Rapier GX is a pole-mounted gas-enclosed switch developed to complement our overhead switchgear range. Designed as a load break switch, when connected to a Lucy Electric’s remote terminal units (Gemini 3 range), Rapier GX performs as a sectionaliser unit.
Available up to 38kV, Rapier GX has been designed utilising the latest SF6 puffer switching technology to achieve high performance and reliability. The structural tank welding is performed by a robotic welding process to ensure the highest manufacturing standards.
Able to be operated manually via hookstick, locally via a control cabinet, or remotely using automation equipment, Rapier GX provides the answer to your sectionalising and network automation requirements.
