Description of operation
The KA146W5 suspension-type hanger enables the 
mounting of Eaton's Cooper Power series three-phase 
reclosers, GW and GWC sectionalizers, and VRV oil 
switches on single poles. No crossarms are required.
The KA146W2 tank-lifting windlass is easily attached as 
a unit to the back of the mounting hanger with only two 
bolts. The windlass simplifies lowering the recloser tank 
for inspection and maintenance, but can not be used for 
lowering the entire recloser.
