    Model meaning

    FLN36-12D Model meaning diagram

    Normal service condition

    • Ambient temperature: maximum temperature +40℃, minimum temperature -40℃
    • Humidity: Maximum average daily relative humidity ≤95%, maximum average monthly relative humidity ≤90%
    • Altitude: ≤2000 meters
    • Seismic capacity: 8 degrees
    • The surrounding air should be free from corrosive, flammable gas, water vapor and other obvious pollution, there should be no frequent violent vibration.
    • Annual leakage rate: ≤0.1%
    Special Conditions:

    When the load break switch is used at an altitude of more than 2000 meters, it needs to be specially noted so that the design scheme can be adjusted during manufacturing.

    (At present, the load break switch manufactured by the company has a precedent of safe operation at an altitude of about 3,000 meters)

    Structural principle

    FLN36-12D load break switch main circuit and ground circuit are sealed in the epoxy resin made of APGl art cast insulation shell, with good insulation performance, anti-pollution environment and other advantages. The insulation shell is composed of the upper and lower insulation covers and is filled with SF6 gas with a relative pressure of 0.4bar. The lower insulation cover has explosion-proof measures to ensure that the overpressurized SF6 gas is directly sprayed into the rear channel of the cabinet in case of an accident, ensuring personal safety.

    Arc-extinguishing principle

    SF6 gas has good arc extinguishing performance. In order to extinguish the arc quickly, the switch generates an arc when the static and static contacts are just separated during the process of breaking the current. At this time, due to the magnetic field of the permanent magnet, the arc is driven around the static and static contacts to rapidly dissociate and cool, and is extinguished when the current is over zero. This permanent magnet rotating arc principle has strong extinguishing ability, light contact burn, and prolongs electrical life.

    Structural characteristics

    The load break switch and the combined appliance are composed of the same insulated body switch body, the same spring operating mechanism, the fuse contact holder and the fuse action impact trip system. The load break switch of the front connector of the touchable cable is composed of a special insulated body switch body and a general spring bath moving mechanism.

    The upper and lower body is injected by epoxy resin to form an inflatable inner cavity. The rotating movement of the public moving contact can complete the three working states of "make-break-ground" in order. The electric closing and opening can be installed on the basic hand spring energy storage operating mechanism to achieve remote control operation for users to choose.

    The front of the mechanism box is provided with SF6 gas pressure gauge and position indication. The pressure gauge is used to monitor SF6 gas pressure changes. The position indicating device is directly connected with the driving shaft of the moving contact, and the working position of the indicating moving contact is absolutely reliable.

    The rear part of the body is equipped with a safety diaphragm to meet the requirements of the pressure system, and has the function of pressure release and escape. When some kind of accident may occur in the arc extinguishing room, the pressure is too high. Overpressurized gas can break through the diaphragm and be released. The gas is sprayed directly to the rear, avoiding forward injection or other phenomena, thus ensuring personal safety.

    The load break switch and the ground switch, the ground switch and the front door (the switch has this interlock for cabinet allocation) have reliable mechanical interlocks.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    What is the normal operating temperature range for this load break switch?
    The FLN36-12D load break switch is designed to operate under ambient temperatures ranging from a maximum of +40℃ to a minimum of -40℃.
    Can the switch be installed at altitudes higher than 2000 meters?
    Yes. While the standard design is rated for altitudes ≤2000 meters, the design scheme can be customized during manufacturing for higher altitudes. The company has a proven track record of safe operation at altitudes of approximately 3000 meters.
    What is the arc-extinguishing principle used in this switch?
    It utilizes SF6 gas and a permanent magnet rotating arc principle. When contacts separate, the magnetic field drives the arc around the contacts to rapidly cool and extinguish it when the current passes zero, ensuring a prolonged electrical life.
    What safety mechanisms protect operators from overpressure?
    The switch features a safety diaphragm at the rear of the epoxy resin body. In case of an accidental overpressure, the diaphragm breaks, directing the release of gas safely to the rear of the cabinet rather than forward.
    Can the load break switch still operate if SF6 gas pressure drops to zero?
    Yes, even if the SF6 gas pressure drops to zero gauge pressure, the load switch is still capable of operating safely at its rated current.
    What is the mechanical life of the switch and grounding mechanism?
    The load break switch has a rated mechanical life of 3000 operations, while the grounding switch has a rated mechanical life of 2000 operations.
