GEM Plus
Custom-Built Low Voltage Switchboard System
When we designed the new modular GEM Plus system, our customers were involved right from the beginning. Based on customer needs assessed from the derived target market segment, the new GEM Plus provides significantly increased flexibility, reliability, security, expandability, aesthetics, and value for money. GEM Plus type tested factory built assemblies are designed and manufactured in accordance with the highest quality of the national/international standard applicable to low voltage equipment. The comprehensive range of GEM Plus system applications varies from withdrawable and fixed power control centers with air circuit breakers, motor control centers in fully draw-out, semi drawout and fixed version for motor starter application, distribution panels in draw-out and fixed version. The equipment can be executed with a three or four phase busbar with maximum safety level for the operator.

Salient Features of GEM Plus:

Using a relatively few standard components it is possible to construct a custom build switchboard The versatility of the modular system makes it easy & quick assembly, extension and site modifications Standardized drawout modules are fully interchangeable Self locking of drawout modules after insertion Plugin terminals for semi drawout and sliding terminals for fully drawout control contacts Non-hygroscopic fire retardant barriers and DMC/SMC moulded insulators for increased safety Vertical busbars designed for 4 pole plug in system to provide drawout neutral isolation Interleaving busbar system is adopted for higher rated switchboards Spacious horizontal busbar chamber for better heat dissipation

Operational Safety, Quality and Availability
The fulfillment of all instructions of IS: 8623 / IEC:60439-1 assures a basic level for personnel and system protection. With GEM Plus, GE exceeds these levels as a standard. The GEM Plus low voltage switchboard system has been subjected to extensive type tests in compliance with the standards.

In order to ensure the highest possible degree of safety, GE continues to conduct tests as a continuous development program. The results of these tests are applicable to the various low voltage switchgear and control gear assemblies (TTA) in accordance with IS: 8623 / IEC:60439-1 Our continuous improvement in quality and productivity is driven through lean six sigma ways. Our manufacturing unit is one of the certified EHS Global Star facility.

Motor Control Centers

GEM Plus MCCs are used to control electric motors and other equipments from a central location, or power is to be distributed to equipments safely and reliably. The MCCs are available in Single Front and Double Front or Back-to-Back. GEM Plus MCCs are sheet steel modular construction and each vertical section is segregated with metallic barriers and are supplied in fully drawout, semi drawout and fixed version. Each panels are extendable both side and can be coupled to breaker panels having higher depth either side. Double bended doors and covers ensure the torsion free and self adhesive gaskets make the panels dust and vermin proof.

Outgoing with-drawable units

Drawout units are provided with spring loaded incoming power contact connecting the unit to vertical busbars and outgoing contact for the cables. Each drawout unit comprises the following locking devices: An automatic door interlock, which prevents the door being opened when the switch is in the ON position. A latch, to prevent the unit from being dropped accidentally if removed too quickly. Plug-in / sliding contact block features available to enable remote control and signaling. A test position is also available whenever required to facilitate testing of control circuits with functional interlock without energizing the power unit.

The trays are provided with guides and low friction sliding devices which can smoothly insert and withdraw along with the guide rails.

Outgoing non-drawable units

In this design feeder components are fitted directly into the cubicle and both power and control terminals are in fixed version.

Compartment and trays

The withdrawable compartments are of standard sizes G1, G2, G3, G4, G5 and G6 being multiple of G1 which is 120mm high. One panel front can accommodate maximum of 17 such basic units of G1 size, the trays in case of fixed module G1 to G17 can be selected based on the feeder type. Every compartment is provided with a hinged door and a FRP/PVC barrier in between the vertical busbar and tray.

Main Busbar system

The main / horizontal busbars are located in a separate compartment at the top of the switchboard. The spacious horizontal busbar compartment has a degree of protection of IP 54 for upto 1600A and IP 42 for above rating. The phase bars and neutral bar are available for current ratings from 500 up to 4000A with Al and 6300A with Cu. They are secured by SMC/DMC busbar supports and can be easily extendable on both sides. Unique arrangement of interleaving system is adopted for higher rated panels to not only achieve better dynamic and thermal withstand capacity but also to reduce temperature rise.

current rating from 630A to 1440A. VBB are covered with FRP/PVC feeder shrouds having the opening only for the incoming terminals. Safety shutters are available optionally.

Power Control Centers

GEM Plus PCCs are used as main LT switchboards for distribution and control of power. The PCC panels are offered either in single tire or two tire configuration. PCCs are suitable for coupling with single front and double front MCCs to make the switchboard as PMCC. GEM Plus PCCs are sheet steel modular construction, each PCCs are provided with segregated compartment for safety i.e. Metering chamber, Circuit breaker chamber and Relay chamber, each sections having its own doors. Double bended doors and covers ensure the torsion free and self adhesive gaskets make the panels dust and vermin proof. Spacious bottom cable space are provided and are also suitable for either cable or busduct entry from top/bottom. For single core cables, aluminium gland plates are provided to eliminate the magnetic effect. Barriers are provided between the incoming and outgoing terminals of ACB for added safety.
