Product Overview
The FKN12 - 12D pneumatic load break switch (hereinafter referred to as the load break switch) is an indoor high - voltage switching device for three - phase AC 12kV, 50/60Hz. Under normal circuit conditions, it can close, carry and open load current; it can close short - circuit current and has the ability to carry short - circuit current within a specified time. After the load break switch is equipped with a current - limiting fuse with an impactor, it becomes a load break switch - fuse combined electrical appliance (hereinafter referred to as the combined electrical appliance), which can be used for overload and short - circuit protection of loads (such as power transformers).
This product is suitable for installation in ring main unit switch cabinets, box - type substations and other types of switch cabinets. It is an ideal equipment for the construction, transformation and renewal of current distribution networks, transformation and distribution substations and switch stations.
Key Features
Current Handling Capability：Under normal operation, it can smoothly close, carry, and interrupt load current; in the event of a short - circuit fault, it is capable of closing short - circuit current and carrying short - circuit current within the specified time, ensuring short - term stability of the power grid during faults and gaining time for fault elimination.
Combined Protection Feature：When combined with a current - limiting fuse with an impactor, it forms a load break switch - fuse combination electrical appliance, providing overload and short - circuit protection for loads such as power transformers. This simplifies the system protection configuration and enhances the timeliness and effectiveness of protection.
Compact Structure：Based on the pneumatic arc - extinguishing principle, the overall structure is exquisitely designed with a small footprint, suitable for installation in indoor switchgear with limited space.
Flexible Installation：It has strong compatibility with various types of switchgear such as ring main unit switchgear and box - type substations. It can be conveniently installed in both new construction and renovation projects, reducing construction difficulty and costs.

Transmission LineIn transmission lines, a "π" connection involves breaking the original line from Substation A to Substation B and inserting Substation C, forming a "π" configuration. After the "π" connection, the original single line is divided into two independent transmission lines. Following the "π" connection, Substations B and C may both be powered by Substation A (in this case, Substation C receives power via a feeder from Substation B's busbar, or possibly from another voltage point within Substation B);Encyclopedia09/04/2025 -
What are the principles of forced re-energization of transmission lines?Principles of Forced Re-energization of Transmission LinesRegulations for Forced Re-energization of Transmission Lines Correctly select the forced re-energization end of the line. If necessary, change the connection configuration before forced re-energization, taking into account the reduction of short-circuit capacity and its impact on grid stability. There must be a transformer with its neutral point directly grounded on the busbar at the forced re-energization end. Pay attention to the impactEdwiin09/04/2025 -
Analysis of Accident Handling in Transmission LinesAnalysis of Transmission Line Fault HandlingAs a fundamental component of the power grid, transmission lines are widely distributed and numerous, often exposed to diverse geographical and climatic conditions, making them highly susceptible to faults. Common causes include overvoltage, pollution flashover, insulation damage, tree encroachment, and external damage. Line tripping is one of the most frequent faults in power plant and substation operations, with fault types including single-phase-to-Leon09/04/2025 -
The difference between transmission and distribution linesTransmission lines and distribution lines are both used to carry electrical power from one location to another. However, they differ significantly in key aspects such as primary function, voltage levels, phase configuration, and conductor placement.
