Type M Pusher Disconnectors

Rated up to 52kV, 1250A, 25kA/3secs, the M.L.E. range of M type disconnectors is a cost effective, reliable, and low maintenance design. The use of nickel plated solid copper switching blades dispenses with the need for flexible cables and pantographs that historically have been proved to be a source of trouble.

The hinge end contacts are of the self-cleaning design with independent pressure springs on each side. The whole assembly makes for a very robust and reliable design.

Trip All Phase Switch-Fuse Combined Units

Trip all phase switch-fuse combined units are available up to and including 36kV, 400A 25kA/3secs.

To overcome the problems associated with ‘single phasing’ caused when only one fuse in a supply blows, MLE have developed a unique system. The design is designated a ‘TRIP-ALL PHASE UNIT’ (T.A.P.).

The principle of operation is that in the event that one or more of the TAP fuses blow, the fuse (or fuses) will swing downwards and strike a tripping bar. The tripping bar will release a spring-charged mechanism, which in turn will open the switch and isolate all 3 phases.

The switch can also be operated manually for normal switching operations.
