Air-insulated medium-voltage switchgear –
cleverly switched, local added value
Peace of mind, saves lives,
increases productivity, saves money

Answers for energy.

 Experience and quality for maximum
system safety

The industrialized world of today is characterized by a rising

energy demand and growing environmental consciousness con-
currently with an increasing price pressure. At the same time,
users are of course placing maximum demands regarding reli-
ability, personal protection and productivity in connection with
switchgear operation.

There is one thing you just have to rely on: smooth and safe
operation of your system. Around the clock. Here, switchgear
assemblies as points of intersection play a decisive role – and
air-insulated switchgear concepts from our worldwide produc-
tion locations offer the best solution with no doubt.

As a pioneer for air-insulated switchgear we bring along 25 years
of know-how in the development of switchgear and switching
devices. Along with this, our manufacturing plants in all regions
of the world ensure local added value and thus, permanent prox-
imity to the customer, so that you can take full advantage of air-
insulated technology: As insulating medium, air is available day
and night, and withdrawable switchgear systems guarantee
accessibility to all switchgear components at any time.

With air-insulated switchgear from Siemens you are always on
the safe side – our switchgear is type-tested for indoor installa-
tion according to IEC 62271-200 or ANSI/IEEE C37.20.2. In this
way you profit from our leading position as regards fulfillment of
this new standard IEC 62271-200. Regardless of the fact that air-
insulated switchgear from Siemens has always been a synonym
for maximum personal and opera-tional safety as well as local
added value.


Keep everything going in your power supply system:
Air-insulated switchgear from Siemens –
for sustainability, safety and efficiency
Peace of mind
With its sophisticated technology, a globally interconnected
R&D network, a worldwide production and quality network and
the fulfillment of all type and routine tests according to the re-
quirements of the international standards without restrictions,
air-insulated switchgear offers maximum peace of mind.
Saves lives
All air-insulated switchgear designs from Siemens are approved
with internal arc classification IAC A FLR, loss of service continuity
category LSC 2B, LSC 2A or LSC 1 depending on the switchgear
type, as well as partition class PM. Thus they can be universally
installed, fulfilling maximum requirements as regards personal
protection.
Increases productivity
Functions such as evidence of the making and breaking capac-
ity for the built-in circuit-breakers and earthing switches – and
even confinement of the arc to the respective compartment de-
pending on the switchgear type – as well as designs equipped
to meet maximum requirements with respect to the degree of
protection provide uninterrupted operation and an appreciable
increase of productivity.
Saves money
The compact design and the use of vacuum circuit-breakers pay
off twice for the switchgear operator. On the one hand, build-
ing costs can be reduced, and on the other hand, the mainte-
nance-free design of the circuit-breakers enables continuous
operation without expensive downtimes.
Siemens – your partner on site
We take care that you can “switch cleverly“. Combining innova-
tion, experience and local added value. With comprehensive
know-how, worldwide service – and profound understanding
of your requirements in the most different regions due to local
production capacity. Go and see for yourself!

Local added value – systematically:
Worldwide production –
complete processes –
a quality standard
R&D headquarters in Germany
concentrate international know-how
All global development activities are concentrated and controlled
centrally: International development teams introduce the re-
spective country-specific requirements in our R&D activities.
A good basis for maximum development synergies, contributing
to lean development cycles by means of optimal exchange of
experience.
High demands – in practical implementation:
The 3D-CAD procedure
During the development and production phase, the utilization of
3D-CAD software ensures perfect quality and reliability. The in-
dividual technical data of your switchgear is transferred directly
from the purchase order to the production department via the
design department. Using innovative technologies we can offer
a maximum of quality and flexibility in production – with short
delivery times.

Local added value – country-specific flexibility
Hundreds of Siemens employees manufacture our air-insulated
switchgear type series in different regions worldwide. In this
way we do not only ensure the local know-how for the require-
ments varying from country to country, but also integrate expe-
rience from other locations. Production processes are docu-
mented in a comprehensible way – to reach the quality level
you, as our customer, can expect in a fast, safe and reproduc-
ible way.
Strict eyes – to assure the quality
Our very modern, accredited testing laboratories ensure the
high quality of our air-insulated switchgear. Besides type and
routine tests for the individual switchgear type series, continu-
ous process-accompanying quality assurance according to
ISO 9001 and 14001 is performed. Being associated with
PEHLA and DAR, our testing laboratories have the status of
independent test institutes.

Medium voltage –
cleverly switched
Gas-insulated switchgear:
Compact, maintenance-free and climate-independent

Power Transmission and Distribution

 For perfect
operation of
your system:
There is one thing you just have to rely
on: Smooth and safe operation of your
system. Around the clock. Here, switch-
gear assemblies as points of intersection
play a decisive role – and switchgear con-
cepts from Siemens offer the best solu-
tion with no doubt.

As a pioneer for gas-insulated switchgear

we bring along 25 years of know-how,
so that you can take full advantage of
this technology – with a compact, main-
tenance-free and climate-independent
design. For lower ratings we also offer
air-insulated switchgear type SIMOSEC
with SF6 switch-disconnectors. The only
decisive factor are your requirements.

With Siemens you are always on the

safe side. Whether for secondary or for
primary distribution switchgear – all our
switchgear is already type-tested today
for indoor installation according to
IEC 62271-200 (in main aspects also
according to ANSI C37.20). In this way
you profit from our leading position as
regards fulfillment of this new standard.
Regardless of the fact that Siemens
switchgear has been a synonym for maxi-
mum personal and operational safety.

We take care that you can “switch cleverly”.

Combining innovation and experience.
With comprehensive know-how, world-
wide service – and profound understand-
ing of your markets. Go and see for
yourself!


