GENERAL
The compact Cooper Power
Systems two-position loadbreak/
loadmake switch is designed for
use in transformer (mineral) oil,
Envirotemp™ FR3™ fluid, or an
approved equivalent fluid-filled
"Class 1" pad-mounted
transformers or distribution
switchgear.
The switch mechanism uses a
manually charged over-toggle
stored spring assembly, which is
independent of operator speed.
The spring loaded activating
mechanism ensures quick
loadbreak or loadmake operation in
less than one cycle. The twoposition
switch incorporates a
double "O" ring shaft sealing
system and two types of mounting
systems, including a weld-in
bracket assembly, and an easy to
install ring mount system. Also
incorporated into the switch
mechanism are internal stops
which restrict the handle orientation
to only two positions.
The two-position switch is hotstick
operable and requires minimal input
torque to operate. The switch
contacts are factory assembled
and gaged to a predetermined
spring pressure to ensure uniform
contact pressure between the
contacts and the blades.
The silver-plated copper blades are
securely keyed between the vented
rotor halves which ensure proper
blade and contact alignment during
switching. All of these features make
the two-position switch a reliable,
no-maintenance switch product.
Design/Production
Tests
The two-position switch has been
tested to meet the sequential test
requirements described by IEEE
Std C37.74™-2003 standard. Tests
are also conducted on production
switches in accordance with
Cooper requirements.
