The Product Family Xiria is the name of Eaton's product family for a new generation of medium voltage switchgear. The Xiria family started more than a decade ago with the introduction of the Xiria ring main unit. This ring main unit consists of a block containing three panels. Due to the quick acceptance and worldwide interest in more configurations, Eaton consequently developed a four, five and two panel block. Due to the fact that the individual units cannot be coupled and are limited in the number of panels and protection and control equipment, the single panel version was developed....

Xiria E Modular Switchgear for Smart Grid Applications Xiria E is the name of Eaton's new medium voltage switchgear for smart grid applications. The system is characterised by its high level of operational safety and suitable for applications up to 24 kV. The Xiria E switchgear is designed around Eaton's proven vacuum interrupters, which require no maintenance and are certified for 30,000 operation cycles. reduced, as no regular testing of gas pressure or other routine maintenance is needed and there is no high end-of-life cost associated with ultimately disposing of the equipment. All live...

Basic Design The Xiria E system is modular in construction. This ensures that any panel combination and sequence is possible. In addition, the number of panels capable of being used in an installation is unlimited as several sections can easily be connected. As the panels can be quickly assembled and connected, flexible commissioning of the switchgear is possible. The panels in the Xiria E system are compact (500 mm wide), resulting in considerable savings in costs and installation space. Circuit-breaker panel (example) 1. Low Voltage compartment 3. Control panel with operation of the...

Eaton Core Technologies Solid insulation Polycarbonate and Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) is used as high-quality primary insulation materials around live parts. By applying Polycarbonate and TPE for solid insulation our design engineers can shape the parts specifically for optimal insulation, robust construction and cooling purposes. In the many years of experience with design and manufacturing of insulation materials, we learned to construct smart single phase insulated constructions. Xiria utilizes optimal field control through the special design of all primary components. Electrical...

Routine tests Various prescribed routine tests are carried out during the production of the switchgear. To assure quality, all processes are in accordance with DIN EN 9001. This means that at every stage of production the components, circuit-breakers and current transformers are inspected for correct functioning. When the entire installation has been assembled, a thorough visual inspection is carried out, together with mechanical, functional and electrical checks. Philosophy on Internal arcs Eaton always puts extra focus on creating safe switchgear for operators at all times. One of the...
