THE TOTAL ECLIPSE . . .
When we introduced the Eclipse to the UK market at the start of the millennium,
we were confident of its success . . . we have not been disappointed.
With the patented single coil magnetic actuator, together with vacuum
interruption and the simplicity of air insulation in a fixed pattern design, the
Eclipse has the winning edge that it needs in this increasingly competitive
market.
The fixed pattern design of the Eclipse eliminates the need for withdrawing the
circuit breaker and hence the need for the associated racking mechanism, shutter
assemblies, isolating contacts and secondary contacts. Together with an
extensive use of insulated mouldings and, in particular, the leading edge design
of the patented single coil magnetic actuator; the total parts count has been
reduced by a factor of x20 and the number of moving parts by a factor of x50,
resulting in a virtually maintenance free design. This compactness and
flexibility is what makes the Eclipse ideal for containerised solutions and
applications that require the use of compact spaces.
The superior operator safety that it affords, together with its simplicity of
design and operation, only enhances the Eclipse’s attraction further.
Appreciated in every business sector from building services to the UK’s DNO’s,
the Eclipse currently holds the position as UK market leader for 11kV indoor
switchgear, securing over 50% of the market. There are now over 5500 Eclipse
panels in use through out the world, with over 20% supplying the global building
services market.
Within the UK building services market, the Eclipse has been supplied to a wide
cross section of business sectors and customers. To name but a few: Canary Wharf
Estate, where 122 Eclipse panels have been supplied so far; a number of new
state-of-the-art hospitals (Addenbrooke Hospital, Cambridge; Great Western,
Swindon; Baglan Hospital; John Radcliffe Hospital); major airport authorities
(including Gatwick and Heathrow); Universities; Exhibition centres e.g. The
Excel Exhibition Centre, London Docklands; Retail complexes; and Football
Stadiums / Arenas e.g. the new Ricoh Arena, Coventry.
Designed to provide a lifetime of unrivalled service, there is no doubting that
reliability; quality and integrity are all central to the design of the Eclipse.
With these core qualities at the helm, the Eclipse continues to build its
successful reputation and technical expertise through out the building services
market, providing one of the most technically advanced, yet lowest lifetime
costs for, fixed pattern metal clad medium voltage switchgear applications
available in the market today.
