Special Circuit Breakers: DS-206S and DS-416S

Table 1 gives the interrupting rating of DS-206S as
42,000 amperes at 600 volts AC. It is an improved model
of DS-206, which has an interrupting capacity of 30,000
amperes at 600 volts AC. Yet, the maximum continuous
current rating of 800 amperes is the same for both types.
Also, their parts are similar except for these differences:
1. DS-206S uses the three piece base of the DS-416
type, instead of the one piece molded base of the
DS-206.
2. DS-206S uses the DS-416 arc chute.
3. DS-206S main disconnects have 50% more fingers
than the DS-206.

4. DS-206S has twice as many main contacts and arms
as the DS-206.
5. The pole unit hinge joint of DS-206S is a forked con-
struction or a miniature version of the DS-416 hinge.
6. Fifty ampere sensors cannot be installed on
DS-206S; but they can be put on DS-206.
Similarly, the parts of DS-416S are almost identical to
those of DS-420. Their interrupting ratings are the same:
65,000 amperes at 480 volts AC and 50,000 amperes at
600 volts AC. But, the maximum continuous current rat-
ing of DS-420 is 2,000 amperes and for DS-416S it is
1600 amperes.
Compared to Type DS-416, DS-416S has higher inter-
rupting ratings, giving it improved operating flexibility (see
Table 1).
