Description
The unitized Type AR switch is a distribution-level, loadbreak, gang-operated side-break switch designed to meet not only today’s needs but well into utilities’ future of distribution automation. Designed for nominal system voltages of 15kV, 27kV 34.5kV (Grd-Wye) or 38kV. The
Type AR switch is available with a variety of options, and in ratings for present and planned requirements.
To minimize field installation time, the Type AR switch is pre-assembled, adjusted and mounted on a crossarm.
Installation time is even faster for a Type AR switch with the hook stick-operation option.
The Type AR switch is available in five basic configurations:
● Horizontal ● Vertical ● Phase-over-Phase ● Delta •Inverted
All feature clockwise opening and are operable by torsional or reciprocating controls as well a hookstick operation option (full-length down-the-pole control or crossarm-mounted hook stick-operation control).
Full-length down-the-pole controls consist of Torsional swing-handle operation for Horizontal,Delta and Inverted switches and Reciprocating pumphandle operation for Vertical and Phase-over-Phase switches. (Standard Duty or Heavy Duty conrols are available for Vertical and Phase-over-Phase switches.) Switch open or close positions locking provisions are provided.
Offset control option for horizontal configuration allows the control to be trained down the side of the pole where interference prohibits mounting the control on the front of the pole.
Crossarm-mounted hook stick-operation controls provide pull-to-open / pull-to-close switch with maximum target hook stick accessibility.
Features:
All three phase switches feature a Roller Cam overtoggle mechanism to assure locked closed blades, mechanical advantage for easier open and close operation, and "snap" feedback to the operator。
