Introduction
Characteristics of Gemini switchboards
A switchboard that is not
just one system, but three
Gemini is the result of design
work conducted by ABB with
the direct collaboration of
switchboard manufacturers, in-
stallers and designers who con-
sidered versatility to be the dis-
criminating element when pur-
chasing a switchboard, equally
as important as sturdiness and
reliability.
Gemini fulfils this requirement by
providing a product that can be
used for three different pur-
poses: in addition to the basic
configuration it also provides the
components necessary for
equipping it as an automation
switchboard or as a distribution
and mixed switchboard.
In all applications, compatibility
with ABB protection, control
and monitoring products means
that a real system of integrated
and complementary functions
can be configured.
Typical examples of some
Gemini applications can be
seen in installations in industrial
production departments and on
board machines, in galvaniza-
tion plants and varnishing ca-
bins, in petrol stations and car-
washing plants, boiler-rooms,
car parks, shopping malls and
in any other environments
where distribution and automa-
tion demand specific safety re-
quirements and service continuity.
Gemini also has flexible mea-
surements, with six different box
sizes and internal space to ac-
commodate from 24 to 216 DIN
modules.
To respect safety standards, all
the switchboard’s components
can be fixed to the base plate
or to the box frame without ha-
Written in full, its name “Protect IT Multipurpose Box
Gemini” says that no switchboard is more reliable.
Integration of Gemini with other ABB low voltage
protection, monitoring and control products fulfils the
objective of offering the market a complete range of
products and systems.
In particular, Industrial
IT
is the solution ABB has
developed for integrating company activities at all
levels, in which each product is seen as one element of
a single solution. Products and technologies are
grouped into functional suites, each of which
measures, monitors, optimizes and supports a specific
“block” of activities, interacting in a coordinated manner thanks to the platform
created by ABB (AIP: Aspect Integrator Platform).
Not only are all the certified products interactive, but they also ensure that all the
information needed to operate them is readily available in the latest edition:
technical characteristics, installation, user and maintenance instructions,
environmental certificates and declarations.

ving to use any tools; wiring is
carried out from the front fol-
lowed by snapping the base
plate or the frame onto the box.
The patented frame is fitted with
the cable duct incorporated in
the uprights.
In its design, Gemini repeats the
shapes and RAL 7035 grey
color of the ArTu switchboards
with which it can be configured
as a main protection switch-
board.
Experience and innovation
Gemini has two central aspects.
It is both the result of years of
work in the production of instal-
lation material and the expres-
sion of the most advanced
technology, from design to distri-
bution.
In the laboratory, computer-
aided design programs simulate
all types of application condi-
tions translating virtual checks
into a process to improve the
performances of Gemini so that
it will be able to respond more
accurately to market require-
ments.
