Ormazabal 33kv Switchgear

Medium Voltage Primary Distribution

Ormazabal CPG.0 range of CPG MV switchgear comprises of a full assembly of modular cubicles up to 24kV / 2500A and 33/36kV / 1250A, GIS (Gas Insulated Switchgear) type, with SF6 insulation, for the configuration of primary distribution electrical networks operating at medium voltages. Types of Ormazabal functional 33kV MV switchgear:

  • MV Circuit Breaker CPG.0-V
  • MV Busbar Coupling CPG.0-C
  • MV Disconnector CPG.0-S
  • MV Fuse Protection CPG.0-F
  • MV Busbar Rise CPG.0-RB
