REMOVAL OF BLOCKING AND OPENING BREAKER As received, the breaker operating mechanism will be braced in the closed position and, for a breaker shipped with bushings installed, there may be bracing or strapping ‘The operating mechanism has been shipped braced in the closed position. No attempt to operate the breaker should be made until all shipping braces have been removed and the breaker has been inspected and adjust- ments checked, Read section on removal of blocking and ‘opening breaker before proceeding, RECEIVING Each operator and its associated apparatus has been carefully checked, inspected, and packed at the factory by workmen experienced in the proper handling of electr cal equipment. Immediately upon receipt of this equip- iment remove all packing traces and examine parts, check- ing them aginst the packing list. Carefully note any dam- lage that may have occurred in transit. If damage is disclosed, 2 damage claim should be filled at once with the transportation company. In addition, Siomens should be notified, Reler to the circuit breaker instruction book for details in filing ship ping damage claims. STORAGE ‘When the breaker is to be stored for any length of time, a location should be selected which is clean, dry and not ‘exposed to possibly corrosive gases or mechanical dam- age. All machined surfaces should be slushed with alight, ‘non-gumming oll to prevent corrosion. Particular care should be taken to protect insulating parts which might absorb moisture. All conduit openings should be sealed. ‘A perioaic inspection schedule should be set up for the protection of this stored equipment. ‘The operating mechanism housing is weatherproot. How- ‘ever, to prevent corrosion due to moisture condensation within the cabinet, energize the space heaters with a temporary electrical supply. aati de Ay ancer ‘To prevent serious personal injury trom entangle- ment in rapidly moving mechanical parts and possible damage to the breaker: +.

No attempt to operate the breakers should be made until all shipping braces and/or ties have been removed, and the breaker has been inspected and adjustments checked, The wiring and schematic connection diagrams supplied with the breaker should be used when testing ang check: ing the operating mechanism and control circuits. Check all wiring for looseness, NOTE 11 concitions necessitate energization of the trp oll through tne "A" stage ofthe sunny wich, the "A" stage should bo adjosted te irake at tho breaker contact positon. Ths results in an aceurato simulation of actual Conditions onstant wen the breakers closed against a fault wie in service. (et “Autry Control Equipment section.) The operator is designed to pertorm satisfactorily under electrical trip-free conditions. However, if the "A" stage is not readjusted, the breaker load is released so early in the ‘operator stroke that the unexpected kinetic energy of the closing cylinder, instead of being absorsed in a normal manner by the breaker load, must be absorbed by the operator. This, unnecessarily, creates conditions which can only have an adverse affect on the ie of the operator. Do not reconnect supply voltage until system pressure hhas built up to a value greater than minimum operating pressure. Page 3 MAINTENANCE Work on the breaker should be performed only by quali- fied personnel. The breaker should be in the open position land with the operator's pneumatic system at 2er0 psi. In addition, all electric power to the breaker and its controls should be disconnected and properly grounded. When Performing maintenance or adjustments requiring the breaker to be closed and charged, the release latch should be blocked in position to prevent accidental tipping and possible nny A DANGER To prevent serious personal injury or death from electrical shock, burns and entanglement in rapidly moving parts: 1. Do not trip or close breaker unless you are clear ofall moving parts. 2. Discharge the breakers’ mechanical systems before performing mainte hance or inspection 2.1. The position indicator must read OPEN, 22 Stored energy for closing must bbe DISSIPATED. 8. Secure the operator against acciden- tal ripping when adjustments require breaker in closed position, 4.

