Maintenance of VCB, SF6 & LBS

SPKN India has a skilled and experienced technical team dedicated to the maintenance of High Voltage (HV) and Extra High Voltage (EHV) equipment, including Load Break Switches (LBS), Vacuum Circuit Breakers (VCB), and SF6 Circuit Breakers, covering voltage ranges from 11kV to 220kV. We follow standardized testing methods and maintenance procedures to ensure consistent reliability and long-term performance of all high-voltage systems.

The most effective and basic maintenance step is visual inspection. This process identifies cracks, dirt, or damage across components such as insulators, moulded supports, and pole units. Similar verification is performed on control wiring and terminals. Visual checks also help remove debris or dust from operating mechanisms. Additionally, all fasteners are tightened, and functional tests of mechanical parts are conducted to ensure smooth and reliable operation.

 

About VCB, SF6 & LBS Maintenance

Comprehensive maintenance of Vacuum Circuit Breakers, SF6 Circuit Breakers, and Load Break Switches ensuring reliable and safe substation operations.

Maintenance of VCB Includes:
  • Cleaning Vacuum Circuit Breaker using CRC-226.
  • Removal of old grease and reapplication of recommended grease.
  • Verification of SIC Contacts condition.
  • Examination of jaw alignment and condition.
  • Hardware inspection and tightening.
  • Verification of pole alignment and closure.
  • Breaker trip detection and push button check.
  • Inspection between side plate and hylam sheet.
  • Motor performance testing during EDO condition.
  • Auxiliary connectors continuity and changeover check.
  • Insulation Resistance (IR) testing between phases and earth (open & closed condition).
  • Replacement of VCB breaker spare parts.
  • Vacuum Interrupter Integrity Test, Mechanism Check, Lubrication, and Tripping Operation.
SF6 Circuit Breaker Maintenance:
  • Leak detection using SF6 gas leakage detectors.
  • Inspection of gradient capacitors for oil leakage.
  • Dew point testing every 3–4 years with hygrometer.
  • Replacement of faulty SF6 breaker poles.
Load Break Switch (LBS) Maintenance:
  • Maintenance of both on-load and off-load LBS (11kV, 22kV, 33kV).
  • Inspection of spring mechanism and recharging.
  • Cleaning, greasing, and replacement of defective parts.
  • Mechanical testing and recharging as per manufacturer guidelines.
