Scope of application
HD series single-throw knife switch and HS series double-throw knife switch are suitable for complete power distribution equipment with AC 50Hz, rated voltage 400V, DC 220V, and rated current up to 1500A. They are used for manual infrequent connection and disconnection of AC/DC circuits or for electrical isolation purposes.
The HD(S)11 series central handle switch is mainly used in power stations, and is not intended to cut off live circuits, but serves as electrical isolation.
HD(S)12 series side front lever-operated knife switches are mainly used in switchgear cabinets that require front operation and front maintenance, with the operating mechanism installable on both sides of the cabinet.
The HD(S)13 series front central lever-operated knife switches are mainly used in switchgear cabinets that require front operation and rear maintenance, with the operating mechanism installed at the front.
The HD(S)14 series side-operated handle knife switches are mainly used in power distribution boxes. Knife switches equipped with arc extinguishing chambers can cut off current loads, while other series of knife switches are only used for electrical isolation.
