The GW4-27.5/6000-JZ is an AC/DC dual-purpose outdoor disconnect switch developed for rail transit test tracks, where the same line must be switched between AC (27.5kV) and DC (1.5kV) power supply for vehicle testing. Its 6000A rating handles the high currents involved in test operations.
The switch combines AC and DC switching capability in one outdoor unit with a dedicated contact system for reliable breaking in both modes. The hot-dip galvanized steel frame, copper alloy contacts and high-strength post insulators support service from -40°C to +70°C at altitudes up to 4,000 m.
Installation is on independent foundations at the test track supply changeover point, with manual or motorized operating mechanisms available.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does a test track need an AC/DC dual-purpose switch?
Vehicle test tracks may need to supply rolling stock with either 27.5kV AC or 1.5kV DC. A dual-purpose disconnect switch handles the changeover safely at up to 6000A without separate AC and DC switchyards.
What is the rated current?
6000A, suitable for high-current test operations.
How do I order this product?
