4 S&C Instruction Sheet 761-545
Introduction
These interrupter switches are not intended for breaking fault currents.
Operating
Considerations
Circuit-making and circuit-breaking are involved in the normal operation of these
interrupter switches, and partial or precautionary opening or closing of the switch should
not be attempted. If the switch is covered in ice or snow, do not “chop” the switch between
the Open and Closed positions to dislodge the ice.
To operate the switch, swing the handle through its full stroke without hesitation. Do
not assume the operating handle position indicates the Open and Closed positions of
the interrupter switch blades. After opening or closing the switch, always make a visual
check of the blade position to determine the switch blades are in the intended position.
Then, tag or padlock the operating handle in accordance with standard system operating
practices. In all cases, make sure the operating handle is locked before “walking away”
from the switch.
