Description
Indoor high-voltage g3 load-break switches adopt g3 gas (an eco-friendly alternative to sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)) as the arc-extinguishing and insulating medium, integrating three-position contacts for closing, opening, and earthing. They feature compact size, easy installation and operation, and strong environmental adaptability.
Indoor high-voltage g3 load-break switches and g3 load-break switch-fuse combinations can protect and control power supply and substation equipment, and are particularly suitable for ring main units, cable branch cabinets, and distribution switching substations.
This product complies with IEC international standards and Rockwill g3 gas specifications, with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) less than 1% of that of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6).
Key Benefits
- Performance: Identical rated parameters, equipment footprint, and operating temperature range as SF6.
- Environment: GWP over 99% lower than SF6.
- Safety: Non-toxic, same safety class as SF6, compliant with REACH regulation.
- Operation: Compatible with existing gas handling carts and standard high-voltage (HV) tools.
