WARNING
DO NOT MANUALLY
PROTECTOR TO
ENERGIZED TRANSFORMER TO AN
ENERGIZED NETWORK SYSTEM.
The operating handle has three positions: OPEN,
AUTO and CLOSE as indicated on the
nameplate located directly beside the handle.
The handle is held captive in the OPEN and
AUTO position by means of the detent cam, but
is spring returned from the CLOSE position.
External padlock provisions are available in the
AUTO and OPEN modes. It is recommended
that the operator should not normally attempt to
place the Network Protector into service by
utilizing the external handle CLOSE mode. The
protector should be placed in the AUTO position
to permit the MPC series relay to control the
breaker actions. An exception to this
recommendation would be in the initial closing
of a Network Protector into a known bus which
lacks connect ed load to correctly operat e the
MPC series relay. For this type of operation,
with the housing door of the protector securely
closed, move and hold the external handle to the
CLOSE position. After the protector closes
move the handle to the AUTO position. Do not
drop handle from the close position, this action
could result in the Network Protector opening
and a repeat close operation would be necessary.
