Overview
The FKN12-12/FKRN12-12D indoor high-voltage puffer-type load switch is suitable for three-phase high-voltage switchgear of 12 kV and below, serving as control and protection for power equipment such as transformers, cables and overhead lines. The FKN12/FKRN12-12D load switch is especially suitable for terminal substations and prefabricated substations in urban and rural distribution networks. It is also applicable to the control and protection of ring main units and double radial supply units, and this load switch offers oil-free, maintenance-friendly operation. The FKN12-12 load switch provides a 4 s rated short-time withstand current of 20 kA, a rated short-circuit making current of 50 kA and a rated active load breaking current of 630 A.
