GW5 High Voltage Disconnector

1. Product Overview
a. The GW5 high voltage disconnector is applicable to switching of high voltage lines with no load. It is also used for isolating high voltage busbar and electrical equipment like circuit breaker from the live high voltage lines when the busbar and electrical equipment need maintenance.
b. Our GW5 AC disconnector consists of the base, post insulators, and the conducting parts. It includes three monopoles and each monopole has a V type double-column structure. The two post insulators of each monopole are arranged in an angle of 50 degrees and they are mounted on the bearing seats connected with the base. A pair of bevel gears is adopted for meshing transmission. The knife switch has left and right contacts which are respectively fixed on the post insulators.
c. The activated operating mechanism drives one post insulator to rotate by 90° and the other insulator rotates by 90° in the opposite direction at the same time due to the meshing between the bevel gears. Hence, the left and right contacts are opened or closed to the same side. During opening, there is a clearly noticeable horizontal isolation fracture between the two contacts.
d. The GW5 high voltage disconnector can be equipped with a JW7 earthing switch. A mechanical interlock is set between the two.
e. Three-pole mechanical linkage can be realized through the connecting rods between the monopoles. Both the main switch and the earthing switch can be equipped with the CS17I to CS17IV series of improved manual operating mechanisms. The CJTKB electric mechanism can also be adopted according to customer requirements.
