What Is High Voltage Switchgear?

High voltage switchgear refers to a combination of electrical disconnect switches, fuses, and circuit breakers used to control, protect, and isolate electrical equipment in power systems operating above 1kV. In transmission and distribution networks, high voltage switchgear serves as the critical interface between power sources and end-use loads — receiving incoming power, distributing it across circuits, and providing automatic fault protection to minimize outage time and equipment damage.

Modern indoor AC metal-enclosed switchgear, such as armored drawout and box-type fixed designs, integrates primary switching apparatus, current and voltage transformers, grounding switches, and secondary relay instrumentation into a single factory-assembled cabinet. This integrated approach reduces on-site installation time, improves operational safety, and ensures consistent performance across diverse industrial environments.

Advantages of GangHeng High Voltage Switchgear

Five-Prevention Safety Interlocking

All GangHeng switchgear series incorporate comprehensive mechanical interlocking to prevent the five most common operational errors: switching disconnectors under load, incorrect breaker operations, unauthorized entry into live compartments, closing grounding switches onto live busbars, and energizing with ground switches closed. This built-in protection is critical for unmanned or partially staffed substations.

Vacuum And SF₆ Breaker Compatibility

Our 40.5kV series accepts both domestic vacuum circuit breakers (ZN85-40.5) and imported SF₆ breakers from Schneider and Alstom, allowing project teams to specify preferred equipment while maintaining cabinet compatibility. This interoperability reduces procurement complexity in international EPC projects.

High Mechanical Precision And Interchangeability

The KYN28A-12 drawout truck mechanism is designed for smooth, low-effort insertion and withdrawal. Precision matching between the truck and cabinet body ensures full interchangeability of identical truck types — a key advantage for maintenance planning in large switchgear lineups.

Robust All-Steel Construction

Cabinet enclosures are fabricated from high-quality steel plate or aluminum-zinc-coated (Galvalume) sheet, processed on CNC punching and bending machines. Horizontal busbars are arranged in triangular configuration within fully metal-separated compartments, minimizing the risk of inter-phase and phase-to-ground faults propagating across bays.

CNC-Precision Manufacturing

GangHeng's production facility in Jiangshan, Zhejiang, is equipped with CNC punching machines, CNC bending machines, laser cutting machines, and copper busbar bending machines. This equipment ensures consistent dimensional accuracy across large production runs and custom configurations alike.

Certified And Grid-Qualified

Products are certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, and CQC standards, with type test reports available for all major series. GangHeng is a qualified supplier to State Grid Corporation of China and has fulfilled supply contracts for major Chinese EPC contractors including China Railway Construction Corporation .

Frequently Asked Questions About High Voltage Switchgear

Q: What is the difference between armored drawout and fixed-type high voltage switchgear?

A: Armored drawout switchgear features a withdrawable circuit breaker truck that can be moved between working, testing, and isolated positions without de-energizing the busbar. This allows safe maintenance of individual bays while the rest of the lineup remains in service. Fixed-type switchgear has permanently mounted primary apparatus and requires full panel isolation for maintenance, making it simpler and more cost-effective for applications where extended outages are acceptable.

Q: What voltage levels does GangHeng high voltage switchgear cover?

A: GangHeng manufactures switchgear for 12kV (10kV system), 40.5kV (35kV system), and higher voltage classes. Our product range spans from 10kV indoor distribution switchgear to 40.5kV armored drawout equipment, covering the full range of medium voltage power distribution requirements.

Q: What standards does GangHeng switchgear comply with?

A: Standard production follows Chinese national standards GB 3906, GB/T 11022, and DL/T 404, which are technically harmonized with IEC 60298 and IEC 62271. For export projects, we can manufacture to ANSI/IEEE (North American), BS (British), or other international standards based on customer specification.

Q: Is customization available for non-standard configurations?

A: Yes. GangHeng has strong non-standard product acceptance capability. We can customize primary circuit schemes, cabinet dimensions, busbar ratings, relay and protection panel configurations, and surface treatment specifications. OEM and ODM services are both accepted. Our engineering team will work from your single-line diagram to produce a fully customized switchgear lineup.

Q: What is the minimum order quantity?

A: There is no minimum order quantity. We accept orders starting from a single cabinet. Whether you need one replacement unit or a complete switchgear lineup for a new substation, our production schedule can accommodate your requirement.

Q: Q6: What are typical lead times for high voltage switchgear orders?

A: Lead times depend on order value and complexity. For contracts up to 300,000 USD, we target a 30-day delivery from order confirmation. For contracts up to 700,000 USD,, the lead time is approximately 45 days; up to 1,500,000 USD, approximately 60 days. Expedited schedules can be discussed for urgent project requirements.

Q: What type of circuit breakers can be used with GangHeng switchgear?

A: Our 12kV series (KYN28A-12) is compatible with ZN63A-12 and ZN28-12 series vacuum circuit breakers with CD10/CD17A electromagnetic or CT19B spring operating mechanisms. The 40.5kV KYN61-40.5 accommodates ZN85-40.5 domestic vacuum breakers, Schneider SF series SF₆ breakers, and Alstom FP series SF₆ breakers, giving project teams flexibility in equipment sourcing.

Q: What warranty does GangHeng provide for high voltage switchgear?

A: All equipment is brand new and unused. We provide 12 months of free warranty service from the date of acceptance. For latent defects discovered after the warranty period, GangHeng retains responsibility for up to 5 years post-warranty. During the warranty period and beyond, 24/7 on-site technical support is available, and spare parts are supplied at no more than prevailing market prices.

Q: What documentation is provided with each order?

A: Standard documentation includes technical manuals, primary circuit scheme drawings, installation and commissioning guides, factory test reports, and certification copies. For export orders, we can provide customs documentation, packing lists, and certificates of origin. Third-party inspection and witnessed factory acceptance testing (FAT) can be arranged upon request.

Q: Has GangHeng supplied switchgear to international projects?

A: Yes. GangHeng has export experience in markets including the Middle East, Central Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa, with completed projects in Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Zimbabwe, and Tanzania. We are familiar with international shipping requirements, export customs procedures, and project documentation standards for overseas EPC contracts.

Q: How do I request a quote for a high voltage switchgear project?

A: Contact us with your project requirements: system voltage, number of panels, primary wiring scheme (single-line diagram if available), rated current, applicable standards, delivery location, and required delivery date. Our engineering team will respond with a technical proposal and quotation within 24 hours. You can reach us by email at zjgh2@ghswitchcabinet.com or via WhatsApp at +86 138 6700 9576.