PLUMB TANKS {After the breaker is placed on its foundation, the breaker tanks must be leveled to assure proper vertical alignment nad below ‘The tanks can be levelled in the manner oK Suspend a plumb bob from the “V" block clip provided inside each tank at the side of the pole unit mechanism well. Each tank should be fevelled and clamped down independently of the others, Insert shims as required under ski at the tle down bolts such that the plumb bob falls within .125" of the center prick punch mark on the tank bottom. Make sure that the leveling one tank hes now thrown off the reading of a tank previously leveled. NOTE the correct prick punch mark is located within —— a circle of punch marks on the tank bottom, BUSHING INSTALLATION (Refer to Figure 2) Normally the bushings are shipped in place and need not bbe disturbed when Installing the breaker. However, at times. shipping clearances have made it necessary to remove the bushings prior to shipment and in some instances the bushings may have boon shipped directly trom the supplier When the bushings have been shipped separately, they are in good condition when they leave the factory. How= ever, they should be carofully examined when received, and if any damage is apparent, a claim should be filed with the carrier and Siemens Pant notified Soparate instructions are furnished for the particular bush- ings used on each breaker. These should be read before instaling the bushings. In uncrating the bushings, exces sive hammering and racking should be avoided so as to prevent damage to the porcelain parts. After removing the bushings from the crates, place them In a vertical position and thoroughly clean all exposed porcelain parts. ‘When the bushings supplied have been assembled in the breaker for factory testing, both the bushing crates and the bushings are marked with the breaker serial numberINSTALLATION {and position number in which they were installed. Install- jing each bushing in its indicated position will facilitate adjustments. (See page 6 for bushing positions.) Shoulder spacers (255) are provided and are to be inserted into the 1-8/16" diameter holes in the bushing flanges with the shoulder on top of the flange. The bushing is then clamped down using the 3/4” nuts (202) and spring type lockwashers provided. The nuts should be tightened slowly and uniformly until the bushing flange reaches the gasket stop which is provided to keep the gasket from being overstressed. Do not attempt, on the frst tightening, to set them all down as far as they will go. Such practice might distort the bushing flange or damage the gasket {All bushings are filled with nigh grade transformer oil to the proper level and sealed by the manufacturer before shipment. The expansion and contraction of the oil is provided tor by means of an expansion space in the reservoir above the ol A magnetic oll gauge or a transparent reservoir is provided to indicate the actual level in the reservoir at all tempera tures, The bushings are filed so as to indicate "NORMAL fon the gauge at 26 degrees C (77 degrees F). ‘Since the oil level in the reservoir is influenced by the oil temperature, consigeration must be given to the oil temper ature when checking the level. When propery filled, the oll level gauge indication vs oil temperature is as follows: Gauge oi Indication ‘Temperature HIGH 185 dagrees C ( 149 degress F) NORMAL, 25 degrees C | 77 degrees F) Low 40 degrees C ( -40 degrees F) From this table it will be seen that at -40 degrees. the oll level gauge will indicate "LOW" but this level is normal for ~40 degrees. ‘Since the temperature pressure relation for the oil and the expansion space ws established at 25 degrees C, do not remove the filing or drain plugs unless the ol temperature is somewhere near 25 degrees C, The permanently sealed condition allows the bushing to be laid down or handled in any position without danger of oil loss. The power factor and watts loss given on the bushing nameplate apply to the bushing itsalf without any con- nected equipment. Values are obtained with a potential of 10 KV at 20 degrees C (68 degrees F) Page 7 Bushing potential devices when furnished are normally not mounted, When connecting potential devices to the bushings, care- fully follow the instructions furnished with the device ROD GUIDE AND MOVABLE MEMBER (Reler to Figures 2 & 2A) The rod guide assemblies (210 and movable members (204), if removed, have been tagged identifying them by Pole number and should be installed accordingly to facil tate assembly. Mount the rod guides to the rod guide supports on the mechanism well. locating the shims just as they are found strung with hardware and backing plate on the guides. To install movable members (204), remove one wooden side plate (213) and the two rollers (212) by removing the wooden nuts (214) trom one side only. The movable member (204) can now be hung using lift rod clevis pin (209) and (2) 1/8 x 1" cotter pins. The contact rods (207) have been tagged according to their location to allow for orienting the lift rods in the original position, The shimming in the upper and lower holes of the rod guide need not be identical. In the above, plumbing of the Tod guide is not the intent. Temporarily center and steady the lift rod in the rod guide by inserting wedges and then Selermine any out of plumbness of the lift rod which must not exceed .008 per inch. Add washers to lft rod pin (209), botwoon links of mechanism assembly (229) to center lift rod. INTERRUPTING DEVICES (Reter to Figures 2,9, 9A & 38) When the interrupters are shipped in place, they should ‘not be disturbed during installation of the breaker. The procedures in the "Contact Adjustment" section, page 14, should be followed to ensure that there has been no shifting of components during transportation and handling. The interrupting devices it removed have been marked with the breaker serial number and position number. Final adjustment will be facilitated by mounting them in these same locations.

