Disconnect Switch

An disconnect switch is a switch device that is mainly used to “isolate power, switch off, and connect and disconnect low-current circuits” and does not have an arc extinguishing function. When the isolating switch is in the open position, the contacts have an insulation distance that meets the specified requirements and an obvious disconnection mark; when in the closed position, it can carry the current under normal circuit conditions and the current under abnormal conditions (such as short circuit) within a specified time. Yuanneng isolating switches use copper knife switches and contacts, which improves the conductivity ability. The use of insulators with Class A quality and large creepage distance makes the overall product have high anti-pollution ability and can be used outdoors for a long time.

Disconnecting Switch Application

The isolating switch is a switch with a clear disconnect gap but no arc extinguishing device. It is mainly used to ensure the safe maintenance of electrical equipment. In addition, the isolating switch is also used for circuit switching operations, such as switching the circuit from the working bus to the standby bus, switching voltage transformers and lightning arresters, etc. The isolating switch has no arc extinguishing device and cannot interrupt the load current and short-circuit current. The isolating switch can only be opened and closed when the circuit breaker is disconnected.

Yuanneng Disconnecting Switch Feature

01

Conductive part: conducts current in the circuit, closes and opens the circuit. Including contacts, knife switches, and terminal blocks.

02

Insulating part: realizes insulation between live parts and wiring parts. Including supporting insulators and operating insulators.

03

Operating mechanism: controls the opening and closing of knife switches through transmission devices and supplies operating force.

04

Support base: fixes the conductive part, insulator, transmission mechanism, operating mechanism, etc. into one, and fixes them on the foundation.

Yuanneng Quality Control of Disconnectors

Appearance and Size Inspection

Appearance and dimension inspections are carried out in accordance with the product technical documents and drawings. Inspectors use normal vision, vernier calipers and steel rulers to inspect the disconnectors piece by piece. Products that meet the requirements of the product technical documents and drawings and have no burrs or defects on the surface are qualified, otherwise they are unqualified.

Conductive Loop Resistance Detection

The main circuit resistance test is performed by the inspector operating the loop resistance tester. The operation steps are: ① Connect the connection wires on the loop resistance tester to the two ends of the disconnector to be tested, and the disconnector is in a closed state; ②) Turn on the power supply of the loop resistance tester; ③ Turn on the loop resistance tester switch to test the disconnector and read the test data. The sample is qualified when the test value is less than 100uQ, otherwise it is unqualified.

Mechanical and Operation Test

Manual operate “closed” and “open”5 times. Contact pressure measurement ≥ 50N

Galvanized Layer Inspection: ISO 1461:2009I

Avergae minimum coating thickness will be ≥85μm, 600g/m2

Power Frequency Withstand Voltage Test

Our disconnectors can be subjected to 1 min power-frequency voltage dry tests, as specified by IEC 62271.

What to Consider When Buying a Disconnector Switch?

What Disconnector Switch Type

You need to consider what type of disconnector switch you need, such as ceramic material or silicone rubber material. Ceramic disconnect switch are bird-proof and are not prone to deformation or cracking when used in outdoor environments. Polymer disconnecting switch have higher strength and are lighter in weight. Please send local market popular styles to our sales staff so that we can recommend the suitable types.

Electrical Performance

You need to pay attention to the required electrical performance, including rated voltage, rated current, lightning and power frequency withstand voltage, the creepage distance requirement which based on local pollution protection level.

International Standard

Another thing need to be considered is to know about international standards, such as IEC 2271-1. Yuanneng follow the standards in the design, manufacturing, and inspection of the products. We provide you with quality products at reasonable prices. If you need test report for reference, welcome to contact us.

Packing and Delivery

Finally, you need to pay attention to disconnect packaging. Overseas orders often have long voyages, especially in LCL delivery, the transportation method will be changed several times. Porcelain disconnect switch is fragile, polymer disconnection switch are easily deformed under pressure, so a good packaging method is crucial. Yuanneng normal packing will be carton+ pallet. Pallets securing your primary packaging (and your product) in a stack to facilitate movement and storage.
