Equipment Description

PowlVac® ARG & ARM Series 4 Vacuum Circuit Breakers

5kV & 15kV - 1200A, 2000A, & 3000A - 25kA, 36kA, 50kA, & 63kA

01.4IB.60306

e.  Control Circuit

The typical electrical control scheme is 

shown in 

Figure 8

.  

The sequence of operation for all 

control schemes is shown in  

Figure 7

.  Circuit breaker mounted 

auxiliary contacts not used in the 

control circuit are brought out for 

control and indication functions.  The 

metal-clad switchgear equipment 

may provide a circuit breaker MOC 

(Mechanism Operated Cell Switch) for 

additional contacts.

echAnISM

The racking mechanism is the mechanical 

assembly that facilitates moving the circuit 

breaker between the breaker  

test/disconnected and the connected positions 

in the circuit breaker compartment.  The 

main racking mechanism components for the 

PowlVac® ARG & ARM Series 4 circuit breakers 

are described in the following sections:

1)  Breaker Position Indicator

The breaker position indicator

  

(

Figure 1, d

) is visible through an opening 

in the circuit breaker front cover.  The 

indicator displays whether the circuit 

breaker is in the connected or the  

test/disconnected positions.  When 

the breaker position indicator displays 

“BREAKER CONNECTED”, and this is fully 

visible in the aperture, the circuit breaker 

is in the connected position.  When the 

breaker position indicator displays  

“BREAKER TEST/DISCONNECTED”, and 

this is fully visible in the aperture, the circuit 

breaker is in the test/disconnected position.  

In positions other than the connected and 

test/disconnected positions, the  breaker 

position indicator does not display an 

indication.  Refer to  

Ch 4 Installation, E. Inserting the Circuit 

Breaker into the Circuit Breaker Compartment

 

for more information.

2)    Interlocking

PowlVac circuit breakers are provided 

with several interlocks that operate in 

conjunction with the circuit breaker 

compartment to ensure the proper 

operation of the circuit breaker.  Do 

not attempt to modify or bypass these 

interlocks, as they are necessary for the safe 

operation of the circuit breaker.  

The purpose of the interlocks is to ensure:

•  The circuit breaker cannot be moved 

from the test/disconnected to the 

connected position unless the main  

circuit breaker contacts are opened and 

the secondary control circuitry from 

the compartment to the circuit breaker 

is completed, and the circuit breaker 

cannot be removed from the connected 

to the test/disconnected position unless 

the main contacts are opened.

•  The control circuits cannot be broken 

when the circuit breaker is in the 

connected position.

•  The circuit breaker cannot be removed 

from the circuit breaker compartment 

with the circuit breaker closed or with 

the main closing spring charged.
