A reinforced diverter switch is molded with a flange having a reinforcing material embedded therein. A shaft of a diverter switch is wrapped with a reinforcing material. The shaft of the diverter switch may be wrapped by first removing a portion of the epoxy resin to expose a conductor of the diverter switch, machining a portion of the epoxy resin, and then filament winding the reinforcing material over the portion of the epoxy resin machined.

System and method of reinforcing diverter switches

A filter apparatus suitable for electrical substation high-voltage transformer tap changers and similar oil-filled equipment removes moisture and other contaminants from the insulating oil bath in which the tap contacts are immersed. The apparatus can be configured and subsequently reconfigured for use with any of a variety of filter media using a common pump and control mechanism and an assortment of adapters.
