Live tank circuit breaker LTB 72.5 - 420 kV World's most versatile circuit breaker
LTB is suitable for breaking currents upto 50 kA, fast interruption for maximum power system stability. It is configurable for most applications and environments.
Design features LTB is a high-performance circuit breaker with high breaking current and excellent current-carrying design. LTB D is designed for a maximum breaking current of up to 40 kA at rated voltages from 72.5 kV up to 170 kV, continuous current 3150 A. LTB E is designed for a maximum breaking current of up to 50 kA at rated voltages from 72.5 kV up to 420 kV, continuous current 4000 A. LTB is available for single- or three-pole operation. For circuit breakers with one breaking element per pole, both modes of operation are possible. For two-chamber circuit breakers only single-pole operation applies. Applications LTB is suitable for most applications and proven in extreme locations including deserts, the tropics and cold climateswithstanding natural disasters from hurricanes to major earthquakes. High altitude applications High seismic requirement applications Line, transformer, reactor and capacitor switching Low frequency railway applications Connecting renewable power to the grid
Controlled switching by SwitchsyncTM The single-pole operated live tank circuit breakers supplied by ABB are particularly well suited for controlled switching due to their good stability in regards to mechanical operating time and dynamic dielectric behavior. Controlled switching is used for elimination of harmful electrical transients upon planned switching of mainly capacitor banks, shunt reactors and power transformers. The method is also gaining acceptance for reenergizing of EHV transmission lines, and replacing traditional pre-insertion resistors. Reliable operating mechanism For many years, ABB has used operating mechanisms with energy mechanically stored in springs. This solution offers considerable advantages in that the energy in the tensioned springs is always available. BLK is used for: LTB D1/B 72.5 - 170 kV LTB E 72.5 - 245 kV singe-pole operation FSA1 is used for: LTB D1/B 72.5 - 170 kV BLG is used for: LTB E 72.5 - 245 kV three-pole operation LTB E 420 kV single-pole operation MSD is used for: LTB D1/B 72.5 - 170 kV LTB E 72.5 - 245 kV single pole operation
