Description
The Hubbell unitized Type AR switch is a distribution-level,
loadbreak, gang-operated side-break switch designed to
meet not only today’s needs but well into utilities’ future
of distribution automation. Designed for nominal system
voltages of 14.4kV and 25kV three- and four-wire systems
and 34.5kV grounded-wye systems. The Type AR switch is
available with a variety of options, and in ratings for present
and planned requirements.
To minimize eld installation time, the Type AR switch is
pre-assembled, adjusted and mounted on a crossarm. Installation time is even faster for a Type AR switch with the hook
stick-operation option.

Application and Ratings
The Chance unitized D7 is a distribution-level, gang-operated, side-break switch for 15 through
38 kV applications. It is pre-assembled, adjusted, and mounted on a common support at the
factory for three-phase service. D7 switches meet a continuous-current rating of 600 amperes,
a momentary rating of 40,000 amperes, a three-second short time current rating of 25,000
amperes, and applicable NEMA and ANSI standards. It is available in 15 kV (110 kV LIW*),
27 kV (150 kV LIW*), 34.5kV (150kV LIW*) or 38 kV (200 kV LIW*). The D7 is a 600-ampere
loadbreak switch with the Duogap
of switching load currents up to 600 amperes, with full recovery voltage across the switch,
and interrupting transformer magnetizing and line-charging currents. This switch may be
used for disconnecting, line sectionalizing, circuit breaker bypassing, and isolating.
*Lightning Impulse Withstand (BIL)
Convenient Installation
Field installation time of this pre-assembled switch is greatly reduced below what is usually
required to install separate gang-operated distribution level switches. The three-phase unit is
conveniently raised in one piece to its mounting position, secured to the pole, control sections
attached, and eld adjustment made. Proper synchronization and phase spacing have been
made at the factory. Unitized switches are installed in 2 to 4 hours, compared to non-unitized
switches that take 6 to 8 hours.

DesignFeatures
The jaw socket and hinge terminal castings of the D7 are bronze with
tin-plated NEMA terminal pads. The blade is a round tubular copper
with attened ends to allow for a silver/copper contact. A four-point silver
plated contact is supplied on the jaw end to make the switch easier to
open and close. An all-copper current path is provided.
Interrupters
Chance Duogap® expulsion interrupter converts any D7 to a loadbreak
switch. Built-in sockets on each switch accept the interrupter. The
Chance 15.5, 27 and 38 kV Duogap expulsion
interrupters .
Duogap may be ordered with the switch or may be hotstick-installed
for load management conversion. For more on the Duogap, see Bulletin
No. 14-9405.
Terminal Pads, Arcing Horns
Two-hole NEMA terminal pads are standard. The D7 terminal pads
are bronze with tin-plating to provide low-resistance efcient current
transfer.
14A-11
A stainless steel arcing horn is provided to pick up load current, thus
preventing burning or arc pitting on the main contacts.
Insulators
The Vee conguration of the insulators simulates a low prole with less
bulk and a pleasing visual appearance. The gray-tone insulator for the
unitized D7 switch is NEMA 3-inch BC.
15 thru 34.5 kV Switch Base and Bearings
The base castings consist of high strength, high corrosion resistant
aluminum alloy. This lightweight aluminum is comparable to bronze in
almost all metal technical categories, such as: ultimate tensile, tensile
yield, elongation, hardness, modulus of elasticity, thermal conductivity,
and electrical conductivity. Bearings are high-strength, high-density
Delrin, for smooth pivotal action.
Conductors are dead-ended to each individual switch base. Pull-off holes
are designed for a 6,000-lb. working load rating. The switch frame is
limited to an unequal loading of 700 lb.
Common Support
The 4 x 4-inch common support member is furnished in either galvanized-steel or berglass tubing. The “interphase” shaft which connects
the three rotating insulators is constructed of the same material as
the crossarm.
Controls
Controls are either all metal or metal with a vertical berglass section.
Three options combine the metal or insulated interphase shaft with the
metal or berglass common support.
The arcing horn will pick up load current upon
closing to prevent burning or arc pitting on the
main contact surfaces.
