Side Opening Disconnect Switch
Side Opening Disconnect Switch
The MTP Side Opening Disconnect Switch was developed to operate in substations and in a wide range of power distribution switching applications, for voltage classes from 15 kV up to 345 kV.
The side opening (SO) disconnect switch consists of two insulator columns, with one rotary column responsible for operating and supporting the blades, while the other remains fixed.
The switch phases are mounted on a steel tubular base*. Cast aluminum parts and stainless steel components complement its construction, ensuring maximum safety and robustness of the equipment. The use of adjustable profiles between the three phases ensures proper fixation, and the insulators are made of porcelain.
The support structure, base, and other metallic parts are manufactured from hot-dip galvanized steel, in accordance with NBR 6323.
The equipment can be supplied according to customer requirements, suitable for installation on either concrete foundations or metallic structures.
The disconnect switch can be operated manually or by motorized actuation, using a control panel equipped with several auxiliary contact blocks.
