Compact and easily installed, TRIMOD™ reclosers can be applied in substations as well as on riser poles. They feature advanced,
microprocessor-based relay control for easy coordination with upstream and downstream devices such as:
• Substation circuit breakers
• Sectionalizers
• Line fuses (for fuse savings or fuse clearing schemes)
• Existing reclosers

The TRIMOD™ 100 Recloser contains no oil or gas for interruption or insulation.
The 40-year field-proven Joslyte solid dielectric insulation system provides dielectric
strength around the vacuum interrupter without the danger of leaks or environmental hazards.
Traditional single-phase reclosers with hydraulic controls have difficulty maintaining accuracy
over time, particularly through temperature variations. This can affect coordination and limit
protection flexibility. Conversely, the TRIMOD™ 100 Series Recloser features microprocessor-
based PowerMAX control. Its accuracy does not change over time or with temperature
variations, thus enabling better and more reliable protection coordination.
For user convenience, manual operating handles are located on the recloser. The yellow
handle permits mechanical opening and mechanically actuated, electrical closing of the
recloser. The non-reclosing lever provides the capability of blocking reclosing after the first TRIMOD™ 100 Series Vacuum-Interrupting,

Overview
Switched capacitor banks can dramatically reduce losses caused by the reactive
Switching
component of the load. The resistance of the feeder conductors causes about 60%
of a system’s energy loss. Thus, it is important to locate the power capacitors on the
feeders as close to the loads as practical. Losses can be reduced by 89% by installing
one bank that is only two-thirds as large as the peak load KVAr. Typically, the VAr sensing
control should be set to switch the bank to close when the load inductive current equals
two-thirds of the bank capacitive current. Even though this scheme drives the line leading
when the bank is first turned on and before it is turned off, the loss reduction is optimum
for a single bank.
The reduction in reactive current caused by a switched power capacitor also reduces the
total line current. This reduction in kVA demand during heavy load periods has a number
of benefits:
When one bank on a feeder is switched on, the entire feeder voltage, upstream
and downstream from the bank, is increased. Additional banks on the line will
add to the voltage rise, so that all active capacitors contribute to the shape of
the voltage profile along the entire feeder.
Joslyn Hi-Voltage™ capacitor and reactor switches, together with Fisher Pierce®
capacitor controls, provide a complete solution to optimize losses, voltage,
kVA demand and, ultimately, revenue in electrical systems from 15 to 230kV.
Overview
VerSaVac®
Three-Phase Switch
15kV–38kV
provides an operational life of more than 100,000 (50,000 open/50,000 close) maintenance-free
operations — greater than other switches used for pole-top capacitor switching. Specifically
Switching
designed as a replacement for maintenance-intensive oil switches, the VerSaVac switch can be
Three-Phase
used as a direct replacement on existing capacitor banks or supplied by capacitor manufacturers
on new banks. The VerSaVac switch not only results in substantial savings from reduced
Single-Phase
maintenance and maximized capacitor bank uptime, but also improves power quality.
• Synchronized operation from a fast, repeatable solenoid operating mechanism ensures all phases will operate
within 1⁄4 cycle — unlike slow motor-operated devices — reducing recovery voltage when the bank is
switched off, which in turn reduces electrical stress on capacitor bank insulation
• Optional Zero Voltage Closing (ZVC) Control mitigates transients associated with bringing capacitor banks
online, virtually eliminating costly customer equipment damage resulting from voltage spikes created when
switching capacitor banks
• Retrofits to existing oil switch power supply transformer impedances and existing 14 AWG oil switch wiring*
• Optional manual trip lever not mechanically connected to operating mechanism to eliminate wear during
normal operation
* See I 750-271 Single-Phase VerSaVac® Switch Installation and Operating Procedure for complete details.

