Advantages

Type ZX2
– Partitioned function compartments ► maximum safety
– Completely shockproof enclosures
– High voltage section totally independent of environmental
influences
– No effect of site altitude on dielectric strength
– Maximum availability for the operator
– Independence of the environment makes for extremely
long system life
– Minimum maintenance requirement
– Longer life than other system types
