Figure 13. Removing the VacuFuse II interrupter with
gloved hands.
To prevent premature end of life, attach a
Talon Handling Tool or a distribution prong
to a short hotstick. Using the straight prong of
the Talon tool or a distribution prong, pull the
pull-ring forward until the VacuFuse II inter-
rupter disengages from the
Closed into Cutout
position. A swift, firm pull will be required.
If the VacuFuse II self-resetting interrupter
is stuck in the cutout mounting in
Abnormal
mode, it is necessary to check for voltage
presence in the cutout mounting.
If voltage is present in the cutout mounting
and the CHARGING LED is not blinking,
Abnormal
mode is confirmed.
Remove the VacuFuse II self-resetting
interrupter from its cutout mounting using
Loadbuster®—The S&C Loadbreak Tool.
Then, re-install the VacuFuse II interrupter as
described in the “Installation” section starting
on page 9.
If there is no voltage present in the cutout
mounting, wait for power to be restored in the
cutout mounting and test again for any of the
three possible conditions.
If the VacuFuse II Self-Resetting Interrupter
is in its cutout mounting with the vacuum inter-
rupter in the
Closed
position and operating the
OPEN/CLOSE lever to the
Open
position does
not work, or the VacuFuse II interrupter is to
be removed from its cutout mounting in the
Closed
position for any other reason, follow
the instructions in the “Removing the VacuFuse
II Interrupter from the Cutout Mounting using
Loadbuster®—The S&C Loadbreak Tool”
section on page 20.
STEP 3.
Remove the VacuFuse II Self-Resetting
Interrupter from a 110-kV BIL-rated or a 125/
150-kV BIL-rated cutout mounting with gloved
hands as shown in Figure 13.
