Scada-Mate CX Switching Systems

Automation needs change and grow with increased load, capacity, and demands for more reliable service. Scada-Mate CX Switches meet these changing needs, economically. These three-pole, group-operated interrupter switches are specifically designed for automating overhead distribution systems. They feature a five-time duty-cycle fault-closing rating of 20,000 amperes RMS asymmetrical, plus full live-switching performance under any and all ice conditions—circuit making and circuit breaking are accomplished internally, within sealed interrupters, in a controlled sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) environment.

Scada-Mate CX Switches are factory-assembled on a one-piece base and include an integral stored-energy operating mechanism. In addition to electrically operating the interrupters, the operating mechanism provides non-electrical mechanical opening and closing of the interrupters by means of a manual-operation pull ring. The switch can be locked open to prevent electrical or manual closing.

Sealed interrupters, fully enclosed base. Scada-Mate CX Switches feature the same hermetically sealed, low-gas-volume interrupters, open/close indicator, and operating mechanism as S&C’s flagship switch: the Scada-Mate. It’s ideal for installation in areas prone to icing, polluted and coastal environments, and remote locales.

Compact. Scada-Mate CX Switches are 40% smaller than Scada-Mates. And they can be furnished without the disconnect to save additional space.

Upgradeable. With Scada-Mate CX Switches, you can purchase the features you need today . . . and easily upgrade tomorrow. Switches can be furnished with factory-installed S&C Current Sensors or S&C Current/ Voltage Sensors. Or, alternately, S&C sensors or sensors of other manufacture can be added later. And an S&C control unit or control of other manufacture can be added at any time.

Visible-break disconnect. If your system practices require it, Scada-Mate CX Switches can be furnished with an integral disconnect comprised of three single-phase hookstick-operated blades, based on S&C’s proven Loadbuster Disconnect® design. The disconnect is interlocked to prevent opening when the interrupters are closed, and closing of the interrupters when the disconnect is open.

Controls that meet your requirements. Scada-Mate CX Switches are available with a wide range of controls to match your automation objectives.

For remote supervisory control applications, the 5801 Automatic Switch Control combines sophisticated automatic control schemes with RTU functionality, data logging, and advanced communication capabilities in a single package. It can manage switches and automatically sectionalize a feeder based on factors such as overcurrent, loss of voltage, and phase unbalance. Multiple controls can be programmed to communicate with each other using the optional IntelliTEAM II® Automatic Restoration System.

Scada-Mate CX Switches can also be furnished with a custom-engineered communication and control unit that provides the interface between the switch and the master-station computer. It can accommodate a remote terminal device of any manufacture, and can be powered by either a customer-supplied source or S&C Current/Voltage Sensors on the Scada-Mate CX Switch.

For source-transfer applications utilizing two Scada-Mate CX Switches, a Micro-AT® Source-Transfer Control or 5802 Automatic Switch Control can be furnished. Both controls provide transfer in as little as 70 cycles.

Simple installation. Scada-Mate CX Switches are easy to install. Lifting means are provided for convenient rigging and hoisting. With their integral sensors and disconnect—and no vertical operating pipe—Scada-Mate CX Switches present a clean uncluttered look.