Systematic quality – by innovative procedures,
technologies and production processes
With six product families for the primary
and secondary distribution level, the
Switchgear Factory Frankfurt/Main has
a top position on the world market for
gas-insulated switchgear.
High demands – in practical imple-
mentation: The 3D CAD procedure
3D CAD design tools provide for the
precise implementation of quality and
reliability for our switchgear in develop-
ment and production. The technical data
of your switchgear is transferred directly
from the purchase order to the produc-
tion department via the design depart-
ment with mathematical precision. Using
innovative technologies we can offer
a maximum of quality and flexibility in
production – with short delivery times.
The reason is a distinct understanding of
quality, reaching far beyond the certifica-
tion according to DIN EN ISO 9001 and
14001. Thousands of switchgear assem-
blies running reliably all over the world
are an impressive proof for this.
Everything tailor-made:
The laser cutting system
The use of CNC-controlled laser cutting
systems guarantees the manufacture
of precise, exact parts with a surface
free of scratches – at a high cutting
speed. Maximum material utilization is
ensured by the programs generated by
the NC nesting processor.
Decades of experience in development,
manufacture, quality and environmental
management as well as in service sup-
port the leading position of the factory
– as a worldwide center of competence
and leading production for medium-volt-
age switchgear from Siemens.
For surge-proof operation:
Cast-resin part manufacture
Insulating parts made of cast resin
guarantee the dielectric strength of
high-voltage phases to earth. The
complete production process of such
parts – which are essential for switch-
gear – is integrated in our production.
The quality of these components is
100% routine-tested by means of X-ray,
tightness, high-voltage and partial
discharge tests.

More precise, faster, tighter:
The laser welding equipment
The application of laser welding tech-
nology leads to maximum precision,
fast throughput times and gas tight-
ness. The electrical bushings of the
stainless-steel vessels are welded in
without seals – as well as the metal
bellows for transmission of the operat-
ing energies from outside the vessel to
the switching devices located inside.
Everything tight, everything all right:
Integral leakage detection system
“Sealed for life” is the target for each
and every switchgear vessel. For this
purpose, the vessel is evacuated to-
gether with the test chamber and then
filled separately with helium, which
has a smaller molecular structure than
SF6. If no escaping helium is detected,
gas tightness is guaranteed for life.
The helium gas is absorbed again, the
switchgear vessel is refilled with SF6,
and the filling socket is welded tight.
Strict eyes: Type and routine tests as
an integral part of quality assurance
Very modern testing laboratories ensure
the high quality of our products. Here,
type and routine tests for the different
switchgear types as well as continuous
process-accompanying quality assurance
according to ISO 9001 and 14001 are
performed. Our accredited testing labo-
ratories in Frankfurt/Main and Berlin are
among the largest in the world.
With standards to success:
Assembly
Standards play an important part at the
Switchgear Factory Frankfurt/Main.
The sequence of a process is document-
ed in a reproducible way – to guarantee
that the quality level the customer ex-
pects is reached in a fast, safe and re-
producible way. For example, assembly:
It is divided into clearly defined opera-
tions and organized following the one-
piece-flow principle.
Being associated with PEHLA, they have
the status of independent test insti-
tutes. Furthermore, our type tests are
internationally accepted. For example,
we take over the testing and certifica-
tion of packaged substations from other
manufacturers who do not have a test-
ing laboratory of their own.
Necessary tools are always ready to
hand, parts and materials are supplied
to the workplace – all this saves en-
ergy, time and supports precision. Ac-
cording to the push-pull principle, the
subsequent process always controls the
preceding process: For example, by the
information that an operation has been
completed or that material is required.

Innovation
by tradition
25 years of gas-insulated medium-
voltage switchgear from Siemens
In 1982 Siemens introduced a world nov-
elty to the market: The first gas-insulated
switchgear for medium voltage. Right
from the beginning, this innovation has
written a success story.
For us, this is a commitment for con-
tinuous development: As a leader in
technology we have been permanently
redefining performance and economic
efficiency for a quarter century – a process
you, as the customer, benefit from. Even
tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
Milestones from a quarter century
First gas-insulated switchgear for
secondary distribution levels
8DJ10 – Stadtwerke Lambrecht (Pfalz) GmbH,
Germany
1977
Siemens brings the first vacuum circuit-
breaker to market, setting new standards
regarding the reachable number of op-
erating cycles, necessary maintenance,
small dimensions, reliability and environ-
mental independence.
1982
The first gas-insulated switchgear for the
primary distribution level is available with
the type designation 8DA10 and 8DB10.
And for the secondary distribution level,
Siemens offers the type 8DJ10 as the first
hermetically welded, maintenance-free
gas-insulated switchgear worldwide. This
is the first switchgear that is extremely
compact and climate-independent.
1985
With 7SA502, Siemens was the first
worldwide provider to introduce a micro-
processor-based multifunction protection
relay to the market, thus initiating the
age of numerical protection and control
systems.
First gas-insulated switchgear for
primary distribution levels
8DA10 – BELG (today, E.ON Bayern AG),
Station Kulmbach Mitte, Germany
1993
As the first switchgear of its kind, 8DH10
switchgear for the secondary distribution
level combines hermetically welded tech-
nology and maintenance-free design with
simple extensibility. In the same year,
the first maintenance-free, hermetically
welded switchgear appears on the prima-
ry distribution level: NXPLUS C. Gas work
for installation and extension is therefore
a thing of the past.
2000
Siemens offers sealed systems for the
complete medium-voltage range – up to
40.5 kV, 40 kA, 4500 A.
2006
Every gas-insulated switchgear from
Siemens complies with the new switch-
gear standards IEC 62271-100 and -200.
