`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`NOJA Power's VISI-SWITCH® is a solid dielectric load
`
`break switch designed for manual isolation in a three-
`
`phase electricity distribution grid feeder. Unique to
`
`this switch, is the viewing window embedded in the
`
`bushings, allowing an operator to see the actual point
`
`of isolation. Through the viewing window, an operator
`
`can see the isolator electrical contacts when the switch
`
`is closed and visible isolation when the switch is open,
`
`guaranteeing that the circuit is isolated.
`
`It also features vacuum interrupters with solid dielectric
`
`insulation and a unique and patent-pending drive
`
`mechanism ensuring safe operational sequence.
`
`NOJA Power's VISI-SWITCH® OLB15-16-800 has a
`
`rated maximum voltage of 15.5 kV, a rated continuous
`
`current of 800 A and a short time current withstand of
`
`16 kA (for 3 seconds).
`
`Each phase is comprised of a vacuum interrupter with
`
`solid dielectric insulation and a built-in isolator to provide
`
`physical isolation in accordance with the requirements
`
`of insulation coordination standards IEC 60071-1
`
`Insulation co-ordination — Part 1: Definition, Principles
`
`and Rules and IEC 60071-2 Insulation co-ordination —
`
`Part 2: Application Guide.
`
`The VISI-SWITCFP features a unique and patent-
`
`pending drive mechanism which connects the vacuum
`
`interrupters to the isolators and guarantees both parts
`
`of the switch will open once operation is initiated. The
`
`sequencing of the complete switching operation is

`

`dictated by the drive mechanism which rapidly opens the
`
`vacuum interrupters to break the current and then, after
`
`a short delay, opens the isolators. The viewing window
`
`embedded in the isolator bushings can be seen from
`
`the ground allowing maintenance staff to confirm that
`
`the switch has been isolated prior to commencing work.
`
`The product has been extensively type tested by
`
`independent laboratories to ensure long life and reliability
`
`under the harshest environmental conditions. The VISI-
`
`SWITCH° can operate in extreme temperatures, over
`
`VISIBLE ISOLATOR CLOSED POSITION
`
`a -40 to 55°C temperature range, 0 to 100 percent
`
`humidity, and meets specified ratings up to a height of
`
`1000 m (functional up to 3000 m with derating). The unit
`
`is designed to cope with exposure to salt spray, dust,
`
`smoke and corrosive gases, vapours and liquids. The
`
`viewing window is scratch resistant and can withstand
`
`impact such as hail according to IK08.
`
`Utilities employ three-phase load break switches to
`
`isolate sections of feeders for maintenance work. In
`
`recent years, older air break switches, which could not
`
`be operated while the feeder was under load have been
`
`replaced by gas switches. While enclosed gas switches
`
`address the reliability deficiencies of air break switches,
`
`it comes at a cost of compromised safety because
`
`maintenance staff can no longer visually check that
`
`all three phases are isolated before starting work on
`
`the feeder. SF6 has also been identified as the most
`
`potent greenhouse gas and utilities will most likely incur
`
`the cost of disposing the SF6 gas at the end of life of
`
`the switch.
`
`NOJA Power's engineers have designed the
`
`VISI-SWITCH8 to overcome the drawbacks of gas
`
`load break switches providing the linesmen with visible
`
`break confirmation that the switchgear has isolated the
`
`line, before commencing work. Furthermore, the units
`
`are far more environmentally friendly than existing
`
`solutions because the solid dielectric eliminates the use
`
`of a potent greenhouse gas. Like all other switchgear
`
`products designed and manufactured by NOJA Power it
`
`also features controlled arc fault venting.
`
`The VISI-SWITCH® demonstrates NOJA Power's
`
`ongoing commitment to the environment, quality and
`
`safety making, the VISI-SWITCH' OLB15-16-800 the
`
`ideal choice for today's smart grids.

