Description

Product Overview

The SGM-FLW-12 Outdoor Pole-Mounted SF6 Load Switch is a high-reliability, maintenance-free, oil-free switching device designed for 12kV rural and urban distribution networks. It uses 99.99% pure SF6 gas as both insulation and arc-extinguishing medium, with a hermetically sealed spring mechanism that ensures fast making and breaking operations. The fully enclosed housing protects against moisture and contaminants, ensuring long-term stability in harsh outdoor environments.
This switch is ideal for frequent load current switching and short-circuit current closing, and is widely used in 12kV power distribution systems for rural and urban grids, as well as other similar outdoor applications.

Key Technical Features

  • SF6 Gas Insulation & Arc Extinguishing: Uses 99.99% pure SF6 gas for reliable insulation and fast arc extinction, ensuring safe switching performance.
  • 100% Maintenance-Free Design: Fully sealed switch body prevents condensation, oxidation, and corrosion of primary circuit and mechanism components, eliminating the need for regular servicing.
  • Explosion-Proof Safety: Equipped with a pressure relief device that automatically releases internal pressure during faults, protecting personnel and the surrounding environment.
  • Misoperation Prevention: Local locking mechanism blocks remote or local switching during maintenance; intelligent models support remote monitoring for enhanced safety.
  • Low-Pressure Lockout: Triggers mechanical and electrical locking when SF6 pressure drops below safe levels, preventing unsafe operation.
  • Vacuum Arc Extinguishing & SF6 Insulation: Combines vacuum arc quenching with SF6 gas insulation in an oil-free design for superior performance.
  • Three-Phase Common Box Layout: Porcelain bushing cable connections, fully sealed mechanism, aviation-grade sockets, and full encapsulation technology ensure excellent weather resistance and anti-condensation performance.
  • Integrated Isolation & Asynchronous Linkage: Built-in isolation break and vacuum interrupter series linkage provide strong breaking capacity and high operational safety.
  • Non-Blocking Current Protection: Prevents the switch from opening during fault current conditions, avoiding equipment damage.
