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.
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.

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.
