GN19-12 Indoor High-Voltage Isolating Switch

The GN19-12(C) series indoor high-voltage disconnectors are essential switchgear for power systems with a rated voltage of 12kV and frequency of 50Hz or below. Equipped with the 036-1 manual operating mechanism, they are used to open and close circuits under energized but no-load conditions. There are also derivative products, such as anti-pollution type, high-altitude type, and versions fitted with live-line indicating devices. They are suitable for environments: altitude ≤1000m, ambient temperature -30℃ to +40℃, relative humidity ≤90% at +25℃, seismic intensity ≤8, and free from fire, explosion risk, severe pollution, chemical corrosion and intense vibration.

Main Structure and Working Principle

The GN19-12 series disconnectors are available in flat-mounted (GN19-12) and wall-through (GN19-12C1) versions. Each phase of the GN19-12 conductive part is fixed to the base frame via two post insulators, while the GN19-12C1 uses one insulator and one porcelain bushing. Both types are installed in three parallel phases. The conductive part consists of contact blades and contacts; each contact blade is connected to the main shaft on the base frame via a tie rod insulator. The main shaft links to the CS6-1 operating mechanism through cranks and connecting rods, with a connecting rod (user-supplied) on the mechanism driving the auxiliary switch.
Each contact blade is made of two grooved copper plates, which increases heat dissipation area and mechanical strength, improving dynamic stability. Contact pressure is maintained by contact springs. The 1000A and 1250A versions have magnetic-locking plates at contacts to boost pressure, enhancing dynamic and thermal stability; 400A and 630A versions omit these plates due to lower current ratings and closer blade spacing. The CS6-1 mechanism has a self-locking device to hold the disconnector in open or closed positions.
