Load Break Switch

A load break switch is a device used in electrical systems to safely interrupt the flow of electricity through a circuit, allowing maintenance or repairs without shutting down the entire system. It is designed to handle the current load of electrical equipment and can be operated under normal conditions to disconnect or connect power. Unlike simple disconnect switches, load break switches can interrupt live currents, providing a safer and more controlled way to manage electrical circuits. They are essential in distribution networks, ensuring safety, reliability, and efficient control of electrical power.
