The working principle of a The working principle of a high-voltage load break switch (HV LBS) is similar to that of a circuit breaker, featuring a simple arc-extinguishing device. However, its design is relatively straightforward. (HV LBS) is similar to that of a circuit breaker, featuring a simple arc-extinguishing device. However, its design is relatively straightforward.
Operating Mechanism of the High-Voltage Load Break Switch
- Opening Operation:
When the switch opens, the opening spring activates, causing the main shaft to rotate clockwise. This triggers two key processes:- Gas Compression: A crank-slider mechanism moves the piston upward, compressing the gas.
- Contact Separation: Through a transmission system comprising two sets of four-bar linkage mechanisms, the main blade opens first. Then, the arc-extinguishing blade opens the arc contact, and the compressed air from the cylinder extinguishes the arc through a nozzle.
- Closing Operation:
During closing, the main blade and arc-extinguishing blade rotate clockwise simultaneously via the main shaft and transmission system:- Arc Contact Closing: The arc contact closes first.
- Main Contact Closing: As the main shaft continues to rotate, the main contact closes afterward.
During this process, the opening spring stores energy for the next operation.
Key Features and Application
Since the high-voltage load break switch cannot interrupt short-circuit currents, it is typically used alongside a current-limiting high-voltage fuse. The load switch handles the switching of load currents, while the fuse provides short-circuit protection. This combination ensures effective circuit interruption and significantly reduces the thermal and electrical effects of short-circuit currents.
Common Models and Ratings
Examples include 12kV, 24kV, and 36kV load break switches such as FN7-12, FN7-24, FN18, and NAL12.
