Fisher Pierce

Capacitor Controls Provide voltage, time or

temperature control with

programmable override

Microprocessor-based

controls feature adaptive functions

that allow the unit to program itself

Zero-voltage closing controls improve

the power efficiency at the substation

Joslyn Hi-Voltage Series JMVIVac-Rupter Interrupter Attachments Forms an interrupter assembly with one or more of

these vacuum interrupter modules connected in series

and install it on a disconnect switch to provide load

switching capability

Includes all mounting hardware for fast and

easy installation on most vertical-break

disconnect switches

Available with Joslyn Hi-Voltage Series RF-2

switches to provide a complete load interrupter

switch package

Joslyn Hi-VoltageVBUSwitching Systems Sealed, immune to ice and contamination

and designed to withstand system voltage

continuously in the open position

Ideal for capacitor switching at 115kV or 230kV

Change their voltage rating just by adding or

subtracting vacuum contact modules

ZVC Control closes three switch poles

independently, synchronized with the occurrence

of zero voltage in each phase

Joslyn Hi-VoltageVarmaster VBM SwitchingSystems VBM switches are

breaker-class devices

employing vacuum

interruption for load

breaking and solid dielectric

Joslyte insulation around

the vacuum bottle

Offer high reliability, safe inter-

ruption with no external arcing

Zero-voltage closing control mitigates the system overvoltages

and high inrush currents to prevent equipment damage and

stress on capacitors

Joslyn Hi-Voltage Series UVI Universal

Vac-Rupter InterrupterAttachments Converts an isolating switch into

a load interrupter switch

Mounts quickly on vertical-break,

side-break, double side-break, center side-

break and in-line design switches, in all

configurations including phase-over-phase

Used for full load interruption up to 34.5kV and for reduced

recovery voltage applications up to 230kV

Joslyn Hi-Voltage Series RF-2 Switches Rugged vertical-break air disconnect switches

for all-weather operation

The switch blade provides efficient

ice-breaking action and contact

surface wiping

Run cooler and suffer less

oxidation and corrosion

than other switches

Available in voltage ratings of

15kV to 230kV for currents of 600A to 3,000A

Available with motor operator for reliable switching even in the

coldest conditions

We Deliver Wind PowerReliability and Efficiency

Thomas & Betts utility products enhance the energy efficiency

and reliability of the wind farm power delivery systems. Our

trusted brands continue to evolve to meet the changing needs

of our customers.

Elastimold products have been a leader in underground power

distribution for over four decades. Our solid dielectric switchgear

and pre-molded connector products connect and protect the

wind farm distribution system, from the tower to the substation.

Hi-Tech fuses provide overcurrent protection for underground

transformers throughout the wind farm. At the substations we

bring the experience of Joslyn Hi-Voltage capacitor switches

and Homac connectors, which have been the top choice of

utilities for over 50 years.
