EHV Double-Break Outdoor Disconnectors (Up to 550kV)

Property Specification

Type: Extra-High-Voltage Outdoor Horizontal Double-Break Disconnector / Isolating Switch ( up to 550 kV)

Features: Engineered for maximum operational dependability and minimal upkeep, this disconnector supports system ratings up to 550 kV, continuous currents up to 5000 A, and short-time withstand currents up to 63 kA. Its low-friction kinematic linkage delivers minimal electrical contact resistance, paired with dependable interlocking mechanisms for secure performance under harsh environmental conditions. Key highlights include self-wiping contact plates that clear oxidation,

Applications: Outdoor high-voltage and extra-high-voltage substations, switchyards with narrow phase-to-phase spacing requirements, and installations constrained by low overhead or vertical clearance.
