UniSafe (ABB Design) is medium voltage metal-clad switchgear suitable for indoor installations.
The switchgear is modular and is made up by placing standardized units side by side in a coordinated way.
Vacuum of SF6 circuit breaker technology is available.
Circuit breakers with the same rating are interchangeable irrespective of switching technology.
The unit compartments are metallically segregated from each other and the live parts are air insulated.
The switchgear functional units are guaranteed to be ARC-PROOF in compliance with IEC Standards app. AA, class A accessibility, criteria 1 to 5.
Installation requires very simple civil works. The switchgear can be wall-mounted. Access to the branch connections to connect the power cables takes place from the front of the switchgear.

Degrees of protection
The degrees of protection of the switchgear comply with IEC Standards.
UniSafe switchgear are normally supplied with the following standard degrees of protection:
- External housing: IP4X
- Inside the units: IP2X.
