CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATING PRINCIPLE:

The high voltage AC disconnectors RV 10/400-U3 series are intended to:

• to disconnect and energize high voltage electrical circuits in the absence of load current or to change the connection pattern;
• to ensure the safe operation of the disconnected area;
• to enable and deactivate charging currents of air and cable lines, idling currents of transformers and currents of small loads.

The disconnectors are installed in AC networks at frequencies of 50 and 60 Hz at a voltage of 6(10) kV.

RV 10/400-U3 disconnector is a three-pole vertically cutting plug and consists of:

• insulated frame
• current conducting system contacts
• manual drive

Fixed contacts (a detachable connection and an indivisible hinged connection) made from a copper tyre are mounted on insulators mounted on a disconnection frame. A drive shaft, a grounding knife and other disconnecting elements are also mounted on the frame.

The movable contact knives are connected to fixed contacts via a hinged joint.

The necessary contact force in the hinged and detachable contact connection is achieved by means of the springs installed.

The movable contact knives are actuated by a drive shaft mounted on the disconnect frame via levers and traction insulators.

The external cables are fastened by means of bolt connections to fixed contacts.

The grounding knife is fastened to the disconnect frame by a bolted connection. The disconnector structure allows the customer to remove or add grounding knives on his own. Also, the Customer can separately complete RV 10/400-MC disconnector with one or two grounding knives.

The disconnection and disconnection of the disconnector and the ground knives shall be effected by a manual drive of type MD-10.

In the manual lever drive MD-10, it is possible to fix it in the set-up and disconnected position.

A 31M or 32M mechanical lock or 3B-1 electromagnetic lock are used to lock the drive.