One or two vacuum modules are mounted on each line-to-ground insulator and connected to the operating mechanism by a high-strength pull
rod. The operating mechanism is completely sealed in a housing that supports the line-to-ground insulators and the modules. An environmental
protection system in the housing, consisting of a breather chamber and desiccant, prevents moisture and contaminated air from entering the switch
operator, and an “Open/Closed” position indicator is directly coupled to the mechanism. The entire assembly can withstand a force of several G’s
without damage.
Stored-energy operating mechanisms, which can be operated manually or electrically, move the contacts at high speed and are unaffected by control
voltage fluctuation or manual operating speed. Each switch features an operation counter. A wide range of AC and DC voltage control package
options are available. All electrical control connections to the operating mechanism are made through a single environmental-control cable connector.

Varmaster VBM switches have terminal pads made of aluminum alloy with standard NEMA two-hole drilling. The electrical connection at the terminal
pad must be treated with Alcoa No. 2 joint compound or equivalent. Remove the brown paper from the terminal pad before making electrical
connections. Wire brushing through the compound will improve the connection.

Switching
VBU capacitor switches can be applied on 69kV to 230kV systems. The flexibility of their modular design
makes a change in the voltage rating of VBU capacitor switches as simple as adding or subtracting the
appropriate number of vacuum contact modules.
VBU capacitor switches are free of explosive or combustible materials and are designed to be virtually
maintenance-free. Normal operation inspections should be conducted every 5–10 years or 10,000 operations.
Testing, when required, is fast and easy.
VBU capacitor switches ship completely assembled and adjusted. They are lightweight and easy to install,
requiring a minimum of structural support and space. Less expensive to purchase and install than circuit
breakers, they are often mounted on potential transformer stands and offer quiet yet high-speed operation.

Joslyn Hi-Voltage™ distribution sectionalizers are designed to improve reliability of distribution systems by
isolating faults and outages to a small number of customers. Applications include automatic sectionalizing,
automatic transfer systems and/or remote supervisory control with optional dead-line switching capability.

Overview
reclosing sectionalizers.
Joslyn Hi-Voltage™ reclosing sectionalizers are used on distribution feeders to reduce
the customer impact of permanent faults and to further improve the circuit reliability.
Typically, sectionalizers are used on a line downstream from a recloser or a breaker
in the substation. The function of a sectionalizer is not to interrupt a faulted line,
but to operate in a coordinated manner with reclosing operation. Joslyn Hi-Voltage
distribution controls can be provided with different operating logic depending on
the application:
• Automatic sectionalizing
• Open-tie logic
• Automatic source transfer
• Remote supervisory control interface

