CWNE XGN series 12 kV ring main unit and high voltage switchgear lineup

Why Choose CWNE High Voltage Switchgear

CWNE builds high voltage switchgear in its own workshop: sheet-metal fabrication, busbar preparation, assembly and routine testing are carried out in-house, with the low voltage components inside the panels produced by the same company. That matters on a project because the panel, the protection and the components inside it come from one supplier.

  • Metal-clad and ring main variants: KYN28-12 and KYN61-40.5 metal-clad panels, HXGN ring main units, HXGW outdoor units and TBBZ capacitor banks.
  • Vacuum switching: VS1, ZN63A and ZN28 vacuum circuit breakers for the incoming and feeder panels.
  • Load break switch + fuse: compact and economical protection for transformer feeders up to about 800 kVA.
  • Protection and automation ready: relay, metering and communication wiring prepared for substation automation and remote signalling.
  • Components from the same factory: the LV devices, busbars and fuses inside the panel are CWNE products, not a mixed bill of materials.

Where CWNE High Voltage Switchgear Is Used

High Voltage Switchgear FAQ

Which high voltage panel types do you manufacture?

KYN28-12 and KYN61-40.5 metal-clad withdrawable panels, HXGN ring main units, HXGW-12 outdoor units, TBBZ-12 capacitor banks and the MVNEX-12 platform. The panels are built in our own workshop, including sheet-metal work, busbar preparation and assembly.

Do you supply the vacuum circuit breakers inside the panels?

Yes. VS1, ZN63A and ZN28 vacuum circuit breakers are used for incoming and feeder panels, matched to the panel rating and the protection scheme.

When should I use a load break switch with fuse instead of a circuit breaker?

The load break switch and fuse combination is the economical choice for transformer feeders up to about 800 kVA. Above that rating a vacuum circuit breaker with overcurrent and earth fault protection is normally specified.

Are the panels routine tested before delivery?

Yes. Each panel is routine tested for main circuit resistance, insulation, power frequency withstand and interlock function, and the test record is supplied with the panel.

Can the HV panel be supplied inside a substation enclosure?

Yes. The HV panel can be supplied as part of a YB type compact substation together with the transformer compartment and the LV panel, assembled and wired before dispatch.

Which standards apply?

Metal-enclosed AC switchgear is designed to GB 3906 and IEC 62271-200, with the individual components built to their own standards. Utility-specific requirements can be applied where they are stated in the enquiry.

Ratings shown are typical configurations. Final current, short-circuit and protection ratings are confirmed on the data sheet for the ordered variant.

Built around the transformer it feeds

Transformer feeders are configured with a load break switch and fuse combination up to about 800 kVA, or with a vacuum circuit breaker and relays above that, so the protection matches the transformer rating rather than a standard panel.

Tested before dispatch

Every panel is routine tested — main circuit resistance, insulation, power frequency withstand and interlock function — before packing, with the test record supplied with the panel.

Standards

Panels are designed and manufactured to GB 3906 and IEC 62271-200 for metal-enclosed AC switchgear, with component standards applied to the devices inside.

1. Fix the system data

Rated voltage, rated current of the busbar, short-time withstand current and peak withstand current, plus the earthing system. These four values decide the panel family before any layout is drawn.

2. Choose the panel type per function

  • Incoming: metal-clad withdrawable panel with a vacuum circuit breaker and protective relay.
  • Transformer feeder up to about 800 kVA: load break switch with fuse, in a ring main or metal-clad panel.
  • Transformer feeder above 800 kVA: vacuum circuit breaker with overcurrent and earth fault protection.
  • Outdoor point: HXGW outdoor unit instead of a building.

3. Define the protection and automation scope

State whether relays, metering, fault passage indication, remote signalling or full substation automation are required, and which protocol the utility or plant uses.

4. Agree the interface to the transformer and the LV side

Cable or busbar connection, cable size and direction, and whether the HV panel is supplied inside a substation enclosure together with the transformer and the LV panel.
