Description
The Rockwill RDS series outdoor ultra-high voltage (UHV) disconnector is rated for 800 kV and 1000 kV, designed for three-phase AC UHV transmission systems. It provides visible isolation for equipment maintenance, performs no-load line switching, and handles bus-transfer current switching in UHV substations. The disconnector is suitable for 750 kV, 800 kV, and 1000 kV nominal system voltages.

The disconnector adopts a heavy-duty horizontal center-break structure with two insulator columns per phase, reinforced for UHV-class mechanical and electrical loads. Corona grading rings are fitted at the blade tips, contact ends, and terminal connectors to suppress corona discharge, control radio interference, and prevent audible corona noise. The conductive blade and contact system maintain a uniform electric field distribution, keeping RIV below 500 µV at rated voltage.

The SRCJ2 motor actuator provides single-pole operation with three-pole linkage capability. The  earthing switch is installed on one or both sides and is available with manual or motor operation

Key Features

  • UHV corona control design:Multi-stage corona grading rings at blade tips, contact ends, and terminal connectors suppress electric field stress, effectively limiting radio interference voltage and preventing audible corona noise at rated voltage
  • Heavy-duty center-break structure:Reinforced insulator columns and blade assembly sized for UHV class mechanical loads, providing high longitudinal terminal load capacity matching heavy strain bus and overhead line connections in UHV yards
  • Controlled opening speed :Motor actuator provides controlled separation speed that minimizes mechanical shock while ensuring reliable arc extinction at the auxiliary arcing contacts during no-load switching
  • Integrated switching impulse withstand:SI withstand voltage values per IEC 60071-1 Range II, where switching surges dominate over lightning for UHV insulation coordination
  • Large creepage distance options:Standard and heavy-duty creepage distances available, accommodating heavy salt-fog and industrial pollution in coastal and desert UHV substation environments
  • Single-pole operational flexibility:Independent actuator per phase allows phase-selective isolation, enabling maintenance on one phase while remaining phases remain energized
  • IEC 62271-102 compliant:Fully type-tested in accordance with IEC 62271-102 for disconnectors and earthing switches, covering bus-transfer, inductive, and capacitive switching

Frequently asked questions

Each phase of the Rockwill RDS‑series outdoor high‑voltage disconnector is driven by an independent actuator to realize phase‑selective isolation.

Operators can carry out maintenance work on one single phase, while the other two phases can remain energized, which avoids full bay shutdown and improves the availability of UHV transmission systems.

The Rockwill RDS‑series outdoor high‑voltage disconnector is fully type‑tested and complies with IEC 62271‑102 for disconnectors and earthing switches.

The type‑test covers bus‑transfer switching, inductive switching and capacitive switching performance requirements.

The Rockwill RDS‑series outdoor high‑voltage disconnector features controlled opening speed to reduce mechanical shock and guarantee reliable arc extinction of auxiliary arcing contacts during no‑load switching.

Its switching impulse withstand performance complies with IEC 60071‑1 Range‑II, which applies to UHV systems where switching surges are the dominant insulation stress. Multiple creepage distance options are available to cope with salt‑fog, coastal and desert heavy‑pollution environments.
