All overhead power transmission lines require an Air Break Switch (ABS) primarily used for on/off switching of a specific section of overhead line or transformer from the main distribution line.
This critical component enables isolation of a section of the overhead wire without disrupting the remaining power transmission system, ensuring safety and maintenance efficiency .
The Air Break Switch (ABS) is a crucial component in all overhead power transmission lines , primarily used to connect or disconnect (on/off switching) specific sections of overhead lines and transformers from the main distribution network.
This feature enables users to isolate a faulty segment of the wire without disrupting the remaining power transmission system , making the isolation process simple, reliable, and effective for maintenance and protection.
Air Break Switches (ABS) – Overhead Line Isolation & Sectionalizing
Air Break Switches are essential for overhead transmission and distribution networks. They provide on/off switching and sectionalizing to isolate specific line segments or transformers without interrupting the wider system supporting fast fault clearance, safe maintenance and operational flexibility.
We design and supply gang-operated triple-pole ABS for outdoor applications, suitable for switching transformers, overhead lines and cables on distribution systems.
Air Break Switch Disconnectors enable isolation of a defined overhead line section through a sequence of switching operations without disrupting the rest of the network.
Standard designs are triple-pole, gang-operated for synchronized phase operation in outdoor environments.
Available as single-pole and gang-operated three-pole configurations to match system design and operating practice.
Configurable to suit network topology and available structure types.
Rated for medium-voltage distribution systems with ample current capacity for feeder and transformer switching.
Built for durability and dielectric performance in outdoor conditions.
Used wherever switching or isolation of MV circuits is required.
Improve safety, reliability and maintainability of the network.

We review network specifications, site conditions, and SLDs to define suitable ABS/LBS configuration, ratings, mounting arrangement, and required accessories
ABS/LBS units are designed and manufactured using certified materials, with rigorous quality assurance checks conducted throughout all production stages.
Each unit undergoes mechanical and electrical FAT, including operational checks, insulation verification, alignment inspection, ensuring compliance before dispatch.
Equipment is securely packaged and delivered with complete documentation, ensuring safe transportation, minimal transit risk, and timely site delivery.
Technical guidance supports correct installation, followed by SAT to verify mechanical operation, alignment, and integrity of connections onsite.
Final commissioning confirms correct installation, safe mechanical operation, and controlled energization of the Air Break Switch within the network.
