Introduction
LKE's Sulfur Hexaflouride (SF6) gas load break switch consis of a puffer rotary housed within an SF6 chamber that is then enclosed by an outer insulating shell. This airtight shell is in the front of the switch.

Physical Appearance and Schematic of the SF6 Switch

Standards
- Conforms to IEC 60298 for sealed Switchgear
- Conforms to IEC 60420 for load break circuit with fuses
- Conforms to IEC 60265 for load break switches
- Conforms to IEC 60129 for earthing switches

Design and Materials used for the LK-GLBS (SF6 Switch)
Dielectric field distribution and current leakage 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.

Capacity and Testing of the LK-GLBS (SF6 Switch)
The switch is capable of interrupting currents up to 630A at 12 kV when operating without SF6, i.e., 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).
