Product descriptions from the supplier
When you need a switch installed directly into the line, the Chance ALTD Line Tension Disconnect is the answer….. The ALTD is rated 38kV 200kV BIL 900A and 600A for non load break applications and 600A for load break applications with its built in Arc Chutes. The arc chute interrupter is rated for interruption of magnetizing current, line charging current, cable charging current and capacitor switching. The extension link/adapter option allows for mounting on clamp-top insulators. Also available is the ATC1343 PG terminal option which makes this switch suitable for a wide range of applications. Chance: The Brand and Quality You Can Trust!!
Fully Compliant with ANSI/IEEE C37.30.1

Application
The Chance Line Tension Disconnect switches are singlephase hookstick operated for manual switching of de-energized or parallel circuits of overhead lines on an electrical distribution system of 15 through 38kV, 200kV BIL. They are installed directly into the line. Rated for 600 and 900 amperes continuous current, the ALTD may be applied wherever a disconnect switch is desirable for line sectionalizing. A properly rated ALTD switch should be selected for each installation with consideration to continuous current, BIL and rated voltage.
The ALTD also can be equipped with a load-breaking interrupter or used with a portable Loadbreak tool for load breaking.
Operation
All Chance ALTD disconnect switches include galvanized steel Loadbreak hooks for use with a portable Loadbreak tool. To open the switch under load, use an approved Loadbreak tool
or device designated for use with this type of switch.
For easy opening and ice-breaking action, the pull ring activates the latch as a pry-out lever. The hook portion of the contact casting coordinates with the blade latch for positive closure.

HECI GCB for Generators – Fast SF6 Circuit Breaker1.Definition and Function1.1 Role of the Generator Circuit BreakerThe Generator Circuit Breaker (GCB) is a controllable disconnect point located between the generator and the step-up transformer, serving as an interface between the generator and the power grid. Its primary functions include isolating generator-side faults and enabling operational control during generator synchronization and grid connection. The operating principle of a GCB is not significantly different from that of a standard c01/06/2026 -
Distribution Equipment Transformer Testing, Inspection, and Maintenance1.Transformer Maintenance and Inspection Open the low-voltage (LV) circuit breaker of the transformer under maintenance, remove the control power fuse, and hang a “Do Not Close” warning sign on the switch handle. Open the high-voltage (HV) circuit breaker of the transformer under maintenance, close the grounding switch, fully discharge the transformer, lock the HV switchgear, and hang a “Do Not Close” warning sign on the switch handle.

How to Test Insulation Resistance of Distribution TransformersIn practical work, insulation resistance of distribution transformers is generally measured twice: the insulation resistance between thehigh-voltage (HV) windingand thelow-voltage (LV) winding plus the transformer tank, and the insulation resistance between theLV windingand theHV winding plus the transformer tank.If both measurements yield acceptable values, it indicates that the insulation among the HV winding, LV winding, and transformer tank is qualified. If either measurement fails, pairwise12/25/2025 -

Risk Identification and Control Measures for Distribution Transformer Replacement Work1.Electric Shock Risk Prevention and ControlAccording to typical design standards for distribution network upgrades, the distance between the transformer’s drop-out fuse and the high-voltage terminal is 1.5 meters. If a crane is used for replacement, it is often impossible to maintain the required minimum safety clearance of 2 meters between the crane boom, lifting gear, slings, wire ropes, and the 10 kV live parts, posing a severe risk of electric shock.Control Measures:Measure 1:De-energize th12/25/2025
