The UniGear Digital concept results in an advanced switchgear solution addressing important requirements of the future - flexibility, increased process efficiency, lower cost of operation and maximized integration, reliability and safety.
UniGear Digital is accomplished by providing state-of-the-art, well-proven components such as current and voltage sensors, intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) for protection and control and IEC 61850 digital communication.
UniGear Digital Concept highlights:
Safe and reliable
• Less live parts and insulating components
• Extended communication supervision functionality
• Flexible towards grid disturbances
Simple and efficient
• 30 percent quicker delivery time *
• Less variants with only one voltage and two current sensors
needed
• Easier installation, commissioning and testing
Intelligent and ready for the future
• Based on IEC 61850 communication protocol
• Ready for the evolution of the smart grid
• Simple switchboard extension and integration
Lower environmental impact
• Less energy consumption up to 250 MWh **
• Reduced switchgear footprint, no metering panel needed
• Savings of up to 150 tons of CO2 **
* compared to a conventional UniGear ZS1
** compared to a conventional UniGear ZS1 substation of 14 feeders, over 30 years operation
