FOR LIFE FOR LIFE Eaton meets or exceeds all applicable industry standards relating to product safety in its Cooper Power™ series products. We actively promote safe practices in the use and maintenance of our products through our service literature, instructional training programs, and the continuous efforts of all Eaton employees involved in product design, manufacture, marketing, and service.
For additional information, contact your Eaton representative. Acceptance and initial inspection Each Padmount VisoVac is in good condition when accepted Figure 1 . Lifting point example #1 by the carrier for shipment. Upon receipt, inspect the shipping container/crate for signs of damage.
Sym interrupting rating, kA Before energizing the VisoVac assembly, ensure that: Fault Close (asym pk.) 1 . The VisoVac assembly is secured on a true and level 5s withstand in ground position, kA surface . 0.2 withstand in ground position, kA 2 .
This is also known as Eaton’s Control front/Cable rear design (see Figure 4). Eaton also offers designs with the bushings and breaker controls on the same side (see Figure 5). This style switchgear can be provided in double- sided or single-sided layout designs.
15kV Class Padmount VisoVac™ For information about Eaton VCP-T vacuum circuit breaker, Visible isolation please use the following link here: https://www.eaton. A three-pole, group-operated, non-load break, air insulated com/us/en-us/catalog/electrical-circuit-protection/mv-vcp-t- isolation switch is located internal to the enclosure. This vacuum-circuit-breakers.resources.html. feature also includes a viewing window to confirm a physical disconnect between the source and load for that particular switch or VFI way only.
Accessories Figure 14 . Visible isolation and grounding mechanism indicator The Padmount VisoVac switchgear is customized to order. Therefore, each style of switchgear may be unique in how it operates, the application it is used in, the accessories it may contain, and the manufacturer of those accessories.

15kV Class Padmount VisoVac™ Sequence of operations – V1 Style Switchgear V1 style padmount switchgear only comes with vacuum interruption. VFI ways and switch ways can only be opened and closed. Electrical interconnections vary depending on the application. In this position, the vacuum interrupters are CLOSED. This Model 9-V1example assumes all ways are energized and SW-1 is the only source way.
15kV Class Padmount VisoVac™ Sequence of operations – V3 Style Switchgear Source way operation example V3 style padmount switchgear comes with vacuum interruption, a visible isolation switch and visible grounding position. VFI ways and switch ways can only be opened and closed. Electrical interconnections vary depending on the application.

15kV Class Padmount VisoVac™ In this position the vacuum interrupter and the visible isolation rods are OPEN. The grounding position is OPEN and the visible isolation between the internal load bus and the cable is achieved. See Figure 26. WARNING The ground rods will ground the cables connected to the bushings on each associated way .
15kV Class Padmount VisoVac™ Sequence of operations – V3 Style Switchgear Load way operation example The following sequence of operations shows the energized and de-energized state of the gear as each operation is completed. Note the example assumes switchgear is fed from a single source. Source way (SW-1) not shown is CLOSED. All other ways on the gear (VFI-1+) are considered VFI load ways and are shown.

15kV Class Padmount VisoVac™ In this position, the load way vacuum interrupters and visible isolation rods are OPEN. The grounding position is OPEN. This example assumes all load ways (VFI-1) are de-energized and there are no load side sources. The source way (SW-1) is closed.
“ISOLATED (OPEN)” WARNING The VisoVac is now in the isolated (OPEN) position . The Key lock located on vacuum ground rods will ground the cables connected to the interrupter (See Figure 10) bushings on each associated way .
It is recommended not to remove any covers from the Ground mechanism to upstream device VisoVac interrupter while the assembly is in service. If any fasteners are loosened, the quality of the enclosure will be It is imperative that there be no voltage present on compromised.
