This page was generated automatically from cited public sources and hasn't completed the full research pass yet. Every specification shown carries its source; more detail is added as research completes.
What it is
The Siemens 8 BK 80 is a genuine metal-clad single busbar switchgear with vacuum circuit breaker on withdrawable truck, rated for voltages up to 36 kV.[2]
How it works
The Siemens 8 BK 80 uses a vacuum circuit breaker with a motor operating mechanism. The withdrawable truck can be positioned in service, test, disconnected, or removed positions. The switchgear also includes closing release, shunt releases, and an auxiliary switch.[2]
Where it fits in the process flow
The Siemens 8 BK 80 is intended for energy distribution systems.[2]
