Outdoor Box-Type Switchgear (Cable Branching Box)

Outdoor Box-Type Switchgear (Cable Branching Box)

The enclosure shell can be made from a variety of materials, offering sufficient mechanical strength. The color of the enclosure shell is coordinated with the surrounding environment. The slope of the box’s top cover shall be no less than 3 degrees, and a rainproof eave shall be installed. A louvered vent shall be provided at the inner top of the box to ensure natural ventilation. The bottom of the enclosure is effectively sealed to prevent small animals from entering the enclosure through the cable trench. The enclosure is equipped with a dedicated grounding conductor connected to the grounding grid. The enclosure houses UN3 series switchgear.

Product Features


The enclosure is welded from stainless steel, and all sheet-metal joints feature a waterproof sealing design, achieving an IP55 protection rating.
Optional fully insulated SF6 load switch solution, equipped with touchable shielded T-type cable accessories and surge arresters. Each ring network line can be fitted with a load switch, allowing any branch circuit to be freely disconnected or put into operation without affecting other ring network circuits.

Applicable Locations


UN3W-12, 24, and 40.5kV outdoor switchgear cabinets (cable tap boxes) are a new type of modular, multi-functional, highly reliable, compact, and maintenance-free switchgear cabinet (cable tap box). They are suitable for power supply lines with voltage levels of 40.5kV and below, and serve the functions of cable tapping, disconnection, control, and protection.

Operating Environment Conditions


Altitude: ≤5000m (When the operating altitude of the equipment exceeds 2000m, this must be specifically noted);
Ambient temperature: Maximum temperature +50℃, minimum temperature -50℃, average value within 24 hours ≤35℃;
Environmental humidity: Average relative humidity over 24 hours ≤ 95%; average monthly relative humidity ≤ 90%.
Electromagnetic interference: The amplitude of electromagnetic interference induced in the secondary system ≤ 1.6 kV;
Installation environment: The surrounding air contains neither explosive nor corrosive gases, and the installation location is free from frequent, severe vibrations or impacts.
Note: If the operating environment conditions exceed those specified above, please consult our company to discuss custom solutions.

Recycling and Reuse


Qian Gu Electric is committed to environmental protection. Its products have been certified under the 15014001 international environmental management system and strictly adhere to this standard.
Recycling and Disposal
The design and manufacture of UN3W switchgear (branch boxes) comply with the requirements of the national standard GB/T10840. At the end of the product’s lifecycle, they will be recycled and reused in accordance with relevant standards.
Sustainable development
During the manufacturing process, the UN3W switchgear (branching box) continuously reduces the use of 5F6, and no 5F6 gas is used during installation.

All products are made from 100% recyclable materials.
Provide self-powered relays and devices to avoid additional energy consumption.
