Abstract

Metal-encased modular medium-voltage distribution system with one or more sections constructed of compartmental modules having components of the distribution system and each section having at least one first busbar system for internal section connection including n phases, each of the phases extending substantially rectilinearly in a first direction (x). At least one second busbar system with n phases for external connection to other sections, each of the phases of the second busbar system extending essentially rectilinearly in a second direction (y) substantially perpendicular to the first direction (x). First switching elements extending in a third direction (z) substantially perpendicular to both the first direction (x) and the second direction (y), and being arranged between the phases of the first busbar system and corresponding external conductors; and second switching means extending substantially in the third direction (z), and arranged between the phases of the first busbar system and corresponding phases of the second busbar system.
