Understanding the Remote Control NOJA Power VISI-SWITCH®

NOJA Power has confirmed the integration of its field-proven RC-10 control system into the revolutionary NOJA Power VISI-SWITCH®, delivering remote control capability to engineers seeking to decarbonise their distribution grid.

The NOJA Power VISI-SWITCH® is the world's first solid dielectric insulated Load Break Switch featuring visible internal isolation, setting a new benchmark for safety and environmental responsibility. With a 30-year maintenance-free design and zero-SF6 commitment, VISI-SWITCH® provides utilities with a robust alternative to legacy air break and SF6 switches.

Building on over a decade of successful field service in recloser applications, the RC-10 controller now empowers VISI-SWITCH® users with remote control functionality. Through the OEM factory integrated Motor Accessory option, operators can manage switching operations via industry-standard SCADA protocols, including DNP3, IEC 61850, and IEC 60870-5-104, ensuring seamless integration into modern grid automation systems.

RC-10 Reliability and Technical Highlights:

• Hold-Up Time: 72 hours on battery backup
• Control Cubicle IP Rating: IP66 for superior environmental protection
• Maximum Power Consumption: 65 W
• Operations on Battery Supply: Up to 20 operations without mains power
• Duty Cycle: 60 seconds
• Control Cable Length: Up to 20 meters

The RC-10 platform's proven durability and compliance with international standards such as IEEE C37.63, IEC 62271, and AS 2067 ensure that utilities can trust this solution for critical network operations. Combined with the VISI-SWITCH®'s visible isolation and arc fault venting, this integration delivers unmatched safety, reliability, and operational flexibility.

“The addition of remote control capability to VISI-SWITCH® represents a significant step forward in distribution automation,”said Neil O'Sullivan, Group Managing Director at NOJA Power. “Utilities can now enjoy the benefits of visible isolation and remote operation in a single, environmentally friendly device.”
