  • Apparatus and method for sectioning the phase conductors of an electric power distribution network
    Patent number: 9659730
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus (50) for sectioning the phase conductors (L1, L2, L3) of a multi-phase electric power distribution network (NET) comprising a plurality of disconnectors (1, 2, 3), each disconnector being operatively associated to a related said phase conductor and comprising switching means (S) for sectioning a related phase conductor and a control unit (CU) that is capable of controlling said switching means and is capable of wireless communicating with remote devices. The control units of said disconnectors (1, 2, 3) execute different managing procedure depending on the operating status of said electric power distribution network. In a further aspect, the invention relates to a control system for executing the above described method.
