  • IEC Standard Single Phase Outdoor Capacitor Vacuum Switch-15kV 27kV

Key attributes

Brand ROCKWILL
Series RCS
Rated voltage 15kV 27kV
Rated current 630/800/1250 A
Rated frequency 50/60Hz
Description

The RCS Series Single-Phase Outdoor Capacitor Switch is a new-generation vacuum switch designed for long mechanical life, primarily used for switching single-phase capacitor banks in distribution networks. With advanced insulation technology and a compact, lightweight design, it supports maintenance-free operation (mechanical life up to 100,000 operations).

Complying with multiple international standards, it ensures reliable performance in harsh outdoor environments, helping users reduce maintenance costs and improve power supply reliability.

Product structure

The core structure of the RCS series outdoor capacitor switch consists of a vacuum interrupter, drive mechanism, incoming/outgoing terminals, insulation and protection components, and an optional intelligent controller:

  • Vacuum Interrupter: Utilizes APG (Automated Pressure Gelation) process combined with silicone rubber coating, directly connected to the main terminal. This design reduces losses and enhances both insulation performance and weather resistance.
  • Drive Mechanism: Includes three types—magnetic latching (long life), spring-driven (economical), and motor-spring (high capacity)—to meet various requirements for lifespan and cost.
  • Incoming/Outgoing Terminals: Made of T2 copper, with modular bushingtype terminations for easy installation and maintenance
  • Insulation & Protection: Equipped as standard with IP64-rated waterproof joints and high-grade insulating parts, suitable for harsh outdoor environments.
  • Intelligent Controller : Supports multiple communication protocols and remote monitoring, enabling automated switching operations.
  • The overall design emphasizes compact structure, simplified transmission, high reliability, and low energy consumption, covering a wide range of applications from economical to long-life, high-capacity solutions.

Frequently asked questions

All models are maintenance‑free with up to 100,000 mechanical operations (magnetic latching type). This significantly lowers inspection frequency and downtime, directly improving capacitor‑bank availability and reducing long‑term operational expenditure.

The RCS series is rated for ambient temperatures from –40 °C to +85 °C (max daily temperature difference 25 °C), altitudes ≤1000 m, wind speeds ≤35 m/s, and pollution Class IV (acid/alkali/salt‑fog medium). Standard IP64‑rated joints and silicone‑rubber coating ensure reliable performance in harsh outdoor conditions.

The series complies with IEEE C37.66, IEC 62271‑100, and GB1984‑2024. Products have passed rigorous testing for high humidity, high pollution, and harsh climate conditions, which helps meet utility specifications and reduces the risk of non‑compliance or premature failure.
