Description
RWK-381 line sectionalizing load break switch controller is a kind of switch which must cooperate with superior switch. It can’t cut off the fault current, it only trip when the line is low-voltage or no-current.
RWK-381 line sectionalizing load break switch controller adopts IT operation mode. When a fault happed, the controller will record the fault times. If the times come to the setting value, the controller will trip after the line is low-voltage or no-current.
The controlling box is made of stainless steel, the surface is dealt with painting, anticorrosion, can be used in outdoor environments.
It has charging circuit: It could take AC220V charging power supply from outside. If there is no power supply outside, it also could achieve opening/closing operation and all controller functions with battery. Besides that, it is set with anti-over discharge circuit for protecting the battery when there is no electricity of the power supply outside for a long time.

Q: What is line sectionalizing load break switch?
A:line sectionalizing load break switch is an important device used in power lines. Its main function is to segment the line according to certain rules. The advantage of this is that when a certain segment of the line fails, the segment switch can isolate the faulty segment from the normally functioning line.
Q: How does it determine the segments?
A: The segmentation is usually determined according to the load distribution, geographical layout and power supply reliability requirements of the line. For example, in the area where the load is more concentrated, a separate segment may be divided; Or by geographical area, such as a block or an industrial area.
Q: What is the significance of line sectionalizing load break switch for power system?
A: It can improve the reliability and flexibility of the power system. When a fault occurs, it can quickly isolate the fault, reduce the scope of power outage, so that power maintenance personnel can be more targeted to troubleshoot the fault, and other unaffected segments can continue to supply power normally, ensuring that

Why Regular Transformer Maintenance Matters: 5 Serious Consequences of Neglecting ItI. Allowable TemperatureWhen a transformer is in operation, its windings and iron core generate copper loss and iron loss. These losses are converted into heat energy, causing the temperature of the transformer's iron core and windings to rise. If the temperature exceeds the allowable value for a long time, the insulation will gradually lose its mechanical elasticity and age.The temperature of each part of the transformer during operation is different: the winding temperature is the highest, folRockwell09/12/2025 -
