1 MV vacuum circuit breaker Evolis When trust guides your steps

2 Evolis From the world specialist in MV/LV electrical distribution Through its expertise in circuit breaker design, Merlin Gerin specialists have always been one step ahead of the technological and economic developments on the market to provide solutions to meet the increasing demands of its user and incorporator customers. > A few key dates for loyal Merlin Gerin customers The milestones in the Merlin Gerin brand's history include new products which made their mark through the advances they provided in terms of technology and performance. > In Low Voltage c 1970 : Compact c 1980 : Multi 9 c 1980 : Masterpact > In Medium Voltage c 1965 : Solenarc This range of air-break circuit breakers provided safety and endurance compared with "oil" technology. c 1978 : VM6 SF6 type secondary distribution cubicles. Solenarc 2000 Evolis 17.5 kv 2004 Evolis 24 kv Multi 9 c 1980 : Fluarc With this range of SF6 breaking circuit breakers, the Merlin Gerin brand became the world specialist in this technology. c 1990 : SM6 The Merlin Gerin brand became a world-wide leader on this market after launching this modular cubicle system to replace the VM6. Fluarc Evolis Merlin Gerin Evolis is a vacuum technology circuit breaker that meets current and future standards in terms of electrical installation dependability, in compliance with standards and environmental protection. It is a quintessential expression of Merlin Gerin's know-how. Evolis is intended for all electrical network applications, either new or renovation installations, for utilities companies, infrastructures, process industry and tertiary buildings.

3 Merlin Gerin Innovating in the right direction Innovating is about offering you the best of a technology. It is also about enhancing this technology with other electronics software and telecommunications technologies. In this way innovation is empowered. It allows you to have equipment that is increasingly accurate and reliable... but that is also easier to integrate, to install or to maintain. Product design takes account of environmental constraints. They are described in a "Product Environmental Profile" (PEP). > Several major innovations c Sepam Sepam is the first digital relay for MV network protection. With Sepam, network monitoring and operation has become more dependable by taking account of a greater number of parameters. Sepam has also allowed us to simplify the Low Voltage monitoring and metering function. c Masterpact This was the first LV power circuit breaker to integrate an electronic release unit. Masterpact opened up new opportunities for improving protection selectivity, communication, the scope and precision of settings. This innovation also allowed us to simplify ordering by reducing the number of references. Evolis with the Pilot option Pilot is the first supervision module to be integrated in an MV circuit breaker. It allows the long-term performance levels of the Evolis circuit breaker to be guaranteed, its incorporation to be verified and its operation to be facilitated. Evolis and its Pilot module optimizes electrical installation availability in complete safety.

4 Evolis Merlin Gerin circuit breaker The very best of vacuum technology As a specialist in breaking technologies, Merlin Gerin naturally took an interest in vacuum breaking techniques. A major R&D investment was made to develop and engineer Evolis. > AMF technology Merlin Gerin s specialists chose AMF vacuum breaking technology: Axial Magnetic Field. In addition to excellent dielectric withstand, AMF technology gives high circuit breaker endurance and guarantees electrical installation durability. > The Schneider Electric guarantee All components of the Evolis circuit breaker are produced in Schneider Electric plants, including the vacuum interrupters, which are manufactured in an ultra-modern production unit in France. From design to production, our industrial process expertise guarantees a product that meets standards of quality and reliability. In compliance with standards At every stage of development and production, Evolis was subject to a series of tests to guarantee its performance levels. Evolis is in accordance with IEC standard Design and production sites are certified ISO 9000 (std.2000). Production sites are certifie ISO

5 Evolis Designed for panel builders The Evolis system was designed to be easier to integrate and install. It includes Merlin Gerin's MV distribution expertise and an extensive component catalogue. It provides a simple solution to building customized MV switchboards. > The Merlin Gerin MV switchboard component offer Evolis circuit breakers are at the heart of Merlin Gerin component offer for high performance MV switchboards: c cubicle components, c multi-performance current sensors allowing the number of references. and installation costs to be reduced. They also allow easier cubicle integration c MV network protection relays Evolis 24 kv > Optimize your production schedules Logistics considerations were integrated for Evolis, right from the product's offer design stage. Order and stock management and delivery times were optimized to allow us to respond even quicker to your requirements. Cubicle components Current sensors For new and retrofit installations Protection relay Through its compact dimensions, Evolis is perfectly suited to substitution or renovation in existing installations.

6 Evolis Service included Merlin Gerin provides panel builders with a high performance set of tools to help them to design and produce their switchboards on a day-to-day basis. > Designing What solutions to select? What circuit breaker for which application? What components for which performance level? All of these questions can be answered using the Design Guide. Switchboards are optimized in line with the electrical installation's exact characteristics. Design Guide > Promoting Promotional documents, catalogues, Web site. Many tools are provided to facilitate your sales approaches. Web Kit > Ordering A specific, clear and legible order form helps save time when ordering. > Installing Compliance with assembly procedures, standards, checking of specifications and safety. The Installation Guide gives you all of the instructions you need to produce switchboards with complete peace of mind. Order form Installation Guide Training New offer, new challenge. Merlin Gerin provides its training know-how to train technicians. It offers courses or sessions, either run on-site or on-line so that you can understand and find out everything you need to know about Evolis.

7 Schneider Electric and panel builders A win-win partnership How can you go even further in terms of installation safety? How can you give value to your offer and guarantee your clients have "manufacturer" quality installations and equipment? By sharing its know-how with you, Schneider Electric gives you what you need to succeed. > NEX Licence: better than a contract, a certification > What advantages does this have for you as a local panel builder?
