FN21-12D/T630-20, FN21-12DR/T125-31.5 Vacuum Load Switch | Three-phase AC 12kV Distribution System Protection Device
Overview
FN21-12D/T630-20 high voltage vacuum load switch and FN21-12DR/T125-31.5 combination apparatus are used in three-phase AC 12kV, 50Hz distribution systems. They feature compact structure, small size, light weight, long life, strong making and breaking capacity, safety and reliability. When used with fuses (referred to as combination apparatus), they can replace more expensive circuit breakers, and are simple to operate and maintain. FN21-12D/T630-20, FN21-12DR/T125-31.5 Vacuum Load Switch adopts vacuum interrupter with high voltage current-limiting fuse protection, combining the economy of load switches and the breaking capacity of circuit breakers, making it the preferred combination apparatus for 12kV indoor distribution.

Structural Features, Performance (and Outline Installation Dimensions, see figure)
FN21-12 load switch and combination apparatus mainly consist of frame, disconnecting switch (or fuse acting as disconnecting switch), vacuum interrupter, earthing switch, operating mechanism, etc. This product features compact structure, small size, long life, strong making and breaking capacity, and simple operation and maintenance. The vacuum switch is equipped with an electric operating mechanism and an energy storage spring, enabling fast opening and closing operation. The disconnecting switch, vacuum switch, and earthing switch are interlocked to prevent misoperation.
