Electronic control Loadbreak switch Line current is sensed by internally mounted current In many configurations Eaton’s Cooper Power series RVAC sensing transformers. When current in excess of the switch is integrated within the VFI switchgear. Refer to minimum trip value is detected, the control initiates a signal Service Information MN285003EN for operation information which trips the faulted phase or phases, as applicable.

SF 6 pressure within switchgear will generally vary from 3 Mount the switchgear on concrete pad. to 10 psig, due to changes in ambient temperature. It is A. The switchgear must be installed on a level concrete recommended that SF 6 gas be added when the pressure pad or structure that has been designed to support gauge reads 2 psig lower than the expected gas pressure.
Operation Resetting the interrupter After the VFI mechanism has tripped, as the result of a fault condition, the mechanism must be reset before it can be DANGER closed. To reset the mechanism, use a hotstick and pull the operating handle down toward the ground, until the latch Hazardous voltage.

It is necessary to establish and maintain a regular schedule for checking the pressure of the insulating SF 6 to ensure If SF 6 must be added, contact your Eaton representative proper dielectric strength within the switchgear. Inspect for SF 6 Gas Top-Off Kit Catalog numbers KPA-1043-1/ the unit on 6 month intervals, whether in storage or in KPA-1043-2 ordering information.
Service Department. To order replacement parts, refer to the nameplate and provide the product type, serial number, catalog number and voltage rating and a description of the part. Contact your Eaton Fill Port representative for additional information and ordering procedure.
