The KENJING PT isolating switch is a gas-insulated, medium-voltage isolator for potential-transformer bays. It delivers stable isolation at 12 kV, 630 A, with 20 kA/4 s or 25 kA/3 s thermal withstand, 50/63 kA peak/closing, and low ≤ 30 µΩ main-circuit resistance for accurate metering and safe maintenance.
Key Features & Advantages
MV insulation integrity: Power-frequency withstand 42/48 kV (to ground/phase-to-phase & across contacts) and lightning impulse 75/85 kV ensure clear visible isolation in PT compartments.
Fault-duty capability: The PT isolating switch supports 20/4 s or 25/3 s short-time withstand and 50/63 kA making/peak, aligning with typical 12 kV feeder fault levels.
Low resistance path: ≤ 30 µΩ main circuit reduces ratio error influence on PTs and limits thermal rise.
Mechanical durability: 5,000 operations for the isolating/earthing function; 1.25 bar sealed gas box enhances arc-quenching margins in enclosed PT cubicles.
Application fit: Designed as a gas-insulated isolating switch for PT outgoing/VT draw-out cells and ring-main units requiring compact isolation.
Why Choose KENJING
Purpose-built design: The PT isolating switch geometry, interlocks, and earthing positions are optimized for instrument-transformer protection and safe test/maintenance states.
Repeatable quality: Each PT isolating switch is routine-tested for dielectric, timing, contact resistance, and pressure tightness to maintain fleet consistency.
Lifecycle support: Drawings, interlock schematics, mounting kits, and spares simplify retrofit into existing medium voltage isolation switch cabinets.
