ABOUT ULUSOY ELECTRIC

Founded in 1985 as an engineering company to manufacture the equipments for transmission and distribution of power. Ulusoy Electric
has become one of the significant player of the global electromechanical industry by offering ideal solutions for the medium voltage
electricity distribution networks and industrial facilities. Ulusoy Electric has completed its structure within national market and begun
to serve the international market. Presently, Ulusoy Electric has signature in engineering projects all over the world in consequence of
big success in national and international platform, large and high quality product range, sectoral innovation and qualified service men-
tality. For great projects, production capacity and industrial success, Ulusoy Electric ranked 393 in the list of “The First 500 Biggest
Industrial Companies” which is announced annually by İstanbul Chamber of Industry. By the year 2014, Ulusoy Electric has 37 % of
market share in Turkey. By exporting more than 50 countries, Ulusoy Electric ranked 205 in the list of “Top 1000 Exporting Companies
in Turkey” in 2014 announced by Turkish Exporters Assembly. By the end of year 2013, Ulusoy Electric has its 57 % of sales by export.
Company carries out its activities in its main factory located in Ankara Organized Industrial Zone equipped with state-of-art machineries
and equipments with 26.000 m2 indoor workplaces in 30.000 m2 open space. Ulusoy Electric activated its new factory by the first
quarter of 2015 in Ankara Temelli Organized Industrial Zone with total area of 53.000 m2 consists of 30.000 m2 indoor workplaces.
1.LBS SERIES - LOAD BREAK SWITCH
The Load Break Switches are metal enclosed modular switchgears.
Ulusoy LBS’s are suitable for almost all metal enclosed switchgear
designs. Unlike other load break switches available in the market,
Ulusoy LBS works in vertical axis similar to circuit breaker. The active
sections of the Load Break Switch are present in SF6 gas medium
closed with sealed pressure system inside the epoxy resin frame. During
its normal operation lifespan of 20 years, it does not require any gas
refill or any maintenance. LBS have three poles and two positions. The
earthing switch which quickly closes when a short circuit is occured
in SF6 gas environment and inside a resin frame. This feature of the
load break switch offers an additional safety feature for the operating
staff. Because of the mechanical and electrical interlocking systems
between the Load Break Switch and the earthing switch, possibility of
a wrong-maneuver is prevented by these interlocking systems. Load
Break Switch can open and close under the load. Because the coppers
which are inside of the contacts are thick, so this feature increases
the current carrying capacity. Therefore Load Break Switch’s contacts
are durable than disconnector switch’s contacts. The only difference
between Load Break Switch and Disconnector Switch is the contact’s
type. LBS can close only when the cubicle door is closed and earthing
switch is open. Upon request Ulusoy’s metal enclosed switchgear
metal parts design’s would be available in CAD format.

The circuit breaker consist of three pieces of independent poles which
contains the fixed and moving contacts where the arc extinguishing
process realizes and filled with SF6 gas by impermeability-guaranteed
sealed system. Breaker mechanism works on the principle of releasing
the stored energy of a spring. The mechanism can be operated
motorized or manually by means of the leverage which comes with the
breakers. The circuit breaker with re-closing feature offers the ability to
make various mechanical and electrical interlocks by use of the switch
disconnecting or load break switch.

RVU series 12-24 kV vacuum circuit breaker designed by Ulusoy
Electric is a three-phase AC indoor breaker with 12-24 kV rated voltage
suitable for air insulated switchgear and can be applied in controlling
and protecting electrical equipment in industrial and mineral
enterprises, power plants and substations. Operation mechanism
installed laterally. The product conforms to the IEC 62271-100
standard. Short circuit type tests are performed in KEMA High Power
Laboratory in the Netherlands. RVU series provide safe and reliable
performance. The embedded poles of RVU’s have the technique of
ventilation and convection. Besides the vacuum interrupter has low
resistance and high number of short circuit breaking. All of that reduce
the power consumption and the temperature rising due to the longtime
running of circuit breaker.
