Overview

The FKW18(17)-12(40.5) Outdoor AC High Voltage Load Break Switch is a new generation switch designed by integrating domestic manufacturing experience with advanced foreign technology.

It consists of isolating blades, an arc-extinguishing chamber, and an operating mechanism. Using a gas-producing arc-quenching principle, it features strong arc-extinguishing capability, high insulation reliability, simple structure, and minimal maintenance.

Its overall performance meets the advanced level of similar international products.

Applications


  • Medium-voltage distribution networks – for breaking and closing load current

  • Substations & industrial power systems – switching and protection

  • Overhead line systems – sectionalizing and isolation

  • Rural & urban power grids – reliable distribution switching

  • Light-load applications – breaking and closing no-load lines or transformers


Key Features


  1. Wide Voltage Range – Suitable for 12kV to 40.5kV systems.

  2. Advanced Arc-Extinguishing Technology – Uses gas-producing arc-quenching principle for safe and effective switching.

  3. Simple & Robust Design – Minimal maintenance, easy operation.

  4. High Insulation Reliability – Provides safe isolation distance when in open position.

  5. Strong Environmental Adaptability – Designed for harsh outdoor conditions.

  6. International Standards Compliance – Performance reaches the advanced level of similar global products.
