Characteristics of Gemini switchboards

Gemini is the result of design work conducted by ABB with the direct collaboration of switchboard manufacturers, installers and designers who considered versatility to be the discriminating element when purchasing a switchboard, equally as important as sturdiness and reliability. Gemini fulfils this requirement by providing a product that can be used for three different purposes: in addition to the basic configuration it also provides the components necessary for equipping it as an automation switchboard or as a distribution and mixed switchboard.

In all applications, compatibility with ABB protection, control and monitoring products means that a real system of integrated and complementary functions can be configured.

Typical examples of some Gemini applications can be seen in installations in industrial production departments and on board machines, in galvanization plants and varnishing cabins, in petrol stations and car-washing plants, boiler-rooms, car parks, shopping malls and in any other environments where distribution and automation demand specific safety requirements and service continuity.

Gemini also has flexible measurements, with six different box sizes and internal space to accommodate from 24 to 216 DIN modules.

To respect safety standards, all the switchboard’s components can be fixed to the base plate or to the box frame without having to use any tods; wiring is carded out from the front followed by snapping the base plate or the frame onto the box. The patented frame is fitted with the cable duct incorporated in the uprights.

In its design, Gemini repeats the shapes and RAL 7035 grey color of the ArTu switchboards with which it can be configured as a main protection switchboard.
