Product catalog summary
Overview
The CapSwitcher® is a high voltage capacitor switching device designed for reliable, long-life performance in capacitor bank applications. It is specifically developed to provide restrike-free switching, utilizing SF6 gas and closing resistors to mitigate voltage transients and current inrush.

Features
  • Closing resistors minimize voltage and current transients.
  • Simple, cost-effective mechanical design ensures repeatability.
  • Long operational life with up to 10,000 operations.
  • Eliminates the need for inrush reactors.
  • Complies with Class C2 standards for very low probability of restrike.

Specifications
  • Maximum Voltage Ratings: 245 kV / 362 kV.
  • Capacitive Current Switch Rating: 810 A.
  • Short Time Withstand Ratings: 40 kA RMS Sym (1 sec), 63 kA RMS Sym (18 cycles).
  • Rated Power Frequency Withstand Voltage: 555 kV.
  • Rated Lightning Impulse Withstand Voltage (BIL): 1300 kV.
  • Rated Chopped Wave Voltage (Optional): 1680 kV.
  • Rated Continuous Current: 810 A.
  • Rated Interrupting Time: 3 cycles.
  • Environmental Ratings: -30º C to +50º C.
  • Gas Fill Pressure: 96 psig NOM / 76 psig MIN.

Application
The device is suitable for single bank or back-to-back grounded applications, designed for restrike-free performance with multiple resistor sizes for performance optimization.

Key Advantages
  • Common gas system with pressure gauge and density switch for local and remote status indication.
  • Easy installation minimizes field installation time.
  • Independent pole operation with master control enclosure.

Service Conditions
  • Maximum altitude: 1000 m (3280 ft).
  • Maximum wind velocity: 90 mph (40 m/s).
  • Seismic performance: Low Performance Level as per IEEE 693.
