The SPV disconnector from Alstom works at up to 1000 kV and uses up to 30% less space than other units, because it is a horizontal item instead of a vertical separation unit. This can link a lower busbar to an upper busbar, and also uses a steel base will last and keep RIV problems down while corona effects are kept to a minimum. This is flexible to work with rigid or bending bars and uses a SF6 breaking chamber for many functions. This can also be retro-fitted onto earthing switches, this unit will not be at risk of corroding, and it only takes a few moments for the setup to start up and get to work.
