High Velocity Whip

High Velocity Whip

For interruption of substantially greater amounts of line charging current, SEECO has developed the High Velocity Whip (HVW), a spring loaded, stored energy arcing horn, which achieves a very large air gap within the first cycle after separation. The whip also employs a Delrin® tip, which assists in the dissipation of ionized gases.  Tested at NEETRAC, the HVW outperformed all other arcing horns in head to head competition.

The HVW is available for use with all SEECO side, center, center Vee and double end break switch configurations, at voltage ratings of 46-230 kV.
