Load Break Switch (LBS)

Load Break Switch (LBS)

11 kV load break switch panels for isolating and switching healthy circuits, with HRC fuse over-current protection.

Capacity range

Up to 12 kV, 630 A

A Load Break Switch is used at 11 kV sub-stations to make and break load current safely and to isolate the transformer for maintenance. Over-current and short-circuit protection is provided by HRC fuses, giving a compact and economical HT incomer for small and medium sub-stations.

A standard Neutral LBS panel carries three current transformers, two or three potential transformers, three ammeters and a voltmeter with selector switch, in a 1000 × 1000 × 1800 mm cubicle weighing about 450 kg. Panels are wired, labelled and tested before delivery.

Typical applications

  • 11 kV sub-station incomers
  • Transformer isolation and switching
  • Utility connection points
  • Industrial HT distribution