Since many of the breaker adjustments are interdepen- ent, the following order of adjustment is recommended In order to minimize readjustments. Before any of the {ollowing adjustments can be made, the extended height ‘of the operator ram must be adjusted 10 provide the Proper prop latch clearance of "G" (Refer to operator instruction book} A CAUTION To prevent damage to the breaker. Due to the velocity and mass of the moving contacts, the number of operations in aie should be kept fo a minimum and all closing operations | which are made in air should be made at pres- | sures just higher than lockout pressure given on operator nameplate. SHOCK ABSORBERS (Reter to Figure 2) Hydraulic shock absorbers (225) are located under the oi, In each of the circuit breaker tanks. During normal operat- ing conditions, these shock absorbers are supplied with cil from the circuit breaker tanks through a vent in the shock absorber housings. ‘The shock absorbers are set so that in the breaker open position the plunger is down as far as it will go on any ‘one pole and within .18" of this setting on the other two poles. The settings are made by adding or removing shims (228) under the shock absorber mounting flange. ‘The nominal quantity of spacers under each shock absorber is 3. BELL CRANK POSITION BREAKER OPEN (Refer to Figure 5) With the vertical pull rod not pinned to the operator and the breaker open and at least one opening shock absorber down solid, adjust the length of the front horizontal pull rod (503) to locate the bell crank pin (502) 11:30 + 12 from the inside of the housing and inser pin, (This dimension may have to be reset following adjustment of toggles and shock absorbers.) The length of the vertical pull rad can now be adjusted to insert the pin at the operator output crank. With the breaker open there must be a positive gap between the ‘operator toggle roll and the operator ram. (Refer to the ‘operator instruction book.) Actin To prevent damage to the breaker: Do not operate this breaker unless the shock absorbers are filed with oil. Also before tiling tanks, make sure any pipe plugs are removed from shock absorbers, During test conditions (that is, with breal ‘operating in air), the shock absorbers must be filed with oil (use the oil furnished for the circuit breaker tanks) and the vents closed with the pipe plugs (224) provided. The contact rods (207) and the stationary contacts (308) (Fig. 23) should be well coated with vaseline. TOGGLE ADJUSTMENT Geter te Figure 5) A CAUTION |_ 4s To prevent damage to the circuit breaker ‘Shock absorber settings, overtravel stops, and ‘contact rod penetration must be rechecked and readjusted as required if the toggle settings are ever disturbed for this has a direct effect on each. The proper toggle adjustment is a very vital factor in the smooth and easy operation of the breaker mechanismADJUSTMENTS Page 10 See eee ee eee ee eee particularly on breakers having high curcent ratings. Its Adjustment affects the ease of closing, the tripping cha acteristics, and the opening speed of the breaker. A ‘breaker with its toggle linkage too far off center will close very hard because the proper mechanical advantage is not obtained. In this condition, the breaker may also f to trip due to the excessive pressure on the trip latches in the operating mechanism. The toggle isin correct adjustment when the 1/8" diameter hole in the clovis (505) is within .09" of the center marks fon the sides of the mechanism well To check this, t will be necessary to remove the pipe plugs (506). Close the breaker slowly with the maintenance losing device until itis just latched in If this adjustment is not correct on the first pole (the pole ‘on which the operator cabinet is mounted), open the breaker, remove the end box cover and