5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the service life of the SF6 gas? How to know when refilling is needed?
A: SF6 gas lasts about 20 years under normal conditions. The device has a gas leakage detection interface; refill is needed if pressure drops below the threshold.
Q2: Can the FLN36-24D be used outdoors?
A: No. It is designed for indoor installation only. For outdoor applications, choose our FLW series with IP54+ protection.
Q3: Is professional training required for operation?
A: Basic electrical operation training is recommended. Follow the operation manual and interlocking sequence to ensure safety.
Q4: What optional accessories are available?
A: Shunt trip coil, overcurrent release, auxiliary switch, and pressure gauge to enhance monitoring and remote control.
Q5: How does FLN36-24D differ from a circuit breaker?
A: Load switches cannot interrupt short-circuit currents; circuit breakers can. FLN36-24D is used for load switching, isolation, and grounding.
Q6: What after-sales support is provided?
A: 12-month warranty after installation (or 18 months from shipment). Technical support, spare parts, and on-site commissioning for large projects are available.
Q7: What routine maintenance is recommended?
A: Annual inspections, gas checks, and visual inspections for mechanical wear, contact condition, and enclosure integrity.
Q8: Can this unit be integrated into RMU or compact substations?
A: Yes. It is suitable for ring main units and prefabricated substations requiring reliable indoor 24kV switching.
Q9: What are common failure modes and how are they detected?
A: Gas leaks, contact wear, and mechanical faults. Early detection via pressure monitoring, inspection, and routine testing.
Q10: Are spare parts available?
A: Yes. Spare and wear parts (contacts, springs, seals) are available. Provide model and serial number when ordering.
