Solar Charging Option for Transmission Switches
Operator can be supplied with a solar detection board and fuse kit
80 W. solar panels available with mounting rack Number of panels dependent upon power
demand of RTU and radio and number of sun-hours per day
Supplemental battery pack available for carry-over days Size (amp-hours) of battery pack dependent
upon power demand and the number of carryover days desired
PTAD - Poletop Switch Automation
PTAD Application
For distribution switches rated to 38 kV
Switch operation without the use of vertical operating pipe
Retrofitable to new or existing switches operating with or without vertical operating pipe
Adaptable to any switch mounting configuration
Superior Operational Features
Constant ready operation state – no mechanism wind-up required
Lockout of the motor by using a hotstick from ground level
After manual operation, the motor can be re-synchronized with the switch locally or remotely via SCADA
True switch position status is always reported
Timesaving Installation and Operation Features
No setting of limit switches required during installation
No decoupling procedure necessary – the PTAD automatically decouples for manual operation
No decoupling procedure required for lockout
Decoupling not required to test the motor
PAD - Padmount Automation Switch Controller
