CapSwitcher® 15.5kV-38kV Catalog Flyer

Product catalog summary

Overview: The CapSwitcher® is a high voltage capacitor switching device designed for reliable and long-life performance, specifically developed to provide restrike-free switching of capacitor banks. It utilizes SF6 gas and closing resistors to mitigate voltage transients and current inrush.

Features:

Minimizes voltage and current transients with closing resistors.
Virtually eliminates restrikes.
Simple, cost-effective mechanical design ensuring repeatability.
Long operational life of up to 10,000 operations.
Eliminates the need for inrush reactors.

Specifications:

Maximum Voltage Ratings: 15.5 kV – 38 kV.
Capacitive Current Switch Rating: 600 A.
Short Time Withstand Ratings: 40 kA RMS Sym for 2 seconds.
