Description

The RDS series outdoor high-voltage disconnector is designed for three-phase AC power systems at 12 kV, 40.5 kV, and 72.5 kV. It is used for no-load line switching and isolation of high-voltage equipment, providing visible isolating gaps for safe maintenance.

The disconnector adopts a double-post vertical-break design. Two post insulators support the conductive arm, which is driven by the operating mechanism and connecting rod through a 90° rotary motion to complete opening and closing. A vertical isolating gap is formed after opening, with adjustable phase spacing.

Each disconnector consists of a conductive arm, post insulators, operating insulator, and base. The conductive arm is made of high-conductivity copper alloy, providing high mechanical strength and large radiation area. Manual or motor operating mechanisms can be selected as required.

The product is available with an earthing switch on one or both sides, and is fully assembled and adjusted before delivery to minimize on-site installation work.

Key Features

  • Vertical-break design :Double-post construction with vertical isolating gap; simple and proven structure widely used in distribution and transmission systems
  • Self-loading contact finger :High-elasticity copper alloy contact with stable contact pressure; fixed contact finger end prevents contact resistance increase over time
  • Self-cleaning contact surface :Contact surfaces are cleaned during each open and close operation, reducing contact resistance and preventing surface heating
  • High-conductivity conductive arm :Copper alloy arm with high mechanical strength and large radiation area for effective heat dissipation
  • Maintenance-free rotating parts :Imported self-lubricating bushings, stainless steel shaft pins, and long-life aviation grease for smooth, corrosion-free rotation
  • Factory assembled :Fully assembled and adjusted before delivery, significantly reducing on-site installation and commissioning work
  • Sequential control ready :Supports one-key sequential control with double-confirmation function for remote operation

Frequently asked questions

This outdoor high‑voltage disconnector adopts a double‑post vertical‑break design. Two post insulators support the conductive arm.

The operating mechanism drives the connecting rod to make the conductive arm rotate by 90° to realize opening and closing. A vertical isolating gap will be formed after opening, and the phase spacing can be adjusted.

This outdoor high‑voltage disconnector adopts self‑loading high‑elasticity copper alloy contact fingers to maintain stable contact pressure, and the fixed contact finger end avoids the problem of rising contact resistance after long‑term operation.

Besides, the contact surfaces realize self‑cleaning during each opening and closing cycle, which lowers contact resistance and prevents contact overheating.

The rotating parts of this outdoor high‑voltage disconnector adopt imported self‑lubricating bushings, stainless steel shaft pins and long‑life aviation grease. It ensures smooth rotation, effectively resists corrosion, and realizes maintenance‑free performance for rotating joints.
