Voltage transformer disconnect switch for utility metering sections of a medium voltage switchgear

A voltage transformer switch assembly for a utility metering section of a medium voltage switchgear, the voltage transformer switch assembly comprising:

• a voltage transformer disconnect switch housed in a voltage transformer switch compartment of the utility metering section of the medium voltage switchgear, wherein the voltage transformer disconnect switch comprises a plurality of switch blades, one for each phase of a voltage transformer switch input bus, wherein the switch blades are mounted between insulators in the voltage transformer switch compartment;
• pin members configured to snap into place and secure the insulators to the switch blades sandwiched therebetween in the voltage transformer switch compartment;
• a plurality of clips configured to connect the voltage transformer disconnect switch to one of a main bus via the voltage transformer switch input bus, and a ground bus, wherein the clips comprising upper main power clips and lower grounding clips are configured for a tight connection to the switch blades, when the switch blades are engaged with the clips;
• and
• a switch handle assembly operably connected to the voltage transformer disconnect switch via a drive system, wherein the switch handle assembly comprises a switch handle configured to operate the voltage transformer disconnect switch.
