G&W Electric Trident solid dielectric insulated switches offer more flexibility without the need for preventative maintenance, leading to a longer-lasting solution that can be designed for your unique application.

Trident switches provide the total lifecycle cost and operational benefits of fuseless, electronically controlled, resettable overcurrent protection, with the safety and maintenance benefits of an environmentally friendly dead-front design.

  • Deadfront design provides increased operator safety, with no exposed live parts
  • Optional visible break feature (SafeVu) built into the switch, which eliminates the need to remove elbows or use externally mounted linkage system to provide a visible open
  • Automation ready for motor operation from the factory or as an easy add-on in the field
  • Environmentally friendly and lowest total life cycle cost that does not contain oil or gas for a maintenance-free design
  • Operational benefits of fuseless, electronically controlled, resettable overcurrent protection
  • Integral Current and Voltage sensors to eliminate external sensors
  • Submersible / Weatherproof: For use in the harshest environments up to 20-feet (6m) head of water
