Description

Description

The JW6/8 series high-voltage grounding switches feature a three-single-pole configuration integrated with an operating mechanism. Each single pole comprises a base, a pillar insulator, and a conductive rod: the rod is mounted on the base, while the static contact is positioned at the top of the insulator.

Driven by the operating mechanism, the conductive rod rotates upward from the horizontal position via transmission components, latching or inserting into the static contact to achieve switch closure; the opening process reverses this motion.

Main Features

  • Streamlined Design & Versatility:The product’s simple, rational structure enables effortless assembly, transportation, installation, and debugging, adapting to diverse field requirements.

  • High-Performance Conductive Components:Constructed from high-strength alloy profiles, the conductive rods offer excellent electrical conductivity, robust mechanical strength, and lightweight design. Their superior anti-corrosion properties ensure prolonged service life in harsh environments.

How is the indoor high-voltage AC grounding switch electrically tested?
  • Insulation Resistance Test: Use an insulation resistance tester to measure the insulation resistance of the grounding switch. The insulation resistance value should meet the product standards and relevant electrical codes. Generally, for indoor high-voltage AC grounding switches, the insulation resistance should be in the range of several gigohms or more to ensure good insulation performance during operation and prevent leakage accidents.

  • Loop Resistance Test: Measure the loop resistance of the grounding switch using a dedicated loop resistance tester to check if the contact points are in good condition. The loop resistance value should fall within the specified range. If the loop resistance is too high, it may cause significant heating when current flows through the grounding switch, affecting its normal operation.

  • Grounding Performance Check: Ensure that the grounding connection is reliable and that the grounding resistance meets the requirements. If the grounding resistance is too high, it may prevent the current from being effectively discharged to the ground during a fault, thus failing to provide adequate protection for maintenance personnel and equipment.

Frequently asked questions

No complicated procedures are required, and on-site verification can be completed quickly. In actual operation, first ensure all grounding connections are firm and the grounding busbar is tightly connected to the earthing switch. Then measure the value with a grounding resistance tester, and the reading must comply with official product specifications and on-site safety standards.
If the value exceeds the standard, check for loose grounding connections or poor contact of the grounding body. Simple adjustments can bring the resistance back within limits. No professional technicians are required; ordinary construction personnel can complete the inspection independently.
