2 [ MV Air-insulated Switchgear Range ] PIX 2 Characterised by intrinsic safety features combined with the highest levels of service continuity Standards PIX is fully type-tested switchgear compliant with the latest IEC standard. PIX is defined as follows: Partition Metallic (PM): it is provided with metallic shutters and partitions between adjacent compartments. Loss of Service Continuity (LSC) 2B: service of the main busbar and of the cable compartment are ensured when normal maintenance operations are carried out in one of the compartments of the main circuit (e.g. circuit-breaker compartment). PIX meets the highest levels of service continuity. Internal Arc Classified (IAC) A FL(R): it is accessible from the front, side and rear with a 1 second rating in all compartments. Safety The PIX range has been specially designed to maximize operator safety and service continuity. All operations are carried out from the front of the equipment with compartment doors closed. A comprehensive range of interrogative mechanical interlocks prevent operational errors and are designed to prevent operating levers being inserted, unless it is safe to do so. Easy Access to all Compartments In addition, PIX's design meets or exceeds most national specifications. Please contact us for more details. A Reference in High Specification Applications with high specifications. For example in Oil, Gas and Petrochemical (onshore and floating installation) applications, PIX is on Shell's approved supplier list, as well as on the lists of many other national and international oil companies. PIX is also included in Chevron's preferred supplier agreement.

3 [ MV Air-insulated Switchgear Range ] PIX 3 PIX Compact PIX Compact is the latest addition to our Medium Voltage family, mirroring all the construction characteristics of the standard version. This specific version has been optimized for the low ratings of the Primary Distribution range - up to 17.5 kv / 31.5 ka / 2,500 A. PIX Compact can be equipped with vacuum circuit-breaker and contactors. Integrating many of the proven components from the PIX range, it has all the intrinsic features of the standard version: high reliability and quality. All operations can be carried out directly from the front of the unit, as on all PIX cubicles. Compact dimensions start with a 600 mm wide cubicle for ratings up to 1,250 A. Rated currents of 2,500 A are achieved in a 800 mm width cubicle, for both voltage levels i.e. 12 kv and 17.5 kv. This is a truly compact and cost effective solution for all your low rating applications. High Safety Levels Fully tested to all the latest IEC standards Highest levels of Internal Arc Classification Rigid cubicle construction and 'rising' door/cover design. Choice of 'arc ducts' or 'arc deflectors' Intuitive interlocking and clearly visible indicators * 1,750 mm (extended depth) for specific options as 2 cable CTs and/or Busbar CT
