SOCOMEC Load Break Switches IEC For DC and Photovoltaic Applications From 160 to 1250 A INOSYS LBS

INOSYS LBS are multi-polar load break switches manual or with tripping function. They can be operated manually using the handle or remotely (via tripping coils) to disconnect part or all of the electrical installation.
They make and break under load conditions and provide safety isolation for any low voltage circuits up to 1500 VDC and suitable for emergency switching.

Advantages High- performance switching in a compact footprint

INOSYS LBS switches integrate a patented technology that offers breaking capacity of 500 VDC per pole and significant reductions in power losses. And all in a compact unit!

Safe operation: visible contact indication

• Reliable position indication and visible blades with perfect arc containment.
• ON, OFF and TRIP positions are stable: resistant to voltage fluctuations.
• The trip position provides complete disconnection and isolation.
• The opening and closing of the switch are fully independent from the speed of the operation.

Tripping function: flexible and robust

• No nuisance tripping.
• Shunt-trip or under voltage from 24 to 220 VDC and from 24 to 230 VAC.
• Wide operating temperature range: -25 to +70 °C (-15 to +160 °F).
• Fast disconnection (<50 ms) for rapid firefighter shutdown, compliant with installation standards.
• Compatible with virtually any Arc-Fault Detection System.

Easy to install

• Mechanism can be centred or left aligned to accommodate installation requirements.
• Wiring: a complete non polarization of the switch allows all possible type of wiring and connections.
• Integrated auxiliary contacts and tripping coil.

Modular solution for a flexible configuration

• Multi-circuit
Disconnect up to three circuits with one switch: a compact and cost effective solution for recombiner and inverter applications.
• Single or dual polarity switching
The same switch can be used for installation with either grounded or floating networks by choosing the wiring configuration.

Reliability and guaranteed safety combined with low maintenance costs are vital when selecting components for integration in electrical systems. With its proven switching technology and tripping function, INOSYS LBS can be used for performing safe maintenance in the installation as well as emergency breaking.

Advantages High-performance switching in a compact frame

INOSYS LBS switches integrate a patented technology that offers high switching capacity with optimum arc containment up to 1000 VAC - all within a compact device.

Safe operation

• Reliable position indication through visible contacts.
• The opening and closing of the switch is fully independent from the speed of operation, ensuring safe operation under all conditions.

Enhanced disconnection and isolation

• ON, OFF and TRIP positions are stable: resistant to voltage fluctuations and external environmental constraints.
• Guaranteed disconnection in both OFF & Trip positions.
• Padlocking in OFF position available directly on the switch and on the external handle.

Tripping function: flexible and robust

• Fully immune to external perturbation: no nuisance tripping.
• Shunt-trip or under voltage release from 24 to 220 VDC and from 24 to 230 VAC.
• Wide operating temperature range: -25 to +70°C (-15 to +160°F).
• Fast disconnection (<50 ms) emergency switching, compliant with installation standards.
• Compatible with virtually any protection relay.

Easy to install

• Mounting: back plate mounting either between poles or through use of the fixing pads.
• Free access to terminals for flexible wiring.
• Easy access witout tools to integrate auxiliary contacts and tripping coil (both located within the switch footprint).

Highly reliable solution

• High-performance and guaranteed safety: the contacts opening and closing speed is fully independent of the handle operation.
• High temperature withstand: no derating up to 60°C (140° F).
