As part of our commitment to innovation and excellence, we are thrilled to confirm the latest addition to our switchgear portfolio – CRYNO.

A 12kV pattern indoor metal enclosed vacuum AC switchgear, CRYNO has been designed to deliver the performance, reliability, and safety that BRUSH customers have come to expect.

And with a name that mean ‘compact’ in Welsh (it’s pronounced ‘Cruh-no’), where else could it be designed and built but at our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Wales!

SF₆ free and with a Notice of Conformity Certificate from the Energy Networks Association (ENA), CRYNO features award-winning magnetic actuator technology, and leverages advanced vacuum switching technology to offer superior arc interruption capabilities, enhancing safety and minimising downtime. Its fixed pattern configuration simplifies installation and maintenance, and the metal-enclosed design ensures durability and protection against indoor environmental factors, making it suitable for multiple applications.

And with streamlined design and manufacture it helps BRUSH to reduce lead times, an important factor in meeting the anticipated growth in demand as the UK accelerates its transition to net zero.

Speaking of this latest addition to our switchgear portfolio, BRUSH Group CEO, Nicolas Pitrat, said: “Our switchgear plays a vital role in maintaining the stability and reliability of electrical power systems across a wide range of applications. CRYNO is the next evolution in high-voltage switchgear technology, engineered to meet the growing demand for compact and reliable solutions for indoor installations with enhanced performance and safety.

Meet Sofia, one of our interns in 2022. Sofia’s expanded her technical knowledge, learned engineering lingo, and took her time and project management skills to the next level on her year-long Mechanical Engineering internship at BRUSH.

Find out more about Sofia’s experiences and learn what an internship at BRUSH could do for you.

Sofia joined BRUSH as an intern in Mechanical Engineering in July 2021 while at the University of Nottingham, having been told about BRUSH by her placements tutor: One of the things that made the BRUSH internship stand out from others for Sofia was how in the advertisement, it gave a step-by-step breakdown of what interns would be working on, month-to-month. “That was perfect for me,” she says. “I like to have a plan!”

“I was responsible for helping design a cooling system for a generator part, and for ensuring the project was completed successfully and on-time. I like speaking to people and bringing things together, so this was ideal for me.”

Sofia started her internship while the pandemic was still limiting the number of people who could work in the office. But she still got to meet plenty of engineers who were eager to share their knowledge and give her encouragement.

”It’s really helped to have been able to talk with them face-to-face and learn the right ‘lingo’’ she says.

“BRUSH is clearly a leader in what they do. You really get to see the high-quality products that are developed here. I’d definitely recommend BRUSH internships to people who want to get into anything electrical or power generation related.”
