SF6 Load Break Switch (LBS) for 12 kV, 24 kV and 36 kV medium voltage systems, with 630 A rated current and 16 kA short-time withstand class.
Megates Energy SF6 Load Break Switches are designed for switching load current in medium voltage distribution systems. Configurations are available for 12 kV, 24 kV and 36 kV applications with a 630 A rated-current configuration.
Also searched as an MV load break switch , medium voltage load break switch , SF6 load switch , LBS switch or 36 kV load break switch , the product can be integrated into incoming, outgoing and distribution cubicles.
Manual or motorized operation can be selected according to the project. For motorized applications, 24 VDC motor control can be provided when requested.
A load break switch is not the same as a circuit breaker. Where short-circuit interruption is required, the appropriate circuit breaker, fuse arrangement and protection scheme must be selected separately according to the project.
The SF6 LBS can be integrated into our metal-enclosed medium voltage switchgear for project-specific incoming and outgoing feeder applications.
