DS1 is the first synchronous switch isolated in dry air specifically devised and designed for capacitor banks. The perfect combination, regulated by the electronic control unit, between the semiconductors and synchronism with the network allows to increase reliability and efficiency and prolongs the life of
components.
Product scope

Medium voltage indoor dry-air diode based capacitor switch with servomotors actuation for capacitor banks up to 17.5 kV, 630 A, 20 kA
