DESCRIPTION The AGCH5V is an outdoor, group-operated side opening two insulator, air disconnect switch with both insulators rotating from a low profile base arrangement. The AGCH5V is constructed primarily of aluminum and is available in ratings from 15.5kV through 245kV maximum (15kV through 230kV nominal) and 1200 through 4000 continuous amperes. The “V” switch maintains the characteristic center break ease of operation while requiring a minimal structure footprint making it versatile for either structure or pole mounted applications. The low profile design of the AGCH5V mini- mizes structure size creating a more cost effective, aesthetically pleasing switching option. Mounted horizontal upright or under- hung, the blades lift no weight during opera- tion. Mounted vertically, the blades counter- balance each other during operation.

APPLICATION The AGCH5V is commonly used in three- phase line or substation applications such as transformer or line disconnecting, breaker isolating, bypassing or bus sectionalizing. The narrow mounting footprint makes the unit versatile for direct pole configurations as well. Operation of the AGCH5V may be accomplished by either manual control or by motor operator. TESTING The AGCH5V has been extensively tested to meet or exceed current ANSI standards. A comprehensive test brochure is available outlining electrical and mechanical design test conducted on the AGCH5V .
