Product environment

Sécheron RS-type roof-mounted disconnectors are known by railway car builders, traction propulsion equipment manufacturers, and train operators for their performance, reliability, and low maintenance. Our RS disconnector platform offers a wide range of configurations and options to meet the needs of most railway applications. Our products and solutions include pantograph disconnectors with or without earthing, AC/DC traction selection for multi-system vehicles, and roof line disconnectors with or without making capabilities to connect or isolate traction transformers from the power supply.

Our disconnectors can be delivered on a stand-alone basis or integrated into a MACS AC circuit breaker. A specific indoor version, IS type, can be delivered integrated into Sécheron’s smart, compact MODBOX® high-voltage enclosure with other high- and low-voltage functions to ensure the electrical safety, measurement, and control of the traction chain.
