Applications
Gemini is a new Distribution and Control&Command insulating switchboard
Gemini can be used for different applications for commercial and industrial sectors (and for some residential applications):
Control & Command (automation) of machinery, apparatus,… Distribution (with traditional use of modular apparatus) By using partial plates to be inserted in the frame, Gemini can
also be used for mixed applications

Standards and approvals
The Gemini enclosures fully comply with the requirements of the EN 50298 (IMQ approval) and IEC 60670, and allow the configuration of boards required by IEC 60439-1 Standard
EN 50298 “Empty enclosures for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear
assemblies. General requirements.”
IEC 60439-1 “Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies. Part 1 –
Type tested and partially type-tested assemblies”

IP degree: IP66
Gemini has a very high degree of protection
The IP degree indicates the degree of protection against the penetration of solid bodies (first digit) and against water penetration (second digit) The 1st “6” means “totally dust proof” (no dust can
penetrate)
The 2nd “6” means protected against jets of water similar to sea waves

Double insulation and IK degree
Gemini is an insulating enclosure. The double insulation symbol means that Gemini provides a protection against indirect contacts.
The mechanical resistance is 20 Joule. This means that Gemini reaches the highest range of the IK degree: IK10 (EN 50102)

Glow Wire Test
Self-extinguishing degree of protection
GWT (Glow wire Test, according to IEC 60695-2-1 Standards): simulates the types of thermal stress in order to assess the danger of fire using a simulation.
Gemini reaches a test temperature of 750°C

Environment
Gemini was born with a design goal of total recycling capacity: a radical change introduced into a sector dominated by a material not recyclable, such as polyester. A LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) report has been compiled
during the design phase
Gemini has adequate instructions on how to dispose the product at the end of its life
Overview
The use of thermoplastic material has led to the production of a switchboard which is 100% ecologically compatible

Material innovations
Almost all the competitors are offering GRP (glass reinforced polyester) switchboards: Gewiss: 46QP series
Hager: Londra series
Legrand: Marina series
Schneider/Sarel: Thalassa series
GE/Vynckier: Aria series
Himel: Polymel series
Only Scame offers a thermoplastic switchboard (traditional single injection process)

Material innovations
The Gemini thermoplastic material versus GRP: has the same sturdiness
has the same mechanical features
has the same resistance to oils
plus: keeps its mechanical features over time is safe to handle (there are problems in polyester
panels due to the glass fibre contained in the GRP coming to the surface)
is completely recyclable

Material innovations
The environmental friendliness and safety are major issues to which utility companies, top GRP boxes users, are more and more sensitive

Process innovations
The co injection process allows to get a sandwich of two materials, with a compact external skin and an expanded core
Innovationfactors
Advantages : Allows to obtain a product less heavy than GRP:
average –20% Allows to use 5/6 mm thickness for the box, so the sturdiness is the same of the GRP products

Ordering information
You have two different ways to order the Gemini switchboards: a single code that comprises both box
and door (transparent or opaque) in the “same package”. The door is not yet assembled: first you complete the wiring and then you assemble the door
different codes for boxes and doors, managed separately: this allows to optimize the wholesalers’ shelf room
