GVS-W Switch Sectionaliser For Pole Mounting and Substation Applications0 pages
The GVS-W is part of the award winning GVR family and combines the
high reliability of vacuum interruption with the controlled environment and
high dielectric strength of SF6, in a compact, maintenance-free unit. Since
SF6 is only used as insulation, there is no health hazard from toxic byproducts
of arcing.
GVS-W Switch
Sectionaliser
For Pole Mounting and Substation Applications
The GVS-W can be pole or substation mounted and can be used as a
general-purpose sectionalising switch or it can be integrated into the most
advanced distribution automation schemes. In addition, the 38kV GVS-W
has been tested at for single capacitor bank switching at 400A (22.86MVA
at 33kV) to IEC 60056.
Application
Key Features
» Superior, proven Fit & Forget technology with minimal
maintenance
» Environmentally friendly vacuum interruption
produces no by-products
» The lightweight corrosion resistant aluminium tank
makes the GVS-W easier to transport and install.
» The EPDM or silicone bushings are tested for
tracking and erosion to IEC 61109 and are resistant
to damage from vandalism or mishandling
» Endurance tested to 10,000 operations
» Can be upgraded to full auto-reclosing circuit
breaker*
» The unit can be supplied complete with an RTU to
allow the switch to be remotely controlled or with the
facility to allow the customer to install their own
purpose built RTU
* Note: Please specify when ordering to ensure the unit has the
relevant facilities installed prior to despatch to allow upgrade to a
full auto-recloser.
The patented, single coil magnetic actuator provides consistent performance
and a dramatic reduction in moving parts. Materials and finishes have been
carefully chosen for reliability – from EPDM bushings, tested for tracking and
erosion to IEC 61109, in salt, fog and other environments, to the neodymium
iron boron permanent magnets used in the mechanism.
