Single Phase of Type AR Switch

(1)  Hot-rolled steel base formed into a channel and galvanized

 

 

per ASTM A153.

 

(2)  Hot-rolled crank lever provides high strength and corro-

 

sion resistance. Galvanized per ASTM A153.

 

(3)  Delrin® bushing coupled with a cast aluminum rotating

 

shaft eliminates the need for lubrication during the life of

 

the switch.

 

(4)  Insulators available in 2.25" bolt circle, porcelain or

 

polymer.

 

(5)  High-conductivity copper with phosphorous-bronze back-

 

up springs and copper-tungsten fault-closing tips provide reli-

 

able contact areas. Silver-to-silver current-transfer points.

 

(6)  Blade formed from hard-drawn, high-conductivity copper

 

for maximum current carrying capability.

 

(7)  Interrupter provides current interruption without exter-

 

nal arc or flame. High-strength polyurethane material for

 

strength, weatherability and UV resistance. Bolted tongue-

 

in-groove mounting ensures positive alignment.

 

(8)  Polycarbonate ice shield helps protect contacts from ice

 

build up.

Hook stick Operation  The Type AR switch can be operated by a hook stick operation. This option eliminates control pipe sections down the pole and their attendant adjustment during installation and maintenance.

Extra Pipe  The extra pipe section includes guide, coupling, and all hardware for attachment.

Extension Links  When deadending to the AR switch, exten- sion links must be used to give needed clearance. The end clevis has a slotted hole for inserting the machine bolt with- out having to remove the extension bar. The extension links supplied are 14 inches long, hot-dip galvanized, and REA accepted. Catalog No. C2070112; six required per switch.

Surge Arrester Brackets Three brackets can be supplied for mounting six surge arresters (utility supplied) for over- voltage protection.

Sensor Brackets Extension Brackets can be supplied, or added to the AR Switch, to allow for the additon of line volt- age/current sensors.

Crossarm Braces Crossarm braces may be specified as an option.

ESPpolymer Insulators  The distribution insulators, 2.25- inch bolt circle, are available in a U.S.-manufactured ESP polymer design. They are light weight, durable, and they offer long-term performance in every type of environment.

Terminal Connectors  Catalog No. ATC1343, fortified cadmi- um-plated aluminum parallel-groove clamp can be supplied with switches. Six per switch.

Cable Range:

Minimum No. 2 solid copper [0.258 inch (6.55 mm)] to maximum 500 kcmil copper [0.811 inch (20.60 mm)].

Control Insulator  One 150 kV LIW (Lightining Impulse With- stand - BIL) polymer insulator in vertical control pipe.

Captive Hardware  Two stainless-steel spline bolts pressed into each terminal pad, nuts and lockwashers included.
