DRIESCHER Outdoor Switches for Railway applications ModularCatenarySwitch MCS
The DRIESCHER ModularCatenarySwitch (MCS) is designed for railway applications, adhering to EN 62505-2 and EN 50152-2 standards. These switches are available in 1-pole or 2-pole configurations for nominal voltages of 15 kV and 25 kV, with rated currents of 1250 A and 2000 A. The modular design allows for various configurations, including disconnector or switch-disconnector types, with optional features such as arcing horns, automatic earthing, and auxiliary switches. Components are made from corrosion-resistant materials, with silver-plated copper for current paths.
Different models include MCS-ARC (Arcing horn), MCS-LBS (Load-break switch), and MCS-LBP (Load-break switch with pre-arcing horn). Accessories like automatic earthing and shaft extensions are available.
The switches comply with EN 50152-2, IEC 62505-2, EN 62271-102, and EN 62271-103 standards. Key specifications include:
- Nominal voltage: 15 kV and 25 kV
- Rated voltage: 17.25 kV and 27.5 kV
- Rated current: 1250 A / 2000 A
- Rated frequency: 16.7 Hz / 50 Hz
- Short-time withstand current: 31.5 kA / 40 kA
- Peak withstand current: 80 kA / 100 kA
- Impulse withstand voltage: 170 kV / 250 kV
- Mechanical life-time: Class 3
- Electrical life-time: E1
The MCS switches are specifically designed for railway applications, suitable for use in open lines, tunnels, and for visible disconnection under load in sectionings. They can be applied in portal or pole setups.
