Complete Switchgear Cabinets for LV and MV Distribution Projects

Compare low-voltage distribution cabinets, GIS gas-insulated switchgear, KYN28 metal-clad withdrawable switchgear, RMU and XGN fixed-type cabinets before preparing a technical RFQ.

Switchgear cabinet series

Start with the cabinet series, then confirm rating and bay schedule.

Select the closest series from project role, voltage class and installation room. Model number, bay schedule and drawings come after the series is confirmed.

GIS SPEC: Available values cover JLSRM-12 gas-insulated RMU, XRM/SRM 12/24 common-box RMU, HXGN15-12 SF6 ring cabinet and 10 kV enclosed gas-insulated RMU. Keep a dedicated GIS lineup request separate until a dedicated GIS drawing or model sheet is supplied.
GIS gas-insulated cabinet SPEC

Gas-insulated switchgear values available for the fifth product entry.

Use these values for early GIS, SF6 sealed-tank, common-box and compact gas-insulated cabinet review before confirming the final module sequence and quotation package.

Environment-led selection Choose by installation environment before model number.
LV distribution room

Low-Voltage Distribution Cabinets

Use LV distribution cabinets in indoor low-voltage power rooms, MCC rooms, plants, commercial buildings and transformer secondary distribution boards.

Indoor MV switchgear room

KYN28 Metal-Clad Switchgear

Use KYN28 switchgear in indoor medium-voltage rooms where incoming, outgoing or transformer feeder bays require withdrawable VCB trucks.

Compact secondary distribution

Ring Main Unit

Use RMU cabinets in cable ring networks, small substations, branch boxes and distribution terminals where compact modular bays reduce room footprint.

Fixed indoor MV room

XGN Fixed-Type Switchgear

Use XGN fixed-type switchgear in substations, power plants, transformer rooms, industrial facilities and commercial buildings where fixed box-type cabinet layout fits.

Structure and Working Principle

Switchgear Cabinet Structure and Package Layers

After the cabinet series is selected, define the enclosure format, switching unit, main circuit path, protection layer and room interface before final model confirmation.

Switchgear cabinet structure flow

Series choice sets the enclosure. The switching unit, busbar path, cable entry and protection layer then define the final cabinet package.

Voltage sideLV / KYN28 / RMU / XGN

System voltage and room duty define the enclosure format.

Switching unitBreaker / Switch / Module

VCB truck, load switch, fuse combination or fixed bay duty.

Main circuitBusbar / Cable Entry

Main busbar, branch busbar, cable side and termination direction.

Protection layerRelay / CT / PT

Protection, metering, control power and interlock logic.

InstallationRoom / Trench

Cabinet width, access side, cable trench and clearance.

Factory checksRoutine / Interlock

Dielectric, mechanical operation and interlock checks.

01

Enclosure Format

Fixed, drawer, withdrawable, sealed, common-box, expandable or non-expandable cabinet layout.

02

Switching Unit

VCB truck, load switch, fuse combination, breaker module and earthing switch define the bay duty.

03

Main Circuit Path

Incoming busbar, branch busbar, cable entry and termination direction decide the compartment arrangement.

04

Protection Layer

Relay, CT/PT, metering, control power, indication and interlocks are matched to the feeder function.

05

Room Interface

Cabinet width, access side, cable trench position and extension side must match the switchgear room.

Drawing and Technical Data Review

Switchgear Cabinet Drawings and Technical Data

Use technical files to confirm the cabinet series, bay sequence, room interface and wiring before production drawings are locked; teams can also download switchgear cabinet catalog PDFs before final series review.

File 01Specification Sheet

Voltage class, rated current, short-circuit level, insulation level and service condition.

File 02Single-Line Diagram

Incoming supply, feeder function, transformer bay, metering bay and outgoing circuit count.

File 03Bay Schedule

Cabinet sequence, module order, breaker or switch duty, CT/PT and relay requirement.

File 04Outline And Wiring Drawings

Cabinet width, cable entry, trench position, room clearance, wiring and terminal arrangement.

Keep factory inspection and packing records separate from drawing review so each stage has a clear document purpose.

01
Lock the cabinet series first.

LV cabinet, KYN28, RMU, XGN and GIS wording use different rating rows, enclosure formats and drawing references.

02
Use the single-line diagram as the starting file.

The diagram confirms incoming supply, feeder purpose, metering position and transformer connection before the bay schedule is finalized.

03
Match drawings to room constraints.

Outline and wiring drawings should reflect cabinet width, access side, cable trench, terminal position and future extension side.

04
Separate review drawings from factory records.

Drawing files define layout and wiring before production; routine inspection and packing records belong to the delivery stage.

Factory inspectionInspection and export packing are planned after the cabinet package is confirmed.

XIYA POWER can align routine checks, packing method, shipping marks and destination documents with the final order scope.

01Routine Inspection

Visual assembly, wiring marks, nameplate data and basic mechanical condition are checked before packing.

02Operation And Interlock

Breaker truck movement, switch operation, earthing position and door interlock logic are checked where applicable.

03Dielectric And Insulation

Power-frequency withstand, insulation resistance or project-specified electrical checks can be arranged with the order scope.

04Export Packing Control

Cabinets are fixed for sea or land transport with moisture protection, shipping marks and destination document support.

RFQ Data for Switchgear Cabinet Quotation

Send the selected series, ratings, bay package and delivery context, or check certificates, test reports and RFQ forms when project files need review. XIYA POWER can then return a focused cabinet quotation instead of a generic model estimate.

Step 02 Electrical Ratings

Voltage class, rated current, short-circuit level, frequency and protection degree.

Step 03 Bay And Package

Single-line diagram, bay schedule, switching unit, CT/PT, relay and metering need.

Step 04 Delivery Context

Cable direction, room limit, quantity, destination standard, packing request and document language.

Which complete switchgear cabinet series fits a low-voltage distribution room?

Use low-voltage distribution cabinets when the project is on the transformer secondary side and needs MCC feeders, drawer units, fixed outgoing boards, compensation or metering inside a 380 V to 690 V LV room.

When should KYN28 switchgear be selected instead of an RMU?

Use KYN28 for indoor MV rooms that need withdrawable VCB feeder bays, relay chambers, metal-clad separation and higher short-circuit review. Use an RMU for compact cable rings, branch boxes and secondary distribution terminals.

How should GIS gas-insulated switchgear wording be handled?

Use the GIS entry for gas-insulated, SF6 sealed-tank, common-box or compact sealed cabinet inquiries. Confirm voltage class, module sequence, insulation medium, bay count and cable interface before separating it from RMU-style sealed units.

What is needed for a useful switchgear cabinet RFQ?

Send the selected cabinet series, single-line diagram, voltage class, rated current, short-circuit level, bay sequence, protection package, cable direction, quantity and destination standard.

Which drawings should be requested for complete switchgear cabinets?

Request outline dimensions, single-line diagram review, wiring drawings and room layout drawings after the cabinet series and bay schedule are confirmed.

What factory inspection items are usually checked before packing?

Typical checks include visual assembly, nameplate data, wiring marks, mechanical operation, breaker or switch movement, earthing position, interlock logic and electrical tests required by the order scope.

How are switchgear cabinets packed for export shipping?

Export packing should fix the cabinet body, protect door panels and meters, add moisture protection, mark cabinet numbers and shipping marks, and match the packing method to sea, land or container transport.
