by providing each disconnector pole with one or two earthing
switches.
Regulations
The eDB Disconnectors are designed as per IEC 62271-102

and IEC 62271-1 standards. Other international regulations
can be met on request.
Type tests on the disconnectors are carried out by accredited

testing laboratories in accordance with the latest regulations.
Comprehensive electrical and mechanical routine tests are
carried out on the poles and operating mechanism of each
disconnector ensuring world class quality.

(Corrosion – free electrical and mechanical joints)
Dead center interlocking for reliability under extreme

conditions
The dead center interlocking of operating mechanisms ensure
that there are no inadvertent changes in the open or close
switching position even under extreme external conditions
such as storms, earthquakes etc.
Superior design of mechanical interlock

The mechanical interlock between the earthing switch and
main blade is designed in a way such that there is no scope
for malfunction.
Fixed contact and terminal pad of 1600 A eDB
Ice breaking capacity
The disconnectors are capable of operating under severe ice
conditions.
Strong rotary pedestals

This ensures that the deflection remains unchanged at high
mechanical loads.
Suitable for wide range of environmental conditions

The disconnectors can operate in a wide range of
temperatures as well as under polluted environmental
conditions.
Minimal maintenance
Superior material and lubricant used in the encapsulation
of the pedestals makes the disconnectors practically
maintenance-free.

Three phase operation is conducted via mechanical or

For maximum reliability the main contacts of the disconnector

shortly before they reach the end positions. This prevents
accidental opening or closing of the units due to external
influences (e.g. short-circuits, storm, earthquake).
