The equipment covered by this publication must be selected for a specific application and it must be installed, operated, and maintained by qualified persons who are thoroughly trained and who understand any hazards that may be involved. This publication is written only for such qualified persons and is not intended to be a substitute for adequate training and experience in safety procedures for this type of equipment.

General The following instructions are for field assembly (erec- tion) and installation of S&C Mark V Integer Style Circuit-Switchers. See Figure 1.

The S&C Mark V Circuit-Switcher employs an in-series circuit-breaking interrupter and a circuit-making and isolating disconnect, making it especially suited for switching and protection of transformers, lines, cables, capacitor banks, and line-connected or tertiary- connected shunt reactors. The Mark V Circuit-Switcher is suitable for frequent operation over a long period of time with minimal maintenance; is capable of closing, carrying, and interrupting fault currents as well as load currents; and utilizes interrupters economically tailored for specific applications by employing the precise number of interrupting gaps required. These interrupters are unaffected if subjected to sustained system voltage for extended periods, as a result of being left open with the disconnect blades closed for any reason.

Each pole-unit of the S&C Mark V Circuit-Switcher includes a brain which provides built-in positive sequence control . . . and a fully enclosed stored-energy source dedicated solely to operation of the interrupter which is in the circuit at all times. Close-and-trip

mechanisms are fully enclosed and protected, too. There are no external linkages, lever arms, cams, shunts, etc. that must be coordinated with a disconnect blade to accomplish circuit interruption. Positively sequenced operation is assured regardless of severe weather conditions such as high winds, rain, sleet, or snow.

The fault-closing contacts utilized on Integer Style Mark V Circuit-Switchers consist of a rugged stainless- steel tongue contact and a reverse-loop jaw contact of tinned, tempered silicon bronze. This contact arrangement assures long operating life and contrib- utes to Integer Style Mark V Circuit-Switcher’s high fault-closing capability. Dissimilar metals prevent contact welding.

The current-carrying contacts utilized on Integer Style Mark V Circuit-Switchers consist of a multifinger, spring-loaded, silver-inlaid, tinned hard-drawn copper, reverse-loop jaw contact that grips hard (but only when needed during short-circuit current surges) against a silver-inlaid, high-conductivity cast copper tongue contact. Confining all arcing to the fault-closing contacts, plus the built-in blade-wiping action, assures clean current-carrying contacts, low-resistance current path.

Mark V Circuit-Switcher features a base-integrated power train with drive-shaft mechanism that efficiently transmits and controls energy at high operating speed . . . and permanently maintains close interphase simultaneity. The drive train utilizes 186-degree vertical-shaft rotation to provide full toggle action at both ends of closing and opening strokes for smooth, shock-free acceleration and deceleration. Peak mechan- ical advantage is developed at stroke ends for power opening and closing without hesitation under %-inch ice Sormation, as discussed on page 2 under “Power Operation.”

I INTRODUCTION - Continued I hesitation under %-inch ice formation; close interphase simultaneity; long life of fault-closing contacts under normal operating duties; and avoidance of excessive switching transients due to prolonged or unstable prestrike arcing. Mark V Circuit-Switchers are provided with high-speed, high-torque power operation by means of S&C Switch Operators--Type CS-1A.

High-speed tripping of power-operated Mark V Circuit-Switchers is furnished by the S&C Shunt-Trip Device. This optional accessory (Circuit-Switcher Catalog Number Suffix “-T1” or “-T2”) provides high- speed (8-cycle) circuit interruption. The S&C Switch Operator-Type CS-1A is required if the shunt-trip device is specified.

Basis of Fault-Closing Ratings The two-time duty-cycle fault-closing rating set forth above applies to Integer Style Mark V Circuit-Switchers when powered by S&C Switch Operators--Type CS-lA, and is based on performance as follows:

The Circuit-Switcher is capable of two fault-closing operations consisting of closing against and carrying for three seconds its rated fault-closing current, after which it can carry and interrupt its rated continuous current and is capable of power operation-either opening or closing. After each occasion consisting of either one or two fault-closing operations at its rated fault-closing current, the Circuit-Switcher must be inspected and any necessary repair or replacement of the fault- closing contacts made to restore the device to its original condition.

Manual Operation S&C Mark V Integer Style Circuit-Switchers may be manually operated by means of an S&C Manual Geared Operating Handle. Manually operated Circuit- Switchers, however, do not provide the performance features obtainable with power-operated Circuit- Switchers as described under “Power Operation,” such as fault-closing ratings and opening and closing under ice formation-nor can they be furnished with the shunt-trip device. Also, for manually operated Mark V Circuit-Switchers, the degree of simultaneity of opening and closing of the three pole-units depends on the proper installation and adjustment of the operating mechanism-as well as on the speed of cranking at the operating handle-and must be considered in establishing ground-relay settings.

Mounting of Circuit-Switchers The high operating speed which makes possible many of the Mark V Circuit-Switcher’s superior performance features when power operated brings about high acceleration and deceleration rates, resulting in high dynamic forces-for which S&C Mounting Pedestals were specifically designed, and are thus highly recommended. Alternately, Circuit-Switchers can be installed on the user’s steel pedestals or supporting structures-which must meet specific static and dynamic deflection limits shown in S&C data sheets, so that the dynamic forces will be absorbed by the pedestals and not transferred to adjoining bus or other apparatus (e.g., bushings).

