ACTOM OUTDOOR DISCONNECTORS


Single Side Break (SSB) Disconnector 22-132 kV, 8001600 A, 25 kA - 3s

Typical bearing assembly.

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

Single Side Break (SSB) Disconnector 22-132 kV, 8001600 A, 25 kA - 3s


The double break disconnector and manual operating mechanism drives are fully universal and therefore are suitable for horizontal or vertical mounting. The DSB features the following: Reverse loop contact fingers made from silver plated HD HC copper. Each contact finger is backed by a stainless steel insulated compression spring to give positive contact pressure. 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 to suit current rating is directly bolted to the rotating centre post. Terminal pads of aluminium or copper alloy with standard BS or NEMA four-hole fixings are required. All copper components are heavily tinned over areas in contact with aluminium.

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.

Options
Integral earth blades with mechanical key interlocks. Motor operating mechanism

w h i ch c a n a l s o b e f u l l y mechanically interlocked with other substation devices such as circuit breakers.

Remote control via radio telemetry units. Vertical or inverted mounting.

Assisted Entry Blade (AEB) earth switch 33-132 kA


Earth blade type AEB is either supplied as a triple pole gang operated unit for integral mounting with all types of disconnector or as a triple or single phase assembly for use as a separately mounted earth switch. When supplied for integral mounting with disconnectors, an intergrated interlock is always provided to ensure that the switch cannot be closed while the main disconnector is closed, and vice versa. In the case of a separately mounted earth switch, key interlocks can be fitted to the operating mechanism as required to provide interlocking with other equipment. Please refer to separate leaflet for mechanism used with type DEB earth blade. 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. One or two pairs of fingers fitted dependent on the through fault current rating. 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 blade. Adjustable blade enabling over top dead centre positioning of blade locking and driver levers. Tinned copper laminated flexible shunt conductors bolted to the main blade and to a terminal pad for earth mat connection.

Voltage range 66 kV to 132 kV through fault current rating up to 40 kA.

Manual torque operating mechanism Type MT


Torque mechanism
The torque operating mechanism is designed for manual gang operation of all rotating post disconnectors. The operating handle is of a lift up/ walk round type with a 180 angle of operation.The vertical operating rod position is fully adjustable by the clamping and piercing screw feature on the mechanism output coupling. Padlocking facilities for both fully open and fully closed positions are incorporated and up to four key interlocks can be fitted to allow any sequence of interlocked operation. In addition, an integral mounted auxiliary switch assembly is available with normally open/normally c l o s e d c i r c u i t s a rr a n g e d a s required.