`

`OVERVIEW
`
`NOJA Power's VISI-SWITCH® is an enclosed three
`
`phase load break switch with visible isolation. It is used
`
`to isolate sections of feeders for maintenance work so
`
`that work can be carried out in a safe manner.
`
`The VISI-SWITCH® includes an isolator and
`
`vacuum interrupter for each phase that are serially
`
`interconnected for load break application. A mechanical
`
`driving mechanism is provided for driving open and
`
`closed each pair of electrical contacts and is configured
`
`to control the sequence of the opening and closing of
`
`the contacts. The vacuum interrupter is opened- first
`
`to break current flow and then after a short delay the
`
`isolators are opened to disconnect the electrical circuit.
`
`When closing, the isolator closes first and then the
`
`vacuum interrupter, making the current.
`
`The operator can manually open and close the contacts
`
`of both the isolator and interrupter from the ground
`
`with a single motion using either an extended hook
`
`stick which reaches directly to the switch or a shorter
`
`hook stick which connects to an insulated down rod
`
`extending from the switch.
`
`The advantage of the switch is that the operator can
`
`view the isolator contacts through the viewing window,
`
`thereby readily determining the state of the switch from
`
`the ground. In particular, the operator can confirm that
`
`there is a visible break i.e. the contacts are open and
`
`that the associated circuit is safely isolated.
`
`The switch includes Isolator bushings In which the
`
`electrical Isolator contacts are located, a metal tank in
`
`which the driving mechanism is located, and interrupter
`
`bushings in which the interrupter contacts are located.
`
`The bushings and the tank are sealed together and
`
`impede the ingress of moisture thereby suiting the
`
`assembly to outdoor use. The tank is manufactured
`
`from powder coated stainless steel and is arc-fault
`
`vented. It has a 30 year operating life and the entire
`
`device is rated to IP65.

`

`VISIBLE BREAK WINDOW
`
`The viewing window allows a clear view of the state of
`
`the switch from an operator standing on the ground. The
`
`isolator contact is coated with an iridescent/reflective
`
`paint in the colour red and can be easily seen through
`
`the window even at night with the use of a torch.
`
`The window is designed to remain transparent during
`
`the entire life of the switch, without any discolouration.
`
`It is scratch resistant and can withstand extreme
`
`temperatures and weather conditions such as hailstorms
`
`and sandstorms. IK08 impact ratings are met on all
`
`parts of the switch including the viewing window.
`
`INSULATION SYSTEM
`
`The insulation system consists of the conductor system
`
`embedded in solid dielectric. External insulation is
`
`provided by silicone bushings outside of the powder
`
`coated stainless steel tank. Silicone Rubber Boots fitted
`
`over the bushings provide the necessary clearances
`
`and creepages required for the various ratings.
`
`Surge Arrestors can be mounted on all six (6) bushings
`
`and earthed through the tank. Explosive tail surge
`
`arrestors may be used and there are mounting options
`
`for the surge arrestors both at the top and bottom of
`
`the switch.

`INSTALLATION
`
`The switch can be mounted on timber poles with a
`
`spanners or alien key. All fasteners must be
`
`keyhole arrangement or concrete poles using banded
`
`capable of withstanding the maximum load
`
`straps. The following types of installations are supported:
`
`. applied by a man with a standard spanner.
`
`• Mounted to the pole above the powerline
`
`• Mounted to the pole below the powerline
`
`Prior to mounting on the pole, the switch must be fitted
`
`to the mounting bracket and all surge arrestors and'
`
`cable tails fitted.
`
`The hanging bracket can be mounted above or below
`
`the cross arm depending on the customer's preferred
`
`installation location.
`
`The switch is completely symmetrical so it can be
`.
`mounted with the hook stick operator facing toward the
`
`pole or away from the pole.
`
`The switch assembly can be fixed to the pole via a
`
`crane, pole mounted hoist or EPV. Lifting points are
`
`provided to allow for lifting of the assembled switch..
`
`The switch is to remain within 15 degrees of horizontal
`
`whilst lifting. An M12 stud on the switch is provided for
`
`an earth connection. A minimum thickness of 35nim2
`
`copper conductor must be used.

