Premset-C — Schneider Premset 24 kV Gas-Insulated MV Switchgear
The Schneider Electric Premset is a 24 kV gas-insulated, arc-resistant medium-voltage switchgear assembly combining circuit breaker, bus bar, and measurement positions in a modular, factory-assembled lineup that achieves the highest level of arc fault safety (IAC A FL rated per IEC 62271-200) in a footprint up to 40% smaller than equivalent air-insulated metal-clad switchgear. Premset's single-pressure SF6 gas system requires no annual gas monitoring — each functional unit is hermetically sealed with a 30-year design life gas retention — eliminating the H&S risk of SF6 gas handling and the maintenance cost of periodic pressure checks that characterise conventional gas-insulated switchgear. The modular design allows bay-by-bay extension of the switchgear lineup without modifying existing installed bays, supporting Saudi Arabia's fast-growing industrial and utility substation capacity expansion programmes.
Premset is IEC 62271-200 rated for 25 kA short-circuit withstand and incorporates Schneider's EasyPact EVB vacuum circuit breaker as standard — rated for 10,000 fault-breaking operations without maintenance, a critical advantage at industrial sites where frequent fault operations deplete conventional SF6 circuit breaker maintenance intervals rapidly. The EcoStruxure Power connected switchgear option adds IIoT sensors for real-time SF6 density, contact wear, and bus temperature monitoring — feeding predictive maintenance data to Schneider's EcoStruxure Power Operations platform and eliminating the need for periodic substation condition assessment visits at remote Saudi locations.
In Saudi Arabia, Premset GIS switchgear is specified for Class-A commercial building primary substations in Riyadh's King Abdullah Financial District, hospital and healthcare facility primary substations where arc-resistant MV switchgear is mandated by NFPA 70E and SEC requirements, and ARAMCO facility primary substations where the limited switchroom space available in process plant buildings makes the compact Premset footprint a decisive specification advantage. NEOM's underground utility infrastructure benefits from Premset's space efficiency and maintenance-free design to minimise underground substation chamber dimensions.
Razz Middle East supplies Premset GIS switchgear with full SEC documentation, Sepam and ION meter integration, factory acceptance testing witness, and site commissioning by certified Schneider MV switchgear engineers. We provide long-term service contracts including annual functional test, protection relay settings review, and EcoStruxure Power platform subscription management for critical Saudi facility substations.

Key Features & Benefits
- IAC A FL arc-fault-resistant rating per IEC 62271-200 protects substation personnel against internal arc fault events — mandatory for hospital and high-occupancy building primary substations in Saudi Arabia.
- Hermetically sealed SF6 cells with 30-year design life eliminate annual gas monitoring visits and SF6 handling H&S risk, reducing lifetime maintenance cost versus conventional gas-insulated switchgear.
- EasyPact EVB vacuum circuit breaker rated for 10,000 fault-breaking operations without maintenance dramatically extends maintenance intervals at industrial sites with high fault frequency.
- Footprint up to 40% smaller than equivalent air-insulated switchgear reduces substation room civil construction cost and enables installation in compact underground switchrooms at NEOM and hospital projects.
- Modular bay extension without modification of existing installed bays supports Saudi industrial and utility substation capacity expansion without replacing existing switchgear investment.
- EcoStruxure Power IIoT sensor option monitors SF6 density, contact wear, and bus temperature in real time, enabling predictive maintenance scheduling and eliminating reactive condition assessment visits.
- Single-source integration with Sepam protection relays and ION energy meters from Schneider eliminates multi-vendor interface complexity and provides a single commissioning team for complete substation fit-out.
Industrial Applications in Saudi Arabia
- King Abdullah Financial District Class-A commercial tower primary substations in Riyadh, where arc-resistant Premset satisfies SEC supply authority and NFPA 70E safety requirements for high-occupancy building MV switchgear.
- Ministry of Health hospital primary substations across the Kingdom, where IAC A FL arc-resistant switchgear is mandated by the Saudi health ministry electrical specification for all medical facility primary distribution.
- Saudi Aramco process plant primary substations at Dhahran, Ras Tanura, and Jubail facilities, where compact Premset footprint accommodates primary substation within the limited available space of process building electrical rooms.
- NEOM underground utility substation infrastructure, where Premset's space efficiency and 30-year maintenance-free design minimise underground substation chamber dimensions and lifecycle costs.
- Red Sea Project resort island primary substations, where arc-resistant, maintenance-free Premset eliminates the need for trained switchgear maintenance personnel to be permanently stationed at remote island locations.
- Ma'aden mining facility primary substations at Wa'ad Al-Shamal, where Premset's dust-resistant hermetic design is essential in the mineral processing environment.
- Data centre primary substation switchgear for STC, Mobily, and international cloud provider facilities in Riyadh, where arc-resistant MV switchgear and IIoT monitoring satisfy Tier III/IV operational resilience requirements.
