Focus on: Graphite discs to protect disconnector in medium voltage transformers

Did you know ?

Mersen graphite rupture discs are used to protect disconnectors in medium voltage transformers. Installed in an aluminium enclosure, the disconnect switches are insulated to prevent the development of an electric arc with SF6 gas. As it is a pressure enclosure, this enclosure must be protected against possible risks of overpressure, which could lead to an explosion. Some customers use graphite rupture discs.
