2026-10-10 0 Leave me a message

KYN61-40.5 indoor metal-clad withdrawable AC switchgear is designed for 40.5kV, 50/60Hz three-phase AC power distribution systems. Adopting ABB standardized outline design and human-machine interface concepts, this high-voltage switchgear combines the proven KYN61 compartment structure with ABB-style industrial appearance and advanced operational safety features.

Designed for reliable medium-voltage power distribution applications, the KYN61-40.5 Switchgear provides excellent mechanical strength, electrical performance, and maintenance convenience for substations, power plants, and industrial power systems.


Outline and Mechanical Design of KYN61-40.5 Switchgear

The cabinet body of the KYN61-40.5 Switchgear is manufactured using high-quality aluminum-zinc coated steel plates processed by CNC bending technology. The structure adopts a high-strength bolted assembly method without welding, ensuring excellent cabinet rigidity, dimensional accuracy, and long-term mechanical stability.

The standard cabinet dimensions are:

  • Width: 1200 mm
  • Depth: 2800 mm
  • Height: 2400 mm

The enclosure is divided by grounded metal partitions into four independent compartments:

  • Busbar compartment
  • Circuit breaker handcart compartment
  • Cable compartment
  • Secondary instrument compartment

Each compartment features an independent pressure relief channel to effectively release internal arc pressure and improve operational safety.

Human-Machine Interface and Safety Structure

The front panel of the KYN61-40.5 Switchgear adopts an integrated operation design. The instrument viewing window, mechanical operating handle, handcart position indicator, locking mechanism, and warning labels are arranged in a clear and organized layout, allowing operators to quickly identify equipment status.

Optimized ventilation grilles provide efficient heat dissipation while maintaining a clean and uniform cabinet appearance. The enclosure protection rating reaches IP4X, and the protection level is IP2X when the circuit breaker compartment door is opened.

Compatibility with ABB Components

The KYN61-40.5 Switchgear is fully compatible with ABB HD4 and VD4-40.5 withdrawable vacuum circuit breakers, as well as ABB REF series protection relays. This makes it an ideal solution for projects requiring ABB-compatible switchgear configurations.

The withdrawable handcart adopts a floor-mounted screw propulsion mechanism, providing smooth operation and excellent interchangeability for ABB vacuum circuit breakers. The complete five-prevention interlocking system integrates mechanical and electrical safety protection functions according to ABB safety logic concepts.
