Vista^® Underground Distribution Switchgear

UnderCover™ Style

Completely underground and out of sight, yet easy to operate from ground level, the unique UnderCover™ installation style is the best of both worlds. It’s ideal where aesthetics are extremely important or where space is limited for siting gear above ground.

• Submersible design allows installation underground, out of sight. Gear can be installed exactly where needed, reducing the costs associated with trenching and unnecessarily long cable runs.
• All operating controls are located on top of the gear, easily accessible from ground level — and isolated from medium-voltage cables.
• Integral “closed-open-grounded” positions on every switch and fault interrupter allow easy isolation and grounding of cables with no exposure to medium voltage.
• One person, standing above grade, can easily perform all routine operations without handling cables or entering the underground vault.
• Eliminates added time and complication of entering a confined space.
• Certified arc resistant per IEC 60298 Annexx AA for fault currents up to 12.5kA symmetrical for 15 cycles . . . adds another level of safety for operating personnel.
