GVR Recloser

For Pole Mounting and Substation Applications Key Features

»

Superior, proven Fit & Forget technology with minimalmaintenance

»

By using the advanced control and protection functions of the Panacea, the GVR can also be used in applications where reclosers have not traditionally beenused such as closed rings and underfrequency loadshedding schemes

»

The FKI Switchgear patented, single coil magnetic actuator mechanism allows the GVR to operateindependently of the MV supply

»

Environmentally friendly vacuum interruption produces no by-products

»

The lightweight corrosion resistant aluminium tank makes the GVR easier to transport and install.

The 3-in-1 Recloser – the GVR can be configured tofunction as a Switch, Sectionaliser or Recloser by usingone of the specially pre-engineered protection and control cubiclesThe GVR automatic recloser is now available as a tank onlyoption for those customers who wish to connect their ownprotection and control cubicles. Alternatively, customerslooking for a ground-mounted solution can select our epoxyseparable bushings for cable connected networks.

The EPDM or silicone bushings are tested for tracking and erosion to IEC 61109 and are resistant to damagefrom vandalism or mishandling

»

Endurance tested to 10,000 operations

Pole mounted or substation mounted, the GVR can be integrated into the most advanced distributionautomation schemes, or can operate as a stand-alonerecloser The father of modern switchgear, FKI Switchgear’s world renowned GVRRecloser was the first in a range of equipment utilising one of the mostadvanced operating mechanisms available on the market today – FKI’s Fitand Forget Technology, featuring the award winning magnetic actuator. The GVR provides ‘intelligent control’ and protection on power distributionnetworks, whilst offering a lifetime of trouble-free service.
