Product Overview
The 40.5kV Indoor High-Voltage Earthing Switch is a specialized safety device designed for 40.5kV medium-voltage power systems. It provides a reliable earthing path for electrical equipment during maintenance, ensuring personnel safety by discharging residual voltage and preventing accidental re-energization.
Built to withstand harsh indoor operating conditions, it complies with international IEC and national GB standards, making it a critical safety component in substations, distribution cabinets, and industrial power systems.
Core Features
- Reliable Safety Protection: Creates a low-resistance earthing path to discharge residual voltage, eliminating electric shock risks during maintenance.
- Wide Environmental Adaptability: Operates stably in temperatures from -15°C to +40°C, with resistance to humidity and seismic activity up to 8 degrees.
- Robust Mechanical Design: High-strength insulating and conductive components ensure stable performance under short-circuit current conditions.
- Easy Operation: Manual operation mechanism with clear mechanical indication, enabling quick and safe earthing and disconnection.
- Standard Compliance: Fully compliant with IEC and GB standards, ensuring global applicability and reliable quality.
- Space-Saving Design: Compact structure optimized for installation in indoor switchgear and limited-space distribution cabinets.
