Abstract

This paper describes the indigenous development of a remotely operable load break switch (LBS), which is suitable for switching operations in low voltage distribution networks. The switch has been tested as per industry standards. The developed switch has been installed and commissioned in a 10 MVA distribution system of the campus of Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India. An improvement in the average power factor has been recorded after implementation of remote monitoring and control using the load break switch. Also, many indirect benefits have resulted, such as, simplification of maintenance work, customer satisfaction, and improvement in utility reputation to provide better services in the IIT Kanpur distribution system.
