Operation

The operating torque is less than 35 ft-Ibs (47 Nm). During 

transformer assembly, it is recommended to operate the 

switch one complete cycle (in each direction), after fluid fill.
Sectionalizing loadbreak switches rotate 360° in either 

direction for alternate source selection. An externally-

installed index plate prevents rotation to positions other 

than the one desired. The switch cannot be switched more 

than one position without resetting the index plate.
A spring-loaded activating mechanism ensures quick 

loadbreak action and positive contact engagement trough all 

positions. Switching can be accomplished in less than one 

cycle, and should be performed with a hotstick.
Using a clampstick leverage tool (P/N CS125UFLTOOL) with 

an Eaton's Cooper Power series Fit-On™ head clampstick 

provides operators with increased level of mechanical 

advantage when performing switching operations.
When switching (with hotstick) from one position to the 

next, (for example: in Figure 7 “line A & B” to position 

“line A only”), the limit plate should be located on the pin 

between the origin and the destination.
Turn hotstick handle, in a rapid motion, until switch has 

fully indexed into the next position. If for any reason, the 

switching operation cannot be completed with a single 

motion, it is acceptable to relax, regrip the hotstick and 

complete the operation by moving the switch handle in the 

same direction

 as the original effort. 

ote:

N

Do not reverse the direction of the switching 

operation before completing the rotation to the next 

position. Reversing direction prior to completing the 

rotation to the next position could jam the mechanism, 

making the switch inoperable.

If the handle stops (jams) in a position between 

the designated (marked) positions, stop switching 

operation and consult the factory prior to 

reattempting operation of the switch.
