Medium-Voltage Switchgear is designed for wind turbines.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 08:31:46 -0500

Operating at 36 kV, NX Plus C Wind has compact design that can be readily accommodated in wind turbine towers. This gas-insulated switchgear installs in base of wind turbine tower and can fit through its door. In most applications, wind turbine with its generator supplies electrical energy at 690 V. Downcircuit converter matches frequency to wind farm's network and ensures stable voltage level. Transformer steps this up to 30 or 33 kV to minimize transmission losses.
