Plug and switch system 145 - 252 kV

Compact switchgear fully assembled and high-voltage tested
in factory, for rapid installation and energization

PASS (Plug and Switch System) encloses

all functions of a complete switchgear bay
in a single module. The hybrid design
makes use of traditional air-insulated
busbars to connect with other equipment
in the substation while enclosing multi-
functions integrated in a single-phase gas-
insulated housing.

PASS is the most widely installed hybrid

switchgear worldwide, protecting
networks in many different climates and
applications.

Design features and advantages PASS is the excellent result of the integration process
PASS has been built as a modular components with basic characterizing all ABB products, as indicted below:
standard functions as the following: Operating and breaking functions are highly integrated within a
Circuit breaker grounded aluminum tank filled with pressurized SF6
Combined disconnector and earthing switches Disconnection carried out by an innovative three-position system:
Current transformers isolation and earthing by means of one moving contact
Voltage transformers options M2 mechanical endurance class 2 (10000 operations)
Fast earthing switch options Shipment to site in standard containers since fully factory-
assembled and pre-tested
Rapid erection and commissioning
Available in both the single and double busbar configuration
