Horizontal knee disconnectors upto 550kV – GW57

Maximum reliability and minimal maintenance

Horizontal knee disconnector type GW57

is mainly used for outdoor installations.
It requires smallest spaces in both
horizontal and vertical directions due to
minimum phase-to-phase distance and
reduced overall height of the arm in open
position.

Features
–– Designed and tested in accordance with latest
IEC specification
–– Maintenance free contact system with spring to
provide reliable combining forces
–– Simple and reliable interlocking system
–– Easy installation and commissioning
–– Easy and convenient operation with motor
operating device
–– R emote operation possible with SCADA and
remote monitoring through GPS connectivity
