VERTICAL CIRCUIT SWITCHERS - Compact and Efficient Transformer Protection
VOLTAK introduces the Vertical Circuit Switcher, expertly designed for transformer protection and switching applications in space-constrained substations. Distinguished from traditional circuit breakers, these vertical circuit switchers are adept at handling fast rate-of-rise transient recovery voltages (TRVs) during transformer limited fault interruptions. They can also be seamlessly integrated with VOLTAK disconnect switches, offering both double sidebreak and center break switch options, available for manual or motor operation.
Essential Features of VOLTAK's Vertical Circuit Switchers:
Compact and Efficient Design:
These switchers boast a smaller footprint and reduced SF6 usage compared to traditional dead tank circuit breakers, making them an optimal choice for space-limited substations. Available from 38KV to 245KV, catering to diverse system requirements.
Ease of Installation:
Specially engineered for straightforward assembly, they significantly cut down on field installation time, streamlining the setup process.
Customizable Mounting:
The baseplate design is flexible, allowing for adjustments in hole locations and sizes to accommodate existing foundation and anchor bolt specifications.
Sophisticated Gas Monitoring System:
Features a gas density switch with low pressure alarms and lockout contacts, enabling efficient remote gas monitoring and local visual indication through an SF6 pressure gauge.
Safety in Transit and Installation:
These switchers are designed to be shipped with minimal gas pressure, enhancing safety measures during transport and handling.
Adaptable for Various Installations:
They offer versatility in installation, being adaptable to different mounting heights, foundation needs, and reversible NEMA terminal pads.
Assured Quality and Testing:
Each unit is thoroughly assembled and tested at the factory, necessitating minimal disassembly for shipping, ensuring reliability right from the start. Designed to operate efficiently in ambient temperatures from as low as -50º C to as high as +50º C.
VOLTAK’s Vertical Circuit Switchers embody an innovative approach to transformer protection, combining space efficiency, safety, and adaptability. They are pivotal in modern substations, offering enhanced performance in a compact design, ideal for upgrading and protecting electrical infrastructure with limited space.
