Note, that this “making or breaking” of the electrical current is typically accomplished by someone with a “hot stick” from the local utility or a trained electrician. The two most common types of load break switches are the 2 position switch and the 4 position switch. The 2 Position Switch is exactly what it sounds like: on or off. That’s it! The 4 Position Switch, however, allows for a little more functionality. It’s used for a loop feed transformer. The four positions are as follows: Position 1 - A-side on and the transformer on (energized) Position 2 - B-side on and the transformer on Position 3 - A & B-side on and the transformer on Position 4 - A & B-side on with the transformer off (not energized) When the transformer is in Position 4 then it is just feeding through. The bushings are energized but the transformer itself is not. Hope you found this information helpful and if you get a chance check out our short 1 min video that explains all this too. |