Use of flexible-conductor connections at Circuit- Switcher’s terminal pads will compensate for inherent

insulator-column deflection. The weight of the bus plus any associated ice load exerts a vertical force on the Circuit-Switcher terminal pads. This vertical force must not exceed 400 pounds on either terminal pad.

Seismic Withstand Capability S&C Mark V Circuit-Switchers, when installed with the recommended S&C Mounting Pedestals and anchor bolts, are capable of withstanding seismic loading of 0.2 ground acceleration in any direction, as well as performing as intended during such loading and afterward. Higher seismic withstand capabilities can be furnished on special application.

Inspection Schedule and Procedures To assure Circuit-Switcher's continued proper perform- ance, it should be inspected in accordance with S&C's recommended schedule and procedures contained in S&C Instruction Sheet 711-590.

Should the user wish to perform elective exercising of the complete Circuit-Switcher installation-includ- ing the shunt-trip device, when this option is fur- nished-it may be accomplished without the need for opening the high-voltage circuit, by equipping the Circuit-Switcher with the optional stick-operated bypass accessory (Circuit-Switcher Catalog Number Suffix "-Bl"). Even if the bypass accessory has not been furnished, the Type CS-1A Switch Operator may be conveniently decoupled from the Circuit-Switcher, thereby permitting elective exercising of the operator at any time without requiring an outage or switching to an alternate source; when the switch operator is in the decoupled position, the shunt-trip device-when this option is furnished-is rendered inoperative, thereby permitting checkout of the system protective scheme.

Interrupter Target Circuit-Switchers are usually shipped with the inter- rupters in the open position. Therefore, the interrupter target, located on the side of each brain housing (see Figure 3), will appear yellow. During the step-by-step instructions which follow, the disconnect blades will be moved to the fully open position. This will close the interrupter and charge and latch the stored-energy source within the brain, and the target will appear gray (normal).

When in service, Circuit-Switcher interrupters should never be open when the blades are in the closed position. To close the interrupters, Circuit- Switcher must be completely opened and then reclosed.

Gas-Pressure Indicator Circuit-Switchers have sealed interrupters containing gas under pressure. Loss of gas pressure may result in improper interrupting action. Low gas pressure is signaled by a red target in the gas-pressure indicator at the terminal end of each interrupter. A gray target indicates normal pressure.

SHUN'J."TRIP DEVICE If the optional shunt-trip device has been specified, a shunt-trip solenoid housing will be attached to the mounting-frame weldment, near the rotating insulator of each pole-unit. An insulated operating shaft will be connected between this shunt-trip solenoid housing and the shaft extending from the shunt-trip linkage housing on the pole-unit brain. Factory-installed conduit and control wiring is provided between the shunt-trip solenoid hous- ings-ready for connection to factory-installed conduit and control wiring inside the mounting pedestal (if an S&C Mounting Pedestal has been specified). The conduit and the control wiring on the mounting-frame weldment can be connected to the conduit and control wiring inside the mounting pedestal any time after the mounting-frame weldment is installed on the mounting pedestal.

Control wiring for the shunt-trip solenoids should be left disconnected at the switch operator end until Step 6 has been completed. Refer to S&C Instruction Sheet 711-600 for recommended wire sizes for the control wiring.

DO NOT INTERMIX COMPONENTS FROM DIFFERENT INSTALLATIONS

S&C maintains an historical record-by serial number-of every Circuit-Switcher produced. This record lists information pertinent to each instal- lation, such as application, date of shipment, and any service performed by S&C factory service specialists. This record is invaluable when questions arise relative to modifications or replacements. I t is important, therefore, that the various compo- nents belonging to a specific Circuit-Switcher installation not to be intermixed with components belonging to a different installation.

For this reason, each Circuit-Switcher is serially numbered. This serial number is stamped on the nameplate affixed to the mounting-frame weldment and also on the nameplate affixed to the switch operator (or the manual geared operating handle if the Circuit-Switcher is manually operated).

To facilitate identification during erection, the serial number, the sales-order number, and the erection-drawing (ED) number are marked on the Circuit-Switcher mounting-frame weldment, as well as on the switch operator shipping crate, and on all crates, boxes, and bundles for the other components associated with the installation.

Please complete and mail the Circuit-Switcher registration card (enclosed in the water-resistant envelope) after the Circuit-Switcher has been installed. The information requested on this card is vital to ensure prompt notification in the event field modifications are needed.

Step 8Because this Circuit-Switcher was carefully adjustedat the factory, the only field adjustments that shouldbe required are those described in S&C InstructionSheet 719-500. There are, however, several checks thatshould be made to ascertain that no adjustments weredisturbed during shipment.

ing the opening operation an initial peaking of effortwill be required as the drive-shaft crank leaves itsclosed, toggle position. Rotation should progresssmoothly but with a noticeable increase in effort asthe blades pass beyond their half-open position. It isat this position that the stored-energy source withineach brain begins to charge as the interrupter closes.

As the opening continues, this stored-energy sourcecharges and latches, and a final peaking of effort againwill be required as the drive-shaft crank goes into toggleagainst its open stop. The blades will now be in thefully open position and the interrupters will be closed,as indicated by the gray interrupter target on the sideof each brain. See Figure 3.
