■Introduction to the Structure
This switchgear consists of two main parts: the cabinet body and the handcart.
The cabinet body is assembled with bolts, and its outer shell and internal partitions are made of anti-corrosion steel plates. The cabinet body is composed of four different functional units: handcart compartment, busbar compartment, cable compartment, and low-voltage compartment. There are two types of cabinet structures: front-maintenance structure and double-side maintenance structure.
Withdrawable units can be classified by purpose as follows:
• Circuit breaker handcart
• Voltage transformer handcart
• Isolation handcart
• Metering handcart
• Fuse handcart, etc.

■Handcart Compartment
• Guide rails are installed in the handcart compartment to ensure the stable and reliable movement of the handcart inside the cabinet.
• Metal shutters automatically open and close as the handcart enters or exits. The upper and lower shutters can be opened separately, facilitating operation and maintenance while ensuring personal safety.
• The handcart can be operated when the handcart compartment door is closed. Through the inspection window, the position of the handcart, the closing/opening indication of the circuit breaker, and the energy storage status indication can be observed.
■Cable Compartment
• Usable for connecting:
Single-core cables: Up to 6 cables per phase
Three-core cables: Up to 3 cables per phase
• The cable connection height is above 650mm.
• Optional components:
Current transformer, Voltage transformer, Quick earthing switch, Arrester, Zero-sequence current transformer, Live display device

■Busbar Compartment
• Depending on the rated current, 1 to 3 copper bars are used for the main busbar.
• Adjacent busbar compartments are isolated by bushings and metal partitions, which can effectively prevent the spread of accidents.
• The main busbar and branch busbars are all covered with heat-shrinkable insulating sleeves.

■Low-Voltage Compartment
• Various secondary equipment can be installed in the low-voltage compartment and on its door panel according to different requirements.
• The control busbar is installed on the top plate of the low-voltage compartment and covered with a rotatable partition, facilitating on-site installation.
■Interlocking
The KYN28A-12 switchgear is equipped with a series of interlocking devices, which fundamentally prevent dangerous situations and operations that may cause serious consequences, thus effectively ensuring the safety of operating personnel and the switchgear itself. The following operations of the switchgear can only be performed when the relevant interlocking conditions are met; otherwise, the operation will be blocked.
• Moving the handcart from the test position to the working position:
The circuit breaker or contactor is in the "open" position
The earthing switch is in the "open" position
• Pulling the handcart back from the working position to the test position:
The circuit breaker or contactor is in the "open" position
• Operating the circuit breaker or contactor:
The handcart is locked in the test position or working position
• Operating the earthing switch:
The handcart is locked in the test position
The cable compartment door is closed
