Description
The RDS series outdoor high-voltage disconnector is designed for 252 kV and 363 kV three-phase AC power systems. It is used for no-load line switching, equipment isolation, and bus-transfer current switching, providing a visible isolating gap for safe maintenance.

The disconnector adopts a horizontal center-break structure with two insulator columns per phase. The conductive blade is mounted on the rotating insulator and opens at the center, forming a horizontal isolating break. The design features low operating torque and minimized contact resistance.

The earthing switches can be installed on one or both sides. For 252 kV, the disconnector is motor-operated with three-pole linkage. For 363 kV, the disconnector uses single-pole motor operation with three-pole linkage capability. The earthing switch is manually operated for both voltage levels.

Key Features

  • Horizontal center-break design:Two insulator columns per phase with center-opening blade, providing a clear visible isolating gap with low operating torque and stable contact performance
  • Reliable current path:Self-cleaning contact system with multiple-finger tulip contacts ensures stable current transfer and high short-circuit withstand capability
  • Versatile earthing switch:The earthing switch installable on one or both sides, manually operated for reliable earthing
  • Proven operating mechanism:Motor mechanism with three-pole linkage for 252 kV; single-pole motor operation with three-pole linkage capability for 363 kV
  • Low contact resistance:Silver-plated contacts and optimized conductive path minimize resistive losses and temperature rise
  • Factory assembled:Complete assembly and adjustment completed before delivery, reducing on-site installation and commissioning work

Frequently asked questions

The RDS‑series outdoor high‑voltage disconnector adopts a horizontal center‑break structure. Each phase is equipped with two insulator columns; the conductive blade is mounted on rotating insulators and splits open at the centre, forming a horizontal isolating break. This design realizes low operating torque and low contact resistance.

For the RDS‑series outdoor high‑voltage disconnector, the 252 kV model adopts motor‑driven three‑pole linkage operation. The 363 kV model adopts single‑pole motor operation and supports three‑pole linkage function. The earthing switches for both voltage classes are manually operated.

The RDS‑series outdoor high‑voltage disconnector is fitted with a self‑cleaning multi‑finger tulip‑type contact system.

Together with silver‑plated contacts and optimized conductive paths, it delivers stable current transmission, high short‑circuit withstand capacity, low contact resistance, and effectively reduces power loss and temperature rise.
