Dongfa Intelligent supplies the JN15-12 series 12kV Indoor Earthing Switch for switchgear builders and power engineering procurement teams. It is rated for 31.5kA/4s short-time withstand current, 80kA short-circuit making current, 80kA peak withstand current, 42kV power-frequency withstand voltage, and 75kV lightning impulse withstand voltage. Mechanical life is 2,000 operations. Phase spacing options are 210mm, 230mm, 250mm, and 275mm. Creepage distance is 300mm or 380mm depending on configuration.
Thermal Stability & Making Performance
31.5kA/4s Thermal Stability
For the 12kV Indoor Earthing Switch, the closed-state thermal stability current tests the continuous current-carrying capacity of the conductive loop. Copper bar cross-section determines temperature rise during the 4-second test. Silver plating thickness determines contact resistance stability under oxidation and wear. Both are controlled during production to keep temperature rise within safe limits.
80kA Short-Circuit Making Current
The 80kA peak making current tests contact pressure and spring stiffness at the moment of closing. Insufficient contact pressure can cause electrodynamic repulsion, contact bounce, or welding. Insufficient spring stiffness can prevent the contacts from maintaining pressure after closing. Spring stiffness and contact pressure are calculated to withstand 80kA peak current without welding or bouncing.
Coordinated Testing
Each earthing switch undergoes circuit resistance testing and mechanical operation testing before shipment. Circuit resistance testing verifies conductive loop contact quality. Mechanical operation testing verifies contact pressure and spring stiffness. Together they confirm 31.5kA thermal stability and 80kA dynamic stability requirements.
Phase Spacing & Cabinet Fit
Available Phase Spacings
The 12kV Indoor Earthing Switch is available in four phase spacing options: 210mm, 230mm, 250mm, and 275mm. Selection must match the switchgear busbar arrangement.

Inspection Before Shipment
Every unit undergoes full inspection, not sampling. The inspection includes:
Resistance test
Mechanical operation test
Withstand voltage test
Vacuum degree inspection
Export Compliance
Products have been exported to Southeast Asia and parts of Europe, adapting to different market standards and requirements.
Production & Inspection Control
Dedicated Production Line
Earthing switches are produced on a dedicated line separate from main switch lines. Copper bar processing, contact silver plating, spring assembly, and mechanism adjustment each have independent workstations and fixed process parameters. This supports stable batch consistency.
Full Inspection
Every 12kV Indoor Earthing Switch unit passes resistance test, mechanical operation test, withstand voltage test, and vacuum degree inspection before shipment. Test records are traceable and available upon request. Certifications include ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001, with CNAS/IAF recognized testing capability.
Small-Batch Scheduling
The dedicated line supports small-batch flexible scheduling. Standard products support MOQ 1 unit. Four phase spacings can be switched on the same line. Technical response within 1 working day; after-sales response within 24 hours.
FAQ
Q1: What tests does each unit pass before shipment?
Every unit must pass resistance test, mechanical operation test, withstand voltage test, and vacuum degree inspection before shipment. This is full inspection, not sampling. Test records are traceable and available upon request.
Q2: How is creepage distance selected - 300mm or 380mm?
Creepage distance is confirmed by configuration. Confirm 300mm or 380mm based on project pollution level before ordering.
Q3: What is the response time of the technical team and after-sales support?
The technical team responds within 1 working day. After-sales response is within 24 hours.
Q4: Can four phase spacings be produced on the same line?
Yes. The dedicated earthing switch line supports small-batch flexible scheduling. Four phase spacings (210mm, 230mm, 250mm, 275mm) can be quickly switched on the same line. Standard products support MOQ 1 unit.
Q5: What switchgear types does this earthing switch fit?
The 210mm, 230mm, 250mm, and 275mm phase spacings cover mainstream switchgear designs. Replacement projects only need to confirm the original phase spacing for selection.
