribution ring main unit for underground cabling and MV auto-reclosers and sectionalisers for overhead wire transmission,” says Dudley Miller, energy business vice-president, Schneider Electric South Africa.
The display includes Schneider Electric’s Geni Evo, a compact, fixed pattern demountable configuration switchgear solution, suitable for both utility and large industrial MV power supply requirements, as well as the Nu-Lec N-Series automatic circuit re-closers, which combine high technology vacuum arc interruption with integrated voltage and current measurement. The Nu-Lec N-Series offers intelligent switching to ensure quick response to faults, reducing maintenance and keeping outages to a minimum.
