Improve peace of mind with
smart grid-ready Premset MV switchgear
Amid rising energy demand, tightening regulations, and increased pressure to perform,
the utilities’ mission remains the same: To provide reliable, quality electricity to its end
users in the most efficient, cost-effective way possible.
This task is made more challenging not only by the severe environments in which
some networks operate, but also by heightened customer expectations. Now, the
smart grid is not just the future: It’s quickly becoming the current standard.
Reliable, efficient switchgear for utilities
PremsetTM is the ideal medium voltage switchgear for utilities looking to improve
availability and safety, while still remaining flexible and modular. It features smart-grid
functionality and a distributed architecture for easy installation, operation,
and scalability, and helps increase efficiency through the use of digital technology.
Additionally, the intelligent electronic devices used in the Premset system have
been designed to optimize substation performance and compactness, so a robust,
distributed architecture can be built in any environment. These are based on
a standard communications protocol, with a plug-and-play scanning system for
easy configuration.

Premset switchgear helps improve network availability
Premset smart grid-ready switchgear is simple to use, installs easily, and has
a flexible, modular architecture. This design makes even last-minute modifications
possible, so the unit can adapt to your changing needs while offering improved
transformer protection.
Cost as well as performance are also optimized since our scalable, modular
solutions — from local control up to complex feeder automation — let you choose
only what you need.
Enhancing network performance with integrated technology
With advanced monitoring, control, and smart-grid functionality, Premset switchgear
helps ensure your network is at its peak performance level, featuring:
• Feeder automation, with switchgear including built-in communication
and local intelligence
• Load management, with integrated smart metering
• Asset management, with advanced switchgear and transformer monitoring
• VIP self-powered protection and communication for higher MV network availability
Premset architecture also uses a superior circuit breaker, providing improved MV/LV
transformer protection. And, with integrated web technologies, access to information
on the electrical installation is as easy as opening a web page.
Reducing costs with a complete MV switchgear solution
Extended life, reduced footprint, optimized maintenance — all this adds up to
a switchgear with a lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
Because of its innovative and 3-in-1 integrated design, Premset architecture has a
light end-of-life treatment, and its easy, intuitive operation helps ensure the safety of
both people and assets.