remove the pin (502) in the bell crank (501), The check nut can then be loosened and the clevis rotated as necessary fo obtain the correct adjustment, SECOND AND REAR POLES nee the first pole has been adjusted, poles two and three will have to be checked and adjusted if necessary, in that order. ‘To do this, with the breaker in tne open position, remove the four nuts (510) on the Oresser coupling (507) just ahead of the pole to be adjusted. Slide the coupling (507) onto the two parts af the connecting rod pipe exposing the turnbuckle (508), Loosen the check nut (503) ang rotate the turnbuckle (508) to obtain the necessary adjust- ‘ment. This turnbuckle has a 1 1/4-12 right hand and left hand thread. Sinee both threads will affect the adjustment, each turn of the turnbuckle will move the rod approxi- mately 1/8 inches. READJUSTMENT BELL CRANK POSITION — BREAKER OPEN. (Reter to Figure 5) Following all of the preceding adjustments the bell crank dimension can be reset I itis no longer within tolerance ‘With the breaker open pull the pin (502) at the bell crank to the horizontal pull rod and the pin at the vertical pull tod to the operator output crank. Lengthen or shorten the horizontal rod (503) as required counting the number of turns taken on the clevis (505) and then replace the pin. The clevis on the vertical pull rod must now be changed the same number of turns in the opposite direction and then pinned. NOTE The threads of the horizontal and vertical pull ——— ‘rods and check nuts have been sealed. When: ever the check nut or rod threads have been loosened or rotated to adjust the pull rod lengths, a new application of thread sealant (Lootite) is required. OVERTRAVEL STOPS (Refer to Figure 2) This BZO Oil Circuit Breaker is equipped with resilient overtravel stops (216), They are located in tne mechanism Well of each pole unit directly above the top of the lift rod ‘The stops serve to prevent the pole unit mechanism and litt rods from overtravel enough to cause damage. The stops have been set at the factory to allow slight overtravel Of the lift rods and no further adjustment should be necessary. However, the adjustment should be checked to see that there is the proper clearance of .06” + .03" between the top of the lft rod and the bottom of the stop with the breaker in the full closed (latched in) position. All adjustments and maintenance can be done by removing the pipe cap (217). Thore is a special wrench furnished for making this adjustment. With the breaker in the closed position, proper adjustment is obtained by screwing the stop down until it touches the top of the lit rod, and then backing off on the stop screw 3/4 = 1/4 turns, After the setting has been made, the tops ‘must be locked in position with the check nuts (270). Wen It is necessary to remove the resilient spacers (283, ‘and 234) from the overtravel stop for replacement or inspection, first remove nut (270) and then unscrew the assembly from the tank. Removing retaining ring (285) will then free plug (282) and the resilient spacers. Upon removal it |s advisable to make note of the number of spacers used, thoir thickness and their relative position to facilitate their replacement. There should be sufficient spacers to provide a tight stacking with the plug and retaining ring in place.] ADJUSTMENTS Page 11 CONTACT ADJUSTMENT (Reter to Figures 2 & 3) With the breaker closed, draw a reference line on the contact rod (207) adjacent to the bottom surtace of the Interrupter shell (325). For the correct contact rod penetta- tion, this reference line should be 10.8 + .08 inches down trom the top of the contact rod. The contact rads can be screwed up or down to provide the necessary adjustment by first loosening socket head cap screws (253) and then retightening after adjustment.

