Increased Revenue
Supply can be quickly restored to unaffected areas, which results in less outage time and therefore increased revenue.

The interrupters are ganged together and driven by an over-centering spring mechanism. This is operated either manually or by a DC motor in a motor compartment below the tank. A manual operating arm allows hookstick operation from ground level. By pulling on the appropriate side of the arm the load break switch can be tripped or closed. The mechanism is "operator independent" so that it does not matter how fast or slow the arm is moved by the operator. A motor mechanism is used in feeder automation schemes to facilitate remote control.

Safe design
In the event of an internal arc fault, a vent on the side of the load break switch ruptures to vent the over-pressure. This eliminates the risk of explosion or detachment from the power pole and since the unit is not oil filled, a major fire hazard is eliminated. Product Type MA, A and FA includes two additional safety features. Firstly a Low Pressure Interlock which locks the operating mechanism if the gas pressure in the tank drops below a pre-set threshold. Secondly a Mechanical Locking Ring is provided to lock the operating mechanism when the ring is pulled to the lock position using a hookstick. The MR and RC products do not include the gas pressure interlock or mechanical locking ring but does include the over-pressure vent.
Easy Installation
High voltage connections on the 27kV models are made with insulated cable tails terminated on epoxy bushings. The cable and bushings are covered by a gripping elastomeric boot that is filled with silicone grease to form an insulated system. Bare terminals instead of covered assemblies are used on the standard 15kV models. The switch is mounted using the standard cross arm mounting bracket.

HV LINE 3 PHASES
MEMORY
SF6 INTERRUPTER
HV Line signals are connected into the electronics module by direct connection to the analogue front end. Special extended range current transformers provide a range from 10A to 16,000A for measurement and fault detection. Embedded voltage screens accurately image the primary voltage value and phase relationship, allowing measurement of voltage, current and phase angle in the electronic module. Each load break switch / sectionaliser is provided with an operator control panel which has a four line liquid crystal display with back lighting for night operation. From here a user can access and program the many measurement and fault detection features available. Three levels of user interface with the operator control panel are provided as follows:

Telemetry Interface
The RL-Series pole mounted load break switch / sectionaliser can be interfaced to your SCADA system either through its built-in V23 modem and a radio, or its RS232 port and a modem of your choice. A variable voltage uninterruptable power supply is included for the radio or modem, which can be mounted inside the communications cubicle. Almost all telemetry protocols can be supported. DNP3 and IEC870 are two of the available protocols.
Computer Interface

The Windows Switchgear Operating System (WSOS) is an advanced personal computer based software package to allow off-line and on-line programming, monitoring and control of a load break switch /sectionaliser via the RS232 port. This is available as an option to the basic RL-Series load break switch / sectionaliser.
Remote Control
As an additional option, Nu-Lec Industries offers the WSOS multiple connect PC based software package to individually remote control and monitor a population of field mounted reclosers and/or load break switches. The system communicates with the control cubicle by either cable, fibre optic, telephone line or radio. WSOS provides additional features such as alarm and event handling, dial in and dial out facilities and report generation.
