Introduction ABB introduces the latest range of PS capacitor vacuum switches. The PS15, PS17 and PS25 make up the single phase switch range, while the PS36 is a complete three phase switch. The PS vacuum switch is a solid dielectric vacuum switch suitable for use in distribution systems up to 38 kV ungrounded (and 66 kV grounded). The switch has been specifically designed and tested in accordance with ANSI C37.66 for heavy-duty operation in capacitor-switching applications for the harshest climatic conditions. The PS capacitor vacuum switch is designed to reduce lifecycle costs and offer...

Vacuum technology A vacuum is an ideal switching medium. A vacuum provides the dielectric strength required for capacitor switching and an environmentally friendly insulating medium. ABB's range of PS switches utilises ABB's proven vacuum technology, with over 25 years of experience in developing and manufacturing vacuum interrupters. ABB vacuum interrupters have found applications in other ABB products including automatic circuit reclosers, circuit breakers and contactors. The PS switches have been designed with vacuum interrupters that have been especially designed for capacitor switching...

Insulator technology The PS switch insulator uses advanced 'hydrophobic cycloaliphatic epoxy' (HCEP) resin. HCEP resin adds hydrophobic properties similar to silicones, to the already advantageous property profile of traditional cycloaliphatic epoxies. Increased hydrophobicity leads to less surface wetting, which in turn provides better reliability and improved life expectancy. Cycloaliphatic epoxies are widely used in the electrical field and they are well known for their insulating properties, in particular their very high resistance to electrical tracking. In summary, HCEP is stronger...

Accessories Terminal types [options] The PS vacuum switch comes with several cable termination options including: - 200 A standard termination - 200 A / 400 A NEMA type termination - 400 A termination The terminals can be located either on the top of the switch (location A), side of the switch (location B), or both locations. The different terminal configurations and types are available on the entire PS vacuum switch range. 200 A/400 A NEMA TYPE TERMINATION 400 A TERMINATION 200 A STANDARD TERMINATION 06 PS Range | Capacitor Vacuum Switches
