Product Advantages

KYN61-40.5 AC Metal-Enclosed Switchgear 40.5kV High Voltage Rating: Adapted for 35kV Power Grids. With a rated voltage reaching 40.5kV, this equipment is perfectly tailored for domestic 35kV power grids. Compared to standard 24kV central-cabinet switchgear, it is capable of withstanding higher voltages, thereby fully meeting the power distribution requirements of 35kV networks.

Larger Cabinet, Enhanced Insulation Protection: The enlarged cabinet structure—combined with insulation safeguards specifically designed for 35kV systems—enables the equipment to safely handle high 35kV voltages. The increased insulation clearance effectively prevents high-voltage breakdown, ensuring the stable and reliable operation of the high-voltage system.

IP5X Ultra-High Protection: The enclosure boasts an IP5X protection rating—superior to that of standard 24kV central-cabinet switchgear. This rating ensures effective resistance against dust and moisture ingress, allowing the equipment to operate stably and reliably even in environments characterized by high humidity or heavy dust, thereby safeguarding the internal high-voltage components.

"Five-Prevention" Interlocking: Ultimate Safety. Featuring a dedicated "Five-Prevention" interlocking system, this equipment completely eliminates the risk of operational errors. It prevents the accidental opening or closing of circuit breakers; prohibits the operation of disconnectors under load; prevents the application of ground wires to live circuits; prohibits the closing of circuit breakers while ground wires are connected; and prevents accidental entry into live compartments. This ultimate level of safety protection ensures the operational safety of 35kV high-voltage systems.

Project Overview

This project involves the construction of a new 35kV substation for a municipal solid waste incineration power plant. Classified as a Tier-1 load power supply project, it is responsible for the harmless treatment of urban solid waste and grid-connected power generation using waste heat. The project is equipped with two 35kV main transformers. The plant utilizes a 35kV high-voltage distribution system to power critical, heavy-duty equipment—such as boilers, steam turbine generators, induced draft fans, and feedwater pumps—and facilitates the transmission of surplus power to the grid.

Due to the high voltage level (35kV), high short-circuit currents, and significant surge loads during equipment startup and shutdown, the system demands exceptionally high standards for insulation, breaking capacity, and safety protection. The high-voltage distribution room exclusively employs KYN61-40.5 indoor metal-clad, withdrawable high-voltage switchgear. These units serve as the core distribution equipment for incoming and outgoing lines, potential transformers (PT), bus-tie connections, grid interconnection, and main transformer protection.

Project Challenges and Equipment Selection Rationale

Voltage Level Incompatibility: Standard 10kV/20kV switchgear lacks the necessary voltage withstand rating to meet 35kV system requirements for insulation and overvoltage tolerance; thus, their use is strictly prohibited.

High System Short-Circuit Current: Grid-connected power plants experience high short-circuit surge currents. Standard switchgear cabinets lack sufficient breaking capacity, posing risks of explosion or dielectric breakdown.

Harsh and Complex Operating Conditions: Power plant equipment operates continuously (24/7) with significant load fluctuations and frequent startup/shutdown cycles, placing extreme demands on both mechanical and electrical durability.

Strict Power Reliability Requirements: As a facility vital to public welfare, the incineration plant cannot tolerate unscheduled outages or fault propagation; it requires rapid maintenance and fault isolation capabilities.

High Safety Standards for O&M: The 35kV high-voltage system entails significant risks, necessitating comprehensive "Five-Prevention" interlocking mechanisms, independent pressure relief systems, and fully compartmentalized protective structures.

Equipment Configuration Plan

In accordance with 35kV substation design standards and the plant's heavy-duty operating conditions, the facility is uniformly equipped with KYN61-40.5 metal-clad, withdrawable switchgear. The configuration includes 35kV vacuum circuit breakers, intelligent integrated protection devices, independent pressure relief channels, and forced ventilation/dehumidification systems, ensuring compliance with the rigorous operational standards required for grid-connected power generation.
