Precautions for the use of loadbreak connectors

Load connectors can be divided into two types according to different voltages. They are high-voltage load switches and low-voltage load switches. When you operate the load switch, you need to pay attention to some things that can help you avoid trouble, check them now.

Precautions for the use of  load break connectors

A load switch is similar to a disconnector but with a simple fire extinguisher that can be used to connect or disconnect circuits that are normally overloaded. However, the load break connectors cannot cut off the short circuit current. Mostly, it is applied into combination with a high voltage fuse to use a fuse to cut off a short circuit current. Keep the following in mind:

1. Load switches are rigorously inspected, assembled, adjusted and tested prior to factory shipment, so they do not need to be disassembled and readjusted under normal circumstances.

2. Before operation, the insulation should be cleaned and all rotating parts should be coated with lubricant.

3. After performing no-load open / close operations multiple times, the contact system and operating mechanism must be free of hysteresis and clogging.

4. The contact surface of the grounding area should be polished to ensure good grounding.

5. Tighten the busbar fixing bolts and connect the switch The busbar must be properly configured to prevent the load switch from withstanding the mechanical stresses from the busbar.

6. Normally, short-circuit operation is not allowed because the load switch can only be connected by interrupting the normal load current.

7. The load switch is generally operated frequently, and care must be taken not to loosen the parts after repeated operations. If the number of operations reaches the specified limit, maintenance needs to be performed. If the contacts are damaged by the arc, they will need to be repaired or replaced.

8. When using the load switch in combination with a fuse, the fuse fuse must be selected so that the fuse blows first when the fault current is greater than the cutoff capacity of the load switch.

9. After overhauling the compressed air load switch, the knife stroke and opening should be adjusted according to the rules.

10. For oil immersion load switches, always check the oil level. Fill with oil when there is a shortage of oil to prevent an explosion during operation. For safety reasons, the shell of this oil-immersed load switch must be securely grounded.

It can be divided into high voltage and low voltage load switches according to the voltage used.

Precautions for using high voltage load switch

1. The switch frame, protective steel pipe, etc. must not be grounded in series, and should be installed vertically;

2. Before the high-voltage load switch works, the high and low-voltage complete sets of equipment must be repeatedly tested to ensure that there is no blocking phenomenon and the closing condition of the rotation;

3. In order to fuse the fuse first when the fault current is greater than the breaking capacity of the load switch, a suitable fuse fuse should be selected in series with it;

4. During the inspection, you should pay attention to whether there is any breakage, dirt, whether the connection part is overheated, etc., and you cannot use water to flush the switch.

Low voltage load switch

You can aslo name low voltage loadbreak connectors as switch fuse groups. This is suitable when the load circuit of the AC power frequency circuit is opened and closed manually infrequently. It can also be used for line overload and short circuit protection. The on / off circuit is completed by the contact knife, and overload and short circuit protection is completed by the fuse. Both the plastic cover knife switch and the iron case switch used before the 1970s were low voltage load switches.

The opening and closing speed of the contacts of the small-capacity low-voltage load switch is related to the operating speed of the handle. The operating mechanism of the large-capacity low-voltage load switch employs the principle of spring energy storage. The opening / closing speed has nothing to do with the operating speed of the handle. The structure is simple and it has a reliable mechanical interlock device. After opening the switch cover, it cannot be opened or closed. To ensure work safety, the lid cannot be opened after it is closed.

Differences between load switch and circuit breaker

In life, we often use switches. There are two types of switches: load switch and circuit breaker. Both of them can connect and cut off the circuit power supply, but the circuit breaker has the function of overcurrent and overload protection. Next, I’ll introduce the differences between the two switches.

Load switch refers to the control appliance with simple arc extinguishing device and load opening and closing circuit. It can turn on and off a certain load current and overload current, but can not turn off the short-circuit current. It must be used in series with the high-voltage fuse to cut off the short-circuit current with the help of the fuse. It is specially used to deal with current (fault current and rated current). The insulation level of circuit breaker fracture is very low, so the ability to deal with overvoltage is very weak. The switch specially dealing with voltage (the fracture insulation level is very high, which can deal with high fracture withstand voltage value) is the disconnector, commonly known as the knife switch. The disconnector can not deal with any large current, rated current and short-circuit current, and can cut off small current circulation.

