INDICATORS Understanding the Interrupter Indicators The interrupter indicators are located underneath the interrupter base. The indicators are not meaningful while the interrupter is being closed and charged. If the interrupter is “OPEN” and discharged, the indicator reads “OPEN.” See Figure 71. “OPEN”...
Page 54: Understanding The Gas-Pressure Gauge
INDICATORS Understanding the Gas-Pressure Gauge The temperature-compensated gas-pressure gauge is located underneath the interrupter base. It shows whether SF gas density is sufﬁ cient for interrupting faults at full rating. The gas-pressure gauge shows three zones: OK to operate: This is the white zone. If the gauge needle is in this zone, the interrupter is at normal gas density, and can be opened and closed.
Page 55 The pole-unit should be removed from service and replaced promptly. Contact your local S&C Sales Office. Do not operate the Mark VI Circuit-Switcher. NOTICE At temperatures below -31°F (-35°C), the indicator needle will be in the red zone due to the cold temperature.
