2/20

GenieEvo uses vacuum circuit breaker

technology which offers a more flexible solution

through its design, allowing a wider range

of applications to be satisfied.

For example, vacuum-based circuit breakers are

certified to 10,000 operations, making them superbfor applications that generate frequent load current

switching, such as motor starting. Now, even these

difficult applications can benefit from the advantages

of GenieEvo.

Utilities, process industries, petrochemical plants,

chemical engineering companies and a whole range

of other industries now have the widest choice of

indoor MV switchgear from a single manufacturer.

GenieEvo rapid delivery with greater choice

When the Merlin Gerin Genie range was first launched, it

transform ed how m edium voltage sw itchgear was s pecified, ordered

and delivered. Using a m odular design and standard com ponents,

Genie halved typ ical product lead tim es of traditional MV

switchgear, which is custom -built for every order.

Now, this rapid delivery has been halved yet again.Whats m ore, this

staggeringly fast delivery tim e and the m any ot her b enefits of the

GenieEvo design are now availab le for m ore applications.

Less tim e

During development of GenieEvo the opportunity

was taken to streamline the manufacturing process.

Now, components can be made simultaneously on

parallel production lines, which halves conventional

delivery times. Fast delivery is vital for fast-track

projects and for sites where installed switchgear has

failed and a replacement is needed quickly.

More Options

GenieEvo offers a wide range of off-the-shelf

protection and control modules.

From a list of 6 switchgear options and 18 protection

and control modules, a total of 67 panel combinations

can be achieved. There is virtually no application that

cannot be met.

Low er Maintena nce

GenieEvo was the first vacuum MV switchgear

with virtually maintenance-free operation. Unlike

conventional vacuum switchgear, the isolators in

GenieEvo are sealed in an earth screened cast resin

enclosure containing controlled air, which eliminates

the need for regular cleaning of the copper contacts

throughout the products entire life.

Keyless interlocking of the switchgears doors is also

an industry first for GenieEvo. Eliminating the need

for a separate cable test key or device to open the

test access doors removes the risk of the key being

lost, thereby causing operational delays

Greater s afety

GenieEvo complies with the requirements of the

Energy Network Associations latestTechnical

Specification (ENA TS). Imposing the most stringent

safety demands yet, this document requires all

medium voltage components such as cable boxes

and current and voltage transformer compartments to

meet the switchgears internal arc rating.

GenieEvo complies fully.

Low ering costs

With Evolis, no preventative maintenance such as lubrication or calibration is

required before 10,000 switching cycles have been reached. The quick to check

switching operation counter shows the total number of cycles that have been

performed. Whats more, monitoring the state of the breaker is simplified by a

system that compensates for contact wear.

Evolis circuit breakers use the same mechanism as the Merlin Gerin

MasterPact NW range of low voltage circuit breakers, allowing Evolis to benefit

from the quality established through manufacturing over 100,000 mechanisms

per annum.

Raising s afety

Of course, safety is a key requirement for any circuit breaker. Evolis provides high

levels of operator safety when protecting all types of application. Incorporating

Evolis, GenieEvo is fully internal arc rated to 100% of the switchgears breaking

capacity to ENA TS 41-36.

Projection ratings

The Evolis range offers a choice of ratings and breaking capacities.

GenieEvo complete switchroom delivered to site

Specifiers, contractors, consultants, end-users and

everyone else involved in specifying and installing

electrical sw itchgear sys tem s face increasing

pressure to com plete projects ever faster.Whether

new build or refurbishm ent projects, gettingequipm ent up and running in the shortest possible

tim e is vital.

To m eet this dem and, GenieEvo can b e

incorporated into a Com pact intelligent

Distr ibution Subs tat ion (CiDS). CiDS is a

com plete factory-b uilt m edium voltage

substation housed in a single enclosure

that is suprem ely fast and sim ple to install.

Cuts tim e, cuts costs

A CiDS package is simply placed onto prepared

foundations, connected to the electrical network and

commissioned. It takes days, not months, cutting the

time spent on site by up to 80%.

Reduces procurem ent costs

One order to a single supplier and one shipment of all

components is all it takes.

Sim ple com m isioning saves tim e

Every CiDS is factory tested and pre-commissioned

before delivery so that only basic commissioning and

network connections are needed on site.


11/20

Fast delivery

Assembled from standard components means a CiDS

solution can be delivered with very short lead times.

Reduces delivery costs and hassle

Not only is just one delivery needed, but each CiDS

is so compact that it can be transported on a

conventional haulage vehicle.

Saves costly site space

CiDS has a far smaller footprint than a conventional

brick built substation.

Less down tim e during

refurbis hm ent

CiDS can often be installed alongside the old

substation that it is replacing. The sites supply can be

rapidly transferred from the existing to the new

substation, minimising downtime.

Elim inates the risk of

incom patible com ponents

CiDS is designed, manufactured and tested at one site

for total reliability.

Depending on its configuration, each CiDS is fitted

with equipment from the four major brands in

Schneider Electrics portfolio: Merlin Gerin, Modicon,

Square D and Telemecanique, each a market leader in

its own sector. With this strong pedigree behind it,

every CiDS solution provides the quality you would

expect from Schneider Electric.
