12kV Indoor High Voltage Disconnect Switch with Earthing Switch
The GN30-12D Vertical Rotary High Voltage Disconnect Switch is a 12kV indoor disconnect switch (isolating switch) with an integrated earthing switch, specifically designed for XGN, HXGN ring main units (RMUs), medium-voltage switchgear, and compact substations.
It provides a visible isolation gap and reliable grounding protection, ensuring the safety of maintenance personnel during equipment inspection and servicing. Featuring a compact vertical rotary mechanism, the GN30-12D is widely used in industrial power distribution systems, utility substations, commercial buildings, renewable energy projects, and prefabricated substations.
Designed for 12kV, 50/60Hz medium-voltage power systems, the switch offers high mechanical reliability, low maintenance requirements, and excellent insulation performance for long-term operation.
The GN30-12D combines ON, OFF, and EARTH positions into one compact mechanism, providing safe switching and grounding while reducing installation space inside switchgear panels.
A clearly visible disconnection point allows operators to verify circuit isolation before maintenance, meeting international safety requirements for medium-voltage equipment.
The integrated earthing switch quickly grounds de-energized circuits, improving maintenance safety and reducing the risk.
- Silver-plated tulip contacts reduce contact resistance.
- Low temperature rise during continuous rated-current operation.
- Stable conductivity and long electrical service life.
The reinforced flame-retardant insulating frame provides:
- Excellent dielectric strength
- High creepage resistance
- Superior resistance to partial discharge
- Long-term performance in humid and dusty environments
A reliable mechanical interlocking system prevents incorrect switching between the isolation and earthing positions, complying with standard five-interlock safety requirements for medium-voltage switchgear.
All conductive components feature anti-corrosion surface treatment, ensuring excellent durability under industrial operating conditions with minimal maintenance.
