When completed, it will become one of the largest traffic routes in the urban area, which will greatly alleviate the increasingly serious traffic congestion, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve sustainable development. 

For the 22kV system of the whole line, power supply service will be provided by Enerswit+-24kV, a SF6 fully insulated and fully sealed product of Xiamen Huadian Switchgear Co., Ltd.

This product is of modular design and compact structure, easy to operate and maintenance-free throughout the life cycle.  Vacuum arc-extinguishing solution is adopted for the circuit breaker to realize good electrical interruption performance, stable product performance and high reliability.

Enerswit+-24kV product has passed the type test by ASTA, an international third-party certification agency, and the corresponding reports have been obtained.

The supervisor of this Project is WSP, a British firm renowned for strictness, and the Project requirements are all implemented as per the highest European standards.
