S&C Loadbuster® Load Break Tool 5300R3

The Loadbuster tool is the original lightweight, easy-to-use portable load break tool for use with disconnects, cutouts, power fuses, and fuse limiters. It brings load-switching capability through 27 kV and 600 amperes nominal, 900 amperes maximum to your overhead distribution system. The Loadbuster tool cuts installation and operation costs. There’s no need for load interrupters on each device. Switching procedures are simplified too... minimizing the duration and scope of outages. This rugged, reliable device interrupts with no external arc, meeting OSHA requirements for opening circuits under load.
Features:

14.4/25 kV nominal, 27 kV maximum.
Interrupts with no external arc. Meets OSHA requirements for opening circuits under load.
Handles all live-switching duties — transformers, lines, cables, and capacitors.
Rugged, reliable. Loadbuster’s robust, low-maintenance design stands up to the most demanding use... up to 2000 operations between inspections.
Operation counter feature tracks tool use, helps determine maintenance needs.
Cuts installation and operation costs. No need for interrupters on each device... simplified switching procedures minimize duration and scope of outages.
Total factory support. Loadbuster and replacement parts available for immediate delivery.
S&C's Loadbuster Tools are manufactured in accordance with a quality system certified to ISO9001:2000.

Switching with Loadbuster When used with appropriately designed "hook-equipped" disconnects, cutouts, power fuses, fuse limiters, and pad-mounted gear, Loadbuster is suitable for these live-switching duties of single- or three-phase overhead distribution circuits through 25 kV and underground distribution circuits through 14.4 kV
Transformer switching The Loadbuster tool can switch transformer load currents up through 600 amperes nominal, 900 amperes maximum, as well as transformer-magnetizing currents associated with the applicable loads.
Line switching The Loadbuster tool may be used for load splitting (parallel or loop switching) and load dropping of currents up through 600 amperes nominal, 900 amperes maximum. It is also capable of line dropping (charging currents typical for distribution systems of these voltage ratings).
Cable switching The Loadbuster tool is suitable for load splitting (parallel or loop switching) and load dropping of currents up through 600 amperes nominal, 900 amperes maximum. It may also be used for cable dropping (charging currents typical for distribution systems of these voltage ratings).
Capacitor bank switching The Loadbuster tool can switch single capacitor banks to the extent reflected in the table in the image.
