Maintenance information
Maintenance requirements
All Eaton’s Cooper Power series reclosers require routine
inspection and maintenance to ensure proper operation. If
the equipment is not adequately maintained, it may fail to
operate properly.
Maintenance manuals
Maintenance instruction manuals for single-phase reclosers
are listed in Table 6 by their Service Information Number.
Frequency of maintenance
To assure proper and trouble-free operation, oil interrupting
reclosers must be maintained when they have operated
the equivalent of a rated duty cycle (see Table 2). Vacuum
interrupting reclosers must be maintained when they
have operated the equivalent of twice the rated duty cycle
(see Table 2).
otee:
N
ANSI Guide C37.61-1973, “
Guide for the Application,
Operation and Maintenance of Automatic Circuit
Reclosers
”, provides a procedure for converting
the rated standard duty cycle into an equivalent
duty cycle based on the actual operating duty of
the recloser.
Recloser maintenance intervals
In the absence of specific operating experience, use the
following guideline(s) to establish maintenance intervals for
single-phase reclosers:
Oil interrupting reclosers should be maintained
at
minimum
every three (3) years.
Vacuum interrupting reclosers should be maintained
at
minimum
of fifteen (15) years.
For additional information and specific maintenance
requirements, including periodic routine inspection
procedures, refer to the appropriate maintenance manual as
indicated in Table 6.

Eaton representative.
Factory maintenance classes
The factory service department offers recloser
maintenance-training classes. These classes, taught by
experienced service technicians, are held at the factory
in-house training facility.
The courses provide hands-on instruction and factory
recommended procedures for the routine maintenance,
troubleshooting, repair, and testing of Eaton’s Cooper
Power series switchgear. It is strongly recommended that
all personnel who service and maintain Eaton’s Cooper
Power series switchgear attend the appropriate classes. For
additional information, contact your Eaton representative.
Instructional video programs
Two DVD video maintenance-training programs,
KSPV1A,
General Maintenance and Inspection Procedures For Kyle
Reclosers and KSPV2A, Mechanical Operation Service and
Testing For Kyle Single-Phase Reclosers
, are available as
supplemental training aids for maintenance personnel.
These video programs, developed for use in factory
maintenance classes, are to be used in conjunction with
existing service literature. For additional information, contact

CAUTION
This equipment relies on dielectric fluid to provide
electrical insulation between components . The dielectric
strength of the fluid must be checked on a regular basis,
as part of the routine maintenance inspection, to ensure
that it is at or above minimum dielectric requirements .
Use of this equipment with dielectric fluid that does
not meet minimum requirements can result in internal
flashovers that will damage the equipment and can
cause personal injury .
