RAM Load Break Switchgear
The G&W Electric RAM is a 15–38 kV sealed dead-front SF6 load break switchgear for utility and commercial and industrial distribution in padmount and submersible vault installations, sold and supported in Texas and Oklahoma by Ryan Sales.
- 15/25/35kV classes
- max 38kV
- BIL 110/125/150kV
- 630A continuous (900A available)
- 40kA asym momentary
Overview
The RAM family (RAM, PRAM, SPRAM) provides load break switching in a totally sealed, dead-front gas-insulated device with compact padmount and submersible vault constructions. Visible break on all ways, integral 1% voltage sensing and motor automation options with SEL, ABB or GE relays support SCADA and automation schemes. Units are seismically certified per ICC-ES-AC-156 and built to IEEE switchgear and enclosure standards.
