Southern States’ success has recently led to the development of our new RLS38T, an RLSwitcher® designed specifically for transformer Tertiary connected shunt reactors rated 15.5kV and 38kV. The RLS38T’s unique contact set helps address the need for high switching current (up to 3000A) required at lower voltages. By minimizing re-ignitions and maintaining contact life, it provides increased life and reliability for utilities. For more information, please take a moment to visit our published news release.
• Interrupter design making and breaking an SF6 minimizes probability and magnitude of re-ignitions, thus providing the following benefits:
• Reduced Turn-to-Turn voltage stress on reactor windings
• Minimized damage to the switching device nozzle and contacts, thus providing long life
• Minimized harmful transients on the systems
• Simplified design improves reliability
• Gas system monitoring provided for all devices
• Compact design can fit is tight spaces
• Single mechanism spring-open, spring-close mechanism provides reliable long-life performance for less than or equal to 245kV
• Fully assembled and tested at the factory
• Ships with minimum dis-assembly to minimize installation time
