The Royal BILT switch was designed to meet increasing demands for unobtrusive overhead distribution line construction. It is a compact switch for mounting directly in the line or on a single pole top insulator. It has the special feature of not placing the insulator in tension.
Applications of the BILT switch are for sectionalizing or tapping distribution lines from 7.5kV through 38kV. Current ratings are 900 amperes continuous, 40,000 amperes momentary. Installation of the BILT switch is simple. For a feeder tap, the conductor fastens directly to the switch base. For sectionalizing, a suspension insulator is used at one end of the switch. The switch may be dead-ended at a pole-top insulator by means of an extension link.
FEATURES
-Eliminates insulator in tension.
-Furnished with hooks for use with portable loadbreak tool.
-Light-compact-easy to install.
-Structural members are aluminum.
-Tinned 2-hole NEMA terminal pads.
-Switch furnished with 2-1/4” bolt circle insulators.
-Smooth, simple latch action – ease and certainty of operation.
-All switch current carrying parts of hard-drawn copper, cast copper, or high conductivity bronze.
-Truss-type blade design for extra strength.
-Double-tongue contact – extra contact surface.
-All contacts silver plated.
The Royal BISL switch was designed to meet increasing demands for simple overhead distribution line construction. It is a compact switch for mounting directly to existing cutout bracketry.
Applications of the BISL switch are for sectionalizing or tapping distribution lines from 15kV through 25kV. Current ratings are 900 amperes continuous, 40,000 amperes momentary. Easy hookstick access to the switch is provided by a large pull ring. Installation of the BISL switch is simple. The switch mounts quickly to any structure with the use of a ½” carriage bolt at the conveniently angled tab. The type BISL is a cleanly designed switch, simple in operation and construction – with design features that make it dependable over many years of service.
