Abstract

In power systems, high-voltage switchgear serves as the “central hub” connecting generation, transmission, and distribution, with its performance directly impacting grid safety, stability, and operational efficiency. Selecting the right switchgear supplier is not only critical for the long-term reliable operation of electrical equipment but also essential for reducing maintenance costs and ensuring electrical safety. Hunan Electrical Appliance Co., Ltd., a specialized manufacturer of power equipment, focuses on the research, development, and production of three major switchgear types—KYN28 center‑mounted cabinets, XGN fixed cabinets, and HXGN ring main units—providing customers with end-to-end solutions that span product selection to after-sales service.

 

I. KYN28 Center‑Mounted Switchgear: The Workhorse of the Distribution Center

The KYN28 series switchgear is one of the most widely used cabinet types in modern power distribution systems. Its official name is “AC metal-clad withdrawable switchgear,” and it derives its name from the centrally mounted handcart‑type vacuum circuit breaker. The cabinet body is fabricated from aluminum‑zinc coated steel sheets, which are CNC‑machined and then multi‑folded and bolted together, forming a fully enclosed metal‑clad structure. The circuit breaker compartment, busbar compartment, cable compartment, and relay compartment are independently segregated, achieving an ingress protection rating of IP4X.

Technical Highlights:

The circuit breaker is of the center‑mounted withdrawable type, allowing it to be removed from the cabinet for maintenance; units of the same model are interchangeable, ensuring convenient servicing. An insulating shutter separates the handcart compartment from the cable compartment, with a mechanism that automatically isolates live contacts to ensure safe maintenance.

It is equipped with a comprehensive set of mandatory “five-protection” interlocking functions, supporting multiple interlocked safeguards, including prevention of misoperation of circuit breakers, prevention of operating load‑carrying handcart push‑pull operations, and prevention of closing grounding switches under energized conditions.

The rated current ranges from 630 A to 4,000 A, and the rated breaking capacity covers multiple levels, including 25 kA, 31.5 kA, and 40 kA. The cabinet features a redundant insulation design, with robust sealing and advanced anti-corrosion coating processes, ensuring reliable performance in high‑load, high‑safety applications such as power plants, substations, and distribution centers in industrial and mining enterprises.

Applicable scenarios: Power plant outgoing lines and distribution, power distribution for industrial, mining, and institutional facilities, receiving and delivering power at secondary substations in the electric power system, as well as starting‑control for large high‑voltage motors, among other applications. For users seeking intelligent monitoring, remote operation, and “five‑prevention” safety protection, the KYN28 is the ideal choice.

 

II. XGN Fixed Cabinet: A Cost-Effective Option with a Robust Structure

The XGN series is a box-type, fixed‑type, metal‑enclosed switchgear. Its key feature is that the circuit breaker is permanently mounted inside the cabinet and cannot be withdrawn; switching operations must be performed via an isolating switch. The cabinet is fabricated from galvanized sheet steel through bending and assembled using bolts, adopting a modular design that allows flexible adaptation to various distribution systems, including single‑busbar configurations and single‑busbar systems with bypass.

Technical Highlights:

Robust and durable yet cost‑effective—featuring a fixed‑type circuit breaker design that significantly reduces costs compared to the hand‑cart type. The cabinet does not incorporate interphase or phase‑to‑ground insulating plates; all primary circuits are directly busbar‑mounted, with ample air insulation clearances, ensuring high dielectric strength and stable performance.

It exhibits enhanced physical robustness in demanding industrial environments characterized by high energy consumption and frequent, short‑duration fault trips, while its grounding and isolation schemes are both simplified and more reliable.

The product complies with the national standard GB 3906 and the power industry standard DL/T 404. It features a built-in rotary isolating switch that provides “metallic isolation,” creating two grounded disconnect points between live parts and the isolated conductors, thereby ensuring the safety of maintenance personnel.

Applicable scenarios: The XGN fixed‑type switchgear is suitable for power plants, industrial and mining enterprises’ distribution systems, small substations, and similar applications. It is particularly recommended for projects with limited budgets and modest requirements for operational flexibility, or for distribution environments where line stability is high and frequent maintenance is not necessary.

 

III. HXGN Ring Main Units: An Efficient Solution for Compact Spaces

The HXGN series comprises box-type, fixed‑type, metal‑enclosed ring‑main switchgear, primarily intended for 10 kV ring‑network power supply systems and terminal distribution. A ring‑main unit is a compact switching device that employs a combination of load switches and fuses to achieve fault isolation and power redistribution.

Technical Highlights:

Compact in size and featuring a streamlined, fully modular design, it is easy to expand and install. With its small footprint, light weight, low operating force, enhanced safety, and convenient maintenance, it represents a new generation of high-voltage switchgear ideally suited for urban grid modernization and construction.

The combination of a load switch and a fuse provides effective overload and short-circuit protection, and is equipped with electromagnetic and electric spring‑operated mechanisms for switching, ensuring flexible operation. It features reliable “five‑protection” interlocking functions, with mandatory mechanical locking to ensure safe maintenance.

Rated voltage: 12 kV; suitable for 50-Hz AC ring‑main and terminal distribution systems, with strong environmental adaptability. The product offers excellent scalability, simple and safe operation, a compact design, and outstanding cost‑effectiveness.

Applicable scenarios: Urban distribution network construction and renovation projects, residential communities, high-rise buildings, commercial complexes, schools, parks, and box-type substations—these applications all demand substantial space and require either ring‑network power supply or terminal‑type power supply. The HXGN series is particularly well suited for oil‑free environments, maintenance‑free operation, and locations with frequent switching operations, and it is also ideal for integration into prefabricated box‑type substations.
