47. 47 Problems Associated with Older Air Break Designs Mechanisms would seize up over time due to stiff bearings and corroded main contacts Load Break Heads seized up due to complex design Braided flexes and joints suffered corrosion Significant maintenance over the switches’ lifecycle

48. 48 New Features in RX Design Low friction, corrosion resistant bearing leading to low maintenance and improved reliability Laminated flexes with no corrosive effects. (Tested for 2,000 operations before single lamination broke) New simpler design of Arc Chute device for rapid arc extinction when load breaking New tungsten tipped contacts so that Fault Make Heads can be fitted as an option All key components now stainless steel for corrosion resistance
