Description

The RCS series is Rockwill’s high-performance outdoor vacuum switch dedicated to capacitor switching. It offers a full range of configurations, including economical, long-life, and high-capacity models, to suit different voltage levels and operating conditions. With long mechanical life, high reliability, maintenance-free design, and internationally compliant electrical performance, it helps power systems achieve stable and cost-effective reactive power compensation.

General description

  • Product Positioning The RCS series outdoor capacitor switches from Rockwill are a new generation of vacuum switches designed for long mechanical life, primarily used for switching capacitor banks in distribution networks. The core technology combines modern manufacturing processes, computer-aided design, advanced insulation technology, and a compact structure, resulting in lightweight and small-size products.
  • Longevity and Maintenance Advantages All models emphasize maintenance-free operation cycles and long mechanical life. For example, the magnetic latching type can achieve up to 100,000 mechanical operations, while spring-driven types generally reach around 10,000 operations, with some models offering several thousand to tens of thousands of maintenance-free operations. This significantly reduces maintenance costs and improves the online availability of capacitor banks.
  •  Performance and Quality Assurance The products comply with multiple international and national standards (such as ANSI/IEEE C37.60, IEC 62271-100, GB1984-2003, etc.) and have passed rigorous testing to ensure reliable performance under high humidity, high pollution, and harsh climate conditions.
  •  Comprehensive Benefits Using the RCS series can reduce maintenance workload, extend equipment service life, improve power quality, and lower the risk of outages caused by equipment failure.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Selected models support an optional intelligent controller with multi-protocol communication and remote monitoring, enabling automatic switching, status monitoring and fault alarming to meet distribution automation upgrade requirements.

It is a dedicated switch optimized for capacitor switching, with high-frequency and reignition-free switching capability to suppress switching overvoltage and protect capacitor banks. Unlike general vacuum circuit breakers, which focus on short-circuit breaking, this switch is designed for frequent load switching.
