4. Advantages of 8DJH
1.Service life: Under normal operating conditions,
the expected service life is at least 35 years,
probably 40 to 50 years
2.Personal safety
Safe-to-touch.
HV HRC fuses and cable sealing ends are only
accessible when outgoing feeders are earthed
Operation only possible when enclosure is closed
Logical mechanical interlocking
Capacitive voltage detecting system
Feeder earthing via make-proof earthing switches.
3.Maintenance-free design
4.Maximum supply reliability
5.Installation, operation, extension and replacement
without SF6 gas work
6.Reduced operating costs
7.Cost-efficient investment.
8.Type and routine-tested
9.Small dimensions
10. Standardized
