Installation & Adjustment Procedures
operator will have to be changed to achieve proper rotation.
Please contact representative.
3. Leave the operator in the starting position as originally shown on the operating mechanism
drawing.
4. To achieve CLOCKWISE handle rotation to OPEN you must attach the adjustable arm 180
degrees from its original setup. The pipe clevis will also need to be rotated to the opposite
side of the adjustable arm (side closest to the structure) but with the radius of the clevis
still pointing toward the disconnect switch. The adjustable arm will now rotate toward the
structure instead of away from it.
5. Attach all other items as shown in the operating mechanism drawing.
6. If the mechanism was originally setup for PUSH to OPEN it has now been changed to
PULL to OPEN and vice versa.
5 Horizontally mounted disconnect switches with EVG-1 ground switch – PARTIAL
DISASSEMBLY WILL BE REQUIRED. Please contact Local Representative or Southern
States Service Division immediately. New brackets for the ground switch and a new
main switch operator will be required to make this change.
5.1 Disconnect adjustment
5.1.1 With the disconnect phase on the ground, remove the ground switch
and mounting bracket as a complete assembly.
5.1.2 If the insulators have not been installed, unbolt the live parts from the
switch bearings and flip the paddle arms on each bearing along the
long axis of the switch base. Reinstall all items as described in section
1.
5.1.3 If the insulators have been installed, unbolt the male and female blades
from the insulator. Unbolt the insulators from the switch bearings and
flip the paddle arms on each bearing along the long axis of the switch
base. Reinstall all items as described in section 1.
5.1.4 Minor adjustments maybe required to the operating rod (Refer to Error!
Reference source not found.) to achieve proper open close operation
as described in Section 2 above.
5.2 Ground Switch Adjustment
5.2.1 Rotate the ground switch jaw 180 degrees and reattach to disconnect
blade.
5.2.2 Install new support bracket to the switch base. The ground switch
must be installed on the OPEN side of the disconnect. Adjust the
jacking bolts on the bracket until ground switch fits properly into its jaw.
5.3 Operator and Operating linkage adjustment
5.3.1 Both operators must move to the opposite leg(s) of the structure
directly across from their current position
5.3.2 Operator
• Setup operating linkages as shown in revised operating mechanism drawings
that will be provided.
•
Please note that a new operator will be needed for the main switch. The ground
switch operator is the same.
