3. Main features

1) For the disconnecting switches:

A. Every phase conductive body for an isolating switch of series GN19-12Q is fixed on a bottom seat by two post insulators. (There are C1, C2 and C3 three gone-thru types for GN19-12C isolating switch, C1, C2-a post insulator and a bushing at one side respectively; C3-two sides are all bushings). The conductive body for every phase is composed of a contacting knife and a stationary contact. At the mid of every contacting knife is connected with a pull rod insulator that is connected with a main shaft mounted on a bottom frame by a connecting rod. The main shaft is connected to CS6-1T operating mechanism by a crank arm and connecting rod. The mechanism is connected to the isolating switch by a connecting rod supplied by customers to make the relative movement of the mechanism and the switch.

B. For GN19-12Q/1000 (1250) and GN19-12CQ/1000(1250) isolating switch, there is a magnetic locking pressing plate mounted at the contacting place. So, the attraction force between two groove contacting knives, the contacting pressure at contacting place and the dynamic and thermal stability for the switch are all enhanced while a short circuit current flows. A bottom frame assembly consists of bottom frame, main shaft and an arrester, the arrester guarantees the final position demanded while the conductive contacting knife “opening” and “closing”.

2) For the earthing switches:

A. Consisting of a bracket, a contacting knife, insulators, a closing spring and contacting seat.

B. When the process of closing, an action torque coming from the operating mechanism makes the main shaft 6 overcome a resistance torque and rotate the operating plate 4 at the direction of closing, and make a swing rod on the mobile knife 1 run over the spring dead center, and the spring releases energy to make the earthing switch accelerate closing.The tight and reliable contacting by butterfly spring 5 on the mobile knife 1 of the knife of the stationary contact 3 and contacting knife reaches the earthing demand. While opening, an action torque makes the main shaft 6 overcome a resistance torque and spring force, rotate the operating plate 4 at the opening direction, and make the swing rod on the mobile knife 1 compress the spring 2 to the dead center, and the energy storage ends for next closing.

4. Manufacturing standards: IEC62271-102:2002, GB1985-2004

5.  Features of Main Structure

5.1 Type GN30-12Q/1000, 1250, 1600, 2000, 2500, 3150 or 4000 isolating switch is a new type rotary isolating switch. The main body of the isolating switch is fixed at two sides of a bottom frame by two groups of insulators, the two sides are fully separated from each other by an isolated plate connected at the frame. The opening and closing of the isolating switch are fulfilled by rotating the conducting pipes. On the basis of the original switch, an earthing knife is added to form a GN30-12Q(D) isolating switch to satisfy different requirements of switchgear boards. Because of the contacts are relatively assembled at the two sides of the isolated plate of the switch, it makes the two parts (with and without voltage) are fully separated from each other in a switchgear board, so the absolute safety for maintenance workers is guaranteed.

5.2 The conductive component consists of circular conductive pipe, a finger contactor and a contacting seat, and the finger contactor fixed on the contacting seat at two sides, and a magnetic locking plate is added to guarantee the dynamic and thermal stability of the switch while a short circuit trouble occurs.

5.3 A spherical contacting is applied for the contacting between the contactors and contacting seat, and line contacting is applied for the contactors and conductive pipe for decreasing the technological difficulty of assembly, and warrant of a good contacting.

5.4 CS6-2 operating mechanism can be used for the isolating switch, and the other operating mechanism self-designed is also used possibly.
