Lucy Switchgear - Switching and Protection Solutions for Electrical Distribution Systems

Lucy Switchgear provides switching and protection solutions for electrical distribution systems. The company supplies medium voltage oil and SF6 insulated vacuum Ring Main Units (RMU), pole mounted air break and SF6 enclosed load break switches, substation disconnectors and power connectors, automation and retrofit solutions, low voltage feeder pillars and cut-outs.

GROUND MOUNTED SECONDARY SWITCHGEAR

Our Sabre products are characterised by their reliability and operational safety. They have a long service life and require virtually zero maintenance in the most extreme conditions.

The Trident range of oil insulated ring main units is a leading performer in the global market. For use in both rural and industrial settings, it can be positioned in the most extreme conditions: ambient temperatures from -10°C to 55°C.

The Scimitar range meets stringent requirements and is fabricated to resist corrosion attacks for durable outdoor and indoor use. The switches are contained within a common stainless steel SF6 filled tank with the fuses mounted in air above the gas chamber.

HV metering units - the AMU is designed for use with the latest Sabre VRN2a (250A) and VRN6a (400/630A) ring main units, but is also compatible with the full Sabre RMU family, including the extensible units.

SWITCHGEAR AUTOMATION

The Gemini-RTU has been specifically designed for the control and monitoring of both ground and pole mounted switchgear equipment. Based on an open and modular architecture, the Gemini-RTU can support different protocols.

The Gemini-DC is a stand alone device acting as a SCADA front end processor and performing key functions such as data capture and monitoring, simple control of serial ports, protocol conversion and data consolidation for transmission over Ethernet.

Based on a high level SCADA programming language and field-proven technology, the Gemini software architecture combines flexibility and scalability.

RURAL SUBSTATION DISCONNECTORS AND SWITCHGEAR

The Rapier RX range incorporates a modular design switch that can be configured to suit a variety of applications. The Rapier RX rocking type switch can be a key element in rural distribution networks.

Based on the latest developments in SF6 switchgear technology, the GX combines high performance and reliability. The GX load break switch can be manually operated or motorised for sectionalising, automation and remote control to suit your network requirements.

The Rapier Double Side Break (DSB) range provides a powerful and cost-effective solution for isolating a series of circuits and equipment in substation applications. Based on open terminal air break technology, the Rapier DSB range combines robustness and alignment reliability.

POWER CONNECTORS

Lucy Switchgear has in-depth knowledge in providing substation connectors up to 145kV and accessories. Designed to interface with all associated products including circuit breakers, disconnectors, voltage transformers and sealing ends, our connectors are ideal for new build and refurbishment projects.

We can provide aluminium and copper busbar for 33kV, 66kV, 132kV applications to BS159 aluminium busbar tube E91E TF BS2898 copper busbar tube C101 HDHC BS2871.
