LMVP medium voltage switchgear range

RPS LMVP Switchgear

LMVP medium voltage switchgear range covering RPM vacuum circuit breakers, IEC 62271 and IEC 298 single busbar panels, and double busbar panels for 12kV distribution projects.

LMVP Overview

A practical 12kV range for medium voltage distribution.

The LMVP switchgear range supports medium voltage distribution through practical circuit-breaker and panel configurations for network, industrial, infrastructure, and mining environments. The range includes the RPM vacuum circuit breaker, IEC 62271 single busbar panel, IEC 298 single busbar panel with withdrawable voltage transformer, and double busbar panel.

The platform combines flexible breaker ratings, fixed metal-clad panel construction, internal arc tested arrangements, and options for voltage transformer integration. RPS Switchgear SA presents the LMVP range within its current South African product portfolio for projects that need robust 12kV distribution equipment and lifecycle support.
