66 kV Isolator 2.2 DUTY REQUIREMENTS 2.2.1 Isolators and earth switches shall be capable of withstanding the dynamic and thermal effects of the maximum possible short circuit current of the system in their closed position. They shall be constructed such that they do not open under influence of short circuit current/wind pressure/combined force etc. The earth switches wherever provided shall be constructional interlocked so that the earth switches can be operated only when the isolator is open and vice-versa. 2.2.2 In addition to the constructional interlock, isolator and earth switches shall have provision to prevent their electrical and manual operation unless the associated and other interlocking conditions are met. All these interlocks shall be of fail safe type. Suitable individual interlocking coil arrangements shall be provided. The interlocking coil shall be suitable for continuous operation from DC supply 2.2.3 The earthing switches shall be capable of discharging trapped charges of the associated lines. Isolator and earth switches shall be able to bear on the terminals the total forces including wind loading and electro-dynamic forces on the attached conductor without impairing reliability or current carrying capacity. 2.2.4 The isolator shall be capable for making / breaking normal currents when no significant change in voltage occurs across the terminals of each pole of the isolator on account of making / breaking operation. 2.3 CONSTRUCTIONAL FEATURES 2.3.1 The isolators shall be provided with high pressure current carrying contacts on the hinge/ jaw ends and all contact surfaces shall be silver plated. The contacts shall be accurately machined and self aligned. 2.3.2 The isolator shall be provided with a galvanized steel base provided with holes and designed for mounting on a lattice/pipe support structure. The base shall be rigid and self supporting. The position of movable contact system (main blades) of each of the isolator and earthing switch shall be indicated by a mechanical indicator at the lower end of the vertical rod of shaft for the isolator and earthing switch. The indicator shall be of metal and shall be visible from operating level. 2.3.3 All metal parts shall be of non-rusting and non-corroding metal. Current carrying parts shall be from high conductivity electrolytic copper/aluminium. Bolts, screws and pins shall be provided with lock washers. Keys or equivalent locking facilities,

66 kV Isolator if provided on current carrying parts, shall be made of copper silicon alloy or equivalent. The live parts shall be designed to eliminate sharp joints, edges and other corona producing surfaces. 2.3.4 The isolators shall be so constructed that the switch blade will not fall to the closed position if the operating shaft gets disconnected. Isolators and earthing switches including their operating parts shall be such that they cannot be dislodged from their open or closed positions by gravity, wind pressure, vibrations shocks or accidental touching of the connecting rods of the operating mechanism. The switch shall be designed such that no lubrication of any part is required except at very infrequent intervals. 2.3.5 Each single pole of the isolator shall be provided with a complete galvanised steel base provided with holes and designed for mounting on a support structure. 2.3.6 Each isolator shall be provided with two ground pads. The ground pad shall comprise of buffed metal surface with two tapped holes, M 10 steel bolts and spring washers for connection to 75x10 mm GI flat. 2.4 EARTHING SWITCHES 2.4.1 Earthing switches shall include the complete operating mechanism and auxiliary contacts. The earthing switches shall form an integral part of the isolator and shall be mounted on the base frame of the isolator. Earthing switches shall be suitable for local operation only. The earthing switches shall be constructional interlocked with the isolator so that the earthing switches can be operated only when isolator is open and vice versa. 2.4.2 The earth switch shall be able to carry the same fault current as the main blades of isolators. 2.5 OPERATING MECHANISM AND CONTROL 2.5.1 The Isolator shall have motor operated switches having padlock arrangement on both ON and OFF positions. 2.5.2 Limit switches for control shall be fitted on the isolator/ earth switch shaft, within the cabinet to sense the open and close positions of the isolators and earth switches
