More Than 90 Years
90 of Interrupter
Experience
GE pioneered experimental vacuum
interrupters in the 1920s. Refined it and
introduced the world's first 15kV Vacuum
circuit breaker in the 1960s. To date, this
interrupter design has been the world
leader in vacuum technology and has
accumulated over 55 years of reliable field
service.
Universal
A Applications
SecoGear is designed, assembled and tested
to meet or exceed applicable IEC, GB and
DL standards. It is suitable for applications
in all major industries including T&D, Oil
& Gas, Automotive, Processing plants,
World Class Quality Iron and Steel mills, Mining, Commercial
buildings, etc.
Manufactured, assembled and tested It provides protection for all types of
all in the same sophisticated facility, applications: coble, overhead lines, motors,
SecoVac is the product of state of the art capacitors, transformers, busbar sections,
manufacturing processes assured by ISO etc.
9001:2008 and ISO 14001 certification.
Precision tooled parts, computer aided
design and advanced production
techniques, as well as the protection of
the 'E Coat' (cathodic electrocoating) paint
process have resulted in a standard of
excellence unmatched in the industry.
Environment
Consciousness
eco Selecting low environmental impact
technologies has become increasingly
important to engineers tasked with
choosing equipment for an application.
With commitment to environment
protection, the solid insulation of epoxy

Installation Guide
In order to obtain an optimum installation sequence and ensure
high quality standards, site installation of the switchgear should
only be carried out by specially trained personnel, or supervised
and monitored by qualified personnel, or by personnel supervised
and monitored by responsible persons.
On commencement of installation on site, the switch-room
must be fundamentally finished, provided with lighting and the
electricity supply, lockable, dry and with facilities for ventilation,
It is also required that the basic frame and indoor ground
of substation should be checked and accepted before the
construction, It must be ensure that the ceiling height is sufficient
for the opening travel of the pressure relief plates and clearance
for exhaust.
Tolerances for laying the floor frame are:
Evenness tolerance: 1mm within a measuring length of 1m,
Straightness tolerance: 1mm per 1m, but not more than 3mm
over entire length of frame.
