e. X-r
AyS
When high voltage is applied across the
contacts of a vacuum interrupter, there is the
possibility of generation of X-rays. The intensity
of the X-radiation is dependent on the peak
voltage and the contact gap. At the normal
operating voltage for this type of equipment,
the radiation levels are negligible. At the
voltages specified for testing, test personnel
shall be in front of the circuit breaker such that
the two layers of steel used in the frame and
front cover construction are between the test
personnel and the vacuum interrupters, and
that the test personnel be no closer than one
meter (3’) from the front of the circuit breaker.
THE CIRCUIT BREAKER SHALL BE EITHER
FULLY OPEN, OR FULLY CLOSED WHEN
MAKING HIGH POTENTIAL TESTS. DO NOT
TEST WITH CONTACTS PARTIALLY OPEN.
