UniGear ZS2 (ABB Technology)

 

UniGear type ZS2 (former Unisafe 36) is a medium voltage, metal-clad switchgear suitable for indoor installations. It is a modular apparatus made of aligned standard units. Metal sheets segregate each compartment and the energized components are air insulated.

All the startup, maintenance and service operations can be carried out from the front of the unit. The switchgear and the earthing switches are operated from the front with the door closed. The switchgear can be wall-mounted. The range of apparatus available for UniGear ZS2 switchgear is the most complete on the market, including vacuum and gas circuit-breakers.
