Applications

Working to Solve Real Industry Problems

Southern States’ broad range of solutions can address a variety of issues faced by the high voltage switch market. Our products are designed to solve real industry problems and replace misapplied, suboptimal equipment. Transmission applications, capacitor switching, high voltage mobile solutions, and substation ballistic protection are just a few examples of what Southern States has to offer.

Capacitor Switching

We manufacture capacitor switching devices to reduce system voltage of medium and high voltage shunt capacitor banks.

Reactor Switching

Reactor switching devices are designed to dissipate the energy of an arc across the contacts as well as the associated transient voltage disturbance.

Switch Interrupter Attachments

Growing system loads and a greater need for reliability has led to an increased usage of switch mounted attachments that can add loop splitting, line dropping, and load dropping capabilities to the switching device.

Transmission Reliability Improvement

SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index) minutes quickly expand as you try to locate the fault on a multi tap transmission line. The use of the Smart Tap® technology, along with the ICS® for current measurement and fault directionality, allows the utility to isolate the fault more quickly than using traditional methods.

Circuit Isolation

Long term reliability of your high voltage disconnect switch is critical when selecting the appropriate one to address the needs of your substation.

Transmission Line Switching

One way, two way, and three way phase over phase switches are the most common application used in transmission lines to isolate and segment the system. At Southern States, we can customize any of our switching devices to address your most critical and unique transmission challenges.

Power Factor Correction

To enable the most efficient transmission of power, Southern States utilizes power factor correction technology when manufacturing our capacitor switching devices.

Substation Security Solutions

Protective ballistic solutions are becoming a standard within the electrical industry. Southern States offers continuous threat resistant protection for substation equipment and critical assets.
