Global Load Break Switch Market Definition

A load break switch refers to a disconnect switch whose function is to form or break the electrical connection at certain specified levels of current. A load break switch is usually used for medium voltage level systems for switching and protection. In simpler terms, a load break switch is meant to chop off the healthy circuits or to disconnect the load just in case of any faults or for maintenance purposes. As a security measure, load break switches are turned on under no-load conditions. Hence, it’s no making capacity, unlike the breaker which is meant to work under abnormal conditions such as overcurrent or transients, to clear the fault and isolate the electrical system and the connected load.

In some cases, load break switches are often furnished with additional equipment to supply a limited load switching capability. Additionally, an air gap switch is often modified by connecting them with a series interrupter for creating them capable of operating at high voltage and current levels. The series interrupters significantly increase the load brake capabilities of the disconnect switch and hence, it can be used to switch load or fault currents of the associated equipment.

Global Load Break Switch Market Overview

The market is driven by factors such as the refurbishment of aging electrical infrastructure and increasing investment within the power distribution sector. The growing renewable-based power generation is predicted to spice up the demand for load break switches. The emerging markets in the Asia Pacific present a great opportunity for the load break switch market due to significant government initiatives to promote renewable energy generation and refurbishment of the aging electrical infrastructure.

The growth of the Load Break Switch market is often attributed to the growing demand for compact load break switches for low and medium voltage applications. Growing industrialization and increasing investments in infrastructure and electrification developments across the world have spurred the demand for load switches. Load break switches are increasingly being used to cut off power in electrical equipment during repairs, maintenance, and emergency shutdowns. As a result, the growth of the Load Break Switch market is likely to grow at an impressive pace in the upcoming years.

Global Load Break Switch MarketSegmentation Analysis

The Global Load Break Switch Market is Segmented on the basis of Type, Installation, And Geography.

Load Break Switch Market, By Type

• Gas-Insulated• Vacuum• Air-Insulated• Oil-Immersed

Based on Type, the market is bifurcated into Gas-Insulated, Vacuum, Air-Insulated, and Oil-Immersed. The gas-insulated segment is estimated to lead the load brake switch. It is also projected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period due to the features such as easy installation, long life cycle, and high electrical & mechanical endurance. In the Asia Pacific, the major demand for gas-insulated load break switches is from electric utilities. This would boost the overall gas-insulated market.

Load Break Switch Market, By Installation

• Outdoor• Indoor

Based on Installation, the market is bifurcated into Outdoor and Indoor. Based on the installation, the outdoor segment accounted for the largest market size. Outdoor switches also can be deployed with outdoor distribution transformers rating up to 36 kV. These switches accompany the flexible installation and mounting configurations, which include pole top, mid-pole horizontal, and mid-pole vertical. These factors are expected to drive the outdoor segment of the load break switch, by the installation.

Load Break Switch Market, By Geography

• North America• Europe• Asia Pacific• Rest of the World

On the basis of regional analysis, the Global Load Break Switch Market is classified into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the world. The market in the Asia Pacific is expected to lead the global load break switch market. The market size during this region is often attributed to the increasing specialization in the facility distribution sector, of which load brake switch may be a part.
