GENERAL INFORMATION

• They do not interrupt fault current

• They do not interrupt fault current

• They operate while the source circuit breaker is open

• They do not interrupt fault current

• They operate while the source circuit breaker is open

• They are load break switches

• They do not interrupt fault current

• They operate while the source circuit breaker is open

• They are load break switches

• They use voltage and current sensing to determine if a fault is present

• They use local intelligence preprogrammed into the control to determine when to operate
