Siemens Energy has developed the new gas-insulated medium-voltage switchgear NX Plus C Wind.
The gas-insulated switchgear deployed by Siemens to date for wind turbines operated at a voltage of 24 kilovolts (kV). The new NX Plus C Wind switchgear operates at a voltage of 36 kV. It is also of a more compact design than the previously built 36-kV Siemens switchgear and can be readily accommodated in the tower of a wind turbine. The equipment units are manufactured at Siemens switchgear production plant in Frankfurt-Fechenheim.