TAILSPRING (Rotor to Figure 6) The tailspring (608), mounted on pole #3, is provided to ensure the proper movable member speed during an opening operation. The tailspring is preset at the factory to provide a movable member opening speed of 14 to 16 ‘eet per second during the first four inches of travel atter ‘contact part During factory test, the tailspring Is initially adjusted to have approximately 1-3/4" precompression and a follow through compression of 2". The precompressian setting may be changed during factory test to obtain the proper ‘opening speed. Precompression is determined by the position of the nut (601) on the rod (607). When the proper setting of the spring has been obtained, a #6 hole is drilled through the nut (601) and the rod (607) and a ‘cotter pin (608) inserted to retain this setting Rarely, i ever, will this adjustment need to be changed in the field. If any significant change in the talspring setting ‘appears necessary, the operator. bell crank and toggle adjustments should also be checked. OPERATIONAL CHECK (Refer to Figures 2 & 10) ‘An operational check can now be made to determine that the breaker operating speeds are correct To facilitate checking the operating speed, a 10-32 tapped hole has been provided in the top of the lift rod of each pole. A connecting rod may be inserted by first removing Pipe cap (217), (Fig. 2). Several speed analyzers are available on the market. Two of these are the “CIRCUIT BREAKER OPERATION ANALY- ZER" manufactured TR-1A CIRCUIT BREAKER MOTION ANALYZER” sold by the Doble Engineering Company. ‘These instruments, when used in accordance with sup- plied instructions, give a full scale record of lift rod travel v6. time, The operating speed is defined as the average speed over the four inches of travel after contact during opening ‘operations, and over the same distance betore contact make during closing operations. Contact make or break points are assumed to occur 1-1/8 inches below the fully Closed position. The velocities are calculated in feet per second (S00 Fig. 10) during the 4 inches of vertical wave 1. OPENING SPEED The opening speed must average 14 to 16 feet per second over the first 4 inches of stroke from contact separation. The breaker opening speed may be adjusted by changing the amount of precompression of the tailspring. (See TAILSPRING ADJUSTMENT) 2. CLOSING SPEED The closing speed must average 14 to 20 feet per ‘second over that portion of tho stroke from 4 inches. below contact make, The breaker closing speed is not adjustable and should be referred to the factory ‘when itis not within the specitied limits, FINAL INSTALLATION, CONNECTIONS AND INSPECTION SUMMARY ‘After ail adjustments have been made. itis recommended that the manhole gaskets (Figure 1, \tem 106) and bushing gaskets (Figure 4, Item 4, Item 423) used for shipping be feplaced with the new ones provided for this purpose (Reler to section “Gaskets") Before putting the breaker into service, be sure that 1.

Particular applications may require further procedures. Should further information be desired or should particular problems arise which are not covered sufficiently for the purchaser's purposes. the matter should be referred to the local Siamens-Allis sales office, The use of unauthorized parts in the repair of the equip ment, tampering by unqualified personnel, or incorrect adjustments will result in dangerous conditions which can ‘cause severe personal injury or equipment damage. Follow all safety instructions contained herein, INSPECTION SCHEDULE tis recommended that the breaker be Inspected mechani cally and electrically at least every six months, lubricate all boaring surlaces regularly with a good quality light, ‘s0n-gumming lubricating oll having @ pour point below ~40 degrees C. Operating the mechanism several times each month will insure continued trouble tree operation of the mechanical arts and reduce the accumulation of oxidized oll on the breaker contacts. itis recommended that this practice be followed by all users of ol circuit breakers Before removing any part to be replaced or inspected observe its function and adjustment.

