TMX VERTICAL BREAK SWITCH...FIELD-UPGRADABLE,
UTILITY EXTREME PERFORMANCE
Vertical Break Switches perform a basic function for the utility designer. They are the visible break necessary to satisfy
safety regulations while working on de-energized lines. When equipped with current-interrupting enhancements, they
provide full load-break capability.
Turner’s TMX aluminum vertical air break switch is a rear rotating stack, group operated, heavy duty switch. Turner’s TMX
switch also sets the quality and performance standard that other switch manufacturer’s try to attain.
Vertical Break switch requirements are simple:
• Meet rating requirements.
• Operate easily regardless of conditions.
• Operate for the lifetime of the installation
Turner has added one more:
• Be easily upgradeable in the field, without removing the switch from
its mounting.
Utilities may increase the current carrying capacity of their TMX switches
from 1200A to 2000A or 3000A in minutes by simply adding contacts and
changing the switch blade.
The TMX family of switches uses common components throughout the
switch to minimize customer’s inventory requirements and decrease production lead times.

Blade Action
Rotating blade open and close action breaks the switch contacts free of ice and other environmental contaminants,
without damaging the contact surfaces or switch blade.
The blade counterbalance spring is incorporated within the tubular housing, virtually eliminating environmental concerns
and improving safety.
It is field-adjustable and available for vertical, horizontal, and underhung mounting configurations. All current carrying
components are either silver-plated copper alloy or high conductivity aluminum alloy.
Factory set blade stops assure proper positioning of blades in both the open and closed positions. The perfectly
counterbalanced blade can be stopped in any intermediate position, from fully closed to fully open, without danger of the
blade falling into the closed position.
The entire drive mechanism is factory sealed against the elements, assuring permanent adjustments and eliminating time-
consuming maintenance in that area.

Turner TMX vertical break switches employ reverse-loop contacts and patented
rotating blade technology to securely close into and hold the blade in the switch jaws.

Hinge Mechanism
Turner’s method of enclosing the hinge mechanism protects the threaded, silver-to-silver contact surfaces from
environmental concerns, which minimizes maintenance requirements.

Reverse-Loop Contact Design
The field-proven, reverse-loop contacts employ the natural repulsion of magnetic fields moving in opposite directions to
increase the holding force against the blade contact surface.
Increasing current flow, such as in fault conditions, increases the magnetic repulsion, which creates a high pressure force
on the blade tip, holding the blade in the jaw.

Blade and Jaw Contacts


TMX switch contacts feature high-conductivity, tin-plated copper fingers with silver-plated current carrying mating
surfaces. Contacts are reinforced with non-current carrying stainless steel back up springs. Blade tips are silver-plated
copper that are easily replaced.

Control Mechanism
TMX switches are operated with universal control mechanisms that adapt to any type of structure.
Manual swing handle controls are furnished as standard equipment with each switch unit. Manual worm gear operators are
also available.
TMX switches can be remotely controlled using motor operators. The operators provide high-torque electro-mechanical
operation with 10,000 inch/pounds or 20,000 inch/pounds as required by the switch size. Motors are available in 24VDC,
48VDC, 125VDC and 120VAC.

Leveling
Jacking bolts are provided on all insulators to meet any special leveling needs.

Bearings
The main pivot bearing assembly consists of two tapered roller bearings, which are adjusted and factory lubricated. They
require no further attention for the life of the switch. These bearings are protected with a permanent o-ring seal and plug.

Terminal Pads
Connections are predrilled, 4-hole NEMA mounting points, integral to the extruded aluminum frame. The design easily
accommodates dual conductor or heavy bus loading on each end. We exceed ANSI
standards, supplying three mounting surfaces.

Bases
Standard 115kV and above bases are constructed from one-piece extruded, square
tube. Under 115kV, bases are constructed from single channel. Bases are hot-dipped,
galvanized steel; easily adaptable for mounting on steel or wood structures.

