Mounting and manual operation.

Match the flat-mounted, C1 or C2 form to the panel. Specify any D earthing blade together with its manual mechanism and operating linkage.

Installation arrangements

Arrangement Mechanical and primary fit Operating interfaces and interlock
Flat-mounted GN27 Match the base fixing pattern, phase spacing and primary terminals to the panel. Specify the complete mechanism and operating linkage; confirm whether an earthing blade is required.
Through-wall C1 The moving-contact blade side passes through the wall. Confirm wall openings, terminal connections and clearances. Match the mechanism position and linkage to the wall and panel arrangement.
Through-wall C2 The stationary-contact side passes through the wall. Confirm wall openings, terminal connections and clearances. Specify the complete model and any D earthing-blade arrangement, with its compatible mechanism and interlock.

Mounting and primary fit

Reference geometry
Reference geometry is 540 mm between each pole’s paired supports and 460 mm between phase centres. Confirm these references against the selected outline and mounting pattern.
Mounting orientation
Horizontal, vertical or inclined mounting is permitted. Confirm structural support, operating access and cabinet clearances for the chosen position.
Open-blade orientation
At the installation position, the open contact blade must face downward. Check the blade travel and clearances on the complete assembly drawing.
Primary and wall interfaces
Match the selected flat-mounted, C1 or C2 arrangement to the primary conductors, wall openings and terminal access. Use the exact ordered installation outline.

Manual mechanism and interlock

Earthing blade and interlock
Specify the D suffix when an earthing blade is required. The D assembly has a mechanical interlock between the main and earthing blades; confirm the complete operating arrangement.
Manual mechanism
Match CS6-2 to the standard assembly and CS6-1 to the D earthing-blade assembly. If CS6-2 is omitted, state this in the contract.
Crank and operating linkage
Confirm the crank position and fixing pattern after the disconnector is installed, together with the mechanism location and operating linkage.
Complete order designation
State quantity, full model, voltage designation, rated current / 4 s thermal combination and installation form. Confirm the exact rating and nameplate before order approval.

Confirm the full model, quantity, voltage designation, paired current / withstand combination, mounting form and mechanism supply. Match the primary connections, linkage and earthing interlock to the complete order drawing.

GN27 selection questions.

Answers about voltage designation, no-load isolation, mounting and ordering requirements.

01Which current and withstand ratings can I specify?

The paired current / 4 s thermal / dynamic withstand ratings are 630 A / 20 kA / 50 kA, 1,250 A / 31.5 kA / 80 kA and 2,000 A / 40 kA / 100 kA. Specify the complete model, including the required C and D suffixes. See the model rating schedule.

02What is the rated voltage?

GN27-40.5 is rated at 40.5 kV. Match the selected current and withstand combination to the ordered assembly. See the electrical ratings.

03Can GN27 interrupt load current?

GN27 is an indoor disconnector for connecting or changing circuits at voltage under no-load conditions. Its thermal and dynamic withstand ratings are not load-breaking or short-circuit interruption ratings. Coordinate isolation with the switchgear operating procedure.

04What do C1, C2 and D specify?

C1 is a moving-contact-side through-wall arrangement; C2 is a stationary-contact-side through-wall arrangement. D adds earthing blades, with a mechanical interlock between the main and earthing blades. The standard form uses CS6-2; the D form uses CS6-1. If CS6-2 is omitted, state this in the contract. Confirm the complete form and mechanism in the configuration choices.

05What must I check for the mounting arrangement?

Horizontal, vertical or inclined mounting is permitted, with the open contact blades facing downward. Check operating access, crank and linkage fit, wall connections and phase order. The construction reference gives 540 mm between paired supports and 460 mm phase centres; confirm the selected assembly against its installation drawing.

06What should accompany a quotation request?

Provide quantity, full model, confirmed voltage designation, current rating, mounting form, earthing requirement and operating mechanism. Include the cabinet interfaces and required linkage arrangement. Match dimensions, units, tolerances and clearances to the approved order drawing. Use the manual to specify the complete arrangement.
