SX
Pantograph Disconnector up to 1,000 kV

The SX is a space saving double scissor aluminium disconnector connecting the lower busbar to the upper one via the pantograph arms. Horizontal rather than vertical separation means a space reduction of as much as 30%.


Customer Benefits
  • Reduced substation space requirements (up to 30%)
  • Clear conducting routing for safety
  • Rigid or flex busbars for flexibility
  • Double scissor design for high rigidity
  • Built-in ground switches available
  • Virtually maintenance free
  • Easy start-up and commissioning
Main Characteristics
