Suitable far almost any applica- tion, the conductor deadends right to the frame, Its simplistic, easily-mounted construction and flexible configurations makes it truly a Switch for all Reasons. With their heritage firmly en- trenched in similar lines of Trans- mission switches, Turner “D” switches are one of the most wer satile, severe-duty, crossarm- mounted switching, products available. Their flexible mounting abil makes it ideal in phase-over phase, delta and phase-next-to- phase configurations on poles, platforms and substation struc- tures. Transmission, substation and platform mounted switches are extremely difficult and costly to remove from service, so Tumer's philosophy is t0 design in reli- ability ‘The “D0” switch is the most versa tile. Designed as a “stock switch* A rigid, hard drawn copper blade with patented locking de- vice, silver-to-copper contacts, double spring. arcing homs and sealed hinge contacts provides heavy-duty construction Add to this Turner's more than 49 years of ficld proven experi ence in air break switches ane you have maximum switching, reliability Two insulator stack construction instead of the traditional three reduces cost of mater bly and installation. Thisall adds up to what we call Switch Ability! Turner Type "D® switches can be used for tation isalating and bypassing, distribution and transmission line sectionalizing. oF isolating. arrestors, metering. equipment and other apparatus.

They are easily upgraded for automatic operation and load breaking Several factory designs and fabs icated steel and aluminum switch mounting platforms are available for various line de ans. Custom designs are also available, Quality may cost more to buy, but it always costs less to own! Turning the operating lever rotates the main vertical operating shatt which moves the insulator stack with the main contact blade. The turning motion rotates the contact blade to facilitate a smooth, effort: less positive opening motion. This action releases contact pressure within the spring jaw assembly which helps maintain a clean con: tact surface, and enhance ice- or contamination-breaking actian. During closing, the main blade contacts remain in the straight or “cammed up" position, allowing Type “D” Operating Features Type “D" switches are operated ‘rom ground level with a standard 2"IPS steel vertical operating pipe assembly with a manual swing handle lever, The control lever in- corporates a ground shunt, is padiockable and can be supplied for clockwise or counterclockwise ‘aperation. A steel shaft with self iniercing sot screw clevises is used for coupling and pinning the switch. Electrohydraulic motor op- ‘erators are: available for remote, automatic or SCADA control. 2 contact cleaning action, id locking device holds the blade securely in the jaw Double spring quick-whips inter. rupt limited amounts of charging or load currents when opening, Arcing is kept away from main contact surfaces, If the magnitude of the current exceeds the quick- \whip capability, a TECOrupter full Toad break vacuum intermupter is available.

Beryllium copper backing springs apply continuous pressure around the con- tact shoes This hinge configuration assures maximum service life ancl ‘minimum maintenance. Enclosed Hinge Machanisen The high constant pressure contact shoes are of cast, heat- treated, high-conductivity Beryllium-copper. Although coo: loct pressure is factoryadjusted, should field adjustment ever be mecestiry, it can easily be made. In addition, contact changeout is fast and easy The tubular blade is designed of hard-drawn copper to pro- vide the proper combination of current-carrying capacity and Figidity, The blade tip is Berylium-copper, heat treated and strato-milled to provide a rmachined current transfer surface, The coinsilver overlays provides high pressure, silver to-cop- perconlact with the Berylium-copper jaw surfaces when the tip is in the jaw “The blade tip engages the jaw contacts in.an upright condi- tion to forma high-pressure contact. The blade and jaw con- tacts are wiped clean during the closing ation toassure a lew resistance current transfer. A patented blade locking device keeps the blade cloved despite temporary faults, surge cur- rents, twisting structures or galloping conductors. Double ‘spring type quick whips provide time-proven interruption of limited amounts of charging and load current. ‘The opening action of the Tumer Transmission switch is unique. Prior to the blade disengaging from the jaw eantact, ‘the blade contact rotates 22 degrees in the jaw. This exclu: ‘ive Turner action releases all onact friction andreas any ice 0 contamination in the jaw area which may impede an ‘easy opening pracedure. The Turner switch provides effort {es swrch opening regardless of environmental o time ef oct The high pressure wiping action of Silver to Beryl- Tium-copper during. clasing gives new equipment ‘conductivity even after years of service. Assembly ‘The main pivot bearing assembly consists of two tapered Timken roller bearings, which are adjusted and lubricated at the Factory and require no further attention forthe life of the switeh, These bearings are protected with a Neoprene seal and permanently sealed at the bottom with a Welch-type expansion plug. This unit will accommodate cap-and-pin or post-type insulators with cout the use of an extra casting Four leveling screws are provided on the subsbase of each insulator stack, to facilitate easy alignment after assembling the insulators on the switch. Adjusting the screws raises or lowers the end of the switch blade and orients the blade to contact interface correctly, Tightening the insulator bolts holds the alignment fast, Leveling screws are also provided an all stationary insulator pedestals Mounting Flexibility To accommodate the variety of transmission structures and lo- cations, Turner offers a similar variety of operating and mount. ing configurations. Controls can be supplied for élockwise or counterclockwise opening if requested, or may be changed in the field as necessary. Turner's standard operating mechanisms for side-break switches consist of vertical steel operating pipe, with or with: ‘out an $-f00t fiberglass insulating section; a stee! oF fiberglass interphase shat, with selt-piercing set screw clevises for coup~ ling and pinning, to switch crank arm and vertical pipe guides be yesuy warts Ceyrer iio} Bs. 15-69 kV ering Assembly 2- SAY Bearing Assembly Hed { r+ I Prvot joint Pipe TF coupling tS 7 | re Same |i eect efestaa metres eye oriteye Full Load Va rupters The Turner TECO-Rupter is a vacuum circuit interrupter that fered asan atiachment to the Turner switch as well as designs of other switch manufacturers, I is offered in three (3) basic configurations anel ccan be attached to vertical break, sige break, hookstick and some con: ter break switch designs.
