AC Load Break Disconnector switch is a type of equipment that isolates the power failure part from the live part and creates a clear break point to isolate the faulty equipment or carry out the maintenance.
A Load break switch is similar in structure to a disconnector (both have visible disconnection points in the disconnection state), but it can be used to open and close circuits, which in turn resembles a circuit breaker.
However, a circuit breaker can control any circuit, while aLoad break switch can only switch on or off load current, or switch off over load current, so it is only used to switch off and on circuits under normal conditions, not short circuit fault current. However, it is required that its structure can pass the fault current of short circuit time without damage.
The opening and closing frequency and operating life of load disconnecting switches are usually higher than those of circuit breakers.
Product Benefits
Load break switches are devices used to open an electrical circuit by isolating the source from the consumer. Whether they are manual, motorised or with a trip function, these devices ensure the on-load making, breaking and safety disconnection of low-voltage electrical circuits. Easy to assemble and easy to use, they are suitable for structures evolving in the industrial sector, public distribution, as well as emergency switching, distribution panels and motor feeders.
