Challenge
The customer in Vietnam operated an indoor high-voltage switchgear with a generator that had been in service for only two years. Despite this relatively short period of operation, the equipment was already in very poor technical condition and contained components from suppliers that the customer could no longer accept for political and strategic reasons. The existing solution posed a risk to safe and stable operation and did not meet the requirements for long-term reliability.
Our Solution
IVEP designed and delivered a complete replacement of the switchgear — an indoor medium-voltage switchgear with a GSI-type generator, fully tailored to the customer’s requirements and local operating conditions.
Technical Specifications
- Rated voltage: 25 kV
- Rated current: 14,000 A
- Short-circuit withstand: 200 kA / 1 s
Emphasis was placed on high mechanical and electrical robustness, long service life, and the use of proven components free from geopolitical risks, as required by the customer.
Result
- Complete replacement of the problematic cabinet with a modern and robust solution.
- Significant improvement in operational safety and overall system reliability.
- Elimination of unsuitable suppliers and reduction of political and operational risks.
- The customer obtained a solution that meets technical, strategic, and long-term operational requirements.
