Earthing Switches for Maintenance Grounding and Interlock Sequence

Earthing switches ground an isolated circuit before maintenance work. Compare JN15, JN17 and GN22 earthing switch product types up to 33 kV by grounding sequence, short-time withstand duty, operating shaft and mounting interface.

Product types

Earthing Switch Types

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.

The source folder provides a clean product image for this GN22 three-column structure.

GN22 can be reviewed for project voltage requirements up to 33 kV. Current, short-time duty, operation side and mounting layout must still come from an order file or model sheet.

Application fit

Maintenance Grounding Topology

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 configuration 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.

Ground after isolation

JN15, JN17 or GN22 cabinet grounding configuration

Use when the switchgear drawing already defines the isolation state, interlock and grounding operation side.

Withstand duty

Short-time current check

Review 40 kA, 4 s and 100 kA peak rating rows separately from the mechanical mounting layout.

Voltage class

Up to 33 kV after model confirmation

Confirm insulation level, short-time duty and installation drawing before release.

Selection matrix

Use the matrix to pick the grounding configuration first, then check short-time duty, peak value, phase distance and cabinet interface.

Short-Time Withstand Boundaries

Keep the 33 kV project capability, withstand rows and outline dimensions separate during engineering review.

Electrical boundary

Confirm the 33 kV project class separately from short-time duty.

JN15, JN17 and GN22 can be reviewed up to 33 kV. Use rating rows and order files for current, short-time duty and insulation level.

Drawing boundary

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

Earthing Switch Documents

Separate clean product identity, rating rows, topology sequence and factory drawings. Do not expose mixed-label scans as drawing buttons. For broader document review, download earthing switch catalog PDFs.

Product identity

Use clean product photos only

JN15, JN17 and GN22 images can identify structure, while scanned pages remain internal references.

Rating evidence

Separate voltage capability from withstand duty

All three product types can be reviewed up to 33 kV. Use rating rows or order files for current, 4 s duty and peak values.

Drawing boundary

Use clean English drawings where available

Cleaned Drawing tabs are used for JN15 and JN17; mixed-label technical scans stay internal.

Sequence file

Keep grounding sequence with interlock data

Isolation state, grounding position, operating side and cabinet drawing should be checked together.

Engineering selection

Earthing Switch RFQ Data

Lock the isolation state first, then check short-time withstand duty, interlock and mounting interface against the cabinet drawing. For procurement review, check certificates, test reports and RFQ forms before release.

01 / Isolation stateGround only after isolation is defined

Confirm the upstream open point and maintenance zone before selecting the earthing switch.

02 / Withstand dutyCheck short-time and peak current

Keep 40 kA / 4 s, 100 kA peak and insulation level in the engineering file.

03 / InterlockMatch operation to cabinet logic

Operating shaft, handle side and power display option must match the panel design.

04 / Mounting fitUse the drawing for release

Phase distance, terminal block, opening layout and bus position drive the final model.

FAQ

Earthing Switch FAQ

What earthing switch data is needed for RFQ?

Send product type, system voltage, short-time withstand current, duration, peak current, insulation level, phase distance, cabinet drawing, interlock requirement, operation side and quantity.

Where is an earthing switch used in the isolation sequence?

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 product types 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.

When are earthing switch drawing views available?

Use public drawing buttons only where clean English outline drawings are available. If no clean drawing exists, include a factory drawing request with the RFQ.
