Trident-S Solid Dielectric Switchgear
The G&W Electric Trident-S is a 15–38 kV spring-assisted three-phase solid dielectric load break and fault interrupting switch for underground circuit protection and automatic source transfer, sold and supported in Texas and Oklahoma by Ryan Sales.
- 15/25/35kV classes
- max 38kV
- BIL 110/125/150kV
- 630A continuous and load break
- 12.5kA fault interrupting (up to 16kA)
Overview
The Trident-S is a three-phase spring-assisted load break or fault interrupting switch with side-mounted handles positionable for vertical or horizontal mounting. The optional SafeVu integral visible break shows an open circuit without removing elbows or external components, improving crew safety. Integral voltage sensing to 1% accuracy, self-powered protection curves and SEL/ABB/GE relay compatibility support automatic source transfer and Smart Grid schemes, and the switch is submersible up to 20 feet for 20 days.
