MEDIUM VOLTAGE LOAD BREAK / LOAD INTERRUPTOR SWITCHES
Models SE5-5, SE9-1, SE100S
General Electric

GENERAL ELECTRIC, in the 1950’s developed its first line of interrupter switches designated SE5-5. GENERAL ELECTRIC continued to develop and build load interrupter switches into the 1990’s with the SE9-1 AND SE100S DESIGNS.

In the 1990’s GENERAL ELECTRIC transferred the manufacture of its Load Break Switches to the POWERCON Company in Maryland.

While the design of the earlier GENERAL ELECTRIC load break switches was characterized by a non-stored energy closing mechanism, the SE100S design was characterized by stored energy closing mechanisms with mechanical and/or electrical operators.

The Load interrupter switches were available in voltages ranging from 5000 volts through 15000 volts. Interrupting current availability of the switches ranged from 600 to 1200 amp.

Momentary ratings were available as high as 61,000 amps.

The GENERAL ELECTRIC switches have been obsoleted by the original manufacturer.

All GENERAL ELECTRIC load interrupter switches and switch enclosures are available from Satin International and Satin American.

GENERAL ELECTRIC also developed a line of High Voltage Fuses to be used in conjunction with its load break switches. These fuses were designated
EJ1 and EJO-1.

All replacement parts for GENERAL ELECTRIC load break switches and high voltage fuses are available from SATIN INTERNATIONAL and SATIN AMERICAN. These include:

  - Main Stationary and Movable Contact Assemblies,
  - Arcing Stationary and Movable Contact assemblies,
  - Whipper blades,
  - Archutes, Pushrods,
  - Electrical operators, Manual Operators,
  - High Voltage Fuses, Fuse Holders
  - Key Interlock assemblies
