Hiko LV Distribution & Transformer Frames
Hiko offers a wide range of modular, precision-built and custom built frames and switchgear for pad, tank and/or wall mount distribution/transformer applications.
Hiko low voltage switchgear frames for transformer and distribution applications are designed, engineered and built for safety and reliability to deliver value through the asset lifecycle.
Hiko low voltage switchgear frames for transformer and distribution applications are designed, engineered and built for safety and reliability to deliver value through the asset lifecycle.
Safety is embedded into Hiko LV switchgear frames through:
- fully insulated busbars
- generously sized high temperature rated polycarbonate transparent covers
- latest generation EFEN vertical fuse-switch disconnects (and optional circuit breakers and other arc-flash mitigating treatments)
- integral CT’s, high voltage CT wiring and fully rated CT test blocks.
Safe operating performance and long-term reliability are assured by our design methodology that includes mechanical, electrical and thermal modelling and testing, and our manufacturing process in line with the requirements of AS/NZS61439.1 and 61439.5.
A modular range of precision-built pad mount, wall mount and tank mount frames are available, using laser-cut stainless steel structural components and accommodating a wide range of sizes and configurations. Precisely engineered design is combined with light weight construction to support ease of installation. An almost unlimited variety is available.
Service panels are available for all frames to suit customer requirements. These can be fitted pre-wired with analogue or digital metering, MDIs, street-lighting and hot water pilot wire connections and LV network monitoring systems.
Hiko LV switchgear frames are fully modelled in 3D to simplify, speed up and deliver certainty through the design-in process. One-off frames can also be produced for unique situations.