Reclosing Sectionalizers with Voltage-Time (V-T) Controls
The V-T controls used with the Joslyn Hi-Voltage™ reclosing sectionalizer sense the presence or absence of line voltage on the system. Sensing
voltage rather than current eliminates the problems inherent in coordinating with the time-current characteristics of reclosers or breakers.
V-T controls operate in the following sequence:
Overview
The control circuit of S1 senses that line voltage has been restored and initiates the control’s Open Loop System —
close timer. When the close timer completes its cycle, S1 closes. A second adjustable timer Reclosing Sectionalizers
called the lockout timer immediately begins its timing cycle. If S1 has closed into a fault, then
R1 will sense the fault and open. Upon loss of potential to S1, S1 will also open during the
period the line is de-energized. Since S1 opens while its lockout timer is timing, S1 will be in R1 S1 S2
a locked-out state and will not close again automatically. The S2 sectionalizer downline will F1
remain open because of an added time delay set in the close timer of S2, so that the S3
sectionalizer would not close unless S1 closes and resets. When R1 recloses, it restores all
customers up to the open and locked-out S1. S1 must be reset before it can be closed R2 S4 S5
and/or begin any additional automatic operation. Note that if the fault was upstream from S1,
Sectionalizers
R1 would open and lock out to isolate the faulted section. S1 would open on loss of voltage Figure 1
and remain open but would not lock out.
During the process of the S1 sectionalizer locking out, S2’s source-side voltage input senses line voltage coming and going in a short duration,
providing the S2 control with the capability to recognize that a permanent fault occurred upstream. Based on this capability, the S2 control will
actually open and lock out, completely isolating the other side of the faulted area. The S3 sectionalizer, programmed with the available O-T Logic,
will automatically sense the loss of potential on one side and close after a predetermined delay in order to restore all customers on the non-faulted
section of the circuit between S2 and S3. The same logic and sequence of events would occur on the R2 side of the loop scheme shown in Figure 1.
Radial Feeds with Lateral Taps Figure 2 is similar to Figure 1, except this circuit is a standard radial
feeder with the addition of a tapped line between the series of three
Joslyn Hi-Voltage reclosing sectionalizers. If we assume that the tapped
R1 S1 S2 S3 line is long and relatively less reliable than the main feeder, the Joslyn
F1 Hi-Voltage reclosing sectionalizers can be used effectively to isolate the
Figure 2 unreliable line and maintain service to the section of line between recloser
R1 and S1. In the series combination sectionalizers utilizing V-T Logic,
all sectionalizers open when R1 senses a fault, opens and de-energizes the line. As the system attempts to restore the line and isolate the faulted
area, each sectionalizer independently closes and resets until the faulted area is encountered and isolated. In this figure, the fault F1 is on the lateral
tap between S2 and S3, so after the series of operations, R1 and S1 will close to restore the load, S2 will open and enter into a lockout state (based
on the same logic as described for S1 in Figure 1) and S3 will be open but not locked out.

Overview
Heat Run — During the heat run, the Series RF-2 switch’s temperature rose
less than 30˚ C above ambient at each thermocouple location. This lower
temperature rise results in a much longer service life due to lower stress on
copper parts and less corrosion.
34.5kV 3,000A Series RF-2 Switch with MVI
Impulse and Open Break Tests — The 161kV, 1,600A Series RF-2 switch
more than met NEMA standards requiring open-break withstand test voltage 10%
in excess of 750kV. Radio noise and corona tests revealed no visible corona in
complete darkness.
Life Test — The 161kV, 1,600A Series RF-2 switch showed no visible excessive
wear after 10,000 operations.
Ice Test — Blades of the 161kV, 1,600A Series RF-2 switch were frozen closed before Underhung Application
the start of the first ice test. Even under extreme icing conditions, subsequent operation
proved the ability of the switch to clear the contacts. Cold-room tests were conducted on
switches preset in both the open and closed positions. Water at 34˚ F was sprayed on the
pole units and operating mechanisms while room temperature was maintained at 25˚ F for
Disconnect Switches
12 hours. After an additional three hours setting time, the Series RF-2 switches were
operated and proved capable of breaking and clearing ice from the contact structures.
Because they run cooler than other switch designs, Series RF-2 Switches suffer
less oxidation and corrosion to yield a longer service life. They were originally tested
in accordance with ANSI Standard C37.70-1962, which allowed a more severe
temperature rise of 30° C above a 40° C ambient while carrying rated current.
Silver-surfaced, U-shaped stationary contacts actually increase pressure on the switch blade during momentary current flow, helping to lock the blade
in place. Insulated stainless steel backup springs maintain constant pressure. A replaceable arc horn diverts current away from the primary contacts
during opening and closing, eliminating contact pitting and erosion.
The Series RF-2 Switch is available in voltage ratings from 15kV through 230kV, for currents from 600A through 3,000A. The horn-gap-type is capable
of interrupting magnetizing currents and relatively low charging currents.

