With more than 60 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 to make
power system testing safer,
faster and easier. Recent
additions include the FT-14D
Digital Flexitest™ switch,
ergonomic separate source
test plugs, FT cover shields,
FT slotted covers for hanging
tags and reverse current shorting
pole option.

2.2. FT-1F surface-mount switch allows the user

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

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

2.4. FT-14 provides the same features and
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
18 percent more space. fam
2.5. FT-19R and FT-19RX assemblies accommodate
up to three FT-1 switches mounted on a 19-inch
wide, two-rack unit (2RU), three-rack unit (3RU) or FT-14
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-19RX extends the rear terminals of the FT-1 FT-19R 2RU with full-length clear cover
switches to the same depth as most 19-inch rack-
mounted equipment, thereby providing improved
access to the rear terminals. FT-19RX two-rack unit
(2RU) assemblies 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.

of one FT-1 and one FT-14 switch mounted on a 19-
inch wide, two-rack unit (2RU), three-rack unit

of FT-1 or FT-14 switch styles may be selected with

4.7 Switch handles

Switch handles are made of molded thermoplastic
04

material. They are typically black for potential and

current circuits and red for trip circuits. In addition
to black and red, switch handles are 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.’
10

Knife blade switches can be operated

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 and
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 3D 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 in
figure 04, 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 10). Screw
terminals are provided standard with all Flexitest
—
switches. Connections are made with a hex washer
11 head screw, #8 thread size (0.164–32), 1⁄4 -inch hex
head.

— Connections to ALL equipment should be

made using standard and safe connection
practices. Recommended maximum torque
values for all FT switch terminals is 16 in-lbs.

04
Exceeding this torque may result in damage to
terminal threads. On extended versions of the
FT switch (ex. FT-1X), exceeding maximum
torque values may lead to loosening of internal
hardware. Even number terminals (bottom
row) of Flexitest™ switches should be
connected to voltage transformers and current
transformers, while odd number terminals (top
row) should be connected to equipment that
is to be isolated, such as meters and relays.
Maximum lug size = yellow 10–12 AWG ring
terminal. Recommended lug size for PTs is 12
AWG and for CTs is 10 AWG.

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. 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.

All switch arrangements should be checked for

adequate current transformer shorting when
applied to current transformer circuits.
