People Electric · Metal-Enclosed Switchgear
Product overview
People Electric XGN15-12 fixed metal-enclosed ring-main switchgear provides load switching and transformer-feeder protection. The documented load-switch and fuse-combination versions have different current and interruption duties. Its original circuit and interlock drawings support a project-specific cabinet arrangement; specify the complete assembly rather than selecting unrelated catalogue maxima.
Technical selection summary
| Manufacturer / system | Original People Electric XGN15-12 |
|---|---|
| Rated voltage / frequency | 12kV; AC50Hz |

| Lightning impulse withstand voltage | 75kV phase-to-earth/interphase;85kV across isolating gap |
| Load-switch duties | Closed-loop and resistive-load breaking630A; cable-charging breaking10A |
| Fuse-combination transfer current | 1700A, as tabulated; confirm exact switch/fuse coordination |
| No-load transformer breaking capacity | 1250kVA, as tabulated; verify selected switching duty |
| Load-switch making / short-time withstand | Peak making63kA; short-time withstand25kA for2s; peak withstand63kA |
| Fuse-combination short-circuit entry | 31.5kA is marked expectancy in the source. It is not asserted as an independently verified complete-assembly rating. |

| Installation conditions | Altitude ≤1000m; ambient −25 to +40°C; daily average humidity ≤95%, monthly average ≤90%; no corrosive or flammable contamination or frequent severe vibration |
| Control and fuses | Confirm the exact AC/DC control supply, fuse model and coordination for the project; no missing fuse code is invented. |
Select the correct load-switch or fuse-combination version. The source explicitly qualifies the31.5kA combination-breaking figure as expectancy, so confirm approved test evidence and protection coordination before specifying that duty. Keep all project circuit, interlock and installation requirements linked to the actual assembly.
Typical applications
- Project-specific distribution switching and protection.
- Substation and industrial electrical distribution assemblies specified to approved drawings.
