Distribution Reclosers and Overhead Switches

Distribution Reclosers and Overhead Switches for Strong Performance in Any Environment

Our distribution reclosers and overhead switches are rated up to 38kV. Their flexible designs include options for local and remote operation, as well as integration with distribution automation and automatic transfer control solutions.

Field-Tested Reliability

Our reclosers and overhead switches are electronically controlled vacuum interrupter switches, making them more reliable for load switching and overcurrent protection.

Switches for Any Application

Reclosers and overhead switches are available for distribution systems up to 38kV and can be installed on the pole or in a substation or padmount, depending on the application.

Flexible Operation

All of our reclosers and overhead switches are available for manual, remote supervisory, distribution automation or automatic transfer control applications.

Reduced Maintenance Costs

The solid dielectric design eliminates the need for routine maintenance and improves personnel safety and overall dependable performance.

Dead-Tank Technology

The dead-tank design of our Viper^®-S, Viper^®-ST and Viper^®-SP provides arc fault containment which increases operator safety with modules at ground potential and reduces wildlife interruptions.

High Accuracy, High Precision Sensors

Our patented sensor technologies help customers control power quality, monitoring, protection and measurement with accurate, real-time current and voltage intelligence for optimizing the grid’s power delivery and reliability.

Site-Ready Designs

The distribution reclosers and overhead switches can be provided in site-ready configuration with customized frames, connected lightning arresters, primary and secondary wired PTs, and jumpers, along with wildlife protectors on all terminals. Site-ready designs allow end-users to save on preparation and installation time.
