Live Tank Circuit Breakers

Type LTB 245 E1

World’s most versatile transmission

breaker
LTB E is suitable for breaking currents up to 50 kA, fast
interruption (2 cycles) for maximum power system stability. It
is configurable for all applications and environments.

Why ABB?
– Local and global ABB industry and application support
– High current switching capability from 0 up to 50 kA
– Lowest failure rate, one third of Cigré average according
report on high-voltage circuit breakers reliability, (Cigré
group A3.06 October 2012)
– Global service organization, local everywhere
– Options available for polymeric insulators, two pole circuit
breaker for special requirements like the railways in India

Operating Mechanism MSD

– Low operating energy
– Less stress on components gives high reliability
– Highly reliable and optimized latch system
– Low scatter in the operating time enables circuit breaker
for synchronous switching application
– Easy to install - adjustment free installation
– The drive is attached directly to the mechanism housing
– The high degree of reliability and minimal maintenance
– Control is integrated in drive operating mechanism
itself resulting reduced wiring and lesser erection and
commissioning time.

Composite insulators with silicone sheds

The use of composite insulators increase safety for personnel
and other substation equipment. It has a low weight and is
easy to transport. At the same time it provides an increased
seismic performance.
Non brittle material with reduced risk of handling damages
The hydrophobicicty makes water on the insulator surface
break down in to drops which means
– Leekage current control along the insulator surface
– Maintenance free and outstanding pollution performance
HTV silicone rubber is ultraviolet (UV) and ozone resistant
which helps it to withstand ageing