Mounting
Turner Electric’s TMX switch’s extreme duty construction, ease of operation, and
installation make it perfect for demanding substation and line operations such as line dropping, isolating breakers, and
demagnetizing transformers.
No matter what the application, these switches can be mounted upright, vertically, or underhung.

DELTA STAR TMK40A VERTICAL BREAK SWITCHES
PROVIDE RELIABILITY ON DEMAND

Standards
TMK40A aluminum EHV vertical break switches are rated 345kV through 800kV at amperage ratings of 2000, 3000, and
4000. These switches have been tested to meet the requirements of the latest revisions of ANSI and NEMA standards. It
is recognized that, over the past several decades, these switches have undergone design variations intended to meet a
different set of criteria, particularly temperature rise requirements. Some system requirements include adherence to earlier
standards for the purposes of uniformity of equipment. Whenever possible, every effort will be made to provide switches
adhering to those earlier standards.
Turner TMK40A vertical break switches have found a home on electrical systems around the world. In recent years,
international practice has been to use IEC Standards for electrical systems. Our TMK40A air break switches meet or
exceed applicable IEC Standards.

Design Features
Live parts for the TMK40A vertical air break switches are fabricated from aluminum alloys with tinned copper moving
contact interchanges. These switches are designed for upright mounting.
Our construction results in a perfectly counterbalanced blade that can be stopped in any intermediate position from fully
closed to fully open without danger of the blade falling into the closed position.

Fully Controlled Blade Mechanism


The fully controlled blade mechanism of the switches is simple in construction and extremely rugged. It consists of three
moving parts that keep the blade under positive control during the entire operating cycle. Double rows of stainless steel
balls running on machined races are used throughout to assure ease of operation.
Factory sealing of the entire drive mechanism assures permanent adjustments and eliminates maintenance for the life of
the switch.

High Pressure Contacts


The switches utilize the same type of contacts at both the hinge end and the jaw ends. They are of the high pressure point
design and are fully accessible for easy inspection and maintenance. Contact shoes are constructed of hard drawn copper
with heavy silver inlays, fully tinned after fabrication. Inlays are brazed in position to assure a permanent high conductivity
bond. Point contact is established at the interface of the round surface of the blade and silver inlay.
Contact Pressure is provided by stainless steel,
multiple leaf springs located outside the current path.
Stainless steel bolts and lock washers are used to bolt
the contact shoes and springs to the castings.

Positive Closed Position Lock


A closed position lock is provided to eliminate blade
movement even during severe short circuit conditions.
As the blade enters the contact jaws and rotates, the
blade edges engage the offset in the contact shoes,
locking the blade in position. A positive engagement
of the blade and contact shoe offset is accomplished
by a disc attached to the contact spreader pin. On
opening, the blade is rotated away from the contact
shoe offset, leaving the blade free to rise.

1TSB ALUMINUM SIDE BREAK SWITCH...JAWS OF STEEL

Like the Silvertip Shark’s double row of teeth, Turner’s TSB switch jaw contacts increase
their holding power under resistance.
Reverse-loop, silver plated copper jaw contacts employ the natural repulsion of magnetic
fields moving in opposite directions to exert holding forces against the blade edges.
In fault conditions, the increased current flow increases the magnetic repulsion, which
creates a high pressure force on the blade tip, holding the blade in the jaw.
The aluminum tubular blade design provides the proper combination of current carrying capacity and rigidity. Silver-plated
copper blade tips are easily field-replaceable, as are the stationary and moving arcing horns.
The gentle ways of the Silvertip shark earned it the name of the “gentleman shark.” TSB switches gently close into position,
with the blade tip engaging in the jaws at a 30 degree angle, then rotating to engage the jaw contacts. They are not
“slammed” under force into the contacts.
Both the blade and jaw contacts are wiped clean during the closing action to ensure a low resistance current transfer. A
heavy-duty static blade-locking device keeps the blade closed despite temporary faults or surge currents.
The static lock is released during the switch opening sequence, as the blade rotates 30 degrees in the jaw. This action,
exclusive to Turner’s TSB switches, breaks up contamination and ice up to 3/4”, and releases the contact friction, allowing
the blade to easily be removed from the contacts.

