Solar Charging Option for Transmission Switches Operator can be supplied with a solar detection board and fuse kit 80 W. solar panels available with mounting rack Number of panels dependent upon power demand of RTU and radio and number of sun-hours per day Supplemental battery pack available for carry-over days Size (amp-hours) of battery pack dependent upon power demand and the number of carryover days desired
PTAD - Poletop Switch Automation
PTAD Application For distribution switches rated to 38 kV Switch operation without the use of vertical operating pipe Retrofitable to new or existing switches operating with or without vertical operating pipe Adaptable to any switch mounting configuration
Superior Operational Features Constant ready operation state – no mechanism wind-up required Lockout of the motor by using a hotstick from ground level After manual operation, the motor can be re-synchronized with the switch locally or remotely via SCADA True switch position status is always reported
Timesaving Installation and Operation Features No setting of limit switches required during installation No decoupling procedure necessary – the PTAD automatically decouples for manual operation No decoupling procedure required for lockout Decoupling not required to test the motor
Status Indications Provided Switch Open Position Switch Closed Position Remote Status Loss of AC/Charge Alarm Low Battery Alarm No-Go Controller Position Indication
PAD - Padmount Automation Switch Controller for use with ElastaMold and G&W switches
