Full voltage range

Five cabinet types - KYN61-40.5, KYN□-24, KYN28A-12, KYN550-12 and YF-KYN450-12 - cover 3.6-40.5 kV and 630-4000 A, so incoming, feeder and bus-tie cabinets across different voltage classes on one project come from a single ETENZ line-up.

Product Details

KYN designations carry the selection logic in the code itself: metal-clad construction, withdrawable pattern, indoor use, design series and rated voltage, read position by position. Once the system voltage and rated current are known, the code narrows the family to the cabinet types worth quoting, and the comparison table below separates them on short-circuit level and footprint.

Model code breakdown

Model code breakdown

Four separated compartments carry the breaker truck, the busbar, the cables and the relay and instrument equipment, with a pressure relief duct across the top. The breaker sits on a truck that withdraws as a unit, so maintenance on one circuit does not open the busbar compartment, and a fault stays inside the compartment where it starts.

A feeder cabinet runs from the busbar through the truck contacts, the circuit breaker, the lower contacts and the current transformer to the cable termination, with an earthing switch on the cable side. Incoming, bus-tie, sectionalising, metering and station-service cabinets reuse the same components in different arrangements, which is what makes a mixed line-up buildable from one family.

Top and bottom entry are both available, and the two can be mixed across a line-up; the busbar bridge over the cabinet tops carries the inter-panel connection. Entry direction follows the cabinet type, the cable termination form and the site routing, and ETENZ fixes the interface positions and reserved clearances on the project drawings before manufacture starts.

Protection relays, metering, instrument transformers and auxiliary supplies are wired to a terminal strip, and that strip is the delivery boundary: everything on the cabinet side arrives installed and circuit-checked, everything beyond it belongs to the upstream monitoring and station control system. Naming the boundary on the drawings is what keeps commissioning responsibility unambiguous.

KYN series - key parameters by cabinet type

Values are listed per cabinet type as series-configurable ranges; the actual combination follows the project main connection arrangement, short-circuit level and cabinet footprint. Cells marked Project-confirmed are given once the selection is settled.

Product FAQs

Start with system voltage: 40.5 kV means KYN61-40.5, 24 kV means KYN□-24, and 12 kV and below leaves KYN28A-12, KYN550-12 and YF-KYN450-12. Rated current and short-circuit level narrow it from there - a 4000 A main busbar points to KYN550-12, a 50 kA short-time withstand points to KYN28A-12. Where switchroom space is tight, KYN550-12 starts at 550 mm wide. Send the single-line diagram and the line-up can be confirmed to specific cabinet types.

Three things get a preliminary scheme out: the single-line diagram, system voltage and rated current, and the short-circuit capacity. For a quotation firm enough to contract against, add the circuit schedule and main connection arrangement, component brand preferences, protection and metering requirements, control supply and communication interfaces, installation environment, and the standards and document list for the target market.

Yes. The component platform is agreed in the technical agreement during project confirmation, and final types, ratings, lead time and document scope follow the confirmed component schedule. The point to check alongside it is the mounting interface - swapping breaker brands within the same cabinet type does not guarantee the same truck dimensions or secondary plug.

Top-in/top-out, bottom-in/bottom-out and mixed arrangements are all buildable. Direction follows the cabinet type, the cable termination form and the site cable routing, while inter-panel connection runs through the busbar bridge over the cabinet tops. Interface positions and reserved clearances are marked on the project drawings.

Yes, and this is where most ETENZ switchgear work sits. The switchgear is supplied as equipment; the MV switchgear E-House is supplied as a complete unit covering the enclosure, equipment layout, auxiliary systems and interface integration. When both sit in one project the delivery boundary between them is drawn once at contract stage.

Standard documentation travelling with the cabinets covers project approval drawings, component schedules, wiring documents and packing lists. Inspection records are issued to the scope agreed in the technical agreement; where witness testing or a specific report format is needed, raising it during quotation and technical clarification allows the test and witness dates to be scheduled.

A report only covers the configuration actually tested. Model, ratings, standard edition, manufacturing entity, place of manufacture and target market all have to line up - any one of them off and the report does not apply to your cabinet. Send the project requirements and the applicable documents can be selected; a company management-system certificate is not a substitute for product electrical performance evidence.

Both are 12 kV metal-clad withdrawable types. KYN28A-12 is the broader established family and takes a 16-50 kA short-time withstand, which suits ordinary incoming, feeder and bus-tie line-ups. KYN550-12 reaches 4000 A on the main busbar at 550-1000 mm cabinet width, which suits switchrooms where floor space is tight but main busbar current is high. Short-circuit level, cabinet footprint and the main connection arrangement decide it.
