The ASHAN KYN61-40.5 Series is a high-performance, metal-clad switchgear designed for the control and protection of three-phase AC 50/60Hz power systems with rated voltages up to 40.5kV (commonly utilized for 33kV and 36kV grids).

This switchgear is engineered for the most demanding environments, serving as the primary grid-connection hub for large-scale Photovoltaic (PV) plants, wind farms, and heavy industrial substations. Featuring a center-mounted withdrawable vacuum circuit breaker (VCB), the KYN61 provides an uncompromising combination of high insulation reliability, operational safety, and maintenance efficiency.

• Advanced Withdrawable Design: The circuit breaker is mounted on a handcart with "Test" and "Operating" positions. This allow for rapid isolation and component replacement without de-energizing the main busbar.

• Superior 40.5kV Insulation: Designed with increased creepage distances and high-grade composite insulation (epoxy resin) to handle the electrical stresses of 33kV-40.5kV networks safely.

• "Five-Prevention" Safety Interlocks: Equipped with comprehensive mechanical and electrical interlocks to prevent operator errors, such as moving the breaker truck while the switch is closed.

• Arc-Proof Metal-Clad Enclosure: Built with high-precision CNC-machined Aluminum-Zinc (Al-Zn) coated steel plates. The cabinet is compartmentalized to localize any internal arc faults, protecting both personnel and adjacent equipment.

• Renewable Energy Optimized: Specifically configured to handle the fluctuations and grid-protection requirements of Solar PV and Wind Energy collection points.

1. Utility-Scale Solar Farms: Serving as the main AC collection and grid-entry switchgear for high-capacity PV arrays.

2. Wind Power Substations: Rugged power distribution for offshore and onshore wind turbine collection networks.

3. Industrial Substations: Main power feed for steel mills, petrochemical plants, and large-scale mining operations.

4. Regional Power Grids: Reliable secondary distribution for 33kV metropolitan and rural utility networks.

• Turnkey Customization: We provide full engineering support to integrate your preferred Vacuum Circuit Breaker (VCB) brands, including ABB VD4, Schneider HVX, or our proprietary VS1 series.

• Smart Grid Ready: Cabinets can be equipped with advanced digital protection relays, fiber-optic communication, and real-time temperature monitoring for SCADA system integration.

• Corrosion Resistance: The use of Al-Zn coated steel provides superior self-healing properties and 20+ years of rust protection in high-humidity or coastal environments.

• Rigorous Type Testing: Our units have passed comprehensive type tests for temperature rise, short-circuit withstand, and internal arc-flash safety according to IEC 62271-200 standards.

Q: Can this unit be used for 36kV networks?

A: Yes. The KYN61-40.5 is designed on a 40.5kV platform, making it perfectly suited and highly safe for 33kV, 35kV, and 36kV applications with a significant insulation margin.

Q: Does it include the primary and secondary protection relays?

A: We offer both "empty" cabinets for local assembly and "fully populated" units wired with high-end protection relays (SEL, Siemens, or ABB) based on your project's specific protection logic.

Q: What is the maintenance requirement for the VCB?

A: The vacuum circuit breakers used in our KYN61 cabinets are designed for 10,000+ mechanical operations and are virtually maintenance-free, only requiring periodic inspection and lubrication of the truck mechanism.
