MNS® Compact

MNS® Compact

Cost-efficient solutions for power distribution

MNS Compact integrates the XT range of molded circuit breakers to provide a high-density solution of up to 36 power circuits per section. The space-saving design enables a footprint reduction of up to 65% compared to standard type switchgear configurations.

MNS Compact utilizes the same frame and busbar system from the wider MNS portfolio providing maintenance free construction therefore reducing operation costs. The multifunction separation wall and main contact system is also utilized enabling online re-configuration, where operational procedures allow.

MNS Digital is available across the entire MNS portfolio providing a common look and feel for the user irrespective of the digitally enabled devices in the switchgear application. Enabling control, data acquisition (gathering) and reporting from the complete application. This information is then available via ABB Ability™ Condition Monitoring for electrical systems or 3rd party energy management systems in order to achieve operational savings through increased efficiency.
