Switchgear with Shorting Contactor

Switchgear with Shorting Contactor  is provided for automatic short-circuiting of track rail insulated joint (rolling stock maintenance inspection track section) during voltage supply to metro line contact rail.

Main advantages:  
  •  high degree of unification and reliability,
  •  dimensional parametres decrease,
  •  repair-and-renewal operations time decrease,
  •  easiness in service and handling safety. 

Switchgear with Shorting Contactor is interchangeable  with contactor cabinets used on existing metro lines.

Design

Switchgear with Shorting Contactor is manufactured in RITTAL (Germany) casing and is a one-side serviced complete device, including contactor, protection and lighting devices.

Structurally switchgear consists of a cabinet and base. Power contactor and control elements are installed in the cabinet. Base is provided for cabinet installation on its proper location. 

Power cables are ingoing into the cabinet from below.

Switching of contactor is done automatically in case of voltage supply from substation feeding line to contact line of rolling stock maintenance inspection track section. Connection of contactor to control system is provided with double-pole automatic circuit-breaker. 

Power supply to contactor coil is 220 V, 50 Hz.

IP-54 protection class.
