The main difference is that air break switches lack a mechanism for suppression and load break switches do have them. They are both disconnect switches but have different uses.
Both are same...
Both are types of isolators of a power circuit. Load break switch is an isolator where circuit can be isolated on load. The quenching media could be air, oil or gas..... Air break switch is type isolator where isolation takes place in the air itself. (break contacts are not immersed in oil, gas ...) But whether these isolators can be opened on load or not can be said only by looking at the desgin data. Some isolators are designed to open and close on load.
An air-break link (ABL) switch is designed to interrupt normal load currents (but not fault currents). In order to do so, they usually incorporate some form of very simple arc-extinguishing feature.An isolator switch, on the other hand, is not designed to interrupt current, but to isolate equipment after that equipment has been disconnected (e.g. by opening a circuit breaker).
the switch yard consist of the buss, breakers and switches. where as when you add step up or step down transformers with or with out LTC'S (load tap changer).

A switch is a make - break device. Its function is a circuit is to make and break the current flow of the circuit that it is in. This action then starts and stops the load that is connected in the circuit.
TPN Load break switch: Is basically a main switch used in three phase system and know as Three pole neutral or Three phase neutral having four connectors for three phases and one neutral.

There are two important different parameters as far as the disconnection/connection of Electrical utilities is concerned.- Breaking capacity.- Making Capacity.In simple way the Load Break Switch used to cut off healthy circuits or to break / disconnect the load. As a precaution, normally the LBS / Isolator are to be switched on under no load, the connected load to be utilized after switching on the Isolator. This why it has no making capacity. Circuit Breakers are intended to operate under unnormal conditions in order to clear the fault & to isolate the defective circuits protecting its associated electrical equipment, therefore breaking and making capacities are considered as the most important criteria as far Circuit breaker are concerned.
