Innovation takes a step forward with composite materials, replacing metal seems inconceivable, but a world’s first in MV switchgear features in the new SF6-free green and digital equipment. Using proven experience and 19 patents, CompoDrive, a revolutionary switchgear mechanism has been developed using the latest developments in composite materials. This first composite switchgear mechanism follows years of laboratory research to select robust materials, capable to resist the mechanical shock and wear expected during the 10,000 operations and 40 year expected life. After decades use in automotive and aviation, composite materials can now help electrical networks become smart. To integrate renewable energy, network configurations need to evolve easily. The latest RM and SM AirSeT MV switchgear uses CompoDrive with plug and play motors to operate remotely. Upgrade is simple with no need to deenergize the switchgear, or change whole mechanisms, in just 15 minutes. With greatly reduced metallic components, CompoDrive will not corrode in harsh environments, and is also lubricated for a lifetime of operations, reducing maintenance intervals. Certified to 10,000 operations, it is designed not only for endurance, but for extra peace of mind, as replacement can be done in just 5 minutes. Even when power is unavailable, the motorized mechanism can be operated manually, greatly improving safety for operators. And if you need to add locks for restricting switching operations, CompoDrive allows them to be added without de-energizing. CompoDrive brings several new safety benefits to everyday use. Operation of the switch disconnector and earthing switch is done easily, with an inbuilt interlocking feature. The composite materials fully comply with IEC standards and endurance tests necessary for switch disconnector and circuit breakers. CompoDrive mechanisms offer high performance and endurance in the latest RM and SM AirSeT, SF6-free switchgear, a sustainable, reliable and innovative solution in all environmental conditions. Oh, it’s also eco-friendly and is 100% recyclable.
