Abstract
A voltage transformer switch assembly (VTSA) including a voltage transformer disconnect switch (VTDS) for a utility metering section of a medium voltage switchgear, is provided. The VTDS includes one switch blade for each phase of a voltage transformer switch input bus. Upper and lower clips allow a tight connection to the switch blades for connecting the VTDS to a main bus or a ground bus. A switch handle operates the VTDS via a drive system. An upper fuse clip bus is connected to the VTDS in a connected ON position using braided copper elements or fuse clips. The fuse clips installed on upper and lower fuse clip buses allow a convenient installation of fuses of a voltage transformer. The VTSA is adapted for a low current rating and multiple voltage ratings. The VTSA is disposed in an enclosure that meets multiple electrical enclosure requirements and that withstands stringent rain tests.
