Robust, Reliable, and Economical Medium Voltage Power Protection
The Air Insulated Switch Fuse Unit is a critical component in modern electrical distribution networks, designed to provide safe, reliable, and efficient control and protection for medium voltage (MV) systems. Leveraging ambient air as its primary insulation medium, this unit offers an environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution for various industrial, commercial, and utility applications.
Engineered for durability and ease of operation, our Air Insulated Switch Fuse Units combine the functionality of a load break switch with the high-speed fault clearing capability of High Rupturing Capacity (HRC) fuses, ensuring superior protection against overcurrents and short circuits.
Key Features
Air Insulated Design: Utilizes ambient air as the dielectric medium, providing an environmentally conscious solution with no SF6 gas, oil, or vacuum requirements.
Integrated Load Break Switch: Enables safe manual or motorized switching and isolation of circuits under normal load conditions, ensuring operational flexibility.
High Rupturing Capacity (HRC) Fuses: Incorporates robust HRC fuses for rapid and effective protection against short circuits and severe overcurrents, minimizing equipment damage and downtime.
Enhanced Safety Features:
Mechanical Interlocks: Prevents unsafe operations, such as switching under fault conditions or opening access doors before proper isolation.
Visible Isolation: Provides clear visual indication of the main circuit's open position, enhancing operator safety during maintenance.
Earth Switch: Integrated earthing switch with interlocks for safe maintenance procedures.
Robust & Compact Construction: Designed for longevity with a sturdy, enclosed sheet steel construction, offering protection against environmental factors (e.g., dust, moisture) and mechanical stress. Its compact footprint saves valuable installation space.
Easy Installation & Maintenance: Simple design facilitates quick installation and straightforward maintenance, leading to reduced total cost of ownership.
Operational Flexibility: Available with options for manual spring-assisted operation or motorized mechanisms for remote control and automation integration.
Clear Mimic Diagram: Provides an intuitive visual representation of the switch and earthing switch positions for immediate operational status verification.
Voltage Presence Indicators (Optional): Aids in verifying the absence of voltage for enhanced safety.
Indoor & Outdoor Variants: Available in different enclosure ratings (e.g., IP4X for indoor, IP5X/IP6X for outdoor) to suit diverse environmental conditions.
