JN22B-40.5 Indoor Grounding Switch for 40.5kV Switchgear
🧲 Secure Grounding for High-Voltage MV Panels in Indoor Environments
The JN22B-40.5 indoor high-voltage grounding switch is designed for reliable grounding in 40.5kV power distribution systems. Installed inside metal-clad switchgear or indoor gas-insulated enclosures, it ensures safety by providing a visible and mechanically interlocked ground connection during equipment maintenance or system faults.
This model is particularly suited for medium-voltage substations, industrial switchboards, and power plant control rooms, where safe isolation and compliance with IEC standards are essential.
