Medium-voltage switchgear

Power Xpert XGIS compact arc-resistant medium-voltage switchgear

Eaton’s Power Xpert XGIS switchgear is constructed with the majority of the medium-voltage parts fixed-mounted and contained in a laser-welded stainless steel tank suitable for withstanding harsh, corrosive environments. Power Xpert XGIS medium-voltage switchgear delivers an option that is small in size and big in value, with high reliability and enhanced safety to support industrial, oil and gas, data center, utility, mining and infrastructure segments. The enhanced safety, small footprint and virtually maintenance-free design of Eaton’s GIS helps to lower ownership cost and optimize return on investment (ROI).

    Take a tour of the Power Xpert XGIS switchgear

    Designed for enhanced safety

    The Power Xpert XGIS gas insulated switchgear’s robust construction and decreased potential for arc faults have been validated through internal arc testing in all medium-voltage areas including cable, breaker, switch and main bus compartments .

    Small footprint

    For many applications, electrical room space is at a premium. The compact design of the Power Xpert XGIS mv switchgear fits into tighter spaces and is suitable for retrofitting into existing locations.

    Virtually maintenance-free

    The breaker, isolating switch and optional ports to connect VTs are contained within a single, SF6-filled, laser welded tank for a high-quality seal with no on-site gas filling required. With an expected lifespan of up to 40 years, the Power Xpert XGIS medium-voltage switchgear offers an impressive long-term value with a low total cost of ownership.
