INTERNAL CONSTRUCTION FEATURES
THE TAP SELECTOR DRIVE MECHANISM
• PKJ employs a rotary multi-position tap selector. • Enclosed in an air-filled compartment, integral to main tank, • The fixed contacts are mounted on the periphery of an no allignment required. insulated cylinder. • Contains the motor drive with reduction gear, cam switches • When on adjacent contacts, circulating current is limited for controls, and indication devices. by the Preventive Auto Transformer (PAT). • Hinged, lockable sheet metal door. • Contacts move only when carrying no current limiting • Allows observation of the tap position indicator and deterioration of oil quality. operations counter, without opening the door. • Robust construction to reduce stress on the switch and its rollers. • Enclosure withstands NEMA 4 test. • End position limits operated by differential gear system, THE PRE-SELECTOR not a breakable pin. • A three-phase, single-pole, two-way pre-selector switch is provided on the switching cylinder outer periphery. MONITORING BOX • Carries no current at changeover. • PKJ comes with standard built-in features for monitoring many of its own parameters. THE BYPASS SWITCH • Housed in a box in the mechanism chamber, the system • Component of the diverter switch element. verifies that the bottle opening is correct before allowing • Diverter contains the actual current interrupting and the selector to move. making contact. • The monitoring device box also provides a manual check • Bypasses current flow in the vacuum interrupter. button which runs a self-diagnostic test on the monitoring • Mounted on the contact cylinder. system and alerts the operator to any errors. • Driven by a cam mounted on a shaft running parallel to the axis of the switching cylinder. EXTERNAL CONSTRUCTION FEATURES • Same shaft drives the vacuum contactor, to ensure proper timing between the operation of the bypass • Live parts are enclosed in an outdoor, sheet metal tank. switch, and the vacuum contactor is maintained. • Mechanism is integrally mounted on the tank. VACUUM INTERRUPTING ELEMENT • The LTC tank is capable of full vacuum. • Implemented in the form of a vacuum interrupter • Terminal board stems are individually replaceable and (the “bottle”) and driven by the same shaft as the have redundant viton o-rings. bypass switch. • The drive of the bottle is through a cam and latch system which ensures that speeds are accurately REACTOR SWITCHING maintained throughout each phase of opening and closing, independent of the speed of operation of the driving mechanism.
