Vertical break switches are supplied at ratings from 15.5 kV to 800 kV. This switch is also supplied in a “V” insulator configuration. The switch is a three-insulator design and incorporates art open and close blade action on a single pivot point. The blade is actuated through a mechanical linkage that is driven by a rotating insulator. When the switch blade is in thc open position the blade is positioned above the supporting insulators. The open switch blade can he exposed to wind load forces that would tend to force the blade toward the closed position. Wind loads can also force the blade to the side such that it would misalign the blade with the jaw during closing. A tical load applied in the closing direction is shown in Figure 1. Figure 2. Figure 3 and Figure 4.
3.2.2 Double-end break switches
Double-end break switches are supplied at ratings from 15.5 kV to 800 kV. The switch is a three-insulator design and incorporates an open and close blade action at the center insulator. The blade is actuated
through a mechanical linkage that is driven by the center insulator. When the blade is in the open position the blade remains in a position essentially perpendicular to the switch base. The etkcts of any wind load will apply an equal and opposite load on the open switch blade resulting in little or no force tending to close it.
3.2.3 Center break switches
Center break switches are supplied at ratings from 15.5 kV to 362 kV. This switch is also supplied in a insulator conilguralion. The switch is a two-insulator design and incorporates an open and close blade
action at both insulators. The blades break at the midpoint between the two insulators with both insulators being rotated by the switch drive linkage. When the blades are in the open position the blades remain in a position perpendicular to the switch base. The effects of any wind load will apply equal and opposite
loading on the open switch blade with little or no force tending to close them.
3.2.4 Side break switches
Side break switches are supplied at ratings from 15.5 kV to 245 kV. The switch is a two-insulator design and incorporates an Open and close blade action at one insulator. The blade is actuated through a mechanical linkage that is driven by a rotating insulator. ‘hen the blade is in the open position the blade remains in a position perpendicular to the switch base. The open switch blade can be exposed to wind load forces that would tend to force the blade toward the closed position.IEEE C37.30.2 pdf download.
