Function
2.1
Disconnector
Electrical isolation of parts of networks
High-voltage disconnectors are used for the electrical isolation of electrical high-voltage networks. When
switched off, they form a visible isolating distance. High-voltage disconnectors are switched under
no-load conditions. Small capacitive or inductive currents, of the kind that occur during the discharge of
disconnected overhead-line or cable sections, are controlled.
Outdoor installation and formation of groups
Three-column double break disconnector described in these service instructions is a single-pole
disconnector for outdoor installation. Three such disconnectors can be coupled to form a group for three
phase operation.
Standards
The type eDB Three-column double break disconnector conforms to the following standards:
IEC 62271-102 and IEC 62271-1
2.2
Earthing Switch
Earthing and short circuiting
In order to earth and short-circuit switched-off parts of plant, it is possible to mount: one or two earthing
switches per pole.

Mode of Operation
5.1
General
The type eDB three column double break disconnector has separate operating mechanisms for the
disconnector and earthing switch.
Prevention of automatic opening or closing
When the equipment is switched on or off, a dead-center position is passed through just before the end
positions are reached. This prevents the automatic opening or closing of the disconnector or earthing
switch as a result of:
Short-circuit
External influences (e.g. storm or earthquake)
Disconnector

Earthing Switch
5.4
Earthing connection:The earthing connection (79) connects the contact arm (23) to the earthed sectional-steel base frame
(221) of the disconnector.
Interlocking
The disconnector and the earthing switch can be interlocked according to the following principle:

Note: The scope of supply does not include the fixing materials for mounting the disconnector on the
supporting structures.
The components supplied comprise :
Disconnector base (2) consisting of: Sectional-steel base frame (221), rotary pedestals (70),
disconnector operating lever (69), connecting lever
Current-path (5)

Mounting of Disconnector
Note: If you suspect shipping damage, check the spacing dimensions of the contact fingers (66)
The disconnector pole can be mounted either on the supporting structure or in front of the supporting
structure. If mounting in front of the supporting structure, first lift the completely mounted disconnector
pole onto the supporting structure and then align and tighten it there.
Note: Remember that the materials for fixing the disconnector bases (2) on the supporting structure are
not included in the scope of supply.
Mounting steps:
1.
Unpack components.
2.
If mounting on the supporting structure: Using lifting tackle, place disconnector base (2)
on the supporting structure. Figure 7.
3.
If mounting on the supporting structure: Align and tighten disconnector base on the
supporting structure.
4.
Mount support insulators (201) on the rotary pedestal (70) and side stools of the structure.
Adjust distance between the two end insulators as per there insulating distance tabulated
below. This can be done by adjusting the jack bolts (13) on side insulator.
5.
6.
Mount the current path (5) on the center insulator such that the current path is in open
position. Ensure that the current path is horizontal to the disconnector base(2).
7.
For rated voltage 420kV: Mount corona protection fittings on current path (5) and fixed
contacts (66, 67). Figure 8
8.
Mount the guide rods on the fixed contact affixed on the side insulators. Figure 8
9.
Close the current path until it touches the blade on the fixed contact (67). Adjust any
vertical misalignment by means of jack bolts (13) at the bottom of the side insulators.
