Type: VIPA (aluminum) and VIPC
(copper)
Insulator Profile: Parallel or Vee Configuration
Orientation: Horizontal Upright, Vertical, Underhung
Voltage:
15 - 345 KV
Current: 600, 1200,
2000 and 3000 Ampere
Description
A three insulator, group operated,
vertical opening
airbreak disconnect switch, with one rotating
insulator per phase for operation. Final contact engagement and
contact pressure are accomplished by rotation of the blade.
Application
Frequently used for line disconnecting, isolating and bypassing breakers and transformers, bus sectionalizing and isolating
arrestors, metering equipment,
and other apparatus.
Features & Benefits
Minimizes phase spacing; the most compact phase spacing of any group
operated switch configuration
Simple and mechanically reliable
Minimal operating effort,
especially at higher voltages
No shunts, mechanical linkages
or pins
in the current path
Excellent ice breaking characteristics
A full range of interruption
devices are available, including quick break arcing horns and SEECO single
and multi-bottle vacuum interrupters
