Footnotes:
1.
The vacuum interrupter type designation
is labeled on the vacuum interrupter. If the
vacuum interrupter installed does not match
that indicated in this table, contact the nearest
Siemens representative.
2.
If you need assistance achieving the indicated
stroke setting, contact the nearest Siemens
representative.
