Features

The PIX High is a high rated vacuum circuit breaker that can be used in a wide range of applications including heavy industry, power stations and Oil & Gas processes.

• Ratings up to 17.5 kV / 4000 A / 50 kA
• Enhanced internal Arc fault protection tested for 1 second.
• Designed and tested to the latest IEC 62271-200.

Benefits

• Flexible installation: back to wall, front access.
• Direct ‘line up’ with Slimline PIX MCC (up to 7.2 kV)
• Rear cable connection options.
• Fused VT options

Operator and equipment protection

• Protection against internal arc according to the latest IAC test AFLR, 50 kA, 1s
• Quick arc flash detection with our sensors to limit the impact of an internal arc
• Remote operation with motorized switchgear and digital control
• Thermal monitoring with our TH110 sensors and environmental monitoring with our CL110 sensors, for realtime online information about health status, available 24/7

Reliable power supply

• PIX is compliant with IEC standards for metal enclosed switchgear and tested according to IEC 62217-200
• It is designed for extended use under harsh environment thanks to a vacuum circuit breaker embedded pole and SE-high quality approach
• User-friendly and ergonomic operator interface to avoid any misuse
• Vacuum technology for minimal maintenance

Flexible & Easy to use

 Efficient tools helping you to save time at every step, from design and deployment to operations:

• - QR-code to provide all product information
• - Cyber secure – compliant with the latest standards
• - Environmental sensors for online health status

• Front and rear cable access for flexible installations
• Green premium product to minimize environmental impact

Operator protection

• Protection against unintended where all switchgear components are in a complete metal enclosure
• PIX has been type tested for the Internal Arc Classification in accordance with IEC/EN 62271-200, achieving an AFL or AFLR protection
• Different solutions for gas exhaust are available: outside the switchgear room with tunnel, inside the switchgear room with tunnel and gas absorber
• All operations are carried out from the front with the door closed which enables the operator to see the status of the switchgear without exposure
• Mechanical and electrical interlocks have been designed to guide the operator and improve operations. These can be reinforced using key-operated locks or padlocks
• Voltage Presence Indicators (VPIS) are present on the front door of each functional unit: checking the presence of energy of multiple cubicles can be completed in the blink of an eye! Checking voltage has to be done before operating the earth switch
• The operator can operate the switchgear remotely

Enable nearby control, ensure safety and uptime
All the Schneider Electric protection, metering and control devices can be connected to our Substation monitoring device.
The Human-Machine Interface (HMI) can be installed anywhere within the substation to allow local control and monitoring, independent of any external systems.
The monitoring information and control functions can be scaled to the needs of each customer.
Optionally, the Magelis control and monitoring functions can be mirrored on a tablet through Wifi connection thanks to our Vijeo Design Air application. The technician can operate the switchgear remotely, while maintaining visual contact with it

Power distribution is changing
The world is getting smarter. Every day, it is becoming more decentralized, decarbonized, and digitized. And as your products become more connected, so do you.
With these innovations come increased demand, new regulations, and an opportunity to improve your existing infrastructure.
That's why it's more important than ever to install equipment, software, and services that will keep everything running smoothly in the present, and prepared for the future.
