Description
The RDS series outdoor high-voltage disconnector is designed for three-phase AC power systems at 40.5 kV, 72.5 kV, and 126 kV. It is used for no-load line switching, isolation of high-voltage equipment, and bus-transfer current switching, providing visible isolating gaps for safe maintenance.

The disconnector adopts a V-arrangement double-post center-break design. Two rotating post insulators are mounted on a common base at a 50° angle. The contact finger arm and contact head arm are fixed to the top of each insulator. The operating mechanism drives one insulator to rotate, which drives the other insulator in reverse through an angular gear or linkage, achieving opening and closing with a horizontal isolating gap.

The product is available with an earthing switch on one or both sides, and can be operated via manual operating mechanisms with three-pole linkage. A direct mechanical interlock between the main disconnector and earthing switch shafts ensures reliable interlocking without a complex gearbox.

Key Features

  • V-arrangement center-break design :Two post insulators arranged in a V-configuration with 90° or 180° drive for reliable opening and closing; horizontal isolating gap provides visible break for safe maintenance
  • Self-contained contact :Special copper alloy contact uses its own elastic force for tight connection, eliminating contact springs and the associated risk of spring corrosion, shunting, heating, and contact resistance increase
  • Aluminum alloy conductive arm :Rectangular aluminum alloy pipe construction; high strength, light weight, large radiation area, and strong corrosion resistance
  • Maintenance-free rotating base :Sealed closure design prevents ingress of moisture, dust, and harmful gases; low-temperature lubricant in bearings does not leak or harden; thrust and radial ball bearings share gravity and horizontal load components, maintaining stable operating torque over the equipment lifetime
  • Direct mechanical interlock :Interlock between main disconnector and earthing switch is mounted directly on the main shaft and earthing switch shaft, eliminating the need for a separate gearbox; reliable interlock with easy on-site adjustment
  • Flexible configuration :Available with or without earthing switch (left, right, or both sides); optional manual operating mechanisms with three-pole linkage
  • Sequential control ready :Supports one-key sequential control with double-confirmation function for remote operation

Frequently asked questions

The RDS‑series outdoor high‑voltage disconnector adopts a V‑arrangement double‑post center‑break design. Two rotating post insulators are installed on one common base at 50° angle; the operating mechanism drives one insulator, and angular gears or linkages drive the other insulator to reverse‑rotate, forming a horizontal visible isolating gap for opening and closing operations.

The RDS‑series outdoor high‑voltage disconnector is equipped with self‑contained special copper‑alloy contacts. It relies on the inherent elastic force of the contact itself to achieve tight connection, removing contact springs.

This avoids common risks such as spring corrosion, shunting, overheating and rising contact resistance caused by spring failure.

The rotating base of the RDS‑series outdoor high‑voltage disconnector uses fully sealed construction to block moisture, dust and harmful gas ingress.

Its bearing is filled with non‑leaking, non‑hardening low‑temperature lubricant. Thrust and radial ball bearings jointly bear gravity and horizontal loads, keeping stable operating torque throughout the whole service life with little routine maintenance.

Yes, the RDS‑series outdoor high‑voltage disconnector can be deployed in Class IV heavy‑pollution areas with high creepage‑distance requirements.

It is widely used in transmission‑distribution substations, industrial power systems, grid interconnection stations and overhead‑line termination occasions under harsh environmental conditions.
