The shipment contains:
• Three pole-units each consisting of an interrupter, an insulating support column, a support
insulator, and a base – all factory-assembled and adjusted
• A single high-speed base, enclosing the high-speed power train which drives the inter-
rupters
• The appropriate number of mounting pedestals complete with support arms and channels:
— Single-pedestal: 69 kV (with 48-inch (1219-mm)phase spacing)
— Two-pedestals: 69 kV (with 84-inch (2134-mm) phase spacing); 115 kV and 138 kV and
can be specified on 161 kV
— Three-pedestals: Can be specified on 161 kV, and standard on 230 kV.
• A Series 2000 Circuit-Switcher switch operator
• A container of operating-mechanism components and hardware—all individually identified
• Any optional features or accessories specified, such as a grounding switch
DANGER
DO NOT disassemble or modify the interrupters . The interrupters are pressurized at
75 PSIG .
Serious personal injury can result.
Storage
CAUTION
Connect control power to the switch operator when storing it outdoors . The switch
operator is equipped with a space heater that must be energized during storage to
prevent condensation and corrosion within the operator enclosure . Alternatively, store
the operator in a climate controlled area .
If the Series 2000 Circuit-Switcher must be stored before installation, keep it in a clean, dry,
corrosion-free area to protect it from damage. Make sure each skid rests firmly on the ground
and is reasonably level. Shoring under the skids may be necessary if the ground is uneven.
If storing outdoors or in a non-climate-controlled area, connect control power to the space
heater inside the Series 2000 Switch Operator per the wiring diagram. Inspect the circuit-
switcher regularly when storing for prolonged periods.
NOTICE
Please complete and mail the circuit-switcher registration card (enclosed in a vinyl
envelope located inside the operator) after the circuit-switcher has been installed . The
information requested on this card is vital to ensure prompt notification in the event field
modifications are needed .
