Compartments
Each unit consists of three power compartments;
busbars, feeder, circuit breaker and low voltage

Earthing busbar
The earthing busbar is made of electrolytic copper.
It runs through the whole switchboard length thus
guaranteing a high safety degree both for the personnel
and the installation.

SWITCHBOARD CHARACTERISTICS
Safety interlocks
The UniGear switchboard is fitted with all the
interlocks and accessories needed to guarantee the
high level of safety and reliability both for the
installation and operators.
Keys
The use of key interlocks is very important in realising
the interlocking logics between units of the same
switchboard, or of other medium , low and high
voltage switchboards. The logics are realised by
means of distributors or by ringing the keys.
Locking magnets
The locking magnets are used to make automatic
interlock logics without human intervation. The Withdrawable circuit breaker
magnets operate with active logics and therefore the control wiring plug&socket
lack of auxiliary voltage makes the lock become non-
operative.
