2.4 LOAD BREAK SWITCHES
2.4.1 TYPE
LBS shall be in accordance with MS IEC 62271-102.
Each LBS shall be of triple pole, gang operated with quick break contacts housed
in a sealed module filled with sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) gas. It shall be provided
with integral feeder earthing equipment without the use of loose accessories.
2.4.2 OPERATING MECHANISM
Each LBS shall be fitted with a direct manually operated mechanism having three
operating positions ÒN', ÒFF' and ÈARTH'. Inadvertent operation from ÒN'
direct to ÈARTH' or vice versa shall be prevented by a manually operated gate
type mechanical interlocking arrangement of a foolproof design. The interlocks may
operate either in conjunction with the re-location of single operating handle or with
two separate operating handles.
It shall possible to lock the operating mechanism in any of the three positions when
the contacts have fully homed, and also independently lock off the ÒN' and
ÈARTH' positions. The position ÒN', ÒFF' and ÈARTH' of the switch shall be
clearly indicated such that the direction of movement of the operating handle from
one position to another is readily apparent.
The switch mechanism shall give a quick make and quick break operation to all
positions by the use of one set of springs. The speeds of make and break shall be
independent of the rate of movement of the operating handle and the operator's
strength and skill. In addition, the operating handle shall have an anti-reflex feature
to ensure an inherent delay between the closing and re-opening of either the main
load break switch or the earthing switch.

2.4.3 TESTING FACILITIES
Each LBS shall be provided with facilities for carrying out applied high voltage tests
and injected current tests on the circuit connected to the earth. These may be
affected by the insertion of a 3 phase testing device when the switch is in ÈARTH'
position, to become effective only when the main contacts are in the ÒFF'
positions. Alternatively these may take the form of a 3 phase built in test/earth
bushing terminals enclosed within a cover which shall be fully interlocked with the
operating handle to prevent access until the switch is in the ÈARTH' position. A
full complement of foolproof mechanical interlocking shall be provided to prevent
the following operations:

in any other then ÈARTH' position.
(b) The Testing device being inserted or withdrawn when the switch is in
any other than ÈARTH' position.
(c) The movement of the switch to the ÒN' position when the testing
access is open, whether or not the testing device has been
inserted.
(d) The movement of the switch away from the ÈARTH' position, in cases
where testing entails the removal of an earth connection from built in
test/earth bushing, until the earth connection is restored.
The testing facilities shall provide for the attachment of test connection external to
the switch for applied voltage and injected current tests. The test connection shall
be capable of withstanding 25 kV d.c. to earth for 15 minutes and capable of
carrying 630 A continuously.
One set of 3 phase testing device suitable for use with the type of LBS offered
under this Tender shall be provided by the Electrical Contractor whether or not this
item is separately itemized in the Bill of Quantities of the Tender Document.

CT shall be provided to control the tripping of the circuit breaker.
2.5.2 OPERATING MECHANISM
The standard unit shall use vacuum bottles as interrupters of the currents. The
circuit breaker main circuit is connected in series with a three-position
disconnector-earthing switch, which has no interrupting capacity. The operation
between circuit breaker and disconnector-earthing is interlocked. All mechanisms
shall be situated in the mechanism compartment behind the front covers outside
the SF6-tank. The mechanism for the switch and the earthing switch is operating
both switches via one common shaft. The mechanism for the circuit breaker and
disconnector-earthing switch is operating the circuit breaker and the disconnector-
earthing switch via to separate shafts. The mechanism for the circuit breaker has
stored spring energy and provides independent manual operation for closing and
opening of the circuit breaker. The mechanism has a relay with related CT’s and/or
remote tripping device.
2.5.3 TESTING FACILITIES
Each circuit breaker shall be provided with facilities for carrying out applied high
voltage tests and injected current tests on the circuit connected to the earth.
These may be affected by the insertion of a 3 phase testing device when the
switch is in ÈARTH' position, to become effective only when the main contacts
are in the ÒFF' positions.
