Southern States CapSwitcher is the first high voltage capacitor switching device specifically designed to meet the power quality needs of today's electrical systems. This special purpose SF6 capacitor switch is available for application on single bank or back-to-back banks whether grounded or ungrounded. Its closing resistors provide transient suppression to minimize the detrimental effects of voltage transients on sensitive equipment such as computers, CNC machines, and variable speed drives and to minimize the detrimental effects of current transients on utility equipment such as circuit breaker contacts, power transformer cores and coils, etc. Other key features of this device include circuit making in SF6 rather than in air, single mechanism spring operator for reliable long-life operation, and single gap per phase puffer interrupters having long contact life and multi-time fault closing capability.
For applications where the CapSwitcher is to perform capacitor bank protection at sites that do not have current transformers present to provide the overcurrent sensing function Southern States CMD current measuring device is the solution to choose. The CMD mounts directly to the CapSwitcher--requiring no foundations and a minimum of substation space--performs its current measuring without any contact with the conductors it is monitoring, and a single CMD measures current on all three phases--replacing the need for 3 separate current transformers.
