Schneider Electric has announced the global launch of its latest product, MCSeT with EvoPacT, which is now produced at the company’s facility in Cikarang, West Java (27/5).

This marks the first global production center for the solution, highlighting Indonesia’s strategic role in advancing smarter and more connected energy infrastructure.

Martin Setiawan, President Director for Indonesia & Timor Leste, stated, “The launch of MCSeT with EvoPacT is part of Schneider’s commitment to support the modernization of Indonesia’s power distribution infrastructure with smart, safe, and digitally connected technology”.

Advanced Digital Integration and Proactive Maintenance

The new MCSeT with EvoPacT is available in 12, 17.5, and 24 kV variants, each equipped with integrated sensors and native connectivity.

These sensors enable real-time monitoring through IoT technology, detecting 63% of potential downtime scenarios and allowing maintenance to be planned based on actual conditions.

From manufacturing, the MCSeT is embedded with connected sensors to facilitate condition-based maintenance.

Supported by Schneider Electric’s EcoCare service, users gain technical assistance, early notifications, and data-driven recommendations to keep the system operating optimally.

This innovation helps detect issues such as poor electrical connections, insulation damage, or declining circuit breaker components, potentially reducing maintenance costs by up to 40%.

Sustainability and Performance Enhancements

The MCSeT with EvoPacT features an optimized design that uses 20% less raw material.

It incorporates a high-performance circuit breaker that no longer requires SF6 gas, a potent greenhouse gas, reflecting Schneider Electric’s commitment to environmental responsibility.

The EvoPacT HVX circuit breaker has a significantly longer lifespan than previous generations, capable of handling up to five times more switching cycles.

This improvement reduces maintenance needs, replacements, and possible downtime.

Improved Safety with Digital Remote Operations

The MCSeT also enhances operator safety by allowing digital control of key functions like circuit breaker operation, racking, and grounding switch activation through an HMI or mobile application.

Wireless sensor connectivity enables these operations to be performed remotely, reducing risks associated with arc flash zones.
