MMS is a metal-enclosed, double busbar, air-insulated switchgear system with vacuum interrupters and can be used in applications up to 24 kV. The use of modular circuit-breaker and bus-coupler panels ensures maximum flexibility, while the double busbar installation provides continuous electrical energy supply. This makes MMS ideal for energy distribution applications via main stations in heavy industry, where uptime and uninterrupted power supply are critical.

The expected lifetime of switchgear is between 30 and 40 years, depending on the environment and the operation of the plant. The maintenance costs therefore represent an important factor in the calculation of the overall costs of the switchgear.
MMS excels with its "fit and forget" approach, which means that all primary parts are maintenance-free for life. Likewise, the disconnector and circuit-breaker mechanisms do not need maintenance during the first decade. Since the mechanisms are easily accessible through the secondary compartment, the required maintenance time and costs are reduced to a minimum.
An MMS double busbar installation offers more than just optimal availability. Compared with single busbar and duplex medium-voltage switchgear systems, it is also the best investment choice:
“Our customers highly value the reliability and safety of our MMS medium-voltage double busbar system. This is a high-end system offering fully remote operation and control for the electrical grid. MMS maximises power uptime by offering changeover between busbars without interruption and the unique feature of switchgear extension under live service condition.”
An MMS system is easy to automate. This system is ideally suited to an automated environment, and there is obviously a preference for international standards such as the open control and communication protocol in accordance with IEC 60870.
MMS can always be integrated into an existing automated environment as well. As an independent partner, we will gladly advise you on any matter, whether it is the refurbishment or expansion of an existing sub-station. We are happy to submit a tender for your entire project.
The MMS system can be read out and operated without any problems using SCADA systems. MMS also offers great flexibility regarding the choice of protection-relay manufacturer. Your preferred equipment can be integrated without any difficulty. The system is also suitable for both serial fieldbus systems and conventional wiring methods.
