WORLDWIDE EXPERIENCEAND PERFORMANCESince 1905, G&W has been provid-ing custom electrical products andinnovative solutions to power usersaround the world. Today, G&Wcontinues that tradition with a fullline of solid dielectric switchgearusing the industry’s latest insulationtechnology. Trident switchgearcombines the best solid dielectricinsulation materials with timeproven, rugged, and reliableswitching designs. Drawing onmany years of field experience inthe areas of load break switchingand vacuum fault interrupter tech-nology, G&W offers one of thewidest selections of electrical distri-bution switchgear in the industry.
SOLID DIELECTRICTECHNOLOGYTrident switchgear utilizes G&W’stime proven, submersible epoxypolymer system to fully encapsulatethe vacuum interrupters. This sys-tem provides excellent insulationproperties and incorporates a per-manently bonded semi-conductiveexternal coating providing a fullyshielded, void-free construction.Internal shields limit the electricalstress in the epoxy, thereforeincreasing its electrical integrity. Allmodules are UV protected and100% factory tested for partial dis-charge. Dual ratio current transform-ers are encapsulated within eachmodule providing either 500:1 or1000:1 protection characteristics.
SUBMERSIBILITYSolid dielectric switchgear is dead-front and fully submersible. Unitshave remained fully operable afterwithstanding a 20 foot head ofwater for 20 days.
MAINTENANCE BENEFITSSolid dielectric insulation means nomore routine maintenance as with
oil and air switchgear. Solid dielec-tric insulation also offers an alterna-tive to gas insulated devices.
APPLICATION FLEXIBILITYSolid dielectric switchgear offerscompact, modular construction.Module configurations permitelbow style connections to be allfront mounted or front/back mount-ed depending on user preferrence.The same size modules can func-tion as either load break or faultinterrupting. Three phase switchescan be linked together to create tai-lored multi-way switch configura-tions. Trident fault interrupters offera wide variety of electronic overcur-rent controls for customized systemprotection coordination.Automation is easy whether it is anautomatic transfer scheme or a
fully integrated distribution automa-tion “Smart Grid” project.
IDEAL REPLACEMENT FOROIL FUSE CUTOUTSTrident fault interrupters are anideal replacement for single phaseor three phase oil fuse cutouts byoffering the following advantages:
• No more fuse links to stock or replace
• Maintenance-free, nonflammable solid dielectric insulation
• Positive load break operation andeasy reset of tripped circuits
• Electronic controls mirror fuse link curves
• Easy to automate
• 200A well or 600A separable connector bushing
FULLY TESTEDTrident switches are designed andtested to applicable standardsincluding IEEE C37.74 (IEEEC37.71 and C37.72), IEEE 386,IEC 60265, IEEE 592 and ANSI57.12.28. All fault interrupterdevices must pass recloser-classduties as outlined in IEEE C37.60.

OPERATING MECHANISMFLEXIBILITYTrident-SP, S and ST switchesincorporate integral single phase orthree phase spring-assisted mech-anisms for positive open and closeoperations. The operating mecha-nisms are located within a weldedstainless steel, air insulated hous-ing constructed to withstand conti-nous submersible environments.The spring mechanisms operatethe vacuum interrupters encapsu-lated within the epoxy modules toaccomplish load break switchingand fault interrupting protection.
Trident-SR switches incorporate aninternal magnetic actuator in placeof the spring-assisted mechanism,providing high speed operation.The magnetic actuator eliminatesthe need for add-on externalmotors and cabling making it anideal solution for automated switch-ing applications.
CABLE ENTRANCEFLEXIBILITYCable entrances can be either200A well or 600A separable con-nector bushings for acceptingelbow style connectors. Therugged epoxy surface minimizesthe force required for removingelbow connections compared torubber-to-rubber junctions.Different module orientations permitcable entry from the front, side,bottom or back of the unit.
INTERRUPTER CONTROLFLEXIBILITYTrident switchgear offers a varietyof overcurrent controls includingmany Schweitzer EngineeringLaboratories (SEL) models for faultinterrupting switches to suit mostany protection requirement. AllG&W controls are self-poweredfrom the integral CTs and offer over30 different TCC curve families.Certain models have inrushrestraint, ground fault protection,and manual trip pushbuttons.
Others may be programmedthrough a laptop computer, or witha front panel interface. Tridentcontrols may be mounted within anexternal NEMA 4X (IP56) or 6P(IP67) enclosure, or within theswitch mechanism housing, elimi-nating the need for externalcabling. G&W can also integrateother manufacturer’s controlsdepending on user preference.
MOUNTING FLEXIBILITYTrident switchgear is suitable forsubmersible vault or padmountinstallations. They may be mountedvertically or horizontally, on a wall orfloor, and in any attitude. The smallfootprint is ideal for space restrictedapplications. Stainless steel mount-ing brackets are available for maxi-mum corrosion resistance. Parkingstands are available.
OPERATING HANDLEFLEXIBILITYVarious styles of operating handlesare available depending upon userpreference. Handles can beremovable or permanently fixed tothe switch. Handles can bestraight or angled providing thebest mechanical advantage foroperating personnel. Handles canbe located on the front or side ofthe switch. All are hookstick operable.
AUTOMATION FLEXIBILITYTrident switchgear is easily adapt-ed for automation requirements.From simple remote controlthrough sophisticated distributionautomation schemes, G&W has theproducts and integration expertiseto do the job.

