VSV 25-36 kV Catenary switcher

Group


We know how Our range of switchers is designed to ensure the best performances and reliability, which are the result of our 60-year-old experience in the field of high voltage.

The VSV Catenary switcher The VSV is an outdoor switch. It is expressly designed to meet the needs of 25-36 kV railway lines requiring high-performance equipment as well as modern and reliable technologies. The VSV is composed of a sealed enclosure filled with inert gas where a vacuum interrupter is located. This device is operated by a magnetic actuator which is connected to it without any outside mechanical transmission rods. The VSV’s strengths are its versatility and weather resistance, which make its installation possible also in harsh environmental conditions, with no need for adjustments or final calibrations. Its simplicity, compactness and robustness make it easy to be installed as well as able to operate regularly, in the years, under maintenance-free conditions. Pursuant to the most recent environmental laws on the use of sulphur hexafluoride, the VSV uses inert gas (SF6 or N2) only to guarantee the dielectric features, thus avoiding emissions of burnt gases during operations.

Optional devices The VSV can be supplied either in unipolar or bipolar version. Additionally, a disconnector can be provided – upon request – for open circuit to be made visible. Upon request, the VSV can also be provided with a specific relay to control the automatic opening of the equipment in the event of voltage failure in the power circuit of the control cabinet.

Reliability and maintenance The VSV is designed to be maintenance-free. The use of a high-quality vacuum interrupter ensures the constancy of performance in time. The use of stainless material (or made so thanks to proper protective coatings) in the manufacturing of all components, the presence of a magnetic actuator and of few moving parts, the absence of external transmission rods ensure an excellent level of reliability of the VSV for many years of operation.


Construction features

1

The VSV is composed of either one or two (if bipolar) poles connected to the same control cabinet through a shielded cable. Each pole includes a vacuum interrupter and a magnetic actuator. The former is manufactured using high-quality material and advanced technology, which allow for short operation times and ensure the long life of the equipment. The latter, which is bistable, is warranted for more than 30,000 operation cycles.

The porcelain insulators ensure an excellent dielectric withstand, also in case of high levels of pollution. Upon request, the VSV can be provided with composite insulators. The control cabinet serves as interface between the control room and the VSV. It is provided with lockable door and allows for the following operations:

â– Remote electrical operations and monitoring of the equipment via an alarm signal. â– Local electrical operations.

Each pole is also equipped with a lever device for manual emergency operations: it allows opening and closing operations also without power supply to the control cabinet.
