Summary & Introduction
Introduction
Southern States Type CVB-2 switch is a three-pole, single-throw, three insulator, end rotating
stack, vertical break, group operated, outdoor air disconnect switch.
The current carrying parts are of copper alloy with copper-to-copper sealed threaded hinge
current transfer points and silver-to-silver current transfer points at the jaw end. Due to their
unique structure, reverse loop contacts on the jaw end of this switch provide high-pressure
contact when subjected to high currents.
The Type CVB-2 switch also features weatherproof rotating insulator bearings, positive stops on
each switch pole in the open and closed positions, insulator leveling bolts (72.5 kV and above)
at each insulator stack and double channel bases (121 kV and above).
The instructions contained within this manual are necessary for the safe installation,
maintenance, and operation of the Type CVB-2 switch. A qualified person, familiar with this of
type equipment, should carefully read and follow the instructions.
These instructions are intended to provide a general guideline for the installation, adjustment,