Check the items listed in the "FINAL INSTALLATION, CONNECTION AND INSPECTION SUMMARY” section, GASKETS Atter a gasket has been in use for a period of time, it will become deformed or take @ permanent “set” Since itis the function of the gaskets to keep the breaker tree of oil leaks and weatherproot, it is recommended that, once a {asketed joint is broken, the old gasket be removed and replaced with a new one, When instaling or replacing gaskets, it is essential that allMAINTENANCE metal gasket surfaces be dry and tree of scale, grease, oll land rust, The surface should be scraped and cleaned with TRICHLOROETHANE, or equivalent non-toxic cleaning agent. One coat of oil proof gasket cement should be applied to the metal gasket seat and to the gasket surfaces that will come in contact with this seat. After the cement has dried to the state where is is tacky. the gasket should be forced into Its groove. The gasket should be held firmly in place until the cement has set, ‘The surface of the gasket that is notin the groove may be given a light coat of grease to facilitate breaking the joint at a future date, When the gasket is firmly in place, the cover or bushing ‘can be bolted into position. The bolts should be uniformly tightened in small increments. To prevent over-stressing the gasket, the flanges on the manways and tanks bushing flange are provided with stops so that these flanges pull down metal-to-metal. This construction permits the gasket to be compressed to its proper value. Large gaskets which cannot be made from one piece are built up of strips. These strips are joined by use of scarted joints, and they should be assembled before installing the ‘gasket into its groove. The joints are made by tapering the ends and fitting them together. The taper is made by starting about 1-1/2" to 2" trom the end cutting diagonally at an angle of 10 degrees. It's advisable to fle or sand~ paper the cut after itis made, Its necessary in assembling ‘the strips that the two pieces be tapered the same. A thin coat of cement should be applied to each strip and allowed to dry until tacky. The strips can then be clamped together. After the cement has set, the joint should be tiled or sandpapered until itis the same thickness as the rest of the gasket OIL LEAKS {A great deal ot care has been taken to make all Siemens Oil Circuit Breakers oll tight and to prevent oil seepage through the joints. Every joint on Siemens Oil Circuit Breakers is caretully designed to give maximum tightness. Gaskets are made of high-grade materials, with machine- searfed joints where required. Tanks on the frame mounted breakers, and manhole cover flanges on the floor and skid mounted breakers, are pulled down to make metal-to- metal contact, compressing the gasket material to the most efficient compression point. This design prevents. stressing the gasket beyond its elastic limit and prevents possible leaky joints, Page 15 11 oll leaks should appear at a gasketed joint, the bolts, should be checked for tightness. If tightening the bolts is ot effective, a new gasket must be installed as described in the section on "GASKETS" Oil leaks at wolds may be stopped by peening, soldering or welding. Peering if often affective for small leaks. Large leaks can usually be stopped by soldering alone, or ‘8 combination of peening and soldering, Leaks that cannot be stopped by any of these methods must be wolded, i Joaks at threaded joints in the tanks or pneu-draulic, system may be stopped by tightening the joint or applying 2 pipe sealant such as "Loctite Pipe Sealant with Teflon” CARE OF INSULATING OIL lL SPECIFICATIONS: NEMA ST. 8G-P1/TR (A-€ Universal No. 3) A.C Universal #3 circuit breaker oll has been developed to mest very rigid specifications, and each shipment is carefully tested to be certain that the following require= ‘ments are met: [ASTM METHOD rest (OF TEST. ‘Minimum Flash Paint ASTM Std.

The {est cup should be thoroughly cleaned with Trichloroe, thane, then rinsed out with a portion of the ‘oll to be tested. The test gap should be checked before use with the teeler gauge provided. cease EE SAMPLES FOR TEST cee ESTEE ‘The semple container should be a large mouth glass bottle with a cord stopper. A rubber stopper should not be used as sulphur in the rubber would dissolve and spoil the sample. The bottle should be cleaned with gasoline and dried betore being used, The sample for dielectric tests should be at least 16 ‘Ounces, and if other tests are to be made, one quart (22 ounces} Zest samples should be taken only after the oil has settled for some time, depending on the amount of oll trom Which the sample is to be taken. Coie oil is much slower in Setting and may settlo very litle even after a long Period af time. Oil samples from the oll circuit breaker should be taken from the sampling valve on the side of the drain valve, It is not necessary to open the drain valve to obtain this sample as the sampling vaive opens into the tank side of the drain valve. Oil samples trom a drum should be taken trom the bottom. A brass or glass “thet can be convaniently used for this purpose. The same method should be used for cleaning the "thiet” as s used for cleaning the container. When samples of oil are drawn from the bottom of the oi! circuit breaker, sufficient oil must frst be drawn otf to be sure that the sample will be comprised of oil {rom the ‘bottom of the tank and not trom the oll stored in the drainMAINTENANCE pipe. A glass receptacle is desired so that, if water is present, it may be readily observed. If water is