The TSB switch from Turner uses reverse-loop


contacts and rotating blade technology to securely
close into and hold the blade in the switch jaws.

Hinge Mechanism
The hinge end of the switch is enclosed to permanently protect it from the elements and offers a continuous current
carrying path. There are only two current transfer points in the hinge. The terminal pad is threaded to a stationary contact
block creating a spring loaded, silver to silver connection.

Upgrade-Ability
Switch current rating upgrades are easily and economically accomplished in minutes by even inexperienced line crews.
Ratings can be increased from 600 amps to 1200 amps to 2000 amps simply by changing the blade tube and adding
bolt-on contact fingers to the jaw.

Bearings
The main pivot bearing assembly consists of two tapered roller bearings, which are adjusted and factory lubricated. They
require no further attention for the life of the switch. These bearings are protected with a permanent o-ring seal and plug.

Leveling
Leveling screws are provided on the moveable and stationary insulator mounting flange to facilitate easy alignment of
the insulator stacks. Adjusting the moveable mount leveling screws raises or lowers the end of the switch blade allowing
simple, correct blade to jaw contact interface

Blade Position Indicator


Utilities need to know when a switch is closed correctly. As
an optional feature, Turner developed a new blade position
indicator. The indicator is fully integrated in the True Turn
Technology and provides positive visual confirmation that the
blade contacts are securely locked in the jaw contacts.

1D SWITCHES...COPPER CONSTRUCTION, FIELD PROVEN PERFORMANCE

Turner “D” switches are one of the most versatile, severe-duty, switching products available. The flexible mounting ability
makes it ideal in phase-over-phase, delta and phase-next-to-phase configurations on poles, platforms, and substation
structures. Transmission, substation, and platform mounted switches are extremely difficult and costly to remove and
service, so turner’s philosophy is to design in reliability.
Its simplistic, easily-mounted construction and flexible configurations make it truly a switch for all reasons. A rigid, hard
drawn copper blade with patented locking devise, silver-to-copper contacts, double spring arcing horns and sealed
hinge contacts provide heavy-duty construction. Add to this Turner’s 60 plus years of field proven experience in air break
switches and you have maximum switching reliability. Two insulator stack construction instead of the traditional three
reduces the cost of material, assembly and installation. This all adds up to what we call Switchability!
Turner Type “D” switches can be used for station isolating and bypassing,
distribution and transmission line sectionalizing or isolating arrestors,
metering equipment and other apparatus. Right hand or left hand
opening can be specified at time of order. They are easily upgraded for
automatic operation and load breaking. Several factory designs and
fabricated steel and aluminum switch mounting platforms are available
for various line designs, custom designs are also available.

Type “D” Operating Features


Type “D” switches are operated from ground level with a standard 2” IPS
steel vertical operating pipe assembly with a manual swing handle lever.
The control lever incorporates a ground shunt, is padlockable and can
be supplied for clockwise or counterclockwise operation. A steel shaft
with self piercing set screw clevises is used for coupling and pinning
the switch. Electric motor operators are available for remote, automatic
or SCADA control. Turning the operating lever rotates the main vertical
operating shaft which moves the insulator stack with the main contact blade. The turning motion rotates the contact
blade to facilitate a smooth, effortless positive opening motion. This action releases contact pressure within the spring jaw
assembly which helps maintain a clean contact surface, and enhances ice or contamination breaking action.
During closing, the main blade contacts remain in the straight or “cammed up” position, allowing effective contact
cleaning. A locking devise holds the blade securely in the jaw.
Double spring quick-whips interrupt limited amounts of charging or load currents when opening. Arcing is kept away from
main contact surfaces. If the magnitude of the current exceeds the quick-whip capability, a TECO-Rupter full load break
vacuum interrupter is available.

