Conventional elbow-connected switchgear requires that operating personnel move, test, and ground cables during routine operations. Such procedures are awkward and time consuming, and—most importantly—personnel are not fully isolated from medium voltage once a cable is removed from its bushing.
Vista UDS introduces a new level of safety and simplicity by eliminating the need for cable handling during routine operations. It’s all made possible by Vista gear’s numerous innovations, including:
- Simpler, safer, one-person operation. No cable handling or high-voltage exposure during switching, grounding or cable testing. Cuts cost through smaller crews, quicker operation
- Site gear without compromising aesthetics. Pleases customers and saves money through reduced trenching, shorter cable runs
- Up to six switches and single- or three-phase tripping fault interrupters. Saves money by handling more loads per unit
- Superior coordination, flexibility, reliability. Innovative TCCs can be optimized using a PC. No knobs or dials to challenge security
- Exclusive arc-resistant construction meets requirements of IEC Standard 298, Appendix AA
- Contamination- and corrosion-proof. Sealed SF6 design handles any environment . . . even subsurface
- Consistent operating practices. Same gear for subsurface, vault, and pad-mounted applications. Cuts inventory and operator-training cost
- Easily upgraded to SCADA operation
