GW4 and GW5 Series High-Voltage Disconnect Switches: An Overview

GW4-12, GW4-35, GW5-40.5, and GW5-35 are all models of high-voltage disconnect switches designed for various electrical distribution systems. The GW4-12 is a low-voltage switch typically used in systems with voltages up to 12 kV, while the GW4-35 is suitable for higher voltage applications up to 35 kV. The GW5 series, including the GW5-40.5 and GW5-35 models, offers even greater voltage handling capabilities, with the GW5-40.5 being designed for systems up to 40.5 kV and the GW5-35 for 35 kV systems. These switches are crucial components in substations, allowing for the isolation of sections of the electrical network during maintenance or repair work. They feature robust designs to ensure reliable operation under harsh conditions and are engineered to meet specific safety and performance standards. Each model is optimized for its intended voltage range, ensuring safe and efficient electrical system management.
