Technical Deep Dive

Structure & Components

Component | Description | Source |

Load Switch: SF6 or vacuum insulation, 3-position (ON/OFF/EARTH), handles up to 630A.

Fuse Protection: High-voltage fuses (125A max) for short-circuit protection; triggers automatic switch tripping.

Enclosure: Stainless steel (IP54/IP67) or galvanized steel (IP32), anti-corrosion design.

Control System: Manual/spring-operated or motorized mechanisms with mechanical interlocks.


Technical Specifications

Rated Voltage10kV/12kV (±20%)IEC 60038, GB 3906
Insulation MediumSF6 Gas/Air/SolidIEC 62271-200

Operation Principle  

  • Ring Network Design: Forms a closed-loop grid; if Line A fails, power flows via Line B.  

  • Load Switching: SF6 load switches manage normal currents; fuses interrupt faults (≤125A).  

  • Safety Interlocks: Prevents accidental contact with live parts during maintenance.
