Application and Ratings
The Chance unitized D7 is a distribution-level, gang-operated, side-break switch for 15 through
38 kV applications. It is pre-assembled, adjusted, and mounted on a common support at the
factory for three-phase service. D7 switches meet a continuous-current rating of 600 amperes,
a momentary rating of 40,000 amperes, a three-second short time current rating of 25,000
amperes, and applicable NEMA and ANSI standards. It is available in 15 kV (110 kV LIW*),
27 kV (150 kV LIW*), 34.5kV (150kV LIW*) or 38 kV (200 kV LIW*). The D7 is a 600-ampere
loadbreak switch with the Duogap
®
expulsion interrupters. With the Duogap, the D7 is capable
of switching load currents up to 600 amperes, with full recovery voltage across the switch,
and interrupting transformer magnetizing and line-charging currents. This switch may be
used for disconnecting, line sectionalizing, circuit breaker bypassing, and isolating.

Convenient Installation
Field installation time of this pre-assembled switch is greatly reduced below what is usually
required to install separate gang-operated distribution level switches. The three-phase unit is
conveniently raised in one piece to its mounting position, secured to the pole, control sections
attached, and eld adjustment made. Proper synchronization and phase spacing have been
made at the factory. Unitized switches are installed in 2 to 4 hours, compared to non-unitized
switches that take 6 to 8 hours.
One-lift installation cuts
time and cost of separate
gang-operated, distribution-
level switches.
Three mounting variations of the D7 are available.