The circuit breaker can connect and disconnect the circuit under load. When the system has a short-circuit fault, it can quickly cut off the short-circuit current. It can also automatically remove the short-circuit fault under the action of the protection device Haohua Diantong. It can deal with current (rated current) and voltage (the insulation level of the fracture is higher than that of the circuit breaker, but lower than that of the disconnector), but although the load switch can open and close the rated current and close the short-circuit current, it is strictly prohibited to open and close the short-circuit current. Since the load switch cannot disconnect the short-circuit current, it is necessary to install a fuse to provide remote backup protection.

The essential difference between load switch and circuit breaker is that their breaking capacity is different. The breaking capacity of circuit breaker can be very high in the manufacturing process, but the breaking capacity of load switch is limited. The protection of load switch is generally fuse protection, only quick break and overcurrent. The circuit breaker is mainly protected by adding current transformer with secondary equipment.

The above is the differences between load switch and circuit breaker. Do you know more about them? Zhejiang Xikai Electric Co., Ltd is the leading and professional loadbreak connectors exporter, any interests, welcome to contact us!

Do load break connectors differ from circuit-breaker?

From the beginning to the end of the day, you can touch the switch, turn on and turn off the light. When decorating the house, people pay more attention to the installation position of the switch, but now it is not clear about the load switch and the circuit breaker (the two are more commonly used). After asking our loadbreak connectors wholesaler about the difference between the two, and now I will share these with you.

 FKN12 Indoor Load Break Switch

 Difference #1 Definition

What are load break connectors?

The load switch is to install the fuse on the knife arm of the movable contact of the isolating switch, and the isolating switch + fuse combination electrical appliance constructed from this is called the load switch.

 Due to the installation of a fuse, the load switch has a short-circuit breaking capacity. Since the short-circuit breaking capacity here is provided by the fuse, it is also called the cut-off current.

 We assume that the load switch controls a motor, and now one of the phases of the motor is short-circuited for some reason, the corresponding fuse is blown, and the current in the other two phases surges. If this load switch can automatically break, then the contacts of the load switch (note, not the fuse) will have a large current, which may burn the contacts of the load switch. This current is called transfer current.

 Therefore, the low-voltage load switch does not allow automatic opening.

  What is a circuit-breaker?

The circuit breaker is also a kind of switch, which can close, carry and break the current under normal circuit conditions and can close, carry and break the current under abnormal circuit conditions within a specified time. But the circuit breaker can break overcurrent, that is, overload current and short-circuit current.

 Therefore, the circuit breaker must have several parameters of the switch, and must also have the parameter of breaking the short-circuit current.

 The circuit breaker has the same parameters as the loadbreak connectors including:

1) Rated voltage and rated current

2) Short-time withstand current and short-circuit making capacity.

 Difference #2 Precautions

1. Load break connector

(1) For vertical installation, the switch frame, closing mechanism, cable sheath, and protective steel pipe should be reliably grounded (cannot be grounded in series).

 (2) Before operation, several no-load opening and closing operations should be carried out. There is no blocking of each rotating part, the closing is in place, and there is sufficient safety distance after opening.

 (3) The fuse melt used in series with the load switch should be selected appropriately, that is, when the fault current is greater than the breaking capacity of the load switch, the melt should be guaranteed to fuse first, and then the load switch can be opened.

 (4) When the switch is closed, the contact is good, and the connection part is not overheated. During the inspection, pay attention to check the porcelain bottle for dirt, cracks, porcelain falling, flicker and discharge; the switch cannot be flushed with water (indoor type).

  2. Circuit breaker

Pay special attention to the fact that the contact reliability of the large-capacity circuit breaker will directly affect the normal use of the circuit breaker. Therefore, attention must be paid to the installation and the installation must be carried out in strict accordance with the requirements of the manufacturer.

Can loadbreak switches replace circuit breakers?

It is not possible, because load switches and circuit breakers have different characteristics, and load switches do not have the function of cutting off short-circuit current. When encountering some accidents, there is no way to ensure the safety of the line, but if the current is not very large, Then you can install only the load switch, which can reduce the cost of the device.

 Your final choice?

Through the above, have you understand the difference between the two? Have you knewn that the load switch cannot replace the circuit breaker? Have you decided which one to choose? No matter which switch you choose, as long as they are convenient to use, they are a good choice. If you have a lot of rooms that need to be installed, so why not cooperate with a loadbreak connectors wholesaler? They always have better price according to your quantity.
