KSO-E Type Single-Front-Access Switchgear Cabinets, Assembled (Dimension 393)

General information

KSO-E prefabricated front-access switchgear cells

KSO-E cells are designed for receiving and distributing three-phase 50 Hz AC electricity in networks with an isolated neutral or a neutral grounded through an arc-suppression reactor. LK Energy Group manufactures KSO-E in series for 6, 10 and 20 kV; versions for 35 kV are made to order according to technical conditions (short-circuit currents and ratings for this class are determined project-specific/TS). Switching is vacuum-type; there is no SF6 gas-insulated version. The enclosure is a prefabricated riveted structure made of galvanized cold-formed profiles, with optional powder coating per RAL.

The cells are equipped with main devices and protection elements according to the order specification; secondary circuit schemes are developed for each individual project. Manufactured to our own technical specifications.

The exact designation is confirmed against your single-line diagram: send it or a completed questionnaire. Together with the diagram we need the voltage class (6, 10 or 20 kV) and the main-circuit current — 630 or 1000 A.

Specific main circuit schemes, devices, and dimensions are selected for your project. Send us an inquiry sheet — we will prepare a solution.

Schemes: main-circuit arrangements

You do not have to find your scheme in this list — we build any of them. Over eleven years of in-house manufacturing we have built every scheme in the series, and we build any of them today: at 6, 10 and 20 kV, with main-circuit currents of 630 and 1000 A. From the simplest cubicle with a disconnector through to one with a vacuum circuit breaker, a metering cubicle with voltage transformers, and an auxiliary-supply cubicle with a built-in 10–40 kVA transformer.

If your specification carries a scheme with a letter — 03A, 11V, 17V — that is the same scheme in a variant, and it is ours too. The exact designation is confirmed against your single-line diagram: send it to us, or send a completed questionnaire.

How the designation reads

The full designation of a cubicle looks like this:

KSO-E-393-17V / 20 / 0,63 U3

PartMeaning
KSO-Esingle-side-access assembled cubicle
393frame (enclosure type)
17Vmain-circuit scheme number — this is the variant
20rated voltage, kV
0,63rated main-circuit current, kA (0.63 or 1.0)
U3climatic design and location category to GOST 15150-69

Specifications and passports often record the same cubicle differently — KSO-E-393 17V/10/630-393V, with the current in amps and the frame repeated at the end. It is the same product.

Schemes at 6 and 10 kV

Dimensions are given as H × W × D, mm. The letters A / V / S denote variants of the same scheme: typically a surge arrester is added and/or the cubicle height changes.

Description and Purpose

KSO-E is an assembled single-front-access switchgear cabinet for 6, 10 and 20 kV distribution switchgear (indoor installation, enclosed switchgear/enclosed transformer substations); versions for 35 kV are made to order according to technical conditions. Switching is performed by fixed vacuum circuit breakers and disconnectors; there is no SF6 (sulfur hexafluoride) gas-insulated design. Intended for distribution points at industrial facilities, transformer substations and central distribution points — receiving, metering and distribution of electricity with frequent switching operations. Suitable for designers, contractors and industrial customers. LK Energy's advantage is its own switchgear manufacturing in Odesa since 2015: cabinet ratings and single-line diagrams are made to the customer's project/technical specification, with installation and commissioning.

Questions & answers

FAQ

What voltage does LK Energy Group manufacture KSO-E cabinets for?
LK Energy Group manufactures KSO-E in series for 6, 10 and 20 kV; versions for 35 kV are made to order according to technical conditions. Ratings (main circuit current, short-circuit currents, cabinet scheme) are selected to match the customer's project or technical brief.
What switching devices are used in KSO-E cabinets?
Fixed vacuum circuit breakers and disconnectors; the specific breaker type is selected for the project. There is no SF6 (sulfur hexafluoride) gas-insulated design — vacuum switching only.
Can a cabinet be ordered to a specific single-line diagram?
Yes. KSO-E is made-to-order equipment: dimensions, rated current and cabinet scheme are manufactured to your project or technical brief. Confirm the specifications with our engineer before ordering.
How does KSO differ from KRU?
KSO has single-front (front-only) access and fixed devices — more compact and cheaper, for indoor installation in enclosed switchgear/enclosed transformer substations. KRU (withdrawable switchgear) uses withdrawable trucks and double-side access, for facilities requiring redundancy. See the comparison table on the page for details.
How long does manufacturing take and what is the warranty?
Estimated manufacturing time is about 1 month, depending on the scheme and current workload. The warranty is 2 years (extended to 5 years by agreement); enclosure metalwork — 10 years. Installation and commissioning are carried out by our specialists.
How do I buy a KSO-E cabinet and what is needed for a quotation?
The order goes like this: inquiry → calculation → quotation → contract → manufacturing → shipment. For the calculation we need: a single-line diagram or a list of cabinets; the voltage (6, 10 or 20 kV); the rated current of the main circuits and busbars; the type of circuit breaker and the main-circuit diagram of each cabinet. The approximate price on this page is from UAH 40,000; the exact figure is calculated from your diagram. Manufacturing takes about 1 month depending on the diagram and the current workload.
