Section 1: Introduction
1.1 Purpose
This instruction booklet covers the installation, operation, and main-
tenance of a VacClad-W 38 kV, 150 basic insulation level
(BIL) switch-
gear indoor housing assembly . It is not encompassing of all possible
contingencies, variations, and details that may arise during installa-
tion, operation, or maintenance of this equipment .
1.2 Application and description
Eaton’s VacClad-W 38 kV, 150 BIL switchgear indoor housing assem-
bly provides centralized control and protection of medium voltage
power equipment and circuits in industrial, commercial, and util-
ity installations involving generators, motors, and feeder circuits .
Several built-in interlocks and safety features are provided .
The construction of the VacClad-W 38 kV, 150 BIL switchgear pro-
vides the end user with a wide verity of lineup configurations to suit
application and space requirement needs . A breaker vertical section is
of one-high type construction, designed such that a breaker is easily
rolled in and out of the section without the need of a lifting appara-
tus . A single transformer section can house up to two sets of trans-
formers in a stacked configuration .
Transformer sections are of drawout type construction . The trans-
formers are mounted on a drawer that can be easily inserted and
extracted from the vertical switchgear section . This provides a
convenient way to replace transformer fuses and to perform mainte-
nance on the transformer cell . A transformer drawer is rolled into a
lower cell without the need of a lifting apparatus . A lifting apparatus
is required to load a transformer drawer in an upper cell . See the
Optional accessories section for details on an optional lifting appara-
tus for this application .
