1 Outdoor Padmount Switching Products Live-front & Dead-front 15 & 25 kv Switchgear, Fused Sectionalizing Enclosures, Metering and Capacitor Enclosures Rugged Outdoor Construction Safety and Security Features Long-Life Polymax Coating High Performance VersaRupter Switch

2 Outdoor Padmount Switching Products ABB s Padmount Switching Products represent over 30 years of quality design and manufacturing. The line includes live-front and dead-front loadbreak switches and fuses in multiple confi gurations in ratings up to 25 kv. With our quality construction and easy installation, we have earned our market position with reliable, easy to implement protection and control for underground electrical distribution networks. Our Padmount Switching Products incorporate the VersaRupter load interrupter switch. The Versa- Rupter uses an innovative puffer and nozzle system to quickly and effi ciently extinguish the arc of fullload interruptions, resulting in a compact, highperformance switch. Live-front switchgear 600 A, 15 and 25 kv (MES) Dead-front switchgear 600 A, 15 and 25 kv (MDS) Fused sectionalizing enclosures (ME series) for power fusing (MEP) and current limit fusing (MEC) 200 A, 15 and 25 kv Capacitor banks and metering enclosures Accessories The complete product line, which includes padmount switch enclosures and auxiliary products, such as metering stations and capacitor banks, are designed and built to meet rigorous utility industry specifi cations for years of reliable operation in harsh outdoor environments. Polymax premium coating and rugged construction meet or exceed ANSI Standard C for padmounted equipment enclosure integrity. 2 ABB

3 MES Live-front Switchgear 600 Ampere Load Switching 15 & 25 kv 40,000 Ampere Asymmetrical Momentary 40,000 Ampere Asymmetrical Fault Closing Enclosure footprint, termination height and switch/fuse configuration per industry standards Top-mounted horizontally spaced connecting bus contributes to ease of inspection and maintenance, prevents phase to phase dripping, and reduces potential for fl ashover Full height electrical grade (GPO-3) glass reinforced polyester phase separation barriers are easily removable without tools for easy installation and maintenance Industry leading phase spacing for improved access and safety Frame mounted switch and fuse for positive blade alignment Storage provisions for fuse holders/fuse end fi tting assemblies in fuse compartments Viewing windows in component compartment for easy verification of switch position Heavy-duty channelized steel construction with three-point door latching and security features Flexible modular design with an extensive selection of available options ABB 3

4 MDS Dead-front Switchgear 600 Ampere Load Switching 15 & 25 kv 40,000 Ampere Asymmetrical Momentary 40,000 Ampere Asymmetrical Fault Closing Switches and fuses are enclosed in a metal compartment for personnel safety and to prevent entrance of foliage and contaminants Enclosure footprint, termination height and switch/fuse configuration per industry standards Fuse access doors positively latched in the closed position and mechanically interlocked with 200 A elbows to prevent access until elbows are disconnected Fuses accessible only when fuse access doors have been disconnected and pivoted to the open service position Switch position visible through component compartment s viewing windows Switch terminals equipped with 600 A bushings and fuse terminals equipped with 200 A bushing wells in accordance with ANSI standards Flexible, modular design promotes life cycle support, fi eld upgrades and repairs 4 ABB
