TEMPORARY SWITCHING TOOL DEVICE

A device designed for the safe and economical temporary sectionalizing of circuits in distribution networks up to 24 and 36 kV, by de-energizing specific sections for maintenance.

The operation consists of mounting this tool on 1/0 to 336.4 MCM conductors (Ø 10 to 18 mm) with hot line working procedures at predetermined points. This will allow releasing de-energized sections for a short period for maintenance.
Installation should always be performed close to the structure and with hot line procedures.

For increased operational safety, the three temporary switching tool device must not be mounted in alignment with the adjacent tool.

This tool has the same characteristics as the conventional disconnect switch, with insulated components, so it is suitable for this type of intervention.

It can be opened under a load, using a loadbuster device.