Load Interrupter
Expand the capabilities
of disconnect switches. Attachments
Joslyn Hi-Voltage™ load interrupter attachments improve your operational efficiency and
flexibility — and reduce the number of circuit breaker operations — by enabling the use of
disconnect switches for applications such as loop sectionalizing, line dropping, load breaking
and transformer-magnetizing current interruption. Devices that provide multiple functions on a
single switch, like the Joslyn Hi-Voltage Series LSI Load Sectionalizer Interrupter, also increase
personnel safety because they can eliminate the hazards of switch misoperation.
Overview
Joslyn Hi-Voltage load interrupter attachments do not in any way reduce the rating of the
disconnect switch, nor do they violate the coordinated open gap design of the switch. Joslyn
Hi-Voltage interrupter attachments include custom-designed mounting brackets and arc horns to
ensure that interrupters are properly transitioned into the circuit when the disconnect switch opens.
In addition, the arc horns are designed to withstand the prestrike developed upon closing of the switch.
Joslyn Hi-Voltage load interrupter attachments are designed for a 30-year life and can be operated
5,000 times without any maintenance.

horns are designed to handle prestrikes upon closing of the switch. Applications include 2,000A
load breaking up to 34.5kV for solidly grounded systems and parallel switching up to 230kV.
Add the Joslyn Hi-Voltage Voltage Limiter (V/L) Attachment to interrupt line charging current
of 15A up to 69kV.
Overview
Load Dropping
Loads are being fed from one source, and opening the switch will disconnect the loads from that source.
The interrupter needs to be able to interrupt the continuous load current at the system voltage. This is rarely
done since it interrupts service to customers, and is usually
specified only as a safety measure in case of an emergency.
Loop Sectionalizing
Loads are being fed from multiple sources, and a switch in the circuit needs to be opened. The interrupter
needs to be able to interrupt the circulating current between the two energized sources. When the switch is
open, both sides will still be energized at the system voltage. The recovery voltage is typically low, but currents
can be high.

Products used in this application:
• Series UVI (230kV and below, unless peak recovery voltage
is greater than 30kV)
• Series JMVI (if peak recovery voltage is greater than 30kV)
Load Load
Overview
Underground Cable
Many factors determine the amount of cable charging current, such as the cable insulation material and geometry of the conductors. A common
guideline for determining the charging current is to use 1.5A per 1,000 ft. of cable; however, it is always recommended to contact the cable
manufacturer to obtain the exact charging current for a particular cable.
Transformer-Magnetizing Current
When a transformer is energized and no load is connected to it, a small amount of current still flows.
This current is called transformer-magnetizing current. When the transformer is de-energized, the recovery
voltage will be high, because the system voltage will be seen on the source side of the switch and a charge
will be trapped on the other side of the switch.
Products used in this application:
• Series UVI (34.5kV and below; up to 69kV
with Voltage Limiter)
Load Interrupter
Overview
The Series LSI Load Sectionalizer Interrupter combines the functions of both low charging current interruption and higher current loop sectionalizing.
To accomplish this, the Series LSI Load Sectionalizer Interrupter consists of two complementary devices connected in parallel:
• Series UVI Universal Vac-Rupter Interrupter
• Series HVI Hi-Velocity Interrupter
The UVI device interrupts the high current associated with loop sectionalizing, and the HVI device interrupts the line charging current. During an
opening operation, the two interrupters are mechanically controlled so that the vacuum contact opens prior to the separation of the HVI device. If the
recovery voltage is within the capability of the UVI device, the UVI device interrupts the circuit. If the recovery voltage exceeds the capability of the UVI
device, a spark gap will ignite and instantly place the HVI device in the circuit. The HVI device will then interrupt the circuit. The mechanical operation
of the Series LSI Load Sectionalizer Interrupter is the same every time it is operated. The determining factor as to which interrupter is used is the
magnitude of the recovery voltage.
In the figure below, Series LSI Load Sectionalizer Interrupters are installed on both switches. When Switch 1 is opened while Switch 2 is closed, loop
sectionalizing will be performed. Because the recovery voltage is low, the UVI device interrupts the loop current. When Switch 2 is subsequently
opened, the higher recovery voltage associated with line dropping will result in the HVI device being inserted into the circuit. The HVI device will then
interrupt the line charging current.
The significant advantage of the Series LSI Load Sectionalizing Interrupter is that the switches can be opened in any sequence, because this device
automatically inserts the correct interrupting device in the circuit. This provides operational flexibility and is inherently safer than specific function
devices. Some advantages are:
• Reduce switching time
• Eliminate misoperation due
to switching errors

