Why 8BT2?

The 8BT2 is a metal-enclosed, factory-assembled medium-voltage switchgear that provides a robust, reliable solution for indoor applications up to 36 kV.

Used in transformer and switching substations for primary power distribution, the 8BT2 helps solve operational safety and environmental challenges by using air as an insulating medium. It also uses vacuum technology, ensuring continuous service and protecting personnel. Further enhance personnel safety with 8BT2's internal arc classification (IAC A FLR).

The 8BT2 reduces operational costs and increases system uptime through maintenance-free switching devices and maintenance intervals exceeding 10 years.
