EL-Tech Controls manufactures and supplies the 12 KV LBSF Panel in Surat for distribution transformer centres, HT consumers, industrial plants, townships, hospitals and commercial buildings. Every panel is built at our Ambad MIDC, Nashik works, where we have made MV switchgear since 1995.
12 KV LBSF Panel for Surat's Power Distribution
Surat is one of India's fastest growing cities, known for diamonds and textiles, with heavy industry at Hazira and large estates at Sachin and Pandesara GIDC. Our panels replace the open DP structure with a safe, compact and maintenance-free switch-fuse unit, which saves space, improves safety for operators and the public, and cuts maintenance.
In Surat, power is distributed by Torrent Power and DGVCL. Our panels are approved by MSEDCL (C.E. Distribution), PWD (C.E. Electricals) and Garrison Engineers (MES), and are type-tested at ERDA, Baroda. Share your utility or consultant specification and we will confirm compliance before manufacturing. Each panel is built to suit the transformer rating and site layout, for indoor or outdoor use.
Product Details
A 12 KV LBSF (Load Break Switch Fuse) panel is a fully enclosed switching and protection unit for 11 KV distribution transformers. The non-coupled type replaces existing or new Double Pole (DP) structures at any distribution transformer centre.
Material and Construction
- Frame made of heavy steel sheet that protects all mechanical parts from dust, insects and rain.
- Simple, compact and tested construction that does not age or deteriorate during long periods of inactivity.
- Epoxy resin supporting insulators that withstand the electrodynamic stresses guaranteed by the switch.
- 100% non-porous powder coating with provision for cable entry.
Safety Mechanisms
- Independent quick break and make operating mechanism, with springs always in the 'off' position.
- Load break switch with fully interlocked earthing blades.
- Interlock between LBS and door: the door cannot open while the LBS is engaged.
- Interlock between front door and LBS: the LBS cannot be engaged while the front door is open.
- Interlock between LBS and earth switch: the earth switch disconnects first, and only then does the LBS engage.
- Blowing of a single HRC fuse trips the LBS immediately to prevent single phasing.
Performance
- The arc is extinguished quickly by self-generated air through three piston cylinders, one per pole, mounted in axis with the insulators.
- The volume of blown air and the contact separation speed ensure reliable switching even in harsh conditions.