• Increase personnel safety
• Reduce breaker operations

Design Features
Each Series LSI Interrupter consists of a vacuum interrupter
(UVI) and an articulated spring rod interrupter (HVI) or a
voltage limiter (V/L). A gap-type sensor measures the
recovery voltage across the switch when the spring rod is
supplied. If the recovery voltage is within the capability of
the vacuum interrupter — which will be the case in the
reduced recovery voltage loop-splitting situation — the
circuit will be interrupted within the vacuum interrupter. If the
recovery voltage exceeds the capability of the vacuum
interrupter — which will be the case if another switch in the
loop has already opened — the voltage limiter will function,
or the gap-type sensor will trigger and insert the articulated
spring rod to interrupt the line charging current. Therefore, it
Series LSI Interrupter
doesn’t matter which switch is opened first. The Series LSI with Voltage Limiter
Interrupter will automatically determine the required function
and insert the correct interrupter. Use of the Series LSI Load

the possibility of switching sequence error.

make this loadbreak switch the unique solution for your one-of-a-kind application.
Overview
Loadbreak switching.
A high-voltage circuit with several hundred thousand volts requires a special switch for
reliable operation. This device is known as a loadbreak switch. A loadbreak switch is able to
carry a large amount of current without overheating in the closed position. Furthermore, it has
enough insulation to isolate a circuit in the open position and is equipped with ways to
interrupt the load current.
For insulating and interrupting, the three-position switch uses low-pressure SF6 gas with
a linear puffer contact system for quick arc extinguishing performance during loadbreak
operations.
Contact system assembled in the switch
SF6 is chemically stable, does not react with other substances at room temperature and is
useful in electrical power systems. When high- or medium-voltage equipment (such as a
circuit breaker) cuts off power during a fault, an electric arc strikes between the circuit
breaker contacts. Breaker contacts filled with SF6 are electrically insulating and effectively
extinguish arcs. SF6 insulates so well because it is strongly electronegative. In other words,
the SF6 gas molecules catch free electrons and build heavy negative ions that do not move
quickly. This electrical property prevents the creation of electron avalanches that may lead to
flashovers.

built-in reliability.
The Joslyn Hi-Voltage™ Three-Position SF6 Loadbreak Switch is designed to operate in
underground or auxiliary substation applications. It has three-phase 15kV or 27kV interrupter
assemblies connected by a set of main bus bars to operate in various configurations as
a network interrupter. The apparatus assembly with its set of bus bars and contacts is
enclosed in a stainless steel tank, hermetically sealed and SF6 pressurized, making it
completely submersible and deadfront.
A permanent connection to a high-voltage network is made via 600A (ANSI 386) deadbreak
connectors on the apparatus bushing. If the SG6TG model is equipped with the ground/test
bushing option, connection to the ground position is accomplished via the same 600A
deadbreak connectors (independent for the A, B and C phases). This connection enables
testing of the switch and/or cables through the bushings.
Overview
Underground
Switchgear
The switch features a single-handle, three-position operating mechanism. It enables operating personnel to go from a closed to an open position
and then to a ground/test position to safely ground the switch and system without having to remove connections to the switch.
The switch can be configured for two, three and four switched ways with 600A deadbreak bushings. It operates in both submersible and padmounted
applications and can be supplied with either a manual operator or an integrated motor operator for remote control via SCADA. What’s more, the motor
operator enables the switch to be operated without removing mechanical linkages in either mode.
The switch can also be supplied with a number of options, including viewing ports for visual confirmation of contact positions, grounding bushings
to provide a convenient way of testing underground cables and integrated remote supervisory control packages for remote SCADA applications.
