II Active Part Details:

The Resistive elements are made of “JF” Type grids. They are made from stainless steel alloy AISI 310
(25% Chromium – 19.8% Nickel) – Non-magnetic & non-inductive Alloy
9 Approximate temperature coefficient = 0.5 x 10-3/°k
The JF System is made from collection of cut metal grids linked to each other by hot spot welding &
insulated from tie rod by Steatite Rings.
Each bank’s Supporting Stainless Steel Rods are linked to mid-potential of the bank

III General Arrangement:

9 Banks mounted between two End Plates & supported horizontally & vertically by porcelain
insulators: 7.2kV – 20kV1min – 60kVBIL
9 “Easy to remove” Panels on front & Rear faces.
9 Internally integrated Thermal Shield (to avoid touch burning).
9 Weather Proof Roof & Protection against Rodents and Birds.
9 RAL 6034 (equivalent to Munsell 7.5 BG 7/2) Painted Galvanized Steel Enclosure.
9 Protection Degree: IP 44
9 Approx Net Weight: < 1100kG
