DC Switchgears 600...3300 V.   Negative Switchgears

 
Negative Switchgears are used in city transport and underground traction substations for isolation of negative busbar.

Switchgear design provides: 
  • high reliability and maintainability; 
  • easy access for internal inspection; 
  • convenient access to measuring devices, as well as to components; 
  • maintenance with standard tools
Negative Switchgears for city electric transport (tram, trolleybus) - are subdivided in two types: modular-type and line-type. Modular-type switchgears are provided for rectifiers negative busbars connection to main negative busbar. Negative line-type switchgears are provided for overhead network outgoing feeders connection to substation negative busbar
