Two-Way Switches

Type: 2G (airbreak) and 2GL (loadbreak)
Orientation: Phase-Over-Phase
Voltage: 15 – 230 KV

Current: 600, 1200, 2000 and 3000 Ampere

Description
Side-break style switch in a phase-over-phase configuration, with horizontal upright mounting on an aluminum support structure. Two individual switch pole units are arranged in an integral design, sharing insulators, interrupters, and other switch components. Provides switching for both alternate sources; tap line is hot.

Application
Two-way switches are frequently used for line taps, ties, and sectionalizing. Phase-over-phase arrangements are especially appropriate where restricted right-of-way or difficult terrain make other switch/structure configurations unworkable.

Features & Benefits

  • Small footprint minimizes right-of-way requirement
  • Excellent ice-breaking characteristics
  • Reduces construction costs and time vs other switch configurations
  • Clean visual appearance, less objections from communities
  • Provides design flexibility to system designers
