Product Introduction
The JN22-40.5/31.5 Indoor High-Voltage Earthing Switch is a specialized safety switching device designed for 40.5kV three-phase AC power systems. It provides a secure earthing path during maintenance, discharging residual voltage and preventing accidental re-energization to protect personnel and equipment.
This robust device is engineered for high short-circuit current withstand capability (31.5kA) and stable performance in demanding indoor environments. It is a critical safety component in substations, industrial switchgear, and medium-voltage power distribution networks.
Key Performance Advantages
- High Short-Circuit Withstand Capacity: Rated for 31.5kA short-circuit current withstand, ensuring reliable performance during fault conditions.
- Visual Isolation Indication: Clear mechanical position indication for earthing and disconnection status, eliminating operational ambiguity.
- Robust Mechanical Structure: Heavy-duty insulators and reinforced metal components ensure mechanical stability and long service life.
- Wide Environmental Tolerance: Operates reliably in temperatures from -15°C to +40°C, with seismic resistance up to 8 degrees and high humidity tolerance.
- Low Maintenance Design: Durable components and corrosion-resistant coatings minimize upkeep, reducing lifecycle costs.
- Global Standard Compliance: Fully compliant with IEC and GB high-voltage equipment standards, ensuring compatibility with international power systems.
