INTRODUCTION
Service Information S275-10-3 provides maintenance instructions for the Type Cl three-phase fault interrupter. Included is a
general description of the interrupter and control, and their operation. A service parts list, keyed to exploded-view drawings of
the interrupter, is included at the back of the manual.
DESCRIPTION
The Type Cl fault interrupter (Figure 1) is an automatic, nonreclosing, three-phase interrupting device that will interrupt currents through 12000 amps symmetrical on systems rated
through 38 kv. A compact, lightweight device, the Type Cl features submersible construction, a stored-energy mechanism,
and dry, solid insulated vacuum interrupters.
Line currents are sensed by 1000:1 ratio encapsulated bushing current transformers on each phase on the interrupter. This
provides a continuous measurement of phase and ground current, which is monitored by the Electronic Trip Control. When

7. Check contact erosion of the vacuum interrupters. With the
contacts closed the dimension between the support plate and
boss, see Figure 2, should not exceed 5/8".
MAINTENANCE
Frequency of Maintenance
Because interrupters are applied under widely varying operating and climatic conditions, maintenance intervals are best
determined by the user based on actual operating experience.
To assure proper operation, interrupters must be maintained
when they have operated the equivalent of a complete duty
cycle and before the dielectric strength has deteriorated below
prescribed levels. In the absence of specific operating experience, the following procedures are recommended.
When Type Cl interrupters are operated under usual service
conditions as defined in ANSI (American National Standards
Institute) C37.60,`Requirements for overhead, Pad
Mounted, Dry Vault, and Submersible Automatic Circuit
Reclosers and

8. Check circuit components attached to the operating
mechanism.
A. Check condition of wiring to terminal strips and
make sure all connections are tight.
B. Check condition and operation of all microswitches
and trip solenoids.
C. Check condition of current transformers and the
associated wiring, if equipped.
9. Replace tank gasket. Apply quick-set adhesive to position and hold gasket in groove at corners of tank.
10. Check the tightness of all cable connectors and other
fastners.
11. Clean gasket seat and retank the interrupter. Replace
the head bolts and tighten to 10-15 ft-lbs. torque. Apply
clamping force gradually and equally, in rotation, to
each bolt to achieve an evenly distributed gasket sealing pressure. Leak test tank, see procedure page 3.

WARNING
Use a suitable hoist when lifting interrupter assembly. If
interrrupter assembly only (without frame) is to be lifted,
attach hooks to lifting points located between interrupters
and secure sling to center interrupter. If the sling is not
secured, the assembly will flip which could cause serious
injury or damage to the equipment.
CAUTION
Carefully lift the mechanism assembly from tank. There is
very little clearance between the mechanism assembly
and the tank. If the mechanism binds or catches on the
tank as it is removed, damage to the mechanism can
result.
9. Remove hardware that secures cover assembly to tank
and carefully lift assembly out of tank. Carefully guide the
mechanism assembly through tank opening.

Tanking
To retank interrupter proceed as follows:
1. Clean the underside of the cover assembly to ensure a good
seal. Install a new tank seal, use quick-set adhesive to position
and secure gasket at corners of tank.
WARNING
Use a suitable hoist when lifting interrupter assembly. If interrupter assembly only (without frame) is to be lifted, attach hooks
to lifting points located between interrupters and secure sling to
center interrupter. If the sling is not secured, the assembly will
flip which could cause serious injury or damage to the equipment.
CAUTION
Carefully lower the mechanism assembly into tank. There is
very little clearance between the mechanism assembly and the
tank. If the mechanism binds or catches on the tank as it is
removed, damage to the mechanism can result.
2. Carefully lower interrupter assembly into tank. Guide mechanism into tank to prevent it from catching as it enters.
Install hardware and tighten to 10-15 ft-lbs torque.
3. Install two new o-rings on the trip lever shaft and lubricate it
with a little grease (SWS-290). Install shaft assembly
through tank and engage with mechanism main shaft.
Install hex cap screws and lockwashers (Figure 4).
4. Place a few drops of Loctite 242 on threads of charging
handle extension, install extension and tighten securely.
5. Place a few drops of Loctite 242 on set screw and install,
see Figure 8.
NOTE: The current transformers on the encapsulated interrupter bushings are permanently affixed. ACT cannot be removed without damaging
both the CT and the interrupter.
87889KMA
CAUTION
6. Install clamping ring, secure with screws previously
removed, see Figure 5.
NOTE: If the bail and frame assembly were removed, continue with
the following steps. Refer to Figure 3 for bail and frame assembly
item references.
Rotating the body of the aperseal may break the seal between
body and cable. This will provide a path for moisture, or other
contaminants, to enter the interrupter operating mechanism
tank. This will damage the mechanism and may render it inoperative.

