BIOSCO

OVERVIEW
Asefa will keep on improving in every aspect
to benefit both customers and their organizations.
Besides local R&D, we're also recruiting newer and
higher technology from different sources to develop
our products and systems.
Asefa started the first technology transfer by being licensed to manufacture
Schneider's Type-Test Switchboard, and then NEX Type-Test HV/MV metal-clad
Switchgear, and now:
BIOSCO MV/LV Prefabricated Substation.

BIOSCO: Licensed Product Design

Conformity with standards
BIOSCO has been tested in accordance to IEC publication :
62271-202 (former 61330) and 60694 for prefabricated HV / LV substation.

Certification

The type certificate of conformity guarantees that the product has been
subjected to type testing according to standardized procedures (ISO / IEC 17025)
in approved laboratories by independent organizations and is in conformity with
recognized international standards.
For BIOSCO, certification has been carried out by L2E approved external
organization, members of the STL (Short-circuit Testing Liaison).

Substation Range upto 24 kV

The Schnieder-Asefa MV/LV prefabricated substation is
part of a comprehensive offer of products with consistent
design.
The Unit Substation is a co-branded product offer covering
the best of products from Schneider Electric & Asefa.
BIOSCO design comes from Schneider Electric, France.
All LV & MV electrical distribution products come from
Schneider Electric, Thailand. The transformer and LV panels
& housing are products from Asefa.
All these products have been designed to operate together
to ensure electrical, mechanical and communication
compatibility.
Synergy of Schneider-Asefa is optimized and more efficient:
better continuity of supply, enhanced safety for people and
equipment, guaranteed upgradeability, effective monitoring
and control.
Combined with your know-how and creativity, Guiding
System ensures optimum installations that are dependable,
