ICEMAN 15KV

Ensuring the highest level of personnel safety while working on a substation requires the equipment to be visibly disconnected and grounded. With the AMR ICEMAN this can be easily achieved by simply pulling the handle. In addition, pairing a medium voltage vacuum breaker assembly with a de-energized disconnect switch means the addition of a protection relay allows the ICEMAN to protect the substation just like a standalone breaker, at a fraction of the cost. Once the substation is de-energized, maintenance personnel can operate the handle of the disconnect switch moving the connection from the source position to a grounded position. Once in the grounded position, a lock can be installed and maintenance can safely be performed on the substation (LOTO). AMR PEMCO’s design is electrically and mechanically interlocked with the vacuum contactor to all.

Features & Benefits

  • Max Voltage of 15KV providing 95KVBIL at 8,000 ft. elevation.
  • Continuous current rating of 600 Amps means the switch can handle the heaviest loads.
  • Max fault rating of 20KA.
  • Shunt Trip standard with UV available via external relay.
  • Remote mount control module with smart fault read out.
  • Right-hand or left-hand operation.
  • Remote mount face plate to provide switch status indicator lights.
  • Easily operates as a contactor when breaker protection is not required.
  • Interlocking handle design provides peace of mind that the power will be disconnected prior to operating the handle.
  • Test switch for electrical interlock ensures product will trip if ever needed.
  • Internal mechanical linkage ensures handle will be held in both the grounded or ungrounded position.
  • Suitable for mounting in either vertical or horizontal orientation.
  • Compact design and bolt in replacement for competitor’s units.
  • Fully insulated with air to reduce likelihood of failure due to insulation breakdown.
