Vacuum Tube Replacement

Replacement interru pters are f u rn i sh ed as a complete assem­
bly. They have been completely tested and d i electrically and
mechanically conditioned . The i nterrupters, when i n stal led , d o
n o t req u i re t h a t t h e y be operated no-load a s e t numbe r of times
or voltage tested to condition the contacts
It i s recommended t h at one interru pter be removed and re­
placed completely rather than removing two o r more interru pt­
ers at a time. The fol l owing proced u re in check list format
desc ribes the p roced u re tor removing and replacing a vac­
uum i nterrupter. Components may be i dentified by reference
to fig u re

isolated from all p rimary and control power sou rces
and all stored energ y d i scharged by trippi n g , clos­
ing , and tripping the breake r b y hand . D i scharg e any
static charge by g rounding al l and center metal sec­
tions of t h e vacuum interru pter. Caref u l l y remove ex­
terior and interphase barriers.
