Abstract: A substation containing a switch-gear or control-gear system, in particular a switch-gear or control-gear system includes at least one low voltage switch-gear or control-gear, with unmanned operation and maintenance. The inner room, where the switch-gear or control-gear are located in, is hermetically enclosed by an outer housing, the switch-gear or control-gear system is provided for unmanned operation and maintenance with a robotic system or manipulator, and/or the robotic system or manipulator is provided with a camera system, and/or an image recognition system and/or the inner room is locked against the outer housing by an inner, automatically operated door, and/or the robot system is implemented in such, that the robot systems acting area is extended from the inner room, partly in the area outside the inner room, but inside the outer housing, where spare parts are stored in a spare parts hand over area.

Abstract: A switch-gear or control-gear system for medium or high voltage use includes an external housing containing the switch-gear or control-gear system, which is configured for unmanned operation and maintenance. The switch-gear or control-gear system is configured for unmanned operation and maintenance with a robotic system or manipulator and the robotic system or manipulator is provided with a camera system and an image recognition system. The robotic system is provided with a data network or an external data communication interface.

Abstract: A switchgear or controlgear with unmanned operation and maintenance includes: an equipment safety system that includes a steering and control system for calculating a action radius of a robot system. An acting area in an internal space of the switchgear or controlgear is divided into virtual zones. Each action in each virtual zone is precalculated predictively as a micro simulation in which actual sensor data are considered before an intended action is triggered.

Abstract: A substation for medium or high voltage includes: switchgear or controlgear with unmanned operation and maintenance; an inner room in which the switchgear or controlgear is located, the inner room being hermetically enclosed by an outer housing, the inner room being locked against the outer housing by an inner, automatically operated door; and a robot system, the robot system being implemented such that an acting area of the robot system is extended from the inner room, partly in an area outside the inner room, but within the substation internal space, where spare parts are stored in a spare parts hand over area, for maintenance.

Abstract: An indoor switchgear or controlgear arrangement with unmanned operation and maintenance, for use in low, medium, or high voltage, includes: an arrangement of switching devices in an inner housing, which is furthermore provided with an outer housing; and a robot system, acting mainly in the inner housing. At least the switching devices other than maintenance critical parts are withdrawable. The switchgear or controlgear is provided with interlocks in order to prevent a wrong sequence of operation and prevent access to potentially hazardeous compartments. Metallic segregation is provided internally in the inner housing in order to achieve a needed service continuty level.

Abstract: An outdoor enclosure for housing power distribution equipment is disclosed herein. The outdoor enclosure includes improved means for evacuating arc flash gases from inside the enclosure to the atmosphere, comprising an expansion chamber and improved chimney. The chimney includes a chimney base and chimney capping structure arrangement designed to allow for the safe ventilation of arc fault gases to the atmosphere, while maintaining weather-proof characteristics.
