Vertical Circuit Switchers (CSV)
Southern States CSV vertical interrupter ("candlestick") circuit switcher expands Southern States circuit switcher line to fit shrinking substation space requirements. The CSV brings circuit breaker capabilities into the circuit switcher market and is available for applications involving power transformer switching and protection, capacitor switching (non-transient mitigating) and protection, reactor switching and protection, bus switching and protection, and line switching and protection.
The CSV is also available with an integral double end break “Vee” switch (model CSV-DB) and with an integral center break “Vee” switch (model CSV-CB). These switches can be specified by the customer to be either manually operated or motor operated.
