Railway Disconnectors and Load Switches

The railway network has to be globally interconnected, and the connection between systems with different voltages and frequencies (electrical borders) can only be achieved through the disconnecting points that decouple them.

Disconnectors are an essential element of the supply systems (overhead conductors or ground level wires) that feed the trains. Their function is to disconnect the cells that make up the line in order to supply energy only when a train is running.

S2V Load Switch S2V Load Switch up to 2,000 A
The S2V is a new generation load switch specifically designed for railway applications and based on a well-proven design to provide both reliability and high performance over the years.
S2DA Center Break Disconnectors S2DA Center Break Disconnectors up to 2,500 A
The S2DA disconnector is one of the most commonly used types in the world thanks to its simple, efficient design. It is a rugged performer even in the most adverse operating conditions.
S3C Double Side Break S3C Double Side Break up to 2,500 A
The S3C is a low profile, reduced phase-to-phase distance double side break switch which offers additional space savings - a key advantage when designing your substation.
S3F Vertical Break S3F Vertical Break up to 2,500 A
The S3F disconnector is specifically designed for railway applications with a reduced phase-to-phase distance and is a rugged performer even in the most adverse operating conditions.
S2CRE Side Break S2CRE Side Break up to 2,500 A
The S2CRE disconnector is specifically designed for railway installations with easy assembly and reliability provided by the small number of components and the simple open/close movement.
