Things to note when choosing auxiliary switches for GIS power equipment

When selecting an auxiliary switch for GIS (GasInsulatedSwitchgear) power equipment, there are some important things to pay attention to. Auxiliary switches play a vital role in power equipment. They control and monitor the operation of the main switch to ensure the normal operation and safety of the power system. This article will introduce some key points that need to be paid attention to when selecting auxiliary switches for GIS power equipment.

First, we need to pay attention to the type and function of the auxiliary switch. Different GIS power equipment may require different types and functions of auxiliary switches to meet their specific operating needs. When selecting an auxiliary switch, we should understand the specifications of the equipment and select the appropriate switch type, such as contactor, circuit breaker, etc., as well as the required functions, such as bus knife switch, lightning arrester switch, etc. Ensure compatibility and integrity of auxiliary switches with equipment.

Secondly, the quality and reliability of the auxiliary switch are key factors in selection. Auxiliary switches of GIS power equipment are usually located in complex and harsh power environments and need to have good protection performance and reliable operation guarantee. We should choose auxiliary switches that have been strictly tested and certified to ensure their good quality and reliability. At the same time, the auxiliary switch should have durability and arc resistance to cope with long-term operation and sudden failure of the equipment.

Third, the installation and maintenance requirements of the auxiliary switch are also important factors to consider. When installing the auxiliary switch, we should follow the accurate installation instructions provided by the equipment manufacturer and ensure that the installation is reasonable and accurate. The maintenance of auxiliary switches is also key to ensuring long-term stable operation of the equipment. We should regularly check and maintain the auxiliary switch, clean up debris and prevent dust accumulation in time to ensure its normal operation. At the same time, faulty auxiliary switches should be replaced or repaired in time to avoid affecting the entire power system.

In addition, we also need to consider the cost and supply channels of the auxiliary switch. Choosing a suitable auxiliary switch not only needs to meet technical requirements, but also consider cost-effectiveness. We should compare the price and performance of different suppliers, choose the appropriate auxiliary switch supply channel, and ensure its reliability and timely delivery.

In summary, the selection of auxiliary switches for GIS power equipment requires comprehensive consideration of factors such as type and function, quality and reliability, installation and maintenance requirements, cost and supply channels. Through reasonable selection and use of auxiliary switches, we can improve the operating efficiency and safety of GIS power equipment. Hope this article helps you!
