As a dedicated manufacturer, Jinhua Dika Electrical Equipment Co., Ltd. brings over a decade of expertise to the power distribution industry with our FLN36 Series. This Indoor AC High Voltage Load Break Switch (LBS) is engineered for reliable, safe, and compact switching and isolation in 11kV and 33kV secondary distribution networks. Designed with the modern substation in mind, it offers a maintenance-free SF6 insulated solution that enhances operational safety while minimizing footprint and lifecycle costs for utilities, industrial plants, and commercial complexes worldwide.

The FLN36 Series represents a significant advancement in medium voltage switchgear technology. Its core value lies in providing a robust and secure method for load breaking, isolation, and earthing, all contained within a sealed, SF6-filled enclosure. This design virtually eliminates external arcing, protects internal components from environmental contamination, and ensures consistent performance over a long service life. For engineers and project managers seeking to upgrade or build new electrical infrastructure, the FLN36 offers a dependable, space-saving, and safety-focused component that integrates seamlessly into indoor switchgear panels and compact substations.

Key Features & Technical Advantages:

  • Superior SF6 Gas Insulation: The switch contacts are permanently sealed in a stainless steel tank filled with SF6 gas at low pressure. This provides excellent dielectric strength, effective arc quenching during load breaking, and superior protection against moisture, dust, and corrosive atmospheres compared to air-insulated designs.
  • Enhanced Safety & Reliability: The fully enclosed design contains all switching arcs internally, preventing any risk of external flashovers. The gas-tight sealing ensures stable insulating performance and eliminates the need for contact maintenance. A viewing window or position indicator provides clear visual confirmation of the switch status (ON/OFF/EARTH).
  • Compact and Modular Design: Engineered for space efficiency, the FLN36 allows for high-density installation in switchgear panels. Its modular construction facilitates easy cabling, installation, and future panel extensions, making it ideal for applications where space is at a premium.
  • Versatile Operating Configurations: Available with a manual spring-operated mechanism for standard applications. For remote control and automation integration, a motorized operating mechanism is available as an option, enabling seamless integration into SCADA and smart grid systems.
  • Robust Construction & Long Life: The main tank is constructed from high-quality, corrosion-resistant stainless steel. The moving contact system and operating mechanism are designed for high endurance, typically exceeding 10,000 mechanical operations without degradation in performance.
  • Flexible Earthing Options: The series often includes models with integrated three-position functionality (Make-Break-Isolate-Earth), allowing for safe earthing of the downstream circuit directly from the switch, enhancing personnel safety during maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

  1. What is the primary advantage of SF6 insulation in this Load Break Switch?
    SF6 gas offers a dielectric strength significantly higher than air, allowing for a much more compact switch design. It also acts as an excellent arc-quenching medium, ensuring clean and reliable interruption of load currents while containing all arc by-products within the sealed chamber, enhancing safety and reducing maintenance.
  2. Is this switch suitable for outdoor installation?
    The FLN36 Series is specifically designed and tested for indoor applications. For outdoor use, a different product series with appropriate weatherproofing and corrosion protection would be recommended. Please inquire for outdoor solutions.
  3. Can the switch be motorized for remote operation?
    Yes. While a standard manual spring-operated mechanism is common, a motorized operating mechanism is available as a configurable option. This allows for integration into remote control, automation, and SCADA systems for unmanned substations.
  4. How often does the SF6 gas need to be checked or refilled?
    The switch is designed as a sealed-for-life, maintenance-free unit under normal operating conditions. The stainless steel tank and high-quality seals are engineered to maintain gas integrity for decades. A pressure gauge or density monitor is typically provided to indicate gas status visually.
  5. What are the typical busbar connection sizes and types?
    Connections are usually designed for standard copper or aluminum busbars. Common sizes align with the rated current (e.g., for 630A and 1250A ratings). Specific connection dimensions and bolt patterns are provided in the detailed installation drawings available upon request.
  6. Does the switch provide earthing functionality?
    Many models in the FLN36 Series are three-position switches, offering ON, OFF, and EARTH positions. The earthing function allows for the safe grounding of the downstream circuit directly through the switch, a critical safety feature for maintenance work.
  7. What testing is performed on these switches before shipment?
    Each unit undergoes routine tests including power frequency withstand voltage tests, mechanical operation tests, contact resistance measurement, and gas leak detection to ensure it meets the specified performance and safety criteria.
  8. What is the lead time for standard and customized orders?
    Lead times vary based on order quantity, voltage rating, and specific configuration (e.g., manual vs. motorized). Standard configurations typically have shorter lead times. Please contact our sales team with your project details for an accurate delivery schedule.
