Why HWX outperforms under pressure

Every panel, partition, and interlock is engineered to withstand the harshest electrical, thermal, and mechanical stress.

Operator protection first

AFLR-PM arc classification up to 40 kA—tested, verified, and trusted.

Built like a fortress

Rigid steel construction with pressure relief flaps and arc ducts routes faults safely away.

Continuous power

LSC-2B compartments maintain live continuity during circuit breaker maintenance.

Flexible configuration

Single or double busbar options for seamless changeover and bidirectional flow.

High-capacity cooling

Natural cooling up to 3150 A; forced air for 5000 A continuous load.

Quick, safe access

Front, lateral, and rear entry with removable partitions and IR inspection windows.

Seismic-ready

Certified for Zone V operation—stable even under vibration or impact.

Strength, measured in numbers

Built to IEC 62271 series and ISO standards—precision-engineered for endurance, protection, and peak performance.
