Brand: Chance
Catalog ID: BP3R1LY
Chance Type BP3 Switches are an economical way to bypass pole mounted distribution reclosers so periodic maintenance can be conducted without interrupting service. The BP3 switches are 3 Pull Operation units that can be offered in either single phase or three phase units. They are rated either 600A or 900A with Voltages Classes of 15, 27 and 38kV with Insulation levels 110kV, 125kV or 150kV BIL. By operating the blades in proper sequence, the recloser is bypassed and isolated from the distribution system. They can be mounted on Cross Arms or directly to the pole via the Pole Mount Bracket Option. They can be configured for either Right Hand or Left Hand opening and either Angled or Non Angled Bypass Blades. Type BP3 switches are not to be used to isolate Voltage Regulators as they have no way to effectively interrupt the circulating current in the regulator windings.
