With more than 50 years of
experience, ABB is the test
switch manufacturer with the
largest installed base in North
America. ABB introduced the
FT switch and continues to be
the leader in innovation. ABB
now incorporates new ergonomic
separate source test plugs, the
FT-14 Digital FlexitestTM test
switch, and FT cover shields to
make testing safer, faster, and
easier. In addition, ABB now
offers a reverse current shorting
pole option for special
applications.

2.1. FT-1 Standard 10 pole, rear connected test

switch.

2.2. FT-1F Surface mount switch allows the user to —

make the same connections as with FT-1 but on the FT-1F
front of the switch.

2.3. FT-1X Extended length test switch brings the

rear terminal connections to the same depth as
most panel mounted protective relays and
equipment for easier and faster access to wiring
points. Length extension of 8 inches or 10 inches —
depth is available. FT-1X

2.4. FT-14 Provides the same features and

FT Flex
reliability as FT-1 but with a maximum of 14
individual poles. Although supplying 40 percent
more capacity than the FT-1, the FT-14 only requires
fam
18 percent more space.
—
2.5. FT-19R and FT-19RX assemblies accommodate FT-14

up to three FT-1 switches mounted on a 19” wide,

and two-rack unit (2RU), three-rack unit (3RU), or
four-rack unit (4RU) high panel suitable for rack or
switchboard mounting. These assemblies can be
ordered with a full-length clear cover (standard), or
optional full-length black, individual black or clear
covers. —
FT-19R 2RU with full length clear cover

FT-19RX extends the rear terminals of the FT-1

switches to the same depth as most 19” rack
mounted equipment thereby providing improved
access to the rear terminals. FT-19RX two-rack unit
assemblies (2RU) allow the user to mount
protective relays or other equipment in the racks
directly above and below the FT-19RX, optimizing
the space in the rack and reducing the amount of
wire required.

FT-19 3RU lockable version

2.6 FT-19RS assemblies consist of up to two FT-1

switches, two FT-14 switches, or the combination
of one FT-1 and one FT-14 switch mounted on a 19”
wide, and two-rack unit (2RU), three-rack unit
— (3RU), or four-rack unit (4RU) high panel suitable
FT-19R 3RU with special customer labels
for rack or switchboard mounting. Any combination
of FT-1 or FT-14 switches styles may be selected
with individual black or clear covers. Non-ABB
equipment is not included with the assembly (see
FT-19RS picture).

— 2.7 FT-22RS assemblies consists of up to three FT-1

FT-19RX 3RU with full length clear cover or two FT-14 switches mounted on a 22” wide, two-

xitestTM rack unit (2RU), three-rack unit (3RU), or four-rack

unit (4RU) high mounting panel suitable for rack or

mily switchboard mounting. Any combination of FT-1 or

FT-14 switches styles may be selected with
individual black or clear covers.

Mounting panels for these assemblies can be of
FT-19RS steel or aluminum. Steel panels are commonly
available in ANSI 61 gray, ANSI 70 gray, and RAL7035
gray, beige, light sandalwood, thunder blue, black,
and white; although panel color or finish, as well as
panel height, can be customized to meet the user’s
necessities. The three rack unit (3RU) assembly also
—
allows switches to be positioned off-center, in
FT-22RS either low or high upper mounting positions in the
rack panel, allowing room for special label
requirements.

to the low-energy sensing during system

misoperation can occur. Therefore, during testing
and maintenance, it is also recommended the relay
trip circuit be disconnected first as a precaution.

— 4.7 Switch handles

04 Switch handles are made of a molded
thermoplastic material. They are typically black for
potential and current circuits, red for trip circuits.
In addition to black and red, switch handles are also
available in various other colors (brown, purple,
green, yellow, blue, white, and orange) for simple
circuit identification. Each handle has a dovetail
indentation that can hold a circuit identification
label. To create and print custom labels, please use
the template found on our website at new.abb.
com/medium-voltage/digital-substations under
‘Test switch and accessories’. In the ‘Downloads for
Test Equipment’ section, select ‘List’.

— Knife blade switches can be operated

05 independently, or ganged together with a
horizontal interlocking tie bar to suit testing
needs. A hole runs through the middle of each
switch handle to allow insertion of interlocking
bars that can mechanically tie 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, or
14 adjacent switch handles together. Interlocking
bars can be screwed into either side of the handle
and can be easily removed if necessary. Interlocking
bars are ordered as a separate line item and
installed by the customer ; see “Test plug &
accessories – ordering information” on page 33.

4.8 Terminal connections

Connection terminals are located at the rear of the
switch (except on the front connected FT-1F). Most
Flexitest switch terminals are marked with a white
raised 3-D numbering, which allows easier
identification of poles along the rear of the switch
(1 to 20 on FT-1 and 1 to 28 on FT-14), as shown on
Figure 01, page 13). Each pair of numbered
terminals is associated with a matching pole
designated by a letter on the front of the switch.

All required terminal hardware is supplied with

every Flexitest switch (see Figure 05). Screw
terminals are provided standard with all Flexitest
switches. Connections are made with a hex washer
head screw - #8 thread size (0.164-32), 1/4” hex
head.

4.9 Switch arrangement

Pole positions are identified from left to right on
the front view of the switch by the letters “A”
through “J” or “A” through “N”. Individual pole
designations are used to identify each pole
according to its type or function. In order to
develop a complete switch arrangement, pole
designations should be listed sequentially from left
to right to account for every pole position on the
switch. Unused poles are identified by the letter X.

Warning
All switch arrangements should be checked for
adequate current transformer shorting when
applied to current transformer circuits.
