38kv Metal Enclosed vs Padmount Switch
38kv Metal Enclosed vs Padmount Switch
(OP)
Looking for opinions and pros/cons for using metal enclosed (air insulated) vs a padmount (gas insulated) 34.5kv switch. Application in outdoor feeding the primary of a 34.5kv transformer (breaker located upstream).
Furthermore looking to use a switch in a manual transfer function to feed transformer primary from 2 different sources. Looking for any ideas on best switch type for this application. Initial thought is a metal enclosed duplex type switch.

For the particular application I'm looking at it will require overhead conduit out of the switch. Based on my experience the Air Insulation switch will provide more flexibility for overhead routing since pad mounted is typically designed for bottom entry only?
