Variations and Configurations
The Type AR switch is available in five basic configura
-
tions:
•Horizontal •Vertical
•Phase-over-Phase
•Delta •Inverted
All feature clockwise opening and are operable by torsional
or reciprocating controls as well a hookstick operation option
(full-length down-the-pole control or crossarm-mounted hook
stick-operation control).
1. Full-length down-the-pole controls
consist of Torsional
swing-handle operation for Horizontal, Delta and Inverted
switches and Reciprocating pump-handle operation for Verti
-
cal and Phase-over-Phase switches. (Standard Duty or Heavy
Duty conrols are available for Vertical and Phase-over-Phase
switches.) Switch open or close positions locking provisions
are provided.
2. Crossarm-mounted hook stick-operation controls
provide pull-to-open / pull-to-close switch with maximum
target hook stick accessibility.
Features:
All three phase switches feature a four-link overtoggle mecha
-
nism to assure locked closed blades, mechanical advantage
for easier open and close operation, and "snap" feedback to
the operator.

Description
The Hubbell unitized Type AR switch is a distribution-level,
loadbreak, gang-operated side-break switch designed to
meet not only today’s needs but well into utilities’ future
of distribution automation. Designed for nominal system
voltages of 14.4kV and 25kV three- and four-wire systems
and 34.5kV grounded-wye systems. The Type AR switch is
available with a variety of options, and in ratings for present
and planned requirements.
To minimize field installation time, the Type AR switch is
pre-assembled, adjusted and mounted on a crossarm. Instal
-
lation time is even faster for a Type AR switch with the hook
stick-operation option.
