Product Overview
The JN2-10 Indoor High-Voltage Earthing Switch is a specialized safety component designed for 12kV, 50Hz AC power systems. It is primarily used with indoor metal-clad withdrawable switchgear and other high-voltage equipment, and can also operate as a standalone device.
Its core function is to provide a reliable earthing path for maintenance, ensuring personnel safety by discharging residual voltage. The switch is also capable of closing short-circuit currents, making it a critical protection element for 12kV and below medium-voltage power grids.
Key Advantages
- Shunt Magnetic Lock Technology: Automatically generates contact pressure when energized, ensuring excellent electrical contact without relying on pressure springs, which reduces operational wear and extends service life.
- Low Operation Force: Smooth, lightweight manual operation that minimizes operator fatigue, even with frequent use.
- Compact & Flexible Design: Space-saving structure with flexible installation options, enabling seamless integration with a wide range of high-voltage switchgear cabinets.
- Short-Circuit Closing Capability: Rated to safely close short-circuit currents, providing robust fault protection for power systems.
- Easy Installation & Adjustment: Tool-free alignment and standardized mounting holes allow for quick integration into existing setups.
- Proven Reliability: Rigorously tested for mechanical endurance and electrical performance, ensuring stable operation under demanding conditions.
