Introduction

Switchgear with the VC-W MR2 integral racking option allows an 

operator to remotely rack a VCP-W breaker or auxiliary drawer 

from a distance of 30 ft . (9 .14 m) or greater depending on the 

communication option installed .  The integral racking assembly 

consists of a controller and a motor mounted in the rear of the 

breaker or auxiliary pan assembly, as well as safety and component 

position sensing devices located on the racking mechanism of the 

breaker and auxiliary pan assembly .  The controller accepts 120 Vac 

and supplies power to the motor based on user input .  The position 

of the VCP-W breaker or auxiliary drawer is detected by two limit 

switches located on the side of the racking mechanism .

m

 DANGER

WHEN SWITCHGEAR IS CERTIFIED TO BE ARC-RESISTANT PER  

ANSI/IEEE

®

 STD.  C37.20.7, THE ARC-RESISTANT RATING IS ONLY VALID 

WHEN ALL DOORS ARE CLOSED AND PROPERLY LATCHED OR BOLTED, 

AND ALL COMPONENTS ARE INSTALLED AND WORKING PROPERLY. 

IN ADDITION, REMOVAL OF ANY BREAKER FROM ITS CELL WITHOUT 

REINSTALLING A BREAKER OR ARC-RESISTANT PROVISION COVER WILL 

VOID THE ARC-RESISTANT RATING.
