Summary

Receiving Inspection

Handling

Instructions on how to carefully handle disconnect switches, noting porcelain fragility.

Factory Drawings

Importance of following factory drawings for assembly and ground-level adjustment.

Installation and Adjustment

Step 1-Check Bases

Verify squareness and levelness of base spacers and rotor bearing tops, adjusting as needed.

Step 2-Assemble Insulators

Mount insulator stacks to switch base, maintaining factory crank position for alignment.

Step 3-Insulator Stack Alignment

Procedure for aligning insulator stacks on switches 8.25-242kV using shims or leveling screws.

Step 4-Mount Current Carrying Parts

Mount current carrying parts with base crank clockwise and jaws finger tight for alignment.

Step 5-Mount Switches

Assemble switches on supporting structure, ensuring they are level and parallel, shimming if needed.

Step 6-Switch Blade Adjustment

Adjust switch blade for central entry into jaws and proper contact alignment.

Blade Contact Angle

Specifies allowable elevation difference for blade contact based on contact width and degree tolerance.

Blade Height in Jaw

Adjusts blade height in jaw by turning clevis, noting left-hand thread connection.

Step 7-Mount Offset Bearing

Mount offset bearing and base on structure per drawings, checking crank radius and angle.

Step 8-Adjust the Multi-Angle Crank

Adjust multi-angle crank for 45-degree angle with offset link, removing projection if interference occurs.

Step 9-Install Vertical Operating Pipe

Install vertical operating pipe (VOP) by connecting coupling to rotor bearing shaft.

Step 10-Install Pipe Splice and Guide Plate

Install pipe splice and guide plate for structures over 23 feet, aligning vertical pipe.

Step 11-Install Offset Rod

Install offset rod from offset bearing to multi-angle crank, adjusting pin-to-pin dimension and rod length.

Step 12-Install Operating Mechanism

Install swing-handle or worm gear operator, following specific instructions for each type.

Step 13-Adjust Drive Phase

Adjust offset rod and offset bearing to achieve fully open/closed positions and toggle on offset bearing.

Step 14-Install Interphase Rods

Install interphase rods and offset crank rod for unison operation, adjusting length for proper opening/closing.

Step 15-Arcing Horn Installation

Install movable and stationary arcing horns on blade and jaw, adjusting for light contact pressure.

Step 16-Installation of Corona Rings and Balls

Install corona rings and balls on 242kV switches per single pole drawings.

Step 17-Final Checks

Perform final checks on 3-pole installation for blade angles, jaw entry, contact, and bolt tightness.

Switch Adjustment Tips

Guidance on adjusting offset rod when offset bearing pulls switch open for toggle and blade roll.

Offset Bearing Pushing Switch Open

Guidance on adjusting offset rod when offset bearing pushes switch open for toggle and blade roll.

Terminal Connections

Aluminum-to-Aluminum Terminals

Steps for cleaning, treating, and connecting aluminum terminals to ensure good current transfer.

Copper-to-Aluminum Terminals

Procedure for connecting copper conductors to aluminum terminals, including cleaning and greasing.

Maintenance

Maintenance Checklist

Items to check annually for jaw contacts, alignment, cleanliness, and pressure.

Field Lubrication Guide

Lubrication recommendations for switch components based on type and environment.

Counterbalance Mechanism

Upright to Vertical Mounting

Procedure for converting counterbalance from upright to vertical mounting, noting tension.

Change to Inverted Mounting

Procedure for inverting counterbalance, requiring additional parts and factory contact.

Trouble Shooting Guide

Blade Doesn't Open to 90 Degrees

Troubleshooting steps for blade not opening to 90 degrees based on single pole or 3-phase arrangement.

Blade Isn't Completely Flat When Closed

Troubleshooting steps for blade not being flat when closed, based on single pole or 3-phase arrangement.

Blade Too High/Low in Jaw

Troubleshooting for blade height in jaw, not centerline of contact springs, for contact issues.

Switch Fails to Open or Close Completely

Troubleshooting for incomplete opening or closing of the switch, checking interphase crank angles.

Outside Phase(s) Not Flat

Troubleshooting for outside phases not turning flat, involving over-travel and lost motion.

Inconsistent Phase Operation

Troubleshooting for inconsistent phase operation, adjusting interphase rods and vernier for synchronization.

Blade Hits Jaw Stop

Troubleshooting for blade hitting jaw stop, adjusting clevis counter-clockwise to prevent binding.

Violent Bearing Snap (Close Only)

Troubleshooting violent outboard bearing snap during closing, adjusting offset rod.

Violent Bearing Snap (Open Only)

Troubleshooting violent outboard bearing snap during opening, adjusting offset rod.

Violent Bearing Snap (Close & Open)

Troubleshooting violent bearing snap during closing and opening, adjusting trail radius.
