Product Overview
The XGN series of box-type fixed AC metal-enclosed switchgear is designed for 3.6 kV to 40.5 kV (including 11 kV class), three-phase AC 50 Hz power systems, used for receiving, distributing, controlling, protecting and monitoring electrical energy. The entire series employs a fixed structure with vacuum circuit breakers or load-break switch–fuse combinations as the core switching elements. The XGN15 model serves as a dedicated 11 kV Ring Main Unit (RMU), featuring four-compartment metal separation and IP3X protection, ideal for urban ring-network distribution, dual-source interconnection and fault isolation. Product performance complies with IEC 62271-200 (formerly IEC 298), GB 3906, and DL/T 404.

FAQ
Q: How to choose among the four XGN series models?
A: Choose based on core requirements:
• High capacity / double-busbar / bypass: XGN2-12 (only model supporting these, up to 4000A/40kA).
• Ring-network / four-compartment / smart grid: XGN15-12 (IP3X, spring/permanent magnetic dual mechanisms).
• 35kV class / package substation / LBS scheme: XGN17 (only model covering 40.5kV).
• Space-constrained / frequent operation / oil-switch retrofit: XGN66A-12 (most compact, 40% smaller than XGN2).
Q: What is the difference between XGN series and KYN28 (withdrawable type)?
A: The main difference is the structural form:
• XGN is fixed type: CB is permanently installed, no secondary plug, protection circuits always connected, 15%–35% lower cost.
• KYN28 is withdrawable (truck) type: CB can be rolled out for easy maintenance/replacement, but carries risk of poor secondary plug contact, higher cost.
Choose XGN for high reliability requirements, limited budgets, and retrofit projects; choose KYN28 for new projects requiring CB interchangeability.
Q: Which standards does the XGN series comply with?
A: The entire series uniformly complies with:
• IEC 62271-200 (formerly IEC 298): AC metal-enclosed switchgear and control gear for rated voltages above 1kV and up to and including 52kV.
• GB 3906: AC metal-enclosed switchgear and control gear for rated voltages 3.6kV to 40.5kV.
• DL/T 404: Technical specifications for ordering indoor AC high-voltage switchgear.
