Load Break Switch Panel

Load Break Switch Panel

Load Break Switches (MLBS) are installed downstream each High-Speed Circuit Breaker, thus allowing, in case of failure, to isolate the Circuit Breaker and ensure system safety.

The layout may be completed by an additional Load Break Switch that connects two feeders to ensure service continuity in case of failure of one circuit breaker. This increases the overall safety by including one more isolation step.

All switches are indoor reliable solutions based on our 50-yearlong technical experience.
