PASS M0 145 to 170 kV
Product information

PASS M0 belongs to Hitachi

Energy’s innovative high-voltage
hybrid switchgear family PASS
(Plug and Switch System).

PASS encloses all functions of a

complete switchgear bay in a
single module, with a small
footprint.

Design Key benefits of the product

PASS modules are completely factory-assembled and tested, ready
for rapid installation and energization. PASS M0 is available in
numerous configurations, including single busbar, double busbar
and double circuit breaker.
• Enhanced safety and simplified maintenance
• Spring-spring operating mechanism
• Available with three pole operated (TPO) and single pole operated
(SPO) circuit breaker
• Point-on-wave switching option available for improved system
stability
• Widely installed base in all environments and applications
• Global service organisation, local everywhere
• Enhanced product lifetime by using double-motion self-blast
interrupter, which significantly reduces the energy needed to
operate the circuit breaker
• Highly flexible and customizable product
• Minimization of on-site activities by optimized packing and delivery
arrangements
• Reduced environmental impact with type tested leakage rate
< 0.1%/y
• Disconnectors performance as per most actual IEC standards –
induced current IEC 62271-102 Ed. 2.1 and bus transfer
IEC 62271-102 Ed. 2.1
• Utilizes Hitachi Energy's newest generation of the well-known and
widely applied FSA operating mechanism supported by Hitachi
Energy's global service network
