Advanced Distribution Solution Components

Upgrade outdated vertical operating pipes with our automated air brake switch, motor, and intelligent controls. Our distribution automation solutions enable consistent open-and-close operation for longer switch life and enhanced crew safety.

On-the-Switch Motor-Operated Air Brake Switch

Remote switching your distribution feeders has never been easier! We provide an on-the-switch (OTS) motor and gearbox option for group-operated AR (automation ready) air brake switches that integrate the motor with the crossarm of the switch.

Combined Hookstick and Motor Control

Expedite your operations with OTS group-operated AR switches that ship installation-ready, assembled on a “4 x 4” steel or optional fiberglass crossarm. Multiple system options are available, including 15kV, 27kV and 38kV voltage classes with a maximum operating current of 900A.
Features Include

Visible break shows open circuits for safe downstream work.
Small footprint provides extra room on crowded distribution poles.
Umbilical cable replaces down-the-pole control pipe.
Hassle-free installation with plug-and-play OTS controller design.

Intelligent Controls for Remote Switch Operation

The FlexMO® motor operator provides remote operation via either our FlexMO Terminal Unit (FTU) or a customer-provided remote terminal that communicates to a SCADA network via DNP3 protocol. The FTU communicates with the FlexMO operator via a three-wire cable while also maintaining an internal database with the latest information about the status of the motor operator.