`RESUMEN
`
`El VISI-SWITCHD de NOJA Power es un seccionador
`
`bajo carga trifasico con aislamiento visible. Se utilize
`
`para aislar secciones de un alimentador para trabajos
`
`de mantenimiento, de tal manera que dichos trabajos
`
`se puedan Ilevar a cabo de una manera segura.
`
`El VISI-SWITCH® incluye un aislador e interruptor de
`
`vacfo para cada una de las fases que estan conectadas
`
`en serie para interruption de carga. El equipo cuenta
`
`con un mecanismo de accionamiento mecanico para
`
`abrir y cerrar cada par de contactos electricos y este
`
`configurado para controlar la secuencia de aperture y
`
`cierre de los contactos. El interruptor de vado se abre
`
`VISI-SWITCH. VISTA FRONTAL
`
`primero para detener el flujo de corriente y despues
`
`de un breve tiempo se abren los aisladores para
`
`desconectar el circuito electric°. En el momento del
`
`cierre, se cierra primero el aislador y luego el interruptor
`
`de \info, reestableciendo asf la corriente.
`
`El operador puede abrir y cerrar manualmente los
`
`contactos del aislador e interruptor de veer° desde
`
`el suelo con un solo movimiento usando ya sea un
`
`gancho que vaya directo al seccionador o un gancho
`
`mas corto que se conecte a una barra aislada que bale
`
`desde el seccionador.
`
`La ventaja del seccionador es que el operador puede
`
`ver los contactos del aislador a traves de la ventana
`
`de visualization, de este modo puede facilmente
`
`determinar el estado del seccionador desde el suelo.
`
`En particular, el operador puede confirmar que existe
`
`aislamiento visible, es decir, que los contactos estan
`
`abiertos y el circuito asociado esta aislado seguramente.
`
`El seccionador incluye bushings aisladores en
`
`los cuales se encuentran los contactos electricos
`
`aisladores, un tanque metatico en el cual se encuentra
`
`el mecanismo accionador y bushings interruptores en
`
`los cuales se encuentran los contactos interr:uptores.
`
`Los bushings y el tanque son sellados en conjunto
`
`impidiendo la entrada de humedad, permitiendo su
`
`use a la intemperie. El tanque es fabricado en acero
`
`inoxidable y cuenta con ventilation de fella de arco.
`
`El equipo tiene una vida (Ail de 30 atios y el conjunto
`
`completo este clasificado segtin IP65.

`

`VENTANA DE VISUALIZACION
`
`La ventana de visualizaciOn permite una clara vista del
`
`estado del seccionador al operador desde el suelo.
`
`El contacto del aislador este cubierto con pintura
`
`iridiscente/reflectante de color rojo y puede ser vista
`
`fecilmente a traves de la ventana incluso en Ia noche
`
`con el use de una linterna.
`
`La ventana este. disenada para permanecer
`
`transparente durante toda la vide titil del seccionador,
`
`sin sufrir ninguna decoloraciOn. Es resistente a los
`
`rayones y puede soportar temperatures extremes y
`
`condiciones climaticas como tormentas de granizo y
`
`tormentas de arena. Todas las partes del seccionador
`
`incluyendo la ventana de visualizaciOn cumplen con las
`
`especificaciones IK08.
`
`SISTEMA DE AISLAMIENTO
`
`El Sistema de aislacion consiste de un sistema
`
`conductor embebido en dielectrico sOlido. AislaciOn
`
`externa es provista por bushings de silicone fuera del
`
`tanque de acero inoxidable. Botas de silicone colocadas
`
`sobre los bushings proveen las holguras necesarias
`
`para los diversos modelos.
`
`Se pueden montar pararrayos en los 6 bushings con
`
`conexiOn a tierra a travos del tanque. Es posible user
`
`descargadores de sobretensiOn y el equipo cuenta
`
`con opciones de montaje para ellos tanto en la parte
`
`superior como en Ia parte inferior del seccionador.

`la carga maxima aplicada por un hombre con una
`
`tipos de instalaciOn son permitidos:
`
`(lave °standar.
`
`• InstalaciOn en poste sobre la lines electrica
`
`• Instalacien en poste debajo de la Ifnea electrica
`
`Antes de instalar en el poste, el seccionador debe estar
`
`en el soporte de montaje y todos los pararrayos y cables
`
`deben estar instalados.
`
`El soporte colgante se puede montar por encima
`
`o debajo del brazo transversal dependiendo de la
`
`ubicacion preferida por el cliente.
`
`El seccionador es completamente simetrico, por lo que
`
`se puede montar con el gancho mirando hacia el poste
`
`u opuesto al poste.
`
`El ensamblaje del seccionador en el poste se puede
`
`Ilevar a cabo con una grua, tecle en el poste o plataforma
`
`elevadora. El equipo cuenta con ganchos de izaje para
`
`permitir levantar el seccionador ensamblado.
`
`El seccionador debe permanecer dentro de 15 grados
`
`horizontales mientras se levanta. Se proporciona un
`
`perno M12 con el seccionador para conexiOn a tierra.
`
`Se debe usar un conductor de cobre de 35mm2.
