Structure and Principle

Basic Structure

This three-phase load switch/combination unit consists of a frame, solid-insulated poles, a spring operating mechanism, isolation/earthing blades, sensors, and transmission parts. The isolating blades and vacuum interrupters are mounted on the frame. The earthing blades are at the bottom, and the operating mechanism (manual/electrical) is on the left side.

Working Principle

● Vacuum Switch: Uses a spring mechanism for closing and a solenoid/manual knob for opening. AC/DC power is supported. Status is visible through a window.

● Isolation/Earthing Blades: Mechanically interlocked; vacuum switch must be open first. Operated via handle with clear status indication.

● Fuse Trip: Uses striker-type fuses. Any phase fuse operation triggers a mechanical release to open the vacuum interrupter reliably (1–3J trip energy).

Outline and Installation Dimension

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the rated voltage and frequency of this vacuum load switch?

The equipment operates at a rated voltage of 40.5 kV and a standard rated frequency of 50 Hz.

What are the ambient temperature limits for normal service conditions?

The unit is designed to operate normally within an ambient temperature range from a minimum of -40°C to a maximum of +65°C.

Can this apparatus be installed at high altitudes?

Yes, standard operation supports altitudes up to 4000 meters. A dedicated high-altitude configuration is available with a 500±3 mm phase-to-phase distance, and parameters are adjusted accordingly.

How does the fuse tripping mechanism protect the system?

It utilizes striker-type fuses. When any phase fuse operates, it activates a mechanical release with 1–3J of trip energy to immediately and reliably trip open the vacuum interrupter.

What is the mechanical lifespan of the load switch and earthing blades?

The mechanical life is rated at 10,000 operations for the vacuum load switch, 2,000 operations for the disconnector, and 2,000 operations for the earthing switch.

What type of interlocking system is integrated between switches?

The isolation and earthing blades are mechanically interlocked to guarantee safety, requiring the vacuum switch to be opened prior to operating either mechanism.
