Table 7. Expected Minimum Number of Operations
Compiled with reference to actual contact life tests of several selected ratings.
LC = Low Current Switch HC = High Current Switch
MC = Mid Current Switch HV = High Voltage Switch
On the same basis, other VR-1 regulators rated less than 100 kVA and not shown in Table 7 can operate in excess of
1,000,000 tap changes before inspection is required. This is typically more than 25 years for normal service. Again, many
