Product descriptions from the supplier
Product Overview
The s high - voltage pneumatic load break switches and their combined electrical appliances are indoor high - voltage switchgear for AC 12kV, 50Hz. This load break switch features high specific technical parameters and reliable action. The basic form of the operating mechanism is manual spring - energy - storage type, and it can also be equipped with an electromagnetic spring operating mechanism. Based on the pneumatic arc - extinguishing principle, it can interrupt multiple times without replacing the arc - extinguishing tube.
The high - voltage load break switch can close, carry and open load currents under normal circuit conditions, and has the capability to close short - circuit currents and open short - circuit currents within a specified short time.
The load break switches can be equipped with earthing switches. The earthing switch has the same short - circuit making capacity as the load break switch, as well as the dynamic and thermal stability capability, and has a strict mechanical interlock with the load break switch, ensuring that misoperation is impossible in terms of structure.
Key Features
When the FKN12 - 12 load break switch is equipped with a high - voltage current - limiting fuse (with a striker) to form a load break switch - fuse combination, it serves as overload and short - circuit protection for loads (such as power transformers). When one or more phases of the fuse blow, the three phases of the load break switch automatically open.
The high - voltage load break switch is suitable for installation in ring - main unit switch cabinets and other types of switch cabinets for receiving and distributing electrical energy.

Impact of DC Bias in Transformers at Renewable Energy Stations Near UHVDC Grounding ElectrodesImpact of DC Bias in Transformers at Renewable Energy Stations Near UHVDC Grounding ElectrodesWhen the grounding electrode of an Ultra-High-Voltage Direct Current (UHVDC) transmission system is located close to a renewable energy power station, the return current flowing through the earth can cause a rise in ground potential around the electrode area. This ground potential rise leads to a shift in the neutral-point potential of nearby power transformers, inducing DC bias (or DC offset) in their01/15/2026 -
