What is the difference between a Vacuum Circuit Breaker and
a Load Break Switch?

Answer Posted / michael von zechlin

Both can be used to isolate a load.

Both can have protective relays associated with them
although load breaks usually are fused for quicker
instantaneous isolation times (At or less than 3 cycles)

Vacuum breakers usually are used for isolating at a
switchgear (specific equipment or portions of the
distribution system) They make or break their circuit under
a vacuum. Load breaks normally do this in the air.

Load breaks have heavy contacts which are designed to open
under full load repeatedly.

Vacuum breakers can have the same but are normally not
except for vacuum contactors.

I just purchased a 4 position cam switch to be used to operate a 3-speed blower motor. The motor is a 10 amp motor and has 3 wires that are used to control speed. The cam switch was rated at 660V 20 amps but when I received it, I noticed that it has AC-15 operational current rating (Ie) of 4/5 amps. If I am reading the label correctly. the 4/5 amps is related to 440v/220V (Ue). Other ratings are AC-3: 5.5A, AC2: 7.5A and AC-4: 1.5A. My questions are 1) Is it safe to use this switch with the motor I have 2) what is the difference between the 20 amp Ith ratting and the Ie operational ratings?
