Page 11: Summary & Introduction
Summary & Introduction Introduction The EV is a three insulator, vertical break switch that is opened and closed by rotation of the inside, hinge, insulator. The EV can be used for any conventional air break switch application, including disconnecting and sectionalizing lines and isolating or by-passing equipment. Upright mounted EV’s are equipped with arcing horns to protect the jaw contacts from pitting or metal... -

Page 14: Receiving, Handling, & Storage
Storage All components of the EV vertical break disconnect switch are suitable for outdoor use and do not have any special storage requirements. If a motor operator is furnished be sure to connect the heater circuit, using the provided external wiring, while the unit is in storage. Discard the wiring upon installation. -
Page 15: Installation & Adjustment Procedures
Page 5 of 19 Installation & Adjustment Procedures Installation & Adjustment Procedures Assembly 1. Preferred Switch Assembly Method 1.1. When convenient, but before opening the switch, screw the corona ball into the blade tip securely. 1.1.1. Place a few drops of LOCTITE, or equivalent, on the stem of the corona ball before attachment. - Page 16 Page 6 of 19 Installation & Adjustment Procedures 1.1.3. Make reference marks on the parts shown in Figure 3 to ensure correct reassembly. Figure 3: Reference Marks Location 1.2. Remove the jaw. Discard the steel channel shipping spacer, but retain the ½” circular spacer for later use.
- Page 17 Page 7 of 19 Installation & Adjustment Procedures 1.3. With the switch fully open, carefully remove the hinge and yoke assembly as shown in Figure 5. Discard the steel channel shipping spacers. Figure 5: Live Parts Removal...
- Page 18 Page 8 of 19 Installation & Adjustment Procedures 1.4. Place the base on a firm, level surface. It may be necessary to construct saw horses for this purpose. Additionally, the temporary mounting should be stable and well- anchored to prevent overturn of the switch. Figure 6: Insulator Mounting 1.4.1.
- Page 19 Page 9 of 19 Installation & Adjustment Procedures 1.4.1.1. The best method to mount the end insulators is to remove the top nuts from the jack screws and remove the mounting adaptors. The adaptors can then be bolted directly to the bottom of the insulators without interference problems with a socket wrench.
- Page 20 Page 10 of 19 Installation & Adjustment Procedures TIMESAVING TIP for mounting live parts when hardware must be placed between the insulator and the live parts: Use two studs of sufficient length to allow later removal (easily made by cutting the heads off two bolts) to align the parts.
- Page 21 Page 11 of 19 Installation & Adjustment Procedures 1.5. Lift the hinge and yoke assembly to a convenient height using the same sling attachment shown in Figure 5 and mount the corona rings into the position shown in Figure 10. Note the geometry of these rings, the short end goes toward the open gap of the switch.
- Page 22 Page 12 of 19 Installation & Adjustment Procedures 1.8. Mount the jaw. If the switch is equipped with a ground switch, discard the ½” spacer and mount the ground switch jaw. See Figure 12. Figure 12: Corona Ring 1.9. At this time, mount the switch on the structure. Before doing this, close the switch blade until it rotates into the jaw.

Page 23: Contact Adjustment
Page 13 of 19 Installation & Adjustment Procedures 2. Contact Adjustment 2.1. Upon closing, the switch should enter the jaw centrally with equal clearance on either side as shown in Figure 13. Additionally, the silver of the blade tip should be centered in the jaw contacts as shown in Figure 14. - Page 24 Page 14 of 19 Installation & Adjustment Procedures 1.5. The switch is fully closed and will have adequate contact pressure when the blade has rotated to within plus or minus 5° of a horizontal plane as shown in . However, Figure 15 an attempt should be made to get all blades to rotate to a completely horizontal position.
- Page 25 Page 15 of 19 Installation & Adjustment Procedures 1.7. Most importantly, even contact must be maintained all along the silver of the blade tip with the silver of all the contact fingers. If even contact is not observed, loosen the bolts that mount the jaw to the insulators and shift the jaw assembly around until proper, even contact with all fingers firmly against the blade silver is achieved.

Page 26: Operating Mechanism Installation
Page 16 of 19 Installation & Adjustment Procedures 3. Operating Mechanism Installation 3.1. Included with every switch is an Operating Mechanism Drawing (Op. Mech. Drawing). Study this drawing carefully, and with the switch closed, install the mounting brackets, bushings, manual gear box, vertical pipe*, adjustable crank arm, and reach rod. Be sure that the pipe collar above the vertical bearing supports the full weight of the vertical pipe. -

Page 17 of 19 Installation & Adjustment Procedures 4. Operating Mechanism Adjustment 4.1. The adjustable arm should travel 180° from toggle closed to toggle open. Manually test operate. 4.2. If the switch does not fully open, the radius of the arm is too short. To correct: 4.2.1. -
Page 28: Recommended Inspection Maintenance
Recommended Inspection Maintenance Recommended Inspection Maintenance Southern States’ disconnect switches are designed to operate with minimum maintenance. While disconnecting switches are not readily serviced at frequent intervals, periodic inspection is important for satisfactory operation and maximized overall life. Frequency of inspection and maintenance depends on the installation site, weather, atmospheric conditions, experience of operating personnel, and any special operation requirements. -
Page 29: Patrolling Inspection (6 Months)
Page 19 of 19 Recommended Inspection Maintenance Patrolling Inspection (6 Months) The patrolling inspection is a largely visual inspection on an energized unit in service. The frequency of the inspection is determined by the local conditions and policies of the owner of the equipment. Inspect the insulators for breaks, cracks, burns, or cement deterioration. - Page 30 The Quality Name in High Voltage Switching 30 Georgia Avenue Hampton, Georgia 30228 Phone: 770-946-4562 Fax: 770-946-8106 E-mail: support@southernstatesllc.com http://www.southernstatesllc.com ©2021 Southern States, LLC IB-101-EV 500-Rev3 02152021 Printed U.S.A.
