Mechanical Interlocking : <\/b>This method employs a Castell key system, ensuring that the operation of one device is dependent on the status of another. Specifically, in the context of isolators and vacuum circuit breakers (VCBs), the Castell key is locked with the isolator, which can only be operated when the VCB is in the closed position. Since the isolator is an offload device, this arrangement ensures that the isolator cannot be opened under load conditions. The key is transferred from the isolator to the VCB, and once locked, the VCB is ready for operation (on\/off). This method secures both the isolator and the VCB, preventing unintended operations and enhancing system safety through mechanical interlocking.<\/p><p class=\"text-justify font-20\"><b>2. Electrical Interlocking : <\/b>This approach is feasible when the isolator disconnector is equipped with a motor-operated mechanism. Through control wiring, the system is designed such that the isolator can only be operated (opened or closed) when the circuit breaker is in the correct position (typically closed). Conversely, if the isolator is open, the VCB cannot be closed due to the interlock logic integrated through control wiring. This setup provides an additional layer of safety, ensuring that technicians working in substations are protected, and that equipment such as isolators and VCBs are safeguarded against improper operation through an electromechanical interlocking system.<\/p><p class=\"text-justify font-20\">This combination of mechanical and electrical interlocking mechanisms ensures both operational safety and equipment protection within substations.<\/p><p class=\"text-justify font-20\">We are Manufacturers of Isolator disconnectors and its spare parts with Manual operation boxes and Motor drive operation boxes .
