Horizontal double break disconnector GW56

Maximum reliability and minimal maintenance

The GW56 disconnectors are available up to 245 kV, 4000 A and 50 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:

  • Contact plates with self-cleansing capability
  • Contact pressure kept unchanged by stainless springs
  • Superior design of mechanical interlock
  • Ice breaking capacity

Applications

The horizontal double break disconnector is suitable for substations with limited phase space and installations with low vertical clearance.
