Description

 

MJN15-40.5-40 — Indoor earthing switch with insulators, designed for operation as part of switchgear cabinets in three-phase alternating current networks with a frequency of 50 Hz, rated voltage 35 kV, with an insulated or earthed neutral arcing reactor or resistor, designed for visible separation section of the electrical circuit during the audit or repair of equipment.

The earthing switch is equipped with a spring drive, which ensures the movement of grounding knives at a speed independent of the speed of the operator switching.

Rated voltage, kV: 35

Maximum working voltage, kV: 40.5

Interfacial distance, mm: 275, 300

 

For visual inspection, the earthing switch is equipped with a position indicator, and the earthing switch drive system is equipped with a contact block for using the corresponding signals in the secondary signaling and control circuits. The drive system provides the necessary locks for using the ground electrode in the switchgear.

MJN15-40.5 is used for the safe grounding of electrical equipment during repairs and maintenance.