Test Procedure
TESTING IN PLACE
Assemble and connect the equipment as shown in Figure 10,
which shows the test current being applied to phase A.
1. Manually close the interrupted contacts, refer to manual
closing procedure.
2. Slowly increase the voltage on the variable transformer
while observing the voltage between pins A and D.
3. After approximately 115 volts, the voltage should drop off
even though the voltage from the variable transformer is
increased. If the voltage does not drop off, the CT protection board is not operating properly and must be replaced.
4. Disconnect input power and reconnect to test phase B and
then phase C. Ground can be tested between pins E & F
while the test circuit is connected to any phase.
BENCH TESTING
Assemble and connect the equipment as shown in Figure 11,
which shows the test voltage being applied to phase A.
1. Slowly increase the voltage on the variable transformer
while observing the voltage between the 1000:1 CT leads.
2. After approximately 115 volts, the voltage should drop off
OPERATING PROCEDURES
The interrupter should not be operated or placed into service
until there is a full understanding of its operating procedures.
Mechanism and control levers and indicators referred to in this
section are identified in Figures 12 and 13.

Manual Closing
Manual deenergized closing into an energized line,without the
120 volt ac supply, can be accomplished with the Push-Pull
handle located on the left front of the mechanism tank (Figure
12).
1. If the electronic control is connected, make sure the manual
control switch on the control panel has been moved to the
TRIP position and released.
2. Move Trip-Reset handle, right front of mechanism tank to
either the TRIP or RESET position.
3. Pull Push-Pull handle approximately 30 times, or until the
operating spring indicator reads SPRING CHARGED.
4. Move Trip-Reset handle to CLOSE. Interrupter contacts will
close and handle will spring back to the RESET position.
Manual Tripping
A closed interrupter can be manually tripped at the operator
mechanism by moving the Trip-Reset handle at the front of the
tank to TRIP.
This will release a trip latch in the operating mechanism,
allowing the charged opening springs to drive the contacts to
their open position.
The interrupter cannot be closed while the Trip-Reset handle is in the TRIP position.

IN-SERVICE OPERATION
Initial Operation
To place the interrupter in operation, proceed as follows:
1. Make sure that the control cables extending from the interrupter are connected to the control and that 120 volt ac power
is supplied to the control.
2. Make sure that the Trip-Reset handle at the front of the interrupter mechanism tank is in the RESET position.
3. Move the Manual Control switch on the electronic control
panel to CLOSE. The interrupter will close. The red indicator
lamp on the control panel will light and the indicator flag in the
mechanism will read CLOSED.
Automatic operation
Once the unit is closed and in service, the electronic control will
automatically trip the interrupter in accordance with the programmed operating characteristics when a phase or ground fault
occurs. While closed, the red indicator lamp on the control panel
will provide a continuous indication of closed contacts. The indicator flag, visible through a viewing port at the front of the mechanism tank, will display CLOSED.
To open the interrupter while it is in service, move the manual
control switch to TRIP. The interrupter will immediately open.
Whether tripped automatically or manually, the green indicator
lamp on the panel and the OPEN position of the mechanism flag
will indicate open contacts.
If the remote control operating feature is being used, operations initiated by the remote trip and close dry contacts will be
identical to those initiated with the Manual Control switch.
Indicator lamp and Contact-Position Indicator displays will also
be the same.
