Description:

This SF6 fully insulated gas load break switch is used for medium voltage power distribution. It has tight sealing, small size and long service life for substation and power grid use. It fits 10kV and 24kV medium voltage power systems. It uses fully sealed structure to keep stable work in bad weather, with low daily maintenance.

Key Features & Benefits

3-Position Operation (On/Off/Ground)

Integrates three critical functions—load switching, isolation, and safety grounding—in a single compact unit, eliminating the need for separate grounding switches and simplifying RMU design.

Fully Sealed SF₆ Insulation & Arc Extinction

The entire active part is enclosed in an epoxy resin-sealed SF₆ gas chamber.It uses SF₆’s good insulation and arc-quenching properties.
It can operate stably in harsh environments (high humidity, dust, high altitude, condensation) with little maintenance.

The fully enclosed, gas-insulated design of our SF6-insulated load break switch eliminates the risk of contact oxidation and external pollution, ensuring consistent performance in both indoor and outdoor installations.

High Compatibility with Global Brands

Engineered for seamless replacement and retrofitting of Schneider, ABB, Siemens and other international brand RMU switch units, making it ideal for grid modernization and old equipment upgrades.

Compact & Space-Saving Design

Integrated modular structure reduces the overall size of the ring main unit, saving valuable substation space while maintaining full electrical performance.

Built-In SF₆ Gas Density Monitoring

Equipped with a temperature-compensated SF₆ gas density gauge for real-time pressure monitoring, with clear color-coded zones (green = normal, red = alarm) to prevent gas leakage risks.

Enhanced Safety & Anti-Misoperation

Mechanical interlocking between the 3 positions prevents incorrect operation, ensuring maximum safety for maintenance personnel and grid reliability.