Hinge Mechanism
The current carrying path on the hinge end of the switch is
continuous and enclosed to permanently project if from the
elements. The terminal pad is threaded to a stationary contact
block; the connection is spring loaded, silver to silver. As the switch
rotates during the opening and closing cycle, the terminal pad is
held in place by the conductor and the switch can move without
restriction. Inside the hinge housing, current transfer from the
stationary block to the moveable blade is through a series of silver
contact fringes. Beryllium Copper backing springs apply continuous
pressure around the contact shoes. This hinge configuration assures
maximum service life and minimum maintenance.

618.797.5000 | TURNER ELECTRIC | turnerswitch.com | January 2016 Page 15


Jaw Contacts and Blade
The high constant pressure contact shoes are of cast, heat-treated, high conductivity Beryllium Copper. Although
contact pressure is factory adjusted, should field adjustment ever be necessary, it can easily be made. In addition, contact
replacement is fast and easy.
The tubular blade is designed of hard-drawn copper to provide the proper combination of current-carrying capacity and
rigidity. The blade tip is Beryllium Copper, heat-treated and strato-milled to provide a machined current transfer surface.
The coin silver overlays provide high pressure, silver to copper contact with the Beryllium Copper jaw surfaces when the tip
is in the jaw.
The blade tip engages the jaw contacts in an upright position to form a high-pressure contact. The blade and jaw contacts
are wiped clean during the closing action to assure a low resistance current transfer. A blade locking device keeps the
blade closed despite temporary faults, surges, twisting structures or galloping conductors. Double spring type quick whips
provide interruption of limited amounts of charging and load currents.
The opening action of the Turner D Style Transmission switch is unique. Prior to the blade disengaging from the jaw
contact, the blade contact rotates 22 degrees in the jaw. This exclusive Turner Action releases all contact friction and
breaks any ice or contamination in the jaw area which may impede an easy opening cycle. The Turner switch provides
effortless switch opening regardless of environmental or time effects.

Main Bearing Assembly


The main pivot bearing assembly consists of two tapered roller
bearings, which are adjusted and lubricated at the factory and
require no further attention for the life of the switch. These
bearings are protected with a permanent o-ring seal and plug.
Four leveling screws are provided on the base of each insulator
stack to facilitate easy alignment after assembling the insulators
on the switch. Adjusting the screws raises or lowers the end of the
switch blade and orients the blade for correct interface.
Tightening the insulator bolts holds the alignment fast. Leveling
screws are also provided on all stationary insulator pedestals.

Mounting Flexibility
To accommodate the variety of substation structures and locations, Turner offers a variety of operating and mounting
configurations. Controls can be supplied for clockwise or counterclockwise opening if required, or may be changed in the
field as required.
Turner’s standard operating mechanism for side break switches consists of vertical steel operating pipe, with or without
an 8 foot fiberglass insulating section, and a steel or fiberglass interphase shaft with self-piercing set screw clevises for
coupling and pinning the switch crank arm and vertical pipe guides.

TDEB DOUBLE END BREAK SWITCH WITH TRUE TURN TECHNOLOGY

The Turner Double End Break (TDEB) switch design addresses many of the shortcomings of existing product offerings.
Many current designs allow the switch blades to roll over from the open to the closed position prematurely, prior to being
firmly seated into the jaw contacts. With Turner’s True Turn Technology, the switch blade design will not rotate prematurely
during the open or close operation. No matter how the switch is adjusted or operated, the blade tips will always remain
rotated in the open position until the blade tips are fully engaged in the jaw contacts, delivering unmatched performance
and reliability. The Turner TDEB is available from 34kV to 345kV and up to 3000 amperes. Its ease of installation and
operation, combined with the True Turn Technology make it the Double End Break of choice.
Since the blade potential is about 40 percent of the normal line-to-ground voltage when the blades are open, the TDEB
switch can be used at the same phase spacing as the vertical break switch. As a result, structure width can be minimized
and overhead clearance is diminished due to the side blade opening characteristics.

