Earthing Switches
Type TEC 72,5 – 300 kV

for Outdoor Installation
Publication No. 1HPL 700 007 En

Application
Earthing switches are used for earthing and short-circuiting disconnected sections of substation or plant.
They are designed for no-load switching and are able to disconnect low charging currents. Earthing switches
type TEC are suitable for outdoor installations and can be supplied as the single-column free-standing earthing
switch or as earthing switch built-on the same base frame together with disconnector type SGF and TFB.
Thanks to the universal design, the built-on earthing switch type TEC can be attached to the disconnector type
SGF at site and it can also be retrofitted later without any difficulty.
Regulations
The TEC earthing switches comply with the publications IEC 62271-1021; IEC 60694 and most other national
regulations. They are available for rated voltages in the range 72.5 kV to 300 kV.
Design 4
The carrying constructional element of the single column 2

free-standing earthing switch is the sectional base frame.
The post insulator is assembled on the mounting plate
and supports the contact with high-voltage terminal acc to
DIN or NEMA standard.
The tubular arm is permanently connected with the
earthed frame by means of a flexible connection. In open
position the tubular contact arm is located along the base
frame.
All components are protected against atmospheric
influences; the steel parts liable to rusting are hot dip
galvanised
Mode of Operation
The earthing switch is operated separately. The design of 1
the operating linkage is such that a dead centre position
is passed through shortly before the end positions are
reached. Due to that is avoided automatic opening or
closing of the units caused by some external influences 3
(e.g. due to vibrations caused by an earthquake, short
circuits etc.).

upwards when the unit is closed. In the closed position 2 – corona protection fitting

initial tension.
Operating Mechanisms
Each three-pole earthing switch group requires only one manual or motor operating mechanism.
The operating mechanisms are fastened laterally to the base frame. For units installed on a higher level it is
possible to mount the operating mechanism within reach from the ground level by using the additional pivot
bearing and the operating shaft.
Interlocks
Motor-operated mechanism can be interlocked electrically. If required, operating mechanisms can be equipped
with the blocking magnet, which prevents any operation of the manual operating mechanism or emergency
manual operation of motor operated mechanism if there is no actuating signal from the control room. This
enables the centralised supervision over all manual operations of earthing switches in the whole substations.
Little Maintenance
Due to the selection of the materials used and the permanent lubrication the units are practically maintenance-
free. Inspections are mainly limited to components exposed to atmospheric influences.
Under normal climatic conditions the inspection intervals are every 5 years.