found, and. investigation of the cause should be made and a remedy applied. if water is not present in sufficient quantity to settle out, the oil may still contain considerable moisture Jn a suspended state. The oil snould, therefore, be tested for dielectric strength, ‘The neutralization number of new oil should be 0.03 or tess, The oll should be replaced when the neutralization number is 0.5 or greater. FILTERING METHOD When the test cup is filled with oil and both the oil and the test cup should be at room temperature, or approximately 25 degrees ©. After the receptacle has been filed, two to five minutes should be allowied for air bubbles to escape before voltage is applied. Tapping or rocking the cup ‘gently wil be of assistance in dislodging air bubbles, The rate of increase in voitage should be about 3000 volts per second. Five breakdowns should be made on each filing, the receptacle emptied and refilled with tresh i trom the original sample. After each breakdown, the cup ‘should be locked to dislodge the carbonized oil from the ‘gap. The average voltage of 15 tests (five tests on each of ‘three filings) is usually taken as the dielectric strength of the ol, It is recommended that the testing continue until the mean of the average of at least three filings is consistent In all cases where tests snow a low dielectric strengt cll must be filtered to remove dirt and moisture, the ‘When the oil in the circuit breaker is to be fitered, it is preterable to draw it from the circuit breaker and discharge: it into a spare, clean, dry tank or drums. The circuit breaker tanks, bushings, liners, where used, and other insulating parts can then be thoroughly cleaned and the oil returned after filtering. This should be done on a clear ‘ry day and care must be taken to provent exposure of large surtaces of oll to the atmosphere. Aeration of the oil must also be avoided. When this procedure cannot be followed, satisfactory results can be obtained by circulating the oil through the Iilter prase and the breaker tank, drawing the oll from the bottom of the tank and returning it through the filter press valve at the top of the tank.

BUSHING (Roter to Figures 2 & 3) In order to change a bushing, it will be necessary to remove the interrupting device (245), While this device can be removed as a unit by removing the cap screws holding the adapter (220) to the bottom of the bushing. will be necessary to partly disassemble the device so as to check adjustments after the replacement bushing Is in stalled, Thoretore, the following procedure is recom- mendes: Refer to Figure 2 and remove the Interrupter by removing the cap screws (205) and washers (208) Remove the adapter (220) Remove the bushing flange nuts (202), The old bushing ‘can then be slowly lifted out of the breaker, being careful not to damage the current transformer Refer to "HOW TO MAKE GASKETED JOINTS’, ang replace the bushing gasket (250)When a new bushing is supplied with a protective coating 61 its oll end, itis recommended that this coating be left ‘on until after the bushing is slid into tho breaker as this Coating will then serve to protect both the bushing and the transformer from camage during the installation. All bushings are in good concition when shipped trom the factory. However, they should be carefully examined wnen received, and it any damage is apparent, a claim should be filed with the carrier and Siemens Plant, notified. In uncrating the bushings, excessive hammering and rack- ing should be avoides so as to prevent damage to the Porcelain parts. Alter removing the bushings from the ‘crates, place them in a vertical position and thoroughly clean all exposed porcelain parts. Bushings should be installed in such a position that the oil gauges face outward, perpendicular to the longitudinal center line of the breaker, When securing the new bushing be sure that there are spring type lockwashers under each bushing flange nut (202) and that tnere is a shoulder spacer inserted in each bushing flange mounting hole with the shoulder set on top of the flange (celer to instructions on “BUSHING. INSTALLATION’), Refer to “INSTALL INTERRUPTING DEVICES" in the installation section for procedure in remounting the ‘adapter and interrupting device CURRENT TRANSFORMER (Refer to Figures 2, Tana 8) ‘The bushing current transtormer must be mounted from within the tank, Before adding or removing a transformer, it is recom- ‘mended that the apparatus bushing and movable member To prevent personal injury and damage to trans- former: These transformers can weigh up to 135 pounds each. Provision must be made to safely handle its weight in the limited space available first be removed. This will not only facilitate work In the tank but will also eliminate any possibility of damaging the bushing while doing this work. Refer to Replacement Parts Section “BUSHINGS” for instructions on bushing removal 1, REMOVAL OF A LOWER TRANSFORMER When two transtormers are mounted on the same bushing, the bottom transformers can be removed without disturbing the upper transformer. Remove the transformer lead terminal box cover (801). Identify the leads of the transformer to be removed and ‘cut out the crimped type two way connector. ‘The leads are labeled at the splice for identification The numbers correspond to the bushing on which the transformer is located, and the letter ¥ or X designates: {an upper or lower transformer respectively, (Example 3Y I a lead on the upper transformer on number 3 bushing) Loosen bushing (802) and pull the transformer leads down through the gas seal into the tank. The lower transformer ean now be removed by removing the 5/8: 11 hox nuts (804). Locking strips (805) must first be bent out tat to allow backing off the nuts. REINSTALLING LOWER TRANSFORMER ‘When installing the new transtormer, the transformer polarity mark (a black stripe on the top of the trans former) must be in the up position. Make sure that there is a washer (806) at top and bottom of the transformer and that the transformer is positioned on bottom plate (807) such that the leads are in line with the cut out in the CT well Torque up nuts (804) to 25 + 5 toot pounds, and then bend corners of locking strip (805) against a flat on the ‘Aut and up against corner of plate (807) 2, REPLACING TRANSFORMER LEAD GAS SEAL After the transformer leads have been strung they must be brought out through the gas seal. The housing ‘must be repacked to assure a proper seal Completely unscrew bushing (802) and ltt out washer (811), spacer (612), top steel washer (808), and top neoprene washer (810) from housing (813). These parts Can be left strung on the transtormer leads. Pack duct seal (809) onto the exposed surtace of bottom neoprene: washer (810) to a depth of approximately 1/4 inch also ‘spread the leads apart and apply sealer between them.‘The sealer (808) is non-hardening and oil proof. The top neoprene washer. top stee! washer, and spacer are then reinserted in the housing and the bushing (802) tetightened to form the gas seal Refer to appropriate section for procedure in reinstall Ing the bushing, interrupting device, and movable member ‘After the bushing has been installed, make sure that the transformer bottom plate (807) does rot touch the bushing ground sleeve at any point; otherwise, a shorted turn would fe simulated resulting in a trans- former ratio error. REMOVAL OF UPPER TRANSFORMER (TWO TRANSFORMERS PER BUSHING) To remove the upper transformer, the lower transformer must first be removed as outlined in the previous section (“REMOVAL OF LOWER TRANSFORMER’) ‘The transformer leads of the upper transtormors are then Identified and cut free at the splice in the terminal box atop the breaker tank and pulled down through the gas seal ‘The lower jam nuts (816) can now be backed off of threaded rods (819) freeing the transformer and center plate (815). To facilitate backing off the jam nuts, the fansformer and center plate should be temporarily held in place by other means, When installing the new transformer make sure that the polarity mark (a black stripe on the top end of the transformer) is in the up position and that there is 4 washers (814) on the top and one on the bottom. Also ‘make sure that the transtormor leads are located at the conduit connection. Torque jam nuts (816) to 25» 5 foot pounds. Reinstall lower transtormer and repack the transformer lead gas seal per instructions in provious section. REMOVAL OF UPPER TRANSFORMER (ONE PER BUSHING) Refer to previous sections for procedure in igontilying, isolating, and pulling the transformer leads down through the gas seal The transformer can now be removed by backing out ‘cap screws (817). The cap screws will turn Nard since they have been locked In place with LOCTITE. REINSTALLING UPPER TRANSFORMER (ONE PER BUSHING) When installing the new transformer, the transformer polarity mark (a black stripe on the top end) must be in the up position, Make sure that there are 4 washers (814) on the top and one on the bottom and that the twanstormer leads are located at the cut out in CT woll Torque cap scrows (817) to 25 +5 foot pounds applying new application of LOCTITE to the thread. Remove the original application of LOCTITE so that it won't influence the torque reading by using new bolts or by repeated thread engagement prior to mounting the transformer. Also prior to appiying the LOCTITE, clean the threads of oil using LOCTITE primer BEARING MECHANISM ASSEMBLY (Reter to Figure 28) The bearings in the pole unit mechanism links have a special Teflon coated inner race and are sized to ermit a press fit into the housings in the links. No reaming Is requived atter pressing into place thus the finish is preserved.
