HORIZONTAL KNEE DISCONNECTORS

Horizontal knee disconnector DDK

Horizontal knee disconnector GW57

Maximum reliability and minimal maintenance

Maximum reliability and minimal maintenance

The horizontal knee disconnector requires the smallest spaces in both horizontal and vertical directions, suitable for substation with small installation area. The DDK800 disconnector is available for rated parameters 800kV, 3150A and 50kA

  • Self-aligned contact system
  • Special spring-less contact design to prevent opening of contact during short circuit
  • Minimized contact resistance
  • Stable open/close movement of disconnectors;
  • Driving and driven pipe well supported by compression and extension spring
  • Large contacting area between moving contacts and fixed contacts
  • Guiding device

The GW57 disconnectors are available  up to 550 kV, 4000 A and 63 kA. These disconnectors have a low friction design and offer minimized contact resistance. They are equipped with interlocking for reliability in extreme conditions. Some other important features of these disconnectors are:

  • Stable open/close movement of disconnectors
  • No overheating and constant contact resistance over life time
  • Self cleaning design for contacts
  • Maintenance-free rotating contacts in the knees (no flex braids) and also on the housing
  • Ice breaking capacity
