Economical Solutions for Fault Isolation & Improved System Reliability
Southern States Distribution Automation Division offers economical vacuum switching devices that can provide greater reliability and improved cost efficiency to a distribution system. Its flexible design allows utilities to employ the device as a recloser, sectionalizer, or SCADA automated switch available with SEL 651R, 651RA, 751, 351RS, Beckwith M7679, or Siemens programmable automation controllers. This all-in-one product can help utilities reduce total inventory, minimize training requirements, as well as provide applicational flexibility to their systems.Â
Vacuum interrupters housed in hydrophobic cycloaliphatic epoxy (HCEP) offer superior performance and reliability in harsh outdoor conditions. Standard features include 304 stainless steel construction, a 360° field of view position indicator, as well as an amber LED fault indicator light on the bottom of the position indicatorÂ
Introducing the Gold Eagle Single Phase Cutout Mounted Recloser – Industry’s first solar-harvesting cutout recloser, revolutionizing reliability, efficiency, and cost savings for modern utilities. Designed for seamless integration with standard 15kV cutouts, it simplifies inventory management with uniform ratings. Its dual power source— (line current energy harvesting and an integrated solar panel)—enables sustainable, battery-free operation. With advanced technology and intuitive design, the Gold Eagle reduces outages, streamlines maintenance, and enhances overall system performance.
NOTE: The recloser product line is only available for the US and Canadian markets at this time.
