Customer benefit
Ensures peace of mind
Ensures peace of mind
For power supply companies and industrial

plants, the platform concept of the NXAIR
family introduced at all production loca-
tions has very concrete advantages:
Smooth operation, exemplary availability,

and optimal safety.
Features
• No handling of insulating gas and no pressure monitoring required
• As insulating medium, air is always available
• Factory-assembled, type-tested switchgear according to IEC 62271‑200
• Platform concept introduced worldwide, centrally controlled development,
local manufacture
• Use of standardized block-type current transformers
• Use of standard components available worldwide, locally manufactured
components, in consideration of regional standards
• More than 610,000 air-insulated switchgear panels of Siemens in operation
worldwide
• Use of maintenance-free vacuum circuit‑breakers or vacuum contactors
• Type testing of the main switching devices and the make-proof earthing
switch in the panel
• Pressure-resistant partitions
• Flexibility regarding the low-voltage equipment (removable compartment,
plug-in wires)
• Quality assurance in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001.
Customer benefit
Saves lives
Saves lives
All switchgear types of the NXAIR family

are approved with internal arc classification
IAC A FLR, loss of service continuity
category LSC 2B, and partition class PM.
This makes them suitable for universal

installation, meeting the highest
requirements regarding personal safety.
Features
• All operations can only be performed with closed and interlocked
high-voltage door
• Metallic enclosure, earthed shutters and partitions
• Internal arc classified switchgear according to IAC A FLR (front, lateral and
rear accessibility) for all short-circuit currents and an arc duration of 1 s
• Loss of service continuity category LSC 2B (separate partitioning of the
busbar, connection and switching-device compartments)
• Partition class PM (metal-clad in pressure-resistant design)
• Unambiguous position indicators and control elements on the
high-voltage door
• Use of vacuum circuit‑breakers or vacuum contactors
• Standard degree of protection IP3XD; different degrees of protection possible
as an option
• Positively driven shutters (separately lockable)
• Logical mechanical interlocking system.
Customer benefit
Increases productivity
Increases productivity
Properties such as modular design,

type tests of the switching devices in the
switchgear, confinement of an internal arc
to the respective compartment, and thus
maximum operational reliability, contribute
to optimum operation and a remarkable
increase of productivity.
Features
• Loss of service continuity category LSC 2B
• Partition class PM
• Maximum degree of protection IP51 possible
• Positively driven shutters
• Use of standardized block-type current transformers
• Cable testing possible without isolating the busbar
• Functions such as establishment of the isolating distance, as well as feeder
and busbar earthing, can be completely controlled from remote
• Confinement of an internal arc to the respective compartment up to 31.5 kA
• Control cables in metallic wiring ducts
• Easy access to all switchgear components
• Rapid interruption of an internal arc optionally possible
by installation of arc detection systems.
Customer benefit
Saves money
Saves money
The compact design of the NXAIR family

pays twice for owners thanks to the use of
the new SION circuit‑breaker series.
On the one hand, building costs can be

reduced in this way, and on the other
hand, the maintenance-free
circuit‑breakers and the modular design
enable continuous operation without
expensive downtimes.
Features
• Maintenance-free switchgear for up to 10 years
• Interruption of operation reduced to a minimum by
logical mechanical interlocking system
• Minimized space requirements (reduced building investments) thanks to
compact design and flexible cable connection options, and/or flexible
pressure relief duct systems.
Customer benefit
Preserves the environment
Preserves the environment
Air used as insulating medium, local

production locations with short
transportation ways and times, as well
as a service life of more than 30 years,
optimize the total energy balance.
Features
• Air as insulating medium is absolutely neutral to the environment
• Local production presence in all regions, minimized energy consumption
(CO2) regarding transport
• A service life of more than 30 years optimizes the energy balance additionally
• The materials used are fully recyclable without special knowledge
• Easy disposal.

Optical arc detection systems
Optical arc detection systems

Description
R-HA25-705 tif
• Optical arc detection systems recognize internal arcs by
means of optical sensors. This allows to detect arising
internal arcs reliably and quickly. Accordingly, the protec-
tion device can trip quickly and without delay times.
• The internal arc is interrupted within 100 ms and prevents
damage to the switchgear, which would otherwise occur
due to the thermal phase of the internal arc.
Benefits
• Reliable detection of internal arcs
• Extremely fast break times ≤ 100 ms Bay controller of the SIPROTEC 5 series
incl. the total break time of the circuit‑breaker
• Clear reduction of the arc energy
• Minimization of thermal damage
• Increase of personal safety
R-HA25-706 tif
• Minimization of downtimes
• EMC-safe thanks to purely optical sensors.
Design and function

Arc protection module ARC-CD-3FO
• Basic components
– Optical sensors in every compartment
– Bay controller
– Circuit-breaker
• Internal arcs are detected optically, almost without delays
and by using an additional current criterion for preventing
R-HA25-707 tif
overfunctioning, e.g. due to external light
• Tripping of the circuit‑breaker and interruption of the arc
Point sensor with optical fiber and connection
fault current within 100 ms.

Description
• SIQuench is an active arc detection system by Siemens, Cable catches fire
which quenches the internal arc in a time span of less than Copper catches fire
