Xiria
Xiria ring main units are characterised by their high level of
operational safety and are suitable for applications up to 24 kV.
Xiria units can be supplied in two-, three-, four- or five-panel
versions. Both the primary part of the unit and the mechanisms
are housed in a fully enclosed housing which protects the system
against environmental influences.
There is a choice of two basic panel versions in our product range:
• A vacuum load break switch for ring cable connections.
• A vacuum circuit-breaker for protecting transformers and cable
connections.
Both versions can be supplied in a unit in any desired combination
and order.
Xiria is an extremely well designed and modern system. For
example, when developing the system we intentionally opted
for protection in the form of a circuit-breaker combined with an
electronic relay. This is a modern, safe and flexible alternative to
fuse protection.
In addition it also makes Xiria very easy to use in an automated
distribution network. These specific features make Xiria an easy-
to-use system that responds perfectly to changing electricity
distribution requirements, both now and in the future.
Maintenance-free
All the live primary parts and mechanisms in a Xiria unit are installed in a fully enclosed housing. This prevents dust, moisture
and other environmental influences from affecting the operation of the unit. The switching mechanism has been designed
with a minimum number of parts, and is specifically intended for switching after a long period of inactivity – precisely the
way it happens in practice. What is more, the mechanism does not use any lubricants, which also benefits its operational
safety. As it is maintenance-free, Xiria significantly cuts inspection and maintenance costs without adversely affecting the
operational safety of your distribution network. Which is something to look forward to in today’s liberalised energy market.
Intrinsically safe
When carrying out operational actions and work on the cables, it is vital to have unambiguous status indications. When it
comes to the safety of the operating personnel, Eaton leaves nothing to chance. That is why Xiria is fitted with directly visible
isolation by means of inspection windows in the front which makes the isolating distance between the cable and the busbar
system directly visible. A visible, short-circuit proof earthing can take place via the load break switch or circuit-breaker.
Xiria is designed with a fully enclosed metal housing combined with single-phase insulation of all primary live parts. This
reduces the risk of an internal fault to an absolute minimum, thus providing a high degree of safety and availability. The
KEMA-tested arc-proof housing also offers additional protection for operating personnel.
Compact
Xiria is one of the smallest ring main units of its kind. This high degree of compactness is a direct result of the combination
of technologies used by Eaton – electrical field control, solid insulation and the use of extremely compact vacuum
interrupters. This compactness offers direct financial benefits in new buildings and when refurbishing existing transformer
stations because of the minimal floor area required.
Vacuum circuit-breaker
The vacuum circuit-breaker uses a simple and reliable spring charging mechanism for operation of the
vacuum interrupters. The mechanism contains a low number of moving parts and makes no use of lubricants.
It is completely housed in a sealed for life enclosure and therefore needs no maintenance.
• With environmental friendly vacuum interrupters • Manual or motor-operated
• Simple spring charging mechanism • Position indication by means of inspection
• No use of lubricants windows and mechanical indicators
• Housed in a sealed for life enclosure • Auxiliary contacts for Open/Closed position
Busbar
The busbars in the panel are housed in the same sealed for life enclosure as the circuit-breaker and change-
over switch. To prevent a possible internal arc all busbars are single phase insulated.
• Single phase insulated • Simple and robust construction
• Air insulated • Easy to couple
• Housed in a sealed for life enclosure

Power Xpert UX 3.6kV - 24 kV
Eaton understands that real estate is a valuable resource. The available
space must be optimized to ensure building and land costs are minimized,
without compromise to the solution design or functionality.
The footprint of Eaton’s Power Xpert UX switchgear is one of the most
compact of all systems available on the market. 12/17.5kV vacuum circuit
breaker (VCB) panels with rated current of 630/1250A up to 31.5kA are
only 600mm wide and 1320mm deep – up to 37% less floor area than
similar switchgear solutions on the market. Along with a compact footprint,
the Power Xpert UX system offers flexible design options for the most
demanding of applications.
The Power Xpert UX platform has three high-voltage compartments
separated by earthed metal barriers, providing the highest loss of service
continuity classification LSC2B and partition class PM; The busbar
compartment, the switch device compartment and the cable compartment.
For personnel safety, the Power Xpert UX system is designed with a
number of comprehensive mechanical interlocks according to IEC62271-
200 for safe and reliable operation of the switchgear. Additional electrical or
mechanical key interlocks are available to secure safe and reliable operation
for busbar earthing and up or downstream interlocking
Eaton’s expertise in switchgear innovation, including cast-resin, vacuum circuit breaker and
contactor technologies, arc interruption and electrical field control have been integrated into the
design and development of Power Xpert UX. This ensures that the switchgear has the highest
levels of safety and operational reliability at all times.

Special configurations
In addition to VCB panels, the Power Xpert UX 36 offers a range of panels with
specialized configurations, increasing the flexibility of the switchgear. One of these
configurations is the equipped riser panel, which allows for a busbar-connected
voltage transformer (VT) and control transformers (CT) to be mounted in the riser.
This can reduce the overall length of the lineup reducing the cost of the building.
Primary components
Eaton power control and protection components are among the best in the world. The Power Xpert UX 36 is designed specifically
around these components and provides a best-in-class power distribution system. Fully third-party type tested to meet even the
most arduous of applications.

Main dimensions
Ratings of our VCP-WG line include 5 and 15kV, 50, 63 and 75kA,
and up to 4000A continuous current with natural convection
cooling. Higher current ratings can be achieved with the use of
fan cooling packages.
Eaton has dedicated years of research, design, enhancement and
testing to create Cutler-Hammer VCP-WG Circuit Breakers that
meet, and even exceed, these rigorous service duty requirements
of generator circuit application defined by IEEE. VCP-W vacuum
circuit breakers incorporate many design features which have
been field proven with over 50 years of vacuum interrupter design
and manufacturing experience…coupled with over 75 years of
power circuit breaker design and manufacturing experience.
Eaton’s VCP-WG generator circuit breakers meet and even exceed service duty requirements set forth
by IEEE for generator circuit applications, including:
• Generator circuit configuration • Generator-source short-circuit faults
• High continuous current levels • Unique voltage conditions
• Unique fault current conditions • Very fast RRRV
• Transformer-source short-circuit faults • Out-of-phase switching
Versatility in Application
Eaton's Generator Vacuum Circuit Breakers are available in drawout (VCP-WG) or fixed (VCP-WRG)
configurations to provide superior performance and versatility. Many industrial and commercial power
systems now include small generators as a local source of power. New applications are arising as a
result of the de-regulation of the utility industry, and the construction of smaller packaged power plants.
Typical applications include:
• Small and mid-sized hydro power generator • Combined cycle/combustion turbines
• Electrical generators • Paper, Chemical and manufacture companies
• Power plant with backup power plant
