Actom High Voltage Outdoor Disconnectors
Voltage range 11 kV to 132 kV current rating up to 1 600 amps with relevant through fault current rating up to 25 kA.
Our simple yet robust design enables easy inexpensi ve installation, maintenance and operation. All pivots are bushed with self lubricating or graphite nylon bearings. The main swivel bearing incorporates twin taper roller bearings, grease filled and sealed for life. Only switch contacts require the usual lubrication, therefore mainte nance is reduced to a minimum. The single break disconnector and operating mechanism drives are fully universal and thus are
suitable for horizontal, vertical or inverted mounting on a concrete or steel support structure. Reverse loop design fixed contact fingers of HD HC copper with silver plated contact area. Each finger is backed by a stainless steel compression spring to ensure positive contact pressure, the springs being insulated from the current path. Interchangeable moving con tacts of HC extruded copper section, the profile designed for high density current and multipoint contact. A wiping cleaning action is produced by the opening and closing operations. Aluminium main blade tube wall thickness to suit current rating clamped into hinge contact assembly. Terminal pads of aluminium or copper alloy with standard BS or NEMA four-hole fixings as required. Terminal connectors can be provided if required. Base section of galvanised steel
channel, with insulator levelling/ fixing screw on each post. Fixing holes on centre line positioned to suit customer requirements (refer to table of dimensions). Rotating post main bearing assembly incorporating well spaced double taper roller bearings, preloaded to compensate for heavy high voltage insulators. The housing is p a ck e d w i t h g r e a s e o n assembly and is sealed for life, thus eliminating further maintenance. Galvanised steel nominal bore pipe phase coupling and vertical drive rods with left hand and right hand inserts at each end and screwed eyebolts providing 50 mm length adjustment by simply rotating the rods clock wise or anti-clockwise. This feature allows wide tolerances o n d i m e n s i o n s r e ga r d i n g mounting and erection, also enabling easy alignment for synchronised gang operation of all three phase units. Hinge contact assembly allowing rotation of the blade and insulator column, whilst the terminal pad can remain stationary. The continuous current path
maintained across the hinge point by means of tinned copper laminations bolted to the main support and the terminal pad casting. Alternatively, an enclosed hinge contact assembly incorporating a copper alloy terminal stem as opposed to a terminal pad. point contact. A wiping cleaning action is produced by the opening and closing operations.
Voltage range up to 132 kV current rating up to 2 500 amps with relevant through fault current rating up to 40 kA.
The DSB disconnector is installed for sectionalising and isolating various circuits and equipment in substation systems. The double break operation is electrically superior to the single break insofar as phase spacing is concerned,
because two breaks in the series per phase are achieved. This produces a neutral potential switch blade and permits minimum phase centre mounting.
Base section of galvanised steel channel with insulator levelling/fixing bolts. Rotating centre post main bearing assembly incorporating well spaced double taper roller bearings preloaded to compen sate for heavy high voltage insulators.The housing is packed with grease on assembly and sealed for life, eliminating the need for any further mainte nance. Adjustable phase coupling and vertical drive rods allow for wide tolerances on dimensions of mounting structure. Also allows easy alignment for synchronised gang operation of all three-phase units.