Construction
Heavy-duty construction, proven reliability and ease of
operation, make the family of TDEB switches perfect
for demanding substation and line operations requiring
breaker isolation and bypassing; transmission line and bus
sectionalizing; and isolating arrestors, metering equipment
and other apparatus.
Internal construction is simple. The blade is the current path;
no need to worry about complex hinge transfer points.
The maintenance free bearing assembly on the rotating
center stack provides smooth, easy operation in either the
horizontal or vertical mounting configuration.
Group operation is accomplished with an interphase pipe,
group operated control pipe, outboard bearing, vertical
operating pipe and swing handle as standard. Worm gear Simple Construction: the blade is the current path,
operators and motor operators are also available. no complex hinge transfer points.

Reverse Loop Contacts Reverse Loop Contacts


Reverse loop, silver-plated copper jaw contacts employ
the natural repulsion of magnetic fields moving in opposite
directions to exert holding forces against the blade edges.
In fault conditions, the increased current flow increases the
pressure, retaining the blade in the jaw.

Blade
The aluminum tubular blade design provides the perfect
combination of current carrying capacity and rigidity. Silver-
plated blade tips are easily field replaceable, as are the
stationary and moving arcing horns.
TDEB switches gently close into position, with the blade
tip engaging the jaws at a 30 degree angle, then rotating
to engage the jaw contacts. The True Turn Technology prevents the blades from prematurely rolling over to the closed
position prior to being seated securely in the jaw contacts. No slamming action is required to force the blades closed. Both
the blade and the jaw contacts are wiped clean during the closing action to ensure a low resistance current transfer.

TCV2: LOWER COSTS AND STATION PROFILE;
REDUCED CARBON FOOTPRINT

Turner TCV2 switches are heavy-duty, rotating stack, group operated, aluminum center break designs. Two insulator stacks,
instead of the traditional three, reduces the cost of materials, assembly, and installation.
Turner has accumulated more than 50 years of proven field experience in air break switches. That means you get an
easily installed, easily operated switch that provides maximum mechanical and electrical performance under all operating
conditions.
Its heavy duty construction, proven reliability, and ease of operation make the TCV2 switch perfect for demanding
substation and line operations such as breaker isolating and bypassing; transmission line and bus sectionalizing; isolating
arrestors, metering equipment and other apparatus.
The 600 ampere switch can easily be upgraded to 1200 ampere rating.
Internal construction is simple and virtually maintenance free. The design provides smooth, easy operation, regardless of
the switch mounting position.
TCV2 switches can be mounted in any configuration; horizontal, vertical, or underhung. The low profile, side opening
design makes it ideal for low overhead clearance applications. The “V” style switch reduces base mounting requirements,
lowering structure costs.
Concerns over station designs and appearances can be minimized due to the TCV2’s low profile design.
Right hand or left hand can be specified at the time of order.
Group operation is accomplished with an interphase pipe, control pipe, outboard bearing, vertical operating pipe and
swing handle operator.

Switch Operation
Moving parts in the blade assembly are restricted to only one area. The terminal pad to blade interface is threaded, silver
plated and spring loaded to ensure optimal current transfer, as well as corrosion and contamination resistance.
Arc transfer is easily accomplished with simple, easily maintained, stainless steel arcing horns. The horns are located away
from the main contacts, eliminating any potential damage to critical current carrying surfaces.
An optional quick whip assembly enhances the ability of the switch to drop line or bus charging currents, as well as
transformer magnetizing currents.

