Main new advantages of FCS capacitor switch
Farady Supply special design manual closing device technology with own patent, It applied for normal and abnormal situation closing. Its closing speed(time) comply with IEC62271-100. This function can offset from magnetic actuator fault.
- Primary incomer terminal (directly connect to interrupter reduce power lost)
- Vacuum interrupter (with APG technology with external silicone rubber mold pressure covering)
- Outlet bushing (external modular design easy for quality control and maintenance)
- Apply ANSOFT design high-performance magnetic actuator, through 35,000 times opening reverse excitation test, demagnetization rate
Farady supply special patent modular design mono-stable type magnetic actuator with two coils controlling. It's the best design for vacuum FCS caps switch.
