INTRODUCTION Page 7 It is the intent of this manual to provide a guide for safely installing, operating and maintaining Toshiba vacuum circuit breakers. This manual consists of a section of general safety instructions and is marked throughout with warning symbols. Read this manual thoroughly before installation, operation and maintenance of this equipment.
Page 8 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Toshiba HV6FS vacuum circuit breakers described in this manual are suitable for use on systems of 4.8kV and 7.2kV voltage classes that require interrupting ratings of 16kA and 14kA respectively and a continuous current rating of 630A.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION Page 9 SAFETY DEVICES 5) Manual Trip Lever (Red) – Pushing the lever Safety interlocks and guards are provided as an in the direction of the arrow trips the circuit breaker (On-Off indicator changes to OFF). integral part of the equipment design. These devices are provided for safety to the operator.
This may cause damage. 4) File a claim with the carrier for any damaged or missing items and immediately notify the nearest Toshiba representative. Do not install or energize WARNING equipment that has been Fig. 5 Insulating Cylinder damaged.
INSTALLATION Page 11 HANDLING AND MOVING When handling and moving the circuit breaker, the techniques shown in this section may be used. Care and caution should be used when handling the circuit breaker units to avoid damage to the equipment and personal injury. Always keep the circuit breaker in a generally upright position.
Toshiba representative for additional information. Toshiba HV6FS circuit breakers are intended for use in usual service conditions as defined in RATING VERIFICATION IEEE C37.20.2. The temperature of the cooling air (ambient air temperature) surrounding the Prior to Installation, the maximum fault current breaker should be between the limits of -5°C...
11 ga. (.12 in.) thick steel. If the breaker must be mounted to a panel of different thickness, contact Toshiba. Panel cutout dimensions for the circuit breakers are given in Fig. 12. One cutout size is used for all breaker types.
INSTALLATION Page 15 MOUNTING DIRECTLY TO A SHELF The shelf should be flat and level within ± 0.5 PANEL mm (± 0.02 in.). If there are any noticeable gaps between the breaker and the shelf, fill them in using flat washers as spacers. Check to make sure the breaker On-Off indicator shows OFF (green), then mount it by following the steps below:...
Page 16 INSTALLATION MAIN CIRCUIT CABLE CONNECTIONS Cables that connect to the circuit breaker should be routed to avoid interference with sharp edges and moving parts. Minimum bending radius for the type of cable used should be observed. Power cables should be braced and/or laced to withstand short-circuit forces wherever such cables are unsupported.
INSTALLATION Page 17 GROUND CONNECTIONS The circuit breaker must be grounded in accordance with the requirements of the National Electrical Code, Article 250 or applicable local standards. Proper grounding WARNING connections must be made to the circuit breaker before incoming power is applied. It is very important that the circuit breaker and its enclosure be adequately grounded to protect the operator from injury in the event of short circuits...
Page 18 INSTALLATION CONTROL CIRCUIT CONNECTIONS Control circuit wiring is connected to the terminal block on the top of the operating mechanism (Fig. 20). Connect control wires in accordance with the appropriate wiring diagram shown in Fig. 28 through Fig. 29 in the OPERATION section of this manual.
