Line Defender

Protection against overvoltage
and transient events

  • Ground-level reset: Safely restore power after a lockout with a hot stick, minimizing exposure to arc flash and other hazards.
  • Enhanced safety: Visible break, secure latching and guided closure ensure safe operation during linework.
  • Rapid fault identification: Flashing beacon and wide-angle semaphore make locating tripped units fast and intuitive.
  • Grid reliability: Automatically clears temporary faults and isolates permanent ones to reduce outage duration and crew deployment.

Independent Phase Recloser for overhead lines

Independent Phase Recloser

Sectionalizing and fault isolation
for overhead lines

  • Three configurable modes of operation: A programmable electronic control allows for application versatility with multiple operational settings.
  • Single-phase trip lockout: If a permanent fault occurs on one phase, that phase will lock out and the other two phases will trip open, preventing damaging “single-phasing” conditions for three-phase motor loads.
  • Three-phase lockout: All three phases trip and reclose simultaneously.
  • Enhanced system reliability: By isolating only the faulted phase for most temporary faults, triple-single operation can significantly improve utility reliability indices.

AIS Deadfront Switchgear for underground distribution

AIS Deadfront Switchgear

Compact, safe switching
for underground distribution

  • Air-insulated dead-front design: The internal components are insulated using air and dead-front connectors within a sealed switching compartment, minimizing exposure to energized parts.
  • Enhanced safety: The dead-front design, external operator and visible break windows reduce the risk of electrical exposure for utility workers and the public.
  • Reduced maintenance: Constructed from heavy-gauge steel with corrosion-resistant coatings and compatible with multiple pad configurations.
  • Operational efficiency: Large viewing windows, replaceable bushings and external operators streamline maintenance and fault identification.
