Vista^® Underground Distribution Switchgear

Pad-Mounted Style

Compact Pad-Mounted Style Vista Underground Distribution Switchgear improves aesthetics and reduces real-estate requirements — especially at 34.5 kV, where air-insulated gear is too large to be practical for many applications.

• Compact footprint and low profile — Pad-mounted enclosures feature hinged roofs and removable panels to provide convenient access to both the operating and termination components.
• All cable terminations are located on one side of the gear. Minimizes operating clearances, reduces space requirements. A typical 15-kV Vista installation requires just 1/3 the space of conventional pad-mounted gear.
• A single Vista unit accommodates up to six load-interrupter switches, fault interrupters, or combination of each. So more loads can be served from a single unit. Eliminates need for redundant switches and extra cabling, trenching, and box pads — and additional operating clearances needed between multiple units.
• Operating controls are isolated from the cable compartment. Thanks to Vista’s innovative features, operating personnel are never exposed to medium-voltage during routine operations.
• Certified arc resistant per IEC 60298 Annex AA for fault currents up to 12.5kA symmetrical for 15 cycles . . . adds another level of safety for operating personnel.
