Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the difference between a disconnecting switch and a circuit breaker?
A: A disconnecting switch provides visible isolation and is used to safely disconnect a circuit under no-load or very low current conditions. It cannot interrupt fault currents like a circuit breaker. The GW4 is specifically designed for isolation purposes. -
Q: Can the GW4 switch be used for both indoor and outdoor applications?
A: This model is primarily designed for outdoor use. For indoor applications, we recommend our indoor series such as GN-type disconnectors. Outdoor models are weatherproof and suitable for harsh environments. -
Q: What operating voltages and currents are available?
A: Standard voltages include 12kV, 24kV, 40.5kV, and 72.5kV. Rated currents range from 630A to 3150A. The GW4 40.5kV 1250A is one of the most popular configurations, but we can customize based on your specification. -
Q: How many mechanical cycles does the switch support before maintenance?
A: The standard design supports 3000 mechanical cycles. For applications requiring higher durability, we offer options up to 5000 cycles. Regular lubrication and inspection can extend the service life significantly. -
Q: Does the switch come with earthing blades?
A: Yes, an earthing blade (grounding switch) can be integrated as an optional feature. This allows grounding of the downstream circuit when the disconnector is open, enhancing safety during maintenance. -
Q: Are motor operators available for remote control?
A: Yes, we provide electric motor operating mechanisms for remote and automatic control. Options include AC/DC motors, position feedback switches, and local/remote selector switches. -
Q: What certifications does your company hold?
A: Our factory operates under ISO9001 quality management system. Specific product certifications (like CE) can be provided upon request. We also follow international standards such as IEC 62271-102. -
Q: What is the lead time and shipping ports?
A: Typical lead time is 15-30 working days depending on quantity and customization. We ship from Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangzhou, or Ningbo ports. We can also arrange door-to-door delivery for certain destinations.
