Earthing switch product family
Earthing Switches for Maintenance Grounding and Interlock Sequence
Earthing switches ground an isolated circuit before maintenance work. Compare JN15, JN17 and GN22 earthing switch paths up to 33 kV by grounding sequence, short-time withstand duty, operating shaft and mounting interface.
3 product pathsJN15, JN17 and GN22 cover indoor grounding review and structure checks.
Up to 33 kVProject voltage capability is kept separate from catalog row and order-specific withstand data.
Updated Jun 30, 2026Visible copy, modal data and images were checked against the supplied earthing switch folder.
Product paths
Earthing Switch Types by Grounding Duty and Interlock Role.
Start with the maintenance grounding point. JN15, JN17 and GN22 can be reviewed up to 33 kV, while short-time duty, phase distance and mounting release still need the model-specific order file.
ES 01up to 33 kV
JN15-12/31.5 Combined Earth Switch
Indoor earthing switch family for switchgear grounding positions where short-time withstand and interlock sequence matter.
ES 02up to 33 kV
JN17(15)-12/40 Indoor Grounding Switch
Indoor high-voltage grounding switch for cabinet grounding protection after the isolation position is known.
ES 03up to 33 kV
GN22 Three-Column Earthing Switch
GN22 three-column earthing switch path for grounding blade, insulator and base-frame structure checks.
Source basisEarthing switch selector with three confirmed paths.
JN15, JN17 and GN22 are the product paths for this earthing switch page. Keep GN10 and unrelated disconnect references out of this selector.
Application fit
Maintenance Grounding Topology and Isolation Sequence.
Select an earthing switch only after the upstream isolation point, interlock state and grounded maintenance zone are clear.
Grounding role
Earthing follows isolation. It does not replace load switching.
Use this family when the isolated circuit needs a visible grounding device for maintenance. If the duty is visible no-load isolation or indoor disconnect operation, compare the disconnect switch pages instead.
JN15, JN17 or GN22 cabinet path
Use when the switchgear drawing already defines the isolation state, interlock and grounding operation side.
Short-time current check
Review 40 kA, 4 s and 100 kA peak source rows separately from the mechanical mounting layout.
Up to 33 kV after model confirmation
Confirm insulation level, short-time duty and installation drawing before release.
Selection matrix
Compare Earthing Switch Path, Short-Time Duty and Mounting Inputs.
Use the matrix to pick the grounding path first, then check short-time duty, peak value, phase distance and cabinet interface.

Structure
Earthing Switch Structure, Operating Shaft and Mounting Interfaces.
With the product path selected, check the earthing blade, contact path, operating shaft, insulator set and mounting holes against the cabinet drawing.
Structure inputs
Use these four inputs before the model is released.
Grounding bladeBlade path, static contact, copper bar and closed grounding position.
Operating shaftManual shaft, linkage arm, handle side and interlock interface.
Insulator and baseSupport insulators, base frame, terminal block and mounting holes.
Cabinet fitPhase distance, open-hole layout, bus position and panel drawing.
Variant handling
Voltage Capability, Short-Time Withstand and Drawing Boundaries.
Keep the 33 kV project capability, catalog withstand rows and outline dimensions separate during engineering review.
Confirm the 33 kV project class separately from short-time duty.
JN15, JN17 and GN22 can be reviewed up to 33 kV. Use source rows and order files for current, short-time duty and insulation level.
Review phase distance and opening layout before release.
JN15 includes phase-distance rows from 165 mm to 275 mm. JN17 includes 210 mm to 275 mm rows and cabinet opening references.
Review files
Review Files for Earthing Switch Selection.
Separate clean product identity, catalog rating rows, topology sequence and factory drawings. Do not expose mixed-label catalog scans as drawing buttons.
Use clean product photos only
JN15, JN17 and GN22 images can identify structure, while scanned pages remain internal references.
Separate voltage capability from withstand duty
All three paths can be reviewed up to 33 kV. Use source rows or order files for current, 4 s duty and peak values.
Use clean English drawings where available
Cleaned Drawing tabs are used for JN15 and JN17; mixed-label source scans stay as internal evidence.
Keep grounding sequence with interlock data
Isolation state, grounding position, operating side and cabinet drawing should be checked together.
Engineering selection
Engineering Selection Inputs for Earthing Switches.
Lock the isolation state first, then check short-time withstand duty, interlock and mounting interface against the cabinet drawing.
Confirm the upstream open point and maintenance zone before selecting the earthing switch.
Keep 40 kA / 4 s, 100 kA peak and insulation level in the engineering file.
Operating shaft, handle side and power display option must match the panel design.
Phase distance, terminal block, opening layout and bus position drive the final model.

FAQ
Earthing Switch Selection FAQ.
What is an earthing switch used for?
An earthing switch grounds an isolated circuit or switchgear section for maintenance. It should be operated only in the approved isolation and interlock sequence.
How should engineers choose between JN15, JN17 and GN22?
Start with cabinet position, phase distance, interlock arrangement and mounting layout. All three paths can be reviewed up to 33 kV, but current, short-time duty and drawing release still need model-specific confirmation.
Is the three-column product GN22?
Yes. The three-column product shown in this selector is handled as GN22. GN10 remains an adjacent indoor disconnect reference and should not be mixed into the earthing switch selector.
Can catalog scans be used as drawings?
No. Catalog scans can support internal review, but public drawing buttons should use clean English outline drawings only. If no clean drawing exists, request a factory drawing.
What information should be sent with an earthing switch RFQ?
Send product path, system voltage, short-time withstand current, duration, peak current, insulation level, phase distance, cabinet drawing, interlock requirement, operation side and quantity.
