Building a smarter future with reliable, efficient energy

Premset™ architecture: Innovation to meet your needs

A global player with local capabilitiesSchneider Electric has 160,000 people in more than 100 countries dedicated to delivering reliable products and solutions. It’s this global reach that helps us ensure high quality and local project and service capabilities, no matter your location. Combining technologies for breakthrough innovation Combining our expertise in both air-insulated switchgear and gas-insulated switchgear, we’re breaking new ground with the increased reliability of Shielded Solid Insulation System (2SIS). Network management making you smart grid-ready Add to this our familiarity with all aspects of medium-voltage (MV) network management and you have a partner who knows what the smart grid will mean for your business and how best to keep you at the forefront of technology. A new generation of switchgear technology A technological breakthrough, opening the way to improved efficiency and customer experience:
• Reduced opportunity of arc flash or contact with live parts: Insulation and screening of all live parts with 2SIS reduces the likelihood of exposure to electrical hazards.
• Longer time between maintenance intervals: 2SIS offers improved performance in harsh and demanding environments compared to traditional switchgear.
• Flexible, simple, modular and functional: Easy to install and easy to use, with operator friendly switchgear and minimum servicing of main units thanks to 2SIS.
• Smart grid ready, distributed intelligence: Advanced protection, control and monitoring, fully integrated for higher dependability
and energy efficiency.

Customer Experience

An intuitive 3-in-1 architecture for simple, intuitive operation

With its 3-in-1 switchgear design, the Premset system’s operational interface is simple, intuitive, and user friendly. The circuit breaker is in series with the isolating grounding switch, which, combined with interlocks, provides integrally designed protection for the operator.
There are also only three possible operating positions: closed, open, and grounded.

Simple and user-friendly operation                                                     
The Premset 3-in-1 system has proven itself to be more reliable and end-user friendly, providing:
• Grounding in a single operation
• Intuitive mimic diagram and operation
• Direct downstream cable grounding
• Positively driven built-in interlocks
• Easy front access to cable test injection points.

2SIS delivers reduced chance of arc flash event or contact with live parts

This three-position scheme provides an integrated cable test feature implemented by dedicated grounded rods, accessible from the front, without needing to enter the cable box or unmount cable terminations.

Intuitive operation reduces worker risk

With only two operations from line to ground — one to open and one to ground — the Premset range promotes lower risk to the operator by keeping all aspects as simple as possible. Additionally, standard built-in interlocking between the main and grounding functions is positively driven, which contributes to making every interaction with the unit easier and confident.

Efficiency

Smart grid and advanced digital managemen solutions across your network

The electricity market is changing. Every day, end-users’ expectations increase and suppliers worldwide gain a greater awareness of energy’s environmental impact. Meanwhile, overall consumption is steadily growing. But as this reliance on electricity grows globally, the ways in which we produce, distribute, and use energy must also evolve. The solution will involve not only smarter demand, but also smarter supply and a smarter grid.

Intelligent, smart grid-ready solutions

To meet these challenges, we need to enhance our electrical distribution networks with intelligent, smart grid-ready solutions that bring a new level of efficiency through advanced monitoring and control. This is precisely what Premset architecture is designed to do, enhancing your installation with such features as:
• Switchgear automation, with built-in communication and local intelligence
• Load management, with integrated smart metering
• Asset management, with advanced switchgear and transformer monitoring
• Automatic transfer system, with integrated source transfer solution to reduce power supply interruption

Architecture with distributed intelligence

The intelligent electronic devices used in Premset solutions allow easy integration based on a standard communications protocol with a plug-and-play scanning system for easy configuration. All this adds up to a flexible system with integrated Web technology, pre-engineered and pre-tested, which you can easily upgrade as necessary. With Premset architecture, you can easily build a
smarter MV distribution system.

Reliability

Long-lasting performance with the Shielded Solid Insulation System (2SIS)

In addition to its impressive ability to maintain optimal performance in any environment, the 2SIS is also the combination of robustness with a flexible and modular design, allowing its functional blocks to be used in any combination.

 

Extending protection to the entire switchgear

While insulation has previously been used, Premset switchgear is the first global product using solid
and shielded insulation. 2SIS insulation allows for several design benefits:
• Protection from environmental impact
• Negates electric fields in the switchgear
• Long maintenance intervals

Reduced internal arcing risk

The ground shielded system helps to extend the equipment service life, resulting a lower total cost of ownership.
And, with no part of the main circuit exposed to free air, you’ll also:
• Minimize risk of internal arcing
• Optimize maintenance operations
• Reduce risk of downtime
