The LK-GLBS is a SF6 gas load break switch. It consists of a puffer rotary load break switch housed within a SF6 gas chamber enclosed by an outer insulating shell. The airtight sealing of the shell is in the front area.

The LK-GLBS conforms to IEC 298 for switchgear which are sealed for life. It also conforms to IEC 420 regarding load break switch with fuses, IEC 265 regarding load break switches and IEC 129 regarding earthing switches.

Dielectric field distribution and leakages current between incoming and outgoing terminals are controlled by large creepage distances, bushings and by an internal earth grid to provide safety and protection to service personnel.

The load break switch is mounted within the insulation casing of epoxy resin. During the opening operation, the LK-GLBS interrupts the current by the rotary and puffer action of the SF6 gas on the arc.

The three positions of the switch are realised by rotating  the moving contact/air piston on a unic shaft.

The spring charged mechanism can be motorised. The LK-GLBS is compatible with standard cable bushings and HRC fuses for 12 kV and 24 kV applications.

MOVING CONTACT / PISTON
It slides inwards as well as rotate during opening. When the moving contact retracts, the SF6 gas within is pumped out and it strikes, deionizes and extinguishes the arc.



The switch is capable of interrupting currents up to 630A at 12 kV when operating without SF6, ie, in air.

The LK-GLBS can be fitted with fuse holders to function as a fuse switch with tripping trigged by blowing of the fuses.

The LK-GLBS is arc-proof tested.The over pressure valve is integrated in the structure of the shell and realises the arc proof function.

The LK-GLBS is a compactly designed switch that can be housed in a panel by the dimensions of 370mm x 950mm x 1650mm (W x D x H).