TECO-RUPTERS SAVE MAINTENANCE, DOWNSTREAM EQUIPMENT, AND
THE ENVIRONMENT

No Maintenance Required
Vacuum bottles are 100% tested in the factory, not once, but three times, before shipment to the customer. According to
the manufacturer’s records, “once a Vacuum Interrupter is in the field for 3 to 5 years, it will be vacuum tight for life. During
those early years, there is less than 1 chance in 1,000,000 of a vacuum leak occurring.” 1
There is no scheduled maintenance required with a TECO-Rupter. Once installed, it will remain ready for duty until called
upon to interrupt load current, magnetizing current, transformer current, loop or parallel circuits or split ties in either a
substation or a transmission application.
Unlike alternate dielectric interrupters, TECO-Rupters do not have to be checked annually to confirm proper gas pressure
or presence of oil.

Vacuum Bottles Do Not Vent to the Atmosphere


Unlike interruption dielectrics that vent greenhouse gases to the environment, vacuum bottles vent
nothing. Current interruption and arc extinction occur in the void of the vacuum, leaving no ash,
residue, or by product.
Continued focus on maintaining a clean environment for current and future generations is clearly a
desirable attribute for anyone charged with designing apparatus. There are choices in interrupting
dielectrics today. We believe in making the clean choice—vacuum.

TECO-RUPTER VACUUM CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER
For more than 35 years, Turner Electric’s TECO-Rupter Vacuum Interrupters have been the technology of choice for loop
and load break applications because of their current interrupting ability, superior reliability, and ease of application. The
TECO-Rupter offers industry leading performance levels including superior TRV ratings comparted to other load break
technologies such as SF6, longer service life, and greater interrupting capacity. No other load break device provides 5,000
full load operations at either 2,000 or 3,000 ampere ratings and a TRV rating up to 80kV.

The pick-up finger engages the actuator rod creating a parallel current path. At a pre-determined point, the vacuum
contacts separate, interrupting the circuit.

TECO-RUPTERS offer the following advantages over other technologies:


Long Life and Maintenance-Free Operation:
Controlled contact erosion results in long electrical life. Contacts are enclosed within the vacuum Interrupter. More
than a million vacuum contacts remain in use.
Durable Housing

New long life fiberglass housing is lightweight yet strong. It is treated with UV inhibiting
paint preventing “blooming”.
Excellent Sticking Resistance
Hard contact material minimizes contact sticking in vacuum and is ideal for high current
applications.
No Atmospheric Contact Contamination
No oxides and corrosion layers can form on the contacts.
No Environmental Effects
Current interruption occurs in a vacuum; no greenhouse or toxic gases are emitted as in
the application of SF6 based interruption technology.
Very Low Current Chop
The low average cutoff current results in a minimal induced transient voltage spike so that
surge suppressors are not required.
Excellent Design
Simple design = lower maintenance time and cost versus SF6 puffer technology.
Contacts
Rated at 250,000 mechanical operations and at 5,000 full load voltage operations.
No Noise, No Flash
Arcing is confined inside the vacuum interrupter.

TECO-RUPTER APPLICATIONS
The Turner TECO-Rupter vacuum circuit interrupter is offered as an attachment to the Turner switch, as well as designs
of other switch manufacturers. The interrupter can be attached to vertical break, side break, hooksticks, and center break
switch designs. Different models of the TECO-Rupter can interrupt various types of circuits..

Loop Splitting or Parallel Break


Normally, these are single vacuum contact devices that can
interrupt up to 2000 amps (type RLS) and 3000 amps (type
RLM) and 230kV, under parallel conditions. In this case, rated
voltage will still exist on both sides of the switch after the
open operation. The peak recovery voltage must not exceed
50kV RMS for the single contact Type RLS or 80kV RMS
for the Type RLM. More contacts can be added to address
higher recovery voltages. Please consult the factory. Type
RLS and RLB TECORupters can interrupt up to 2000 amps
up to 230kV and Type RLM TECO-Rupters can interrupt up to
3000 amps up to 230kV.

