The RH-B series outdoor gang isolator switch adopts a three-phase gang-operated structure and is suitable for outdoor installation in:
overhead distribution lines,
pole-mounted substations,
transformer isolation systems,
industrial distribution networks.
The switch is designed to:
isolate energized equipment under no-load conditions,
provide a visible disconnection point,
improve maintenance safety,
support manual operating mechanisms.
Unlike circuit breakers or load break switches, the RH-B isolator is mainly intended for isolation purposes rather than interrupting load current.

Working Principle
The RH-B gang isolator switch mechanically links all three phases together so they operate simultaneously through a common operating handle or linkage mechanism. The switch creates a visible air gap after opening, ensuring safe isolation for maintenance personnel.
Applications
Pole-mounted substations
Overhead distribution lines
Utility power networks
Rural electrification projects
Transformer isolation systems
Industrial outdoor switchyards