G&W INTERRUPTER CONTROLS
The vacuum interrupter overcurrentcontrol monitors the current on thetap circuits and activates a tripsolenoid, which opens the vacuuminterrupter to interrupt the current.The control is self-powered by cur-rent transformers molded inside theencapsulated module.
For padmount applications, stan-dard control enclosures are NEMA4X (IP56) rated and are mountedinside the padmount enclosure.For vault applications, standardcontrol enclosures are NEMA 4X(IP56) rated and are hardwired with25 feet of cable for mountingremotely from the switch where theenclosure will not be submerged.Optional submersible enclosuresare NEMA 6P (IP67) rated.
G&W CONTROL OPTIONS
Type 1 controls operate three, sin-gle phase vacuum interruptingmechanisms. The Type 1 can befield set for either single phase orthree phase trip mode. It is used onswitches with either single phasereset or three phase reset. Whenin the three phase mode, all threephases trip if the selected trip levelof any individual phase is reached.Trip level selections can be madeunder load or no-load conditionswith current ranges in 12 selectablelevels. Two ranges of minimum tripsettings are available, 15 to 300amps and 30 to 600 amps. Eachunit is preprogrammed with multipleTCCs. The curve selection can beset or changed at any time.
An 8 pole dip switch allows theuser to choose the TCC that bestmatches their individual coordina-tion requirements. The control canbe factory preset to meet the user’srequirements. As protection orcoordination requirements change,settings can easily be changed inthe field. Depressing the manualtrip button when the control is pow-ered up electronically trips all three
phases of the vacuum interrupter.Each control also includes "LastCause of Trip" LEDs. These LEDsindicate which phase experiencedan overcurrent condition, or that thecontrol was given an external ormanual trip command.
Type 2 controls offer features simi-lar to Type 1 with the followingexceptions:
- Three phase protection only
- Minimum trip set for all three phases with one selector switch
- Adjustable phase time delay
- Ground fault (phase imbalance) feature with separate adjustable time delay selector switch for
protection of large three phase motors or transformers. The ground trip level is represented as a percent of the minimum trip level.
- Instantaneous trip and inrush restraint features
Type 3 controls offer features simi-lar to Type 2 and more including:
- Single phase or three phase trip
- Vacuum fluorescent display
- Keypad operation for program-ming parameters and retrieving status of current values
- Multiple TCC curve capability
- Adjustable phase time delay
- Ground fault trip
- Inrush restraint
- Phase identification and
magnitude of fault indication- Readout of real-time current
values
- Selectable instantaneous trip
- Selectable minimum response time
- RS232 or RS485 serial interface
- Laptop programming kit available
Type 4 controls provide the samefeatures as Type 3 controls; howev-er, there is no programming panel,display screen, or manual trip but-ton. The controls are mounted
external in a separate enclosure.The control is programmed using alaptop computer. A laptop pro-gramming kit is available.

OVERCURRENT PROTECTION CONTROL OPTIONS
Type 7 controls provide the samefeatures as Type 4 controls, exceptthat the controls are mounted inter-nal to the switch mechanism hous-ing, eliminating the need for a sep-arate control enclosure and associ-ated cabling. The control is pro-grammed using a laptop computer.A laptop programming kit is avail-able. Single and three phase ver-sions are available.
LAPTOP PROGRAMMING KIT
For Type 3, Type 4 or Type 7 Provides software and cable con-nection to a portable laptop com-puter for programming or retrievingfault interrupter control information.One cable connects to the USBport of the computer and the otherconnects to the control box (Type 3or 4) or mechanism housing (Type 7).

COMPATIBLE RELAYS
Besides the G&W interrupter con-trols, various SchweitzerEngineering Laboratories relayscan also be used with Tridentswitchgear. Specific modelsinclude the SEL Falcon, 351R,651R, 501, 551, 351S and 751A.Other manufacturer’s relays arealso available.
LAZERTM SMART GRID
INTEGRATION
G&W’s Lazer automation system isa pre-engineered control packagethat works in conjunction withpower distribution switchgear toperform automatic switching opera-tions on overhead and under-ground loop distribution circuits.G&W utilizes over 100 years ofindustry experience to match theproper switchgear with the propercontrol for the application. For theLazer solution, G&W utilizesSchweitzer EngineeringLaboratories controls, one of theindustry’s most popular suppliers ofquality protective relays. The Lazeris a protection and control packagethat features one or more protec-tive relays, equipped with distrib-uted capabilities and peer-to-peercommunication to make intelligentoperating decisions and to monitorfield conditions. The Lazer focuseson critical load installations to maxi-mize service reliability.
G&W’s Lazer automation systemspecifically addresses fault detec-tion, isolation and restoration(FDIR) requirements. It continu-ously monitors the circuit. When itsenses an electrical overload orshort circuit fault within its protec-tion zone, it issues a command tothe appropriate switchgear to trip-open within a pre-determined timedelay based on the severity of thefault. Communication with otherupstream and downstream Lazerdevices functions continually todetermine what other actions arerequired to reconfigure the circuits
to automatically restore power tocustomers connected to theunfaulted lines. The entire processfrom fault detection to systemrestoration can typically be per-formed within 60 seconds or less.
REMOTE OPERATION
Motor ActuatorsFor Trident-SFor spring-assisted switchgear,motor actuators are required forremote operation. Actuators areexternally mounted to each switchoperator. If controls are specified,the actuators are hardwired with 25feet of cable. Padmount designsmay have cables cut to length to fitwithin the enclosure. If no controlis specified, the actuator is suppliedwith a male threaded connector foruse with portable controls (seeAccessories). Actuators arehoused within a painted, stainlesssteel, welded enclosure suitable forsubmersible applications.
For Trident-SRTrident-SR switchgear alreadyincorporates an internal, highspeed magnetic actuator and isSCADA ready by design. No exter-nal actuators required for remoteoperation. Various control optionsare available.