Line Charging
A full voltage multiple stack interrupter may be utilized from 15kV through 230kV for interruption of line or bus charging
currents and transformer magnetizing currents up to a value of 100 amps at 0% power factor, capacitive or inductive.
The nameplate operating current of the switch is not a factor in the application of this device. Type RLS and RLM TECO-
Rupters can interrupt up to 100 amps of line charging current up to 34kV while the Type RLB can interrupt 100 amps up to
230kV.

Load Interruption
A full voltage multiple stack interrupter may be applied from 15kV through 230kV for interruption of actual load current at
70% power factor. Type RLS TECO-Rupters can interrupt 2000 amps up to 34kV, Type RLM can interrupt 3000 amps up
to 34kV and Type RLB can interrupt 2000 amps up to 230kV. The TECO-Rupter is only in the circuit momentarily during
the opening sequence. Contact test studs are located on the exterior of the housing and allow for an independent Hi-Pot
test of each vacuum contact with the actuating arm.

Testing and Quality Assurance


Every TECO-Rupter undergoes complete testing before leaving the factory. The test includes a dielectric test, resistance
check and three separate vacuum assurance tests. Strict documentation is kept to enable backtracking of contact
materials.

Ordering Information
There are currently more than 1,000 pre-engineered designs to retrofit TECO-Rupter to other manufacturers’ switches. To
see if we have one designed for your application, please contact your local representative or the factory and provide the
following information:
• Switch manufacturer
• Catalog number
• kV and current ratings
If we don’t have one, we can design one for you. The design and set up is free. Our engineering staff and design team will
develop a pre-engineered kit that will reduce field modification, human error, and installation time.

MOTOR OPERATORS

Design
The Turner SF210 and SF220 electro-mechanical motor drives are high-speed and high-torque switch operators, with
integrated and infinitely field-adjustable auxiliary switches. Only the highest quality components with field-proven
ruggedness and long life were chosen. Component redundancy was applied whenever possible to limit customer spare
parts stock.

Application
The SF210 and SF220 are completely self contained electric motor-driven switch operators. They can automatically and/or
remotely control several different styles and types of transmission or substation switches.
The “Flexability” of the SF210 and SF220 auxiliary switches qualifies it to be the most flexible operator available. It comes
standard with eight (8) Auxiliary Switch Cams for customer use. Additional contacts are available. These finger tip
adjustable cams provide additional functionality for the operators, which is especially important in the SCADA-interfaced
operating environment of today.

Components
Circuit components are protected by standard circuit breakers. All components within the mechanism enclosure are
protected from condensation by a standard 100 Watt thermostatically controlled 120/240 VAC heater. The heater circuit is
equipped with a circuit breaker switch.

618.797.5000 | TURNER ELECTRIC | turnerswitch.com | January 2016 Page 33


Operation
Manual operation is by hand crank, conveniently located inside the enclosure to prevent unauthorized tampering. Insertion
of the hand crank actuates an interlock switch to prevent accidental operation when crank is engaged.
Manual hand crank ratio is 20:1 for the SF210 and 42:1 for the SF220, providing excellent mechanical advantage.
Local operation is accomplished with a push-button control inside the enclosure. A three position “LOCAL/OFF/REMOTE”
control switch ensures safe operation without potential for activation from a remote switching center.
Remote operation is accomplished by radio, hard-wire, or fiber optic actuation (depending on the local preference and
interface provided). Full SCADA interface is built into every operator.

Opening and Closing


The power train of the motor mechanism is housed in a rugged gear box. The gear train is designed such that no other
mechanical braking device is required. The braking capabilities of the mechanism have been designed into the electrical
controls.
Primary motor function is initiated by two electrically interlocked contactors that prevent both coils from accidentally
being energized at the same time. Each contactor is equipped with a seal-in contact to guarantee a complete opening or
closing cycle after initial impulse. An electrical brake is provided to prevent motor coasting.
