SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this book is to provide instructions for
unpacking, storage, use operation and maintenance
of VCP-T drawout type and VCP-TR fixed type
Vacuum Circuit Breakers. VCP-T and VCP-TR are
compact vacuum interrupting elements designed for
applications such as: mine power centers, portable
power stations, fixed breaker or drawout switchgear
and portable generators, all without compromising
metal clad expectations. VCP-T and VCP-TR
breakers were specifically designed to provide proven
reliable performance in a small package. The circuit
breakers are available in voltage classes of 4.76, 8.25
and 15.0 kV. They are tested in accordance with ANSI
C37.04 and C37.09 (Table
1.1).
1-1 VCP-T and VCP-TR Vacuum Breaker Ratings
Refer to Tables 1.1 and 1.2 on pages 2 and 3.
The circuit breaker's nameplate provides complete
rating information. Reliable control and protection for
medium voltage equipment and circuits are achieved
through the use of VCP-T and VCP-TR Vacuum
Breakers.
WARNING
SATISFACTORY PERFORMANCE OF THESE
BREAKERS IS CONTINGENT UPON PROPER
APPLICATION, CORRECT INSTALLATION AND
ADEQUATE MAINTENANCE. THIS INSTRUCTION
BOOK MUST BE CAREFULLY READ AND
FOLLOWED IN ORDER TO OBTAIN OPTIMUM
