Three-Phase Hydraulic Sectionalizer
GN3 and GN3V

The Types GN3 and GN3V three-phase, hydraulically controlled sectionalizers can be applied to distribution systems within the following ratings:

Voltage Ratings GN3 GN3V
Nominal System Rated Voltage 14.4 kV 24.9 kV
Rated Maximum Voltage 15.5 kV 27.0 kV
Rated Impulse Withstand Voltage 110 kV BIL 125 kV BIL
Maximum Continuous Current 200 200
Maximum Momentary and Making Current 9000 9000

The GN3 and GN3V sectionalizers provide economical and automatic sectionalizing for three-phase distribution lines. Decades of proven service have demonstrated the reliability of these sectionalizers used throughout the world to provide automatic fault isolation.

A simple internal mechanism, similar to the GH sectionalizer, operates the GN3 and GN3V sectionalizers. The mechanism provides independent phase counting and three-phase tripping for coordinated application with reclosers such as Cooper Power Systems 6H or V6H reclosers.
