BREAK SWITCHES
SWITCHES
AIR BREAK
Introduction
The fully enclosed pole mounted SF6 load
break switches, are used extensively throughout
distribution networks and are designed to be
maintenance free with a long service life. Because
the switch is fully enclosed it is more reliable and
enhances the safe operation of the switch. The
switch enclosure is manufactured from, high
grade stainless steel and can be supplied with
porcelain or polymer bushings complete with
factory fitted cable leads or bare terminal palms.
It can be mounted in both pole top or mid pole
configurations.
The switch can be supplied in 12, 24 & 36kV voltage
ratings and up to 630amp breaking current. It can
be manually operated with the use of an operating
stick or via a mid pole actuator mounted below
the switch, with the addition of a fully automated
control unit, it can be locally or remotely operated.
