Center-Break Outdoor Disconnectors (Up to 245kV )

Property Specification

Type: High-Voltage Outdoor Horizontal Center-Break Disconnector / Isolating Switch (up to 245 kV)

Features: Engineered for maximum operational dependability with minimal upkeep, this isolating switch operates up to ratings of 245 kV, 3150 A, and 50 kA short-circuit withstand. It features a low-friction mechanical movement that ensures exceptionally low electrical contact resistance. Key attributes include self-wiping contact surfaces that clear oxidation and debris, corrosion-resistant stainless steel springs to maintain stable contact force, an advanced mechanical interlock system for enhanced safety during extreme site conditions, and high ice-breaking capabilities for severe environmental operation.

Applications: Outdoor high-voltage transmission and distribution substations, grid switching stations, feeder and busbar isolation, and flexible substation layouts where a versatile, straightforward, and reliable center-break isolating mechanism is required.
