Cabinet construction

Four paths through MV and LV distribution

KYN28A, the two ring-network models, GGD and GCS answer different circuit duties. Compare switching arrangement, access and installation interfaces before fixing the panel lineup.

Medium voltageKYN28A-12Withdrawable breaker panel
Construction route 01 / 04

Metal-clad withdrawable switchgear

Use the indoor KYN28A-12 arrangement where the MV feeder scheme calls for a withdrawable breaker and its protection and interlocks.

Panel arrangement
Review the breaker carriage, busbar and cable connections, secondary control and interlocks on the proposed panel drawing.
Site interface
Match the panel lineup and cable entry to the electrical room, with operating and maintenance access on the required side.
Medium voltageXGN15-12andHXGN15-12 ACRing-network switching
Construction route 02 / 04

Ring-network switchgear

A ring or distribution switching point needs a defined circuit function, switching duty and cable arrangement. XGN15-12 and HXGN15-12 AC are separate model lines.

Model distinction
XGN15-12 uses a three-position SF6 load switch. HXGN15-12 AC uses a fixed metal-enclosed form; confirm its switching and operating arrangement for the quoted unit.
Site interface
Set ring, feeder and transformer functions first, then check earthing, cable terminations and access to each functional unit.
Low voltageGGD ACPower distribution cabinet
Construction route 03 / 04

Low-voltage distribution cabinet

Use the GGD AC route to arrange an LV incoming supply, main busbar and protected outgoing circuits from the feeder schedule.

Panel arrangement
Define switching and protective devices, busbar duty and feeder positions for the quoted cabinet rather than treating the enclosure as a fixed circuit list.
Site interface
Coordinate lineup footprint, incoming and outgoing cable entry, connection points and access with the room layout.
Low voltageGCSDraw-out functional units
Construction route 04 / 04

Low-voltage draw-out switchgear

The GCS lineup uses modular draw-out functional units. Build the unit mix around the feeder and motor-control schedule.

Unit arrangement
Specify each functional unit, its protection and the busbar and cable interfaces on the proposed lineup drawing.
Site interface
Allow for drawer operation, service access, cable approach and the final lineup dimensions in the installation plan.

Confirm the final construction, ratings and panel dimensions on the quotation drawings for the selected models.

Specification process

Specify each cabinet by circuit duty

Build the schedule circuit by circuit. Keep medium-voltage and low-voltage duties separate, then check the selected panel construction and installation interfaces.

From circuit schedule to panel proposal

  1. 01

    Map the circuit functions

    Separate MV breaker and ring duties from LV incoming, outgoing, feeder and motor functions on the single-line diagrams.

  2. 02

    Assign a construction route

    Review KYN28A for withdrawable MV breakers; XGN15 or HXGN15 for ring circuits; GGD for LV distribution; and GCS for draw-out LV functions.

  3. 03

    Check ratings and layout

    Confirm switching, protection, busbar and fault duties by model. Check the proposed lineup, cable entry, access and room dimensions.

  4. 04

    Review drawings and documents

    Match the panel schedule to the general arrangement and primary and secondary drawings. Identify required test records and the supply boundary.

Use model-specific drawings and data sheets to approve the quoted MV and LV lineups.

Model comparison

Compare cabinet construction and circuit duty

Use the voltage side and circuit function to shortlist a model. Compare switching arrangement and service access, then confirm the ratings and layout for each selected cabinet.

Quotation information

Information for a cabinet quotation

Send the MV and LV circuit schedules with the installation requirements. Identify the selected cabinet models and mark any ratings or layout decisions still open.

Useful project files

Include single-line diagrams, feeder and motor schedules, a room plan and the device list. Existing panel drawings help define replacement or extension interfaces.

Application context

Cabinet applications

Review circuit duty, installation access and connection interfaces for MV networks, LV loads and changes to existing panel lineups.

Concept diagram · electrical relationship only

MV receiving and ring circuits

KYN28A-12 uses a withdrawable breaker. XGN15-12 and HXGN15-12 AC are separate ring-network model lines with their own switching arrangements.

Design considerations

Mark receiving, ring and feeder functions on the single-line diagram. Confirm the switching, earthing and protection duties, cable terminations and access for each selected model.

Concept diagram · electrical relationship only

LV power and motor distribution

GGD AC serves LV incoming supply and outgoing power circuits. GCS uses draw-out functional units for defined feeder and motor-control duties.

Design considerations

Use the load and motor schedules to define each circuit. Review protective devices, busbar duty, cable entry and the operating space required by the proposed cabinet or drawer arrangement.

Concept diagram · interface review only

Replacement or lineup extension

A replacement panel or lineup extension must match the documented electrical and mechanical interfaces of the installed equipment.

Design considerations

Provide model and nameplate records, busbar and cable positions, primary and secondary drawings, and room dimensions. Confirm connection compatibility, interlocks and installation access before approving the arrangement.

Specification questions

Questions before specifying a lineup

Answers to common questions about MV and LV models, switching duty, cabinet construction and installation interfaces.

Which models belong to the MV and LV sides?

KYN28A-12, XGN15-12 and HXGN15-12 AC serve medium-voltage circuit duties. GGD AC and GCS serve low-voltage distribution. Assign each panel to its voltage side and circuit function, then review its model-specific ratings and construction.

Does a ring-network model name define the switching duty?

Define ring, feeder and transformer functions on the single-line diagram. XGN15-12 uses a three-position SF6 load switch; HXGN15-12 AC needs its selected switching arrangement specified. Confirm load switching, required fault interruption, protection and earthing for each functional unit.

How should I choose a fixed or draw-out arrangement?

HXGN15-12 AC has a fixed metal-enclosed form, KYN28A-12 a withdrawable MV breaker carriage, and GCS LV draw-out functional units. Match the arrangement to the maintenance and isolation requirements. Check unit positions, interlocks, cable access and operating clearance on the proposed drawings.

Which details define the panel layout?

Specify device positions, panel order, dimensions and cable entry for the selected models. Coordinate the general arrangement with the primary and secondary circuit drawings, operating clearances and service access.

Can a new cabinet replace or extend an existing lineup?

Compatibility needs an interface review. Provide the installed model and nameplate records, busbar and cable positions, primary and secondary drawings, and room dimensions. Confirm electrical and mechanical connections, interlocks and service access before approving the proposed panel.

What documents help prepare a cabinet quotation?

Send the MV and LV single-line diagrams, feeder and motor schedules, device list and room plan. State voltage, current and fault duties, model and unit quantities, cable entry, required documents and the supply boundary. Mark any ratings or layout decisions still open.
