Advanced construction for CSS enclosure

The enclosure of the outdoor CSS is manufactured using high quality pre-galvanized sheet steel. This provides high resistance to corrosion, which is paramount in outdoor applications. CSS is typically divided into three compartments for – medium voltage switchgear, low voltage switchboard and distribution transformer. The detachable roof with ventilation opening is beam supported and secured at each corner with bolts.

Modular construction

The enclosure's wall units, roof and doors are constructed using standard modules. Its limiting dimensions are 3830 x 2330 x 2415 mm (L x W x H)

Advantages:

• High mechanical strength
• Flexibility in design, different layout possible
• Appealing aesthetics

Clinching technology

Self-interlocking modules are inter-connected using clinching technology. All load bearing members are of 2 mm thickness and non-load bearing members are 1.5 mm thick. Bolting is used only for the base frame and lifting fittings.

Advantages

• New-age technology, free from rivets and screws
• Piercing of sheet metal is eliminated
• Enhances mechanical strength of CSS enclosure
• Water and air-tight joints
