{... In medium voltage, risk must be avoided, that’s why we always recommend hi-reliability. With a 1,100,000 functions installed-base, SM6 is our reference...}

SM6’s modularity enables it to evolve with your customer’s needs.

CAPDI (China Aeronautical Project and Design Institute), China

« SM6’s characteristics are modular design, comprehensive functions as well as flexible solutions. It’s the reason why SM6 is many customers’ favorite. Schneider Electric’s high level technical support team and Customer Care Centre provide a key point of contact for all customer post-sales and order-processing enquiries and develop close relationships with customers. Such complete quick response service and support system could shorten our design period to save our time. »

Giorgio Tironi, CEO of Alfa Electrical Implementations, Italy

« By working with Schneider Electric, I had the opportunity to increase my capabilities and technical knowledge, and I have been able to build the company you see today. »

Daniel Gil, Energy Operating Manager of TEL3 SA, Argentina

« We installed SM6 equipment that is of hi-reliability and meets the requirements of our customers.Frequently our clients make changes on the run, and the suppliers must adapt these modifications in the same original delivery periods. Schneider Electric is very strong in this regard, because the company is very committed to achieve all the objectives. This is why it becomes an advantage to work with Schneider Electric. »

100% peace of mind is guaranteed thanks to hi-reliable service continuity and hi-safety of people.

Helping you access hi-reliability all over the worldSM6 benefits from Schneider Electric’s hi-level know-how in factory-builtcubicles and in SF6 breaking technology.More than 4,000,000 medium voltage functions using SF6 breakingtechnology were installed throughout the world over the last forty years.

Whatever you do, wherever you are, you can benefit from hi-reliability.

1,100,000 SM6 functional units are protecting people and goods all over the world.

They already benefit from SM6’s hi-reliability:

What can SM6 do for you?

Providing the right answer for all applicationsThe modular SM6 range comprises uniform cubicles equipped with SF6 or vacuum breaking, air insulated switchgear.These cubicles can be used for metering, auto-transfer switch, transformer, circuit breaker, fuse protection, industrial substation and much more.

Ensuring service continuity In addition to its hi-reliability, SM6 was conceived with remote control in mind so that you can easily monitor and control your network.

Monitoring network qualityWith our control and monitoring devices integrated into the switchboard, you can reduce the energy consumption of a commercial or industrial facility by typically 20%.

Enabling easy upgradabilityYour switchboard can easily adapt to the evolution of your activity thanks to a modular range, its easy installation and operation.

Optimised architecture for hi-safetyTo guarantee hi-reliability and availability of energy, SM6 has been designed with 3 distinct compartments and 2 distinct cabinets. All of them are earthed, and can be operated without powering the others off, keeping your energy always available.

Making main contact more visibleIn addition to the position indicator and thanks to the three positions Load Break Switch with its unique rotated shaft mechanism, the operator can see the main contact’s position when it is open and earthed.Thanks to the inspection window, safety of people is guaranteed.

Guaranteeing safety of peopleBecause nothing is more important than safety of people, Schneider Electric provides a hi-degree of protection by evacuating the effects of internal arc thanks to:- Evacuation systems which direct

gases towards the top or the bottom of the switchboard

- Channelling and evacuating hot gases towards an external area, not hazardous for the operator

- Use of non-inflammable materials in the cubicles

- Reinforced panels

Hi-reliability in critical power applications

Saint-Joseph hospital in France, SM6 user“In operation and intensive care units, power supply is of crucial importance. The patient’s life is at stake.”

2 SM6 users testify of their needs regarding critical power applications.

Telehouse France, SM6 user “We create our data centre spaces with a plug-and-play capability. We first build the base architecture, then we are able to add an equipment in a very flexible way, without modifying the existing architecture.” “Monitoring is essential in our job: we have to be warned as quick as possible when a fault is detected.”

10

Automatic Transfer System functionBecause a single failure can threaten a patient’s life and has the potential to generate considerable financial losses, we offer you a hi-reliable solution to ensure energy availability. For your peace of mind, SM6 enables automatic control and management of power sources in your medium voltage secondary distribution network with a very short transfer time, guaranteeing the hi-reliability of your installation.

Minimising down-time using withdrawable circuit breaker function In case of failure on the circuit breaker, thanks to SM6 withdrawable function DM1-W, the breaking device can be replaced within very short time.
