Yaskawa's SF6 load break switches are safer to operate than vacuum and other competitive types because the gas pressure is continuously monitored by a pressure switch and is mechanically and electrically interlocked if pressure is lowered. Highest quality porcelain bushings are used for longer and more reliable insulation performance, thus making the Yaskawa switch ideal for use in hostile and dusty environments such as mines, heavy salt-ridden coastal areas, and dense tropical areas.
Yaskawa furnishes the load break switch in three application configurations.